Geiske de Ruig explains us about a new science: Glycobiology, the science of sugars. You musn't confuse these essential sugars with the sugars you put in your coffee or tea. These essential sugars are important for cells to communication with each other. Geiske even advocates the relation of our modern diet and shortage of sugars with the rapid growth of health issues. She will convince you to take control over your own health by adjusting your diet. Everyone can start today! About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.
