This is my tumblelog.
You might not think that a physician-delivered lecture would be interesting viewing, but I’m having trouble pulling myself away from this presentation from University of California, San Francisco’s Osher Center for Integrative Medicine, Sugar: The Bitter Truth. In the presentation, Dr. Robert H. Lustig argues that fructose – especially in the form of high-fructose corn syrup – is so bad for you that it should be classified as a poison; he also likens the way your body reacts to it as alcohol without the buzz.
I knew sugar and soft drinks were bad, which is why I tend to abstain from them, but this shines a whole new light on the matter.
Also viewable in nine 10-minute segments on YouTube, that can easily be watched spread across the course of a week.
