In the war on sugar, Dr. Robert Lustig is a general leading his medical colleagues into battle. The neuroendocrinologist is the public face of the anti-sugar movement, appearing on 60 Minutes and National Public Radio and in the pages of countless newspapers and magazines to make the case that sugar in processed foods is the leading cause of the obesity crisis. This year he added a new line to his resume: law student.
Lustig was one of 12 medical professionals in the inaugural class of the Master of Studies in Law program at the University of California Hastings College of the Law, a yearlong program designed to give nonlawyers a foundation in the law without actually prepping them to practice. The program, a partnership with the University of California, San Francisco, was launched last fall with a goal of informing medical professionals’ research and other goals.
