Sure it's possible to lose weight on a Twinkie diet but who would actually recommend that instead of just plain, simple eating healthy through whole foods?
It's also not entirely relevant, in that you're changing the topic: My whole point is that it's apparently possible to lose weight and improve your cholesterol on a Twinkie diet, not that it's necessarily desirable or anything else.
My larger point is that foods are not necessarily good or evil. Demonizing foods is idiotic. So is idolizing them. They must always be evaluated in context.
