The Skinny on Obesity 1: An Epidemic for Every Body

 

How did we get so fat, so fast? The debut episode of this 7-part series debunks the theory that obesity only affects the «gluttons and sloths» among us and is, in fact, a public health problem that impacts everyone. Series: «UCTV Prime: The Skinny on Obesity».

Dr Robert Lustig stiller spørsmålet; «Hvordan har hele verden blitt så fete, så fort? Har alle blitt sløve og late?»

Grunnen til denne pandemien kan sammenfattes med et utsagn: «En kalori er en kalori». Dette er det første vi lærer oss. Spiser man mer en man forbrenner blir man fet, spiser man mindre enn man forbrenner blir man tynn. Teorien er klar spis mindre løp mer. Men slik fungerer det ikke og grunnen til det er at: «En kalori ikke er en kalori»!
