What's Making People So Fat? - DemystifyPod #258

Dr. Barbara Corkey is an Emeritus Professor of Medicine and
Biochemistry at Boston University. Over her prolific and
outstanding academic career she went deep into the mechanics of
metabolic disease. Along the way, she stumbled upon some shocking
insight about the nature of obesity as she watched the epidemic
unfold in real time. Despite the popular wisdom that weight gain
is a simple matter of calories in v. calories out, Dr. Corkey
came to understanad that there was a sea of environmental toxins
wreaking havoc on our food supply which seemed to influence
weight outcomes more than anything else. Her revelations reach
into every aspect of the food supply and the organization of our
modern civilization. What do you make of it? Tell us your
