Description

In this inverview, Gary Taubes takes on Big Sugar, breaks down the sharp rise of obesity and diabetes in America, and busts the common myth that a calorie is just a calorie. It seems that nowadays, aside from religion and politics, one of the most hotly debated topics is that of nutrition. Should we eat high-carb diets? Low-carb? High-fat? High-protein? What about wheat or gluten? Should we eat meat or adopt a vegan diet? There are as many opinions as there are people — and books, magazines, and websites are overflowing with information showing you the “right” way to eat and exercise to lose weight. But if “eating less and moving more” is all it takes to lose weight and enjoy a healthy lifestyle, why are so many of us fat and getting fatter? In today’s episode, I chat with Gary Taubes, bestselling author of three books, The Case Against Sugar (2016), Why We Get Fat and What to Do About It (2011), and Good Calories, Bad Calories (2007).

Very compelling.
Clearly onesided.
I recommend to read: https://knowledgepicker.com/r/1430/bad-sugar-or-bad-journalism-an-expert-review-of-the-case-against-sugar. to get some counterarguments, so one can better contemplate about facts and their implications.
