In his new book, Gary Taubes argues that the abundance of sugar in the western diet is the root cause of many health problems faced around the world. He suggests that the best way to prevent health problems like diabetes and obesity is a high-fat, low-carb diet. Today we'll discuss "The Case Against Sugar," the ethics of biospecimen research and how anti-inflammatory diets can prevent bone loss in women.
