Episode 5: Robert Lustig, Metabolical

Send us a text


Join Professor Jeffrey Sachs and New York Times-bestselling
author Dr. Robert Lustig for their discussion of Metabolical: The
Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern
Medicine, Dr. Lustig's newest book about the interconnected
strands of nutrition, health/disease, medicine, environment, and
society.
Together, they discuss the relationship between nutrition and
non-communicable disease, the dangers of processed foods, and the
ways in which the entrenched interests of Big Food, Big Pharma,
and Big Government influence our current healthcare paradigm.
