Hi, this is Dr. Mercola helping you take control of your health.

And today we are joined by Dr. Robert Lustig,

who has written a new book, The Hacking of the American Mind, and he will help

us understand how this process occurred.

perspective his legal view in this book. So welcome and thank you for joining us, Dr. Lustig.

Thank you for having me, Dr. Mercola.

Always a pleasure.

So I'm wondering if you can tell me what the motivation for writing this book was after your
