What is the Cause of Obesity?
How “Logic” Can Lead One Astray
In this presentation, Dr. Richard Johnson explored why obesity and related conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and Alzheimer’s have surged since the late 19th century. He argues that traditional calorie-centric views overlook the deeper evolutionary and biochemical drivers of these diseases. Drawing on animal studies and historical trends, he shows how humans, like hibernating bears or migrating birds, are wired to store fat in response to environmental cues. In nature, fructose signals animals to overeat and conserve energy before periods of scarcity, but in today’s world of constant sugar availability—especially from processed foods and high-fructose corn syrup—this ancient survival mechanism has become maladaptive.

Productive Application of Force
The actual goal when seeking strength
Strength, when viewed in isolation, can be described as the contractile potential of muscle—the ability of muscles to contract forcefully and generate power. Yet, as Coach Glassman points out in this lecture excerpt, that definition is incomplete. Measuring strength only in this narrow sense reveals little about its practical value in real-world performance, much like relying solely on VO₂ max says little about a person’s true capacity or athleticism.

The Ripple Effect of Fraudulent Science
Regulatory policy rooted in a historic lab misrepresentation
For over 50 years, U.S. chemical and radiation regulations have been founded on a flawed interpretation of data from a 1950s Oak Ridge National Laboratory study, which misrepresented control-group mutation rates and led to widespread overestimation of cancer risks. Although whistleblower Paul Selby and historian Ed Cala

Payments to Peer Reviewers of Major Medical Journals
JAMA report on drug and medical device manufacturers funding peer reviewers
Between 2020 and 2022, 1,155 of 1,962 U.S. physician peer reviewers (58.9%) for four leading medical journals (BMJ, JAMA, The Lancet, NEJM) received a combined $1.06 billion in payments from drug and medical device manufacturers. The vast majority of this ($1 billion, 94%) was for research support, while about $64 million covered general payments such as consulting and speaking fees. The authors highlight the lack of disclosure policies for reviewers and call for greater transparency in peer review conflicts.
