Gary Taubes, author of the bestselling book Good Calories, Bad Calories, gave a lecture at the University of California at Berkeley in late November 2007 entitled The Quality of Calories: What Makes Us Fat and Why Nobody Seems to Care.
The lecture is now available for viewing online by clicking the title of the lecture above.
If you haven’t taken a look at his book or you’re having a hard time finding time to get through all it’s depth, this lecture is a tremendous introduction to Gary’s message.
The lecture is 1 hour and 49 minutes long. You’ll need the Real Player plug-in to view it.
This is a Must See video for those wanting to understand more about recent diet theory history. You’ll need to sit through more sophisticated science than I’m capable of understanding or explaining from about 1/2 way through to 3/4 of the way through, but I think it’s well worth sitting through it so you get the gist of the fundamental questions Gary is asking.
