This is a very interesting and at times, technical explanation of how low fat diets have created a more obese population. At the end of the talk, you will understand how fructose and low fiber consumption are contributing to obesity. Warning: the talk is 90 minutes long but well worth it!
"Robert H. Lustig, MD, UCSF Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology, explores the damage caused by sugary foods. He argues that fructose (too much) and fiber (not enough) appear to be cornerstones of the obesity epidemic through their effects on insulin.
