Please take the time to watch the above lecture. Here Robert H. Lustig, MD and UCSF Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology tells a story that fully captures the entanglement of politics, economics, science, American history and food. You will get a historical sense of why the US and Canada moved towards the low fat and high carb diet as well a thorough explanation of the differences between fructose, glucose, sucrose and lactose. Particularly scary is the US food program directed towards inner city kids where kids are served up ridiculous levels of high fructose corn syrup in their fruit drinks.
