Calories? Why are we obsessed with them?
The thing is, you just can’t escape the vilification of calories. It’s everywhere! The latest Diet Coke commercial talks about not having to worry because there are zero calories in the can. It doesn’t say anything about the artificial sweeteners or lack of nutrients.
It fascinates me that a biochemistry lecture from the University of California (University of California Television (UCTV)) back in 2009 went viral. How can a biochemistry lecture ever go viral? Well, perhaps the truth was in the controversial title- Sugar: The Bitter Truth which basically aimed to prove that sugar is a toxin. It’s sugar that we need to worry about- not calories.
The problem is, sugar is in everything, and people are getting pretty fed up with scientists telling us we need to avoid yet another thing.
