Summary

Today's episode of The Qualys is from podcast #14 – Robert Lustig, M.D., M.S.L.: fructose, processed food, NAFLD, and changing the food system.

The Qualys is a subscriber-exclusive podcast, released Tuesday through Friday, and published exclusively on our private, subscriber-only podcast feed. Qualys is short-hand for “qualifying round,” which are typically the fastest laps driven in a race car—done before the race to determine starting position on the grid for race day. The Qualys are short (i.e., “fast”), typically less than ten minutes, and highlight the best questions, topics, and tactics discussed on The Drive.

Occasionally, we will also release an episode on the main podcast feed for non-subscribers, which is what you are listening to now.

0:45.3	this, to be honest with you in the last few years, but is the food industry basically
0:48.4	still saying that while a can of Coke is not ever deemed even by Coca-Cola to be as
0:53.6	nutritious as a carrot, in the end, are they basically saying that all calories contribute
1:00.1	equally to adiposity and insulin resistance?
1:03.0	Yes.
1:04.0	They are all saying it's about obesity and therefore it's about energy balance, therefore

1:11.4	That's what they say.
1:12.4	It is absolutely not true.
