Robert Lustig: Processed food consumption is a known factor in causing weight gain #obesity #shorts
Short YouTube clip featuring Robert Lustig arguing that ultra-processed food (especially sugar) promotes overeating and weight gain by being addictive, challenging calorie-only models of obesity. He cites counterpoints and complexities: historical increases in BMI at given caloric intake (1988→2006), developmental programming (in utero effects), defended body weight set point undermining simple calorie explanations, and exercise producing fat loss but also muscle gain so net weight change is not straightforward.
