Just as I thought. It sounds like this Jacobson has a personal agenda.
He's not a scientist in the strict sense of the term, but a lobbyist, who
is pushing his own opinions under the guise of a nice-sounding
organization name.
The USMA needs to educate him. Maybe he's just out of it. Everyone else
is using grams in nutrition. Paul Trusten has made a very convincing
argument against teaspoons.
From B.J. White: "Here is Jacobson's bio from the website. Michael F.
Jacobson, Ph.D., is co-founder and executive director of the Center for
Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), a nonprofit health advocacy
organization supported largely by the 850,000 subscribers to its Nutrition
Action Healthletter. CSPI is a key player in battles against obesity,
cardiovascular disease, and other health problems, using tactics ranging
from education to legislation to litigation. Jacobson has written numerous
books and reports, including Nutrition Scoreboard, Six Arguments for a
Greener Diet, "Salt: the Forgotten Killer," and "Liquid Candy: How Soft
Drinks are Harming Americans? Health.""
