Dr. Robert Lustig talks about three reasons why fructose is more detrimental to obesity and metabolic disease than glucose. Learn how fructose is metabolized differently in the liver and why it overwhelms mitochondria. Find out how it leads to de novo lipogenesis and the formation of harmful triglycerides.

Nick talks to Elizabeth Hobson, PhD, whose lab studies the evolution of decision-making, social cognition, social networks, and dominance hierarchies using a combination of naturalistic field observations of animal behavior plus computational modeling and network analysis. They discuss social behavior in animals, including when and why members of a group display aggression, how animal dominance hierarchies form and change, and how changes in the environment can cause sudden “tipping points” where group behavior suddenly changes. We also discussed whether human societies may be near tipping points today, and how changes due to COVID have impacted remote learning.
