A short excerpt from a YouTube conversation where the speaker contrasts two explanations for diet-driven obesity: the insulin/glucose (starch) hypothesis popularized by Gary Taubes versus a fructose-driven, low-cellular-energy mechanism proposed by the speaker's group. The speaker raises the question whether glucose/starch-driven insulin or fructose-induced low energy (or both) better explains why starchy foods like french fries promote obesity.
