The Obesity Epidemic, Explained

Dr. Jason Fung explains how the 1977 dietary guidelines led to the obesity epidemic. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans changed the way Americans ate, advising us to eat more carbs and less fat to prevent heart disease, but this lead to weight gain. When we gained weight, we were then told it was our own fault. Check out my blog at   / drjasonfung
