Sugar = not good


Hello folks!

A friend of mine posted this Youtube video on Facebook. She is a vegan and she is very concerned about the problems related to health, environment (we all should!). Last year, she did a presentation on overfishing, just to give you an example. Anyway, this video will explain you why sugar is “a threat to us”.

Most of us are not doctors and this presentation may go into detail and use the medical jargon sometimes, but the main idea is definitely understandable.

The man who is presenting is Dr. Robert H. Lustig, professor of Clinical Pediatrics at the University of California, San Francisco, but is also a pediatric endocrinologist. Now, you may wonder, my fellow linguists, what on earth is pediatric endocrinology? Well, it’s basically “ a subspecialty dealing with variations of physical growth and sexual development in childhood”.


If you like coke and that kind of drinks, you better drink one before watching this video, because afterwards, I’m not sure you will still feel like it…
