LOL right back. I frankly don't give a flying F what the presenter's "credentials" are. I care about the scientific truth. Try doing some research on that. The interwebs are full of characters who, one way or another, get paid to spout nonsense, the author of Grain Belly being a prime example. In any case since you don't care to try to investigate this guy's claims, I've done it for you on several of these recent topics, years ago. So, in no particular order:
Effect of Eucaloric High- and Low-Sucrose Diets With Identical Macronutrient Profile on Insulin Resistance and Vascular Risk Diabetes

From that last link:
De novo Lipogenesis Doesn’t Cause Significant Weight or Fat Gain
In that second study above, the researchers used sophisticated metabolic techniques to measure exactly how much weight the women gained from fat vs. carbs. They found that the carb-overfed women stored about 282 grams of body fat per day, but only 4 grams of it came from de novo lipogenesis. De novo lipogenesis accounted for a measly 1.4% of their fat gain.
IOW, a while lot of french fries is about the worst thing you can eat.
People get on bandwagons about all sorts of stuff, the internet being a major contributor to this. Then it becomes for a while conventional wisdom, perhaps better known as bro science.
