Regarless of the author's slant, a taste test by someone not following a low-carb plan is unfair in itself. If you are used to sugar laden foods, artificial sweetener is going to taste different. Look at the difference between Coke and Diet Coke.

But after not eating sugar for awhile, my diet taste like normal pop to me. In fact, if I take a drink of my husband's pop by accident (the old drive thru swap... blechky!!) it tastes like pure syrup now.

It's just another way to put down the WOE. Lets talk about the taste of rice cakes or a dried up chicken breast with nothing on it.

The author did have one point that I think is relevant. Miller Light does taste much better than Michelob Ultra, costs less and is safe carb-wise for that occassional beer. Unless you really like MU, why sacrifice?
