Resumen de Sugar's mortal enemy
O'Callaqhan features Robert Lustig's crusade against sugar. Lustig learned that far more fructose might be converted into liver fat than was previously thought. Having studied nutritional biochemistry before medical school, he kept coming back to the idea, thinking fructose might have some bearing on his work treating children with hormone disorders. It used to be that his patients came in for problems such as stunted growth, but increasingly, they were arriving with issues related to obesity. The shift surprised him. Lustig is proudly unencumbered by the niceties or arcane jargon that usually restrain researchers. He frequently refers to "big butt fat" and isn't shy about the term "couch potato".
