Robert Lustig is a physician (pediatric endocrinologist) and medical researcher. In this engaging and wide-ranging talk, he identifies the most important cause of America's epidemic of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, coronary disease, liver disease, and metabolic disorder. The culprit is sugar, specifically fructose. . . .
(Continued under "Credits.")
(Continued:) Industry is increasing the amount of fructose in packaged foods, including and especially soda. High fructose corn syrup is not the only villain: any form is bad, including table sugar (which the body turns into fructose).
Lustig explores the politics, economics, and biochemistry behind this now-global problem.
