  • interesting info, looking through historical perspective

  • This is great complement to the Lustig lecture. Don't know why it doesn't have more views. Though I'm sure she'd probably disagree with her colleague that sugar has proven to be the primary cause of metabolic disorder, the evidence she presents here is compatible with that thesis.

    Don't know why this doesn't have more views.

  • when she said that teenagers is not really interested in the insulin receptor and stuff..I was thinking am i the only teenager who watched this, feel interested and actually watch the whole thing? ( btw i'm not overweight )

  • The main culprit for why diets fail, in that many diets don't provide the satiety necessary for people to stay on it for a long time. That is why people on low fat/low protein diets (i.e. the Ornish diet and the diets promoted by the AMA and ADA) fail, because those diets are restricting the two things - namely fat and protein - which produce the greatest satiating effect. Conversely low carb diets allow for generous amounts of both fat/protein, thus more people stick with it.
