About This Book

Nature Wants Us to Be Fat explores the evolutionary biology behind obesity, specifically focusing on the discovery of a 'survival switch' triggered by fructose. Dr. Richard Johnson explains how this metabolic pathway, originally designed to protect animals from starvation, is now a primary driver of modern health issues like diabetes and heart disease.
