Robert Lustig’s [email protected] Talk on Obesity

August 7, 2011 By Gregor Winter

Here is a must watch. Another fantastic presentation by Robert Lustig, M.D.

You probably know him from his “Sugar: The Bitter Truth” talk.

Now he did an [email protected] talk in which he tackles the question

What’s causing the obesity epidemic?

He presents the issues and history that let to the current situation really well and tells you why a calorie is not a calorie, as well as showing some pretty frightening statistics.

Money quotes:

“There are more obese people in the world now, than mal nurished people, by 30%.”

 and

 “We have an epidemic of obese 6-month olds.”

For more information he mentions the following papers at the end of his talk:

Fructose: metabolic, hedonic, and societal parallels with ethanol.
The role of fructose in the pathogenesis of NAFLD and the metabolic syndrome.

I am really looking forward to his upcoming book “Fat Chance: Gambling on our personal and public health”,

Here again is Sugar: The Bitter Truth in case you have not yet watched it.
