Is Sugar A Toxin? Dr. Robert Lustig

[mother earth]

34. MO's "Let's Move" campaign was about exercising, her issue and one she has spoken about

and the whole "Let's Move" campaign, started as her also wanting better labeling and getting food co.'s to decrease sugar in food products.

It would be nice if you read some of the links or listened to the interview, it's a good starting point BEFORE entering discussion.

If your issue is the OP is about a doctor selling a book, have at it. No, we are not going to solve a problem by educating ourselves or the public about sugar, but we just might get a handle on why we are dealing with obesity and related disease at levels that were far lower prior to the advent of processed foods inundating the marketplace.

I don't declare, nor would I deem the author does, an individual chemical as the only culprit, it's one of many. If you listened to the interview, you would know he started out as a pediatrician who was constantly dealing with obesity in children. That's a very young age to be struggling with obesity. This problem is far greater than it has been in the past, it's really very important to understand ALL underlying causes.

I commend Michelle Obama for attempting it, despite the constant BS she's had to deal with, along with the ridiculous criticism of her efforts. I don't recall that she has any books to sell, but I'd be willing to bet she's in agreement with this doctor's take. That's my take on the subject. Thanks for yours.
