Ep25 Robert Lustig and Fat Emperor - The Bottom Line on Processed Food Toxicity
Needs no Introduction - the great Professor Robert Lustig on the real problems that we face in chronic disease (hint: it ain't "cholesterol").

Sugar, refined carb and seed oils: the "unholy trinity" that sits at the processed-food center of modern chronic disease!
Recorded in London at the PHCUK annual conference in the College of General Practitioners.
