Daryl, thank you for the link. It was very interesting and informative.

Bo

You're welcome, Bo, glad you liked it.

I recommend that anyone who is interested in the subject invest the time in the lecture. Gary is a really good lecturer and his material really crystallized my understanding of his book. He mostly addresses the case of obesity but he does go into more detail than the book.

One hour 45 minutes. But a very good lecture. At the end he counted 8 "converts" in what sounded like a pretty big crowd. Not bad, considering it is Berkeley...

UC Berkeley is one of the best state universities in this country and its graduate programs consistently rank in the top ten for most disciplines.

I think the comment above "considering it's Berkeley" refers to the political climate, the pro-vegan, "anti-capitalistic, over-consumer of resources" attitudes of Berkeley, not the quality of the university or the minds that attend. I am a UC Berkeley law graduate, love Berkeley, love the Bay Area but obsolutely know that the "politically correct" stance in Berkeley is anti-meat. So I guess i would be mildly heartened by 8 people changing their minds in Berkeley. Mildly.

I watched the whole lecture. Thank you so much for posting the link. I wish I understood the science better. I wish that I could articulate the science at all!

Well remember that not everyone raised their hands. I'm sure that the idea will work it's way into some minds. Especially with the lecture available to be downloaded, and thus to be seen again.

I found a link over in the Triple Digits Club forum to a lecture Taubes gave at Univ. of California Berkeley. It's quite long, extensive, with slides and well worth a watch. Here's the link

Check it out!

I really want to watch this, but its early and I have to go to work. Do you need real player to view it?

Yeah, it's in realplayer format. I've been watching this in dribs and drabs when I get the time. It's been pretty awesome so far! I've learned a bunch of things I didn't know before.

DH got me his book for Christmas, but I haven't started it yet because I have approximately 8000 library books checked out that I need to finish first.

Dr. Eades posted this awhile back and we had it here: http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthread.php?t=357238

Plane, you're like so 2 weeks ago!

Kallyn, get the book. You'll be stunned. The guy is an amazing writer.

Really slow day at work so I was able to watch the whole talk on my office computer. Compared to other times I've seen him on TV, he seemed perturbed. As if he's saying, WHY DON'T THEY GET IT???????????

At the end someone asked about fructose. Traubes response was fructose is taken up by the liver and converted into fat. I didn't know that. I assumed the liver could take six fructose (5 carbon) molecules and convert them into five glucose (6 carbon) molecules.
