He's not exactly new to the domain, now.

One thing I appreciate with Taubes (having read his early books, not the more recent ones -- I really liked The case against sugar), is that he has an epistemologically correct approach to the problem. He looks at it through the eyes of a rigorous scientist, unlike most people in nutrition science.

For the most part, he was very cautious in his claim and spent most of his time discussing why claims accepted as correct are completely full of shit. It's likely that, through time, he built a corpus of knowledge and understanding that allow him to be a bit more assertive today (again, I've not read his recent work), but really, his early books are, in my opinion, remarkable for their thoroughness and intellectual honesty.

I don’t know where you get your nutrition science, but that’s a very bizarre perspective.
