The miracle that once helped humans survive has turned into a curse and America's #1 health obsession - fat. Using case studies and the latest research and statistics, this program provides a well-balanced understanding of what fat is and how the human body is engineered to use it. Nutritionists and health experts discuss the overriding physiological reasons why diets fail. Obesity researchers at Columbia and Rockefeller Universities explain the genetic basis for normal and abnormal body weight, while surgeons illustrate the life-saving potential of gastric bypass surgery for the morbidly obese.
