Summary
Why do modern Americans eat so much sugar, and to what effect? This Medical Center Hour offers dual perspectives on the sweet stuff, what it does to/in us, and its many meanings in history and for health. UVA historian David Singerman and UVA physician Jennifer Kirby examine sugar’s impact on the body—past and present, historically, socially, physiologically, and nutritionally.
