Speak to Me Presents

  Robert Lustig, M.D. - Fat Chance

     January 28, 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.

      Mill Valley Community Center 

 

A "calorie" is not just a "calorie," especially when it comes to the sweet elixir: sugar. Some argue that sugar can be equated to poison when over-injested, and that the food industry is largely responsible for our growing obesity epidemic. Join Speak to Me and Dr. Robert Lustig, M.D., -- UCSF Professor of Pediatrics and author of Fat Chance: Beating the Odds Against Sugar, Processed Food, Obesity and Disease -- for a fascinating discussion on how we can fight back, arrest our swelling bellies and keep future generations from going down the same dangerous path. Grab a girlfriend for an eye-opening evening, and check out Speak to Me's brand new Lunch and Learn series: informative, thought-provoking sessions over lunch. Learn, connect, relax and get inspired. Find tickets and details for both series online.
