• La forma más sencilla de ver todas estas asociaciones, entre obesidad, cardiopatías, diabetes de tipo 2, síndrome metabólico, cáncer y Alzheimer (por no hablar de las otras afecciones que también se asocian a la obesidad y la diabetes, como la gota, el asma y la enfermedad del hígado graso), es que lo que nos hace engordar -la calidad y la cantidad de carbohidratos que consumimos- también nos enferma.

• There is a theory that creativity arises when individuals are out of sync with their environment. To put it simply, people who fit in with their communities have insufficient motivation to risk their psyches in creating something truly new, while those who are out of sync are driven by the constant need to prove their worth.

• What sets science and the law apart from religion is that nothing is expected to be taken on faith. We're encouraged to ask whether the evidence actually supports what we're being told - or what we grew up believing - and we're allowed to ask whether we're hearing all the evidence or just some small prejudicial part of it. If our beliefs aren't supported by the evidence, then we're encouraged to alter our beliefs.

• Just as animal research tells us that gluttony and sloth are side effects of a drive to accumulate body fat, it also says that eating in moderation and being physically active (literally, having the energy to exercise) are not evidence of moral rectitude. Rather, they're the metabolic benefits of a body that's programmed to remain lean.
