FEATURED THIS MONTH
Sugar Highs & Lows
With obesity and diabetes rates on a startling climb, America is faced with the challenge of breaking its sugar addiction. As UCSF’s Dr. Robert Lustig made clear in his 2009 talk “Sugar: The Bitter Truth” — which became a viral sensation on YouTube — there’s a lot more sugar in our diets than we suspect, and it’s doing a lot more damage than previously thought.
Tune in for a new series of programs from the UCSF Center for Obesity Assessment, Study and Treatment (COAST) that provide a thorough, science-based look at just how much sugar is too much.
Searching for Democracy
What does our democracy require of us? What are our shared values? How do we define and create a common good?
