More about the talk:

Culturally, Americans have come to associate foods high in sugar with negative health outcomes and disease states. Born of this is the idea that people who consume high amounts of sugar are willfully damaging their bodies. As a result, we have drawn a direct correlation between body size, health, and sugar consumption. But what if there's more to the story? In this presentation, we will dig below the surface of these ideas and talk about sugar's role in energy maintenance. We'll also discuss social determinants of health influencing food choice, all through the lens of Buddy the Elf.
