We have with us, Dr. Robert Lustig here today to help us set the record straight as a leading expert on metabolic health and nutrition.

He's on a mission to expose all the misinformation regarding food and diet-related disease. He believes if we don't fix our food and change the way we eat, chronic diseases will prevail. We will bankrupt their healthcare and threaten the future of our planet. 

Dr. Robert Lustig is a neuroendocrinologist with expertise in metabolism, obesity, and nutrition. He holds a bachelor's in science, from MIT, a doctorate in medicine from Cornell University, and a master of studies and law from UC Hastings College of Law, and is an emeritus professor of pediatrics in the division of endocrinology.

In addition, he's the chief science officer for the non-profit Eat Real. He's authored several popular books, including Fat Chance, and The Hacking of the American Mind: The Science Behind the Corporate Takeover of Our Bodies and Brains, and the just-released Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine.
