The debate wages. Is a calorie just a calorie? Or is there something specifically dangerous about fructose and carbohydrate calories? To anyone who has experienced the benefits of a low carb lifestyle, the practical answer is obvious. But answering that question on a global scale and making meaningful changes to improve the health of millions of people is much more complex. That’s where Dr. Robert Lustig comes in. As a pediatric endocrinologist who is now armed with a law degree, Dr. Lustig has made it his mission to fight our health crisis on the legal and policy front. It won’t be easy, but after this interview, I for one am glad he the one leading the charge.
An interviewer should be sure all his terms used are explained…scientific jargon discourages non-science listeners.
Good point! I admit I tend to “geek out” and get carried away with the sciency stuff and can forget when I need better explanations. thanks for calling me out on this and keep on my case if it doesn’t improve!
