This is a link to a university of California video that is very informative. I'd also suggest watching the other six (very short) episodes. It discusses sugar and how fructose, from sucrose and from things likes high fructose corn syrup, acts just like ethanol in your body, causing damage to your organs and speeding up the aging process. There are a lot of other very, very interesting videos on the uctv website. If you click on health topics and then click on obesity, you will learn so much about nutrition-related stuff you won't know what to do with yourself.

Dr Lustig is a crackpot. Bad bad science.
He actually says "Sugar is both fat and carbohydrate at the same time."
:laugh: :huh:
"coconut, olives, avocados ... have no carbohydrates" :noway: :huh:0 -
Another one that is good is "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" by Robert Lustig. A bit long but worth watching.0
