Is sugar really to blame for the obesity epidemic? In this episode, I break down one of the most common nutrition myths. Using evidence from epidemiology, randomized controlled trials, and meta-analyses, Layne explains why sugar and high fructose corn syrup aren’t the independent culprits they’re often made out to be. Instead, he reveals what the research actually says about calories, metabolism, and how oversimplified narratives mislead the public. If you’ve ever been told “sugar is poison,” this episode will challenge your perspective with science, not fear.
