Azúcar: amigo o enemigo

from Medicina con Evidencia

El azúcar no es veneno. Tampoco es inocente. Y la discusión publica lleva décadas atrapada entre esos dos extremos. En este episodio: la distinción que realmente importa (no es simple vs. complejo), la evidencia sobre obesidad, diabetes y enfermedad cardiovascular, y la historia documentada de como la industria azucarera manipulo la ciencia durante décadas. Mas las tres distinciones prácticas para tomar decisiones sin caer en ningún extremo. Este contenido es educativo y no sustituye una consulta médica. Este podcast es producido por Julio Delgado.
