SUGAR: It's different than you think...


Now, I know a lot about sugar. Or, at least, I thought I did. This guy explains sugar (and it's connection to obesity) in a way that blew my socks off. It's a lot different than we all think. Think everything is just the law of thermodynamics (calories in vs. calories out= your body composition)? Or how about the commonly held belief that "if you eat it, you better burn it, or you'll store it"? Think fat is simply the result of 'gluttony' and 'sloth'?
Watch. And Learn.


Is Sugar Toxic? Fabulous article from the NY Times (refers to this video). Author Gary Taubes is also the author of "Good Calories. Bad Calories." and "Why We Get Fat" two books I highly recommend.
