Sugar is addictive, toxic and everywhere. Find out how your sweet tooth might be nibbling you to death in this straight-talking exposé.
‘Fat Chance’, documents the science and the politics that has led to the pandemic of metabolic syndrome – which results in conditions like obesity, diabetes and heart disease. Dr Robert Lustig exposes how changes in the food industry and in our wider environment have affected our collective metabolisms and our waistlines, and he shows how industry and political forces, motivated by greed, don’t want things to change.
To help us lose weight and recover our health, Lustig presents personal strategies to readjust the key hormones that regulate hunger and reward and suggests societal strategies to improve the health of the next generation. Discover how every calorie is different and that cutting out sugar is not just about making us thin – it’s about making us healthier, happier and smarter.

    Whether one builds a strong or weak foundation in childhood is a great determinant of later health and eating patterns. Thus, childhood stress increases the risk of obesity during adolescence and adulthood

      Some of the factors associated with lower thresholds for stress and higher “cortisol reactivity” are low socioeconomic status, job stress, being female, scoring high in dietary restraint (a measure of chronic dieting), and an overall lack of power and confidence. Taking three buses to get anywhere, working two or more jobs, figuring out how to put food on the table, and not knowing whether you will be able to pay the rent—all significantly affect not just your state of mind but also your physiological state. And if you are not Caucasian, the stresses associated with racism will double these health effects. African Americans and Latinos suffer from higher mortality rates of nearly every disease than their white counterparts. While there are certainly genetic influences, stress plays a major role in health disparities among the races

        Coincident with the rise in obesity throughout our society is an increased prevalence and severity of psychological stress.1 Two mechanisms by which stress leads to obesity are stress-induced eating and stress-induced fat deposition.2 Both animals and humans have been documented to increase their food intake following stress or negative emotion, even if the organism is not hungry. Further, the type of food eaten tends to be high in sugar, fat, or both. There’s a load of evidence that humans are more stressed today than we were thirty years ago, which correlates directly with the expansion of our waistlines.
