Sugar: The Bitter Truth Video

January 13, 2010 ↓ 1 Comments

My friend Mary referred me to the following video. It is a talk by Robert H. Lustig, MD, UCSF Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology. He argues that too much fructose and not enough fiber is a cause for concern. He discusses obesity, Gatorade, and hypertension. He explains the history of cheap foods, why exercise is important, how natural fructose always appears with fiber in nature, why six month olds are getting fat, and also addresses an alcohol/sugar connection.

Thanks for posting this! I never understood the differences between fructose, glucose and ethanol before I watched this. It really helped me to understand how each effects the body. I really enjoyed it!
