In the video below, Drs. Robert Lustig, Laura Schmidt, and Claire Brindis of UC San Francisco attempt to make the case that sugar is toxic and should be controlled much like alcohol and tobacco.
This is a five-minute encapsulation of the current thinking from the academic wing of the food police: The world is fat. Personal responsibility is out. Taxation and control are in.
Right at the beginning, Dr. Lustig says in all seriousness, “We are in the midst of the biggest public health crisis in the history of the world.” Ummm ... really? Bigger than the bubonic plague that wiped out half of 14th-century Europe? LOL, dude!
