Robert Lustig, MD: Fat Chance

www.cyacyl.com www.joanherrmann.com In the late 1970s when the government mandated we get the fat out of our food, the food industry responded by pouring more sugar in. The result has been a perfect storm, disastrously altering our biochemistry and driving our eating habits out of our control. To help us lose weight and recover our health, Dr. Robert Lustig presents personal strategies to readjust the key hormones that regulate hunger, reward, and stress. He explains which foods are the problem, and which ones are the solution. Dr. Lustig has spent the past 16 years treating childhood obesity and studying the effects of sugar on the central nervous system and metabolism. According to Dr. Lustig, A calorie burned IS a calorie burned, but a calorie eaten IS NOT a calorie eaten. And therein lies the key to understanding the obesity pandemic.
