Is a Calorie Just a Calorie?

[Guest guest]

I know we have had extensive discussion on this board about caloric intake and

weight gain. The question is . . . " Do calories taken in, minus calories

expended out = weight gain " ?

Dr. Lustig, Dept. of Pediatrics in Endocrinology at UCSF puts this

question to rest with compelling research. A calorie is NOT just a calorie.

Metabolic syndrome is on the rise (which includes diabetes, obesity,

hypertension, etc.) - watch this presentation through to the end and you will

find out why.

The presentation is 1.5 hours long and well worth the watch for all of us who

are trying to gain our health back.
