My first lecture on the big international stage

This was a bit scary but a lot of fun. I’d say the talk was very well received. A big thanks to Jimmy Moore who actually gave me his speaking spot a year ago.
During the Q&A none other than professor Robert Lustig was the first one to step up to the microphone. He basically agreed with everything, but wondered if removing most of the sugar and adding more fiber to the diet would not be enough. This to avoid being “extreme”.
We also agreed that it is not clear yet if such an approach would be as effective for weight loss and blood sugar control. My guess is that it would not. A modest change = modest results.
Later I spoke to none other than Boyd Eaton, the godfather of the Paleo movement and the first speaker on the conference. He liked my lecture a lot. I may have dreamed, but I think I heard him call it “the top talk of the conference”. Probably a dream.
PS
The lecture was recorded on video and I will upload it to YouTube when I am back in Sweden.
Thanks again,
Lars
Yes, I'm always amused by the apologists who, rather than accepting the truth, want to keep one foot in the past. You are way nicer than I am when it comes to speaking with them, I'm sure.
Likely earlier but I'm more versed in the history of hucksterism than of vegetarianism.
Bye the way: I like your blog!
Hope you had a nice reunion! Hopefully the next AHS will be as least as great, no repeats of high school reunions though.
Gary,
Regarding Lustig I loved his presentation – to me his lecture was number one. Certainly removing excess sugar would be a potentially enormous first step toward healthier diets.
Amy,
That's the goal. To make the complicated easy to understand. A hard thing to do sometimes, but necessary if we are to make millions of people realize the mistakes behind the low fat dietary advice.
Aiiight! Thanks, I really appreciated the opportunity.
I also thought your presentation was the best! Really impressed my medical school daughter!
It's great being able to study the slides of the presentations at slideshare.net/ancestralhealth
But Diet Doc's are still missing from the list.
And still no official video's online and no explanation for the delay.
First to arrive.
Robert Lustig, MD - The trouble with fructose: a Darwinian perspective
You'll need to have the slides available from slideshare as he talks.
Slides not available on Slideshare as yet.
They would help as he talks so fast it's a job for my brain to keep up with what he's saying, maybe if I saw the slides at the same time I'd do better.
I found with the Lustig talk the slides on slideshare caused the system to crash.
I solved it by listening to Lustig on the PC while watching the slides on on my laptop.
It would help synchronisation if the speakers notes on slideshare were changed so it's possible to know what time in the talk the slide was shown.
My preference would be posting the presentations on a site that presents the video and slides side by side, synced and annotated.

Your talk was, indeed, one of - if not the - best! Well done!! I'm glad I got to hear it.
Heard your interview on Robert K. Su's podcast the other day.
Good stuff!
Also noticed you did a poster at AHS11, is it available online?
I would have really liked to see you talk at the AHS. Maybe at AHS12?
We need more expertise, like yours, on the subject of a sustainable _and_ healthy food supply.
Keep up the good work!
