Worth the 90 Minutes

via MetaFilter: Sugar: The Bitter Truth is a 90 lecture from Robert H. Lustig from UCSF as part of their "Mini Medical School for the Public" which looks like an amazing resource in itself (iTunes feed).

You're probably already are aware that despite increasing trends to reduce fat in our diets, the obesity epidemic grows further. You're probably also aware that decreased fat content processed food tastes like cardboard and is loaded with suger to keep the flavour going. That sugar is jam packed with fructose, a chronic poison akin to alcohol, as is discussed in this talk, and that is why you're fat. Everybody needs to watch this lecture and understand it. You'll never want to eat High Fructose Corn Syrup again.
