When Sharma is not practicing medicine, he’s conducting medical research on respiratory viruses, cooking various worldly dishes, traveling with his wife and two children, and loves (theoretically) putting pen to paper to scribe Op-eds, including for CNN.com. In this conversation Dr. Sharma talks about striking current statistics of childhood obesity and its relation to food advertising and public policy. He draws a parallel with evolution of policies and behaviors around smoking. Dr. Sharma talks about the importance fiber, explains the difference in the benefits between smoothies, juices and Chuice; talks about the concept of gut health and what defines it. https://chuice.com https://chuice.com/blogs/news/how-we-advertise-food-as-bad-as-those-old-cigarette-ads
