Gary Taubes’ excellent talk, “Calories vs. Carbohydrates: Clearing Up the Confusion Over Competing Paradigms of Obesity”, from the Ancestral Health Symposium 2012 (AHS12). Of particular interest to me is his discussion of the competing paradigms of obesity: the result of an individual’s failure to regulate consumption vs. a problem of adipose storage mechanisms. Well worth watching.

Note: If you have trouble with the video below, try viewing it here. It seems like there are some problems with hosting permissions that vimeo/AHS needs to work out.
