SUMMARY:The Nutritional Ecology of Human Obesity
DESCRIPTION:The question I will address in this seminar is “Why is it tha
 t our species\, with unprecedented privilege in terms of science and techn
 ology\, so commonly fails in something as fundamental as eating a healthy 
 diet\, whereas other species succeed using raw biology alone?” In this s
 eminar I will use examples from my own research examining the mechanisms o
 f diet selection in non-human animals\, both in the lab and the wild. This
  work shows that the key to healthy eating in species as diverse as insect
 s to apes is nutrient specific appetites which interact to ensure that the
  diet is sufficient and balanced with respect to current requirements. I t
 hen demonstrate how understanding the dynamics of nutrient specific appeti
 tes has led to a new theory of human obesity\, the Protein Leverage Hypoth
 esis\, and present research testing this hypothesis. Results suggest that 
 humans too have nutrient-specific appetites and\, paradoxically\, the appe
 tite for protein\, not fats and carbohydrates\, is most closely associated
  with energy over-consumption and obesity.\n\n \n\nAbstract
