Via \., read the transcript of this ABC radio show and see what you think.

In a nutshell, Lestig claims (with experimental evidence) that insulin causes obesity, and reducing a person's insulin levels fixes the problem by making them eat less and, feel better, and want to exercise. He also speaks about how fructose is a big part of the problem.

Dr Robert Lustig is Professor of Pediatric Endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco.

Fascinating reading.

It shouldn't really surprise me that the food companies would do this, or that they would lobby against efforts to regulate fructose and sugar content.

I am going to pay a lot more attention to the sugar content of the food we get, especially for the kids.
