Sickeningly Sweet

Video Link --> Sickeningly Sweet   (Episode 2)

(Visit: http://www.uctv.tv/prime/)

This is the second episode of the series The Skinny on Obesity from UCTV.  In this episode Dr. Robert Lustig illustrates the overabundance of sugar in today's processed convenience foods and explains how our bodies metabolize these sugars in the same way as alcohol or other toxins, causing damage to the liver and other organs. 

I have previously posted about the current obsession with labeling sugar as evil.  This episode explains very well the differences in glucose and fructose and the problems with our modern food industry's obsession with putting fructose in nearly every food it sells to us.
