Richard Johnson, MD: We Are In An Epidemic of Obesity and Diabetes #shorts #doctor
A short talk by Richard Johnson, MD, asserting that obesity and diabetes have risen from being rare around 1900 to very common today. He gives historical prevalence figures (diabetes ~1/50,000 in 1900 to ~1/8–1/12 today; obesity from ~3% to >33%) and introduces the classic Joslin thermodynamic hypothesis (1920s) that excess calorie intake drives obesity.
