    Technically, that's TEDx.
    I scrutinize things a little harder when they're TEDx. TEDx hosted at least one person who claimed GMOs are causing children's allergies because of her mama senses and because children's food allergies have gone up since GMOs (with no explanation for the rises before GMOs).

    Though what I'm seeing so far and based on Googleing him, this talk is legit.

    Yeah, TedX has had a huge problem with snake oil salesmen touting pseudoscience.

    This one seems pretty good so far, though.

    Haha, he said do do.

    Thanks for the share. While I've read and understood the concept for some time now it was really great to see it in such a fun and easy to understand video. How different our generations weight and health would be if Bill Nye had just done one episode on this subject :P

    That's super cool. I did know the answer but having all that detail into the process makes the knowledge more meaningful. Thanks for sharing.

    TEDx also hosted a talk by pyramidiot Graham Hancock. That's a big black mark in my book.

    But this talk was awesome! Thanks, OP!
