The Skinny on Obesity
Post date: Jun 5, 2012 12:10:00 AM
The University of California San Francisco, under the direction of Dr. Robert Lustig, has recently created a series of short videos explaining the obesity epidemic. The series is called The Skinny on Obesity. They are a little "light on the the science", but very easy to watch. The links to the seven episodes, and two 'extras', are below. I think the series was conceived after the 90 minute ("heavy on the science") lecture on sugar by Dr. Lustig had over 2 million views on YouTube. I've posted a link to that one, too, and it's well worth watching.
Episode 1: An Epidemic for Every Body
Episode 2: Sickeningly Sweet
Episode 3: Hunger and Hormones: A Vicious Cycle
Episode 4: Sugar - A Sweet Addiction
Episode 5: Generation XL
Episode 6: A Fast-Paced, Fast Food Life
Episode 7: Drugs, Cigarettes, Alcohol ... and Sugar?
