Click here to watch the full video: Robert Lustig on Fatty Liver, Sugar, Metabolic Syndrome, Ozempic

Dr. Ana Najafi interviewing Professor Robert Lustig on the topics related to metabolic health, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), medication, and the impact of diet on various aspects of health.
Dr. Lustig's discussion covered various aspects of metabolic health, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), medication, and the impact of diet on health. Here's a brief summary of this interview:
Dr. Lustig explained that NAFLD, characterized by liver fat accumulation, is primarily caused by factors like sugar, alcohol, and stress. Some obese individuals can remain metabolically healthy due to maintained insulin sensitivity, with subcutaneous fat being protective.
Genetic factors, such as PNPLA3 and SLC16A11 polymorphisms, can influence NAFLD risk. Diet plays a significant role in metabolism, with environmental obesogens in food additives and packaging contributing to obesity.
Key biomarkers like fasting insulin, uric acid, ALT, and triglycerides can help detect early metabolic dysfunction. Medications like Ozempic can aid weight loss but may have side effects and should be used cautiously.
Vitamin E deficiency is linked to metabolic issues, and supplementation can be beneficial. Sugar and ultra-processed foods can harm gut health, potentially leading to food allergies and autoimmune diseases.
Dr. Lustig emphasized the connection between sugar consumption, brain reward centers, and mental health issues. Dietary trends show an increase in food allergies, likely due to disruptions in gut health caused by modern diets and processed foods.
In summary, the discussion underscores the critical role of diet and lifestyle in metabolic health, the potential risks and benefits of medications, and the importance of monitoring biomarkers for early detection of metabolic issues.

I usually eat low carb / keto. But one day I happened to have a few slices of cake out a cheesecake factory (at a b day party) and then I got blood tests the next day for something. My ALT, AST was in the 200 range. My doctor freaked out. I ended up having an ultrasound of the liver - it was fine. I had it retested to make sure it wasn't a fluke. It wasn't but within a week I was back to normal numbers. Consider the damage that is done to your liver by sugar foods -- and you have no idea. IMHO this is proof that if you don't bake the cake yourself you have NO idea how much sugar they threw in there and how much damage you are doing.

[@minkymandy6065]

Wow!

[@tamashumi7961]

I'd think that being low carb and then eating something like a cake out of a sudden would have a higher impact as your whole system tolerance is low to what's coming out of the sudden. You wouldn't even have the carb thriving gut biom in sufficient volume to take part of the hit as it's been starved, thus small in population.

Really appreciate Dr. Lustig's work! Minor feedback, lactose intolerance is not a disease and really shouldn't be discussed as one. Most people are lactose intolerant after breastfeeding ends. Framing it as a disease makes it seem like these people, who are mainly from non-European communities, are abnormal.

[@vtheb1299]

Yes and many Europeans also have it without knowing. I think the reason for not knowing is that we don't have that culture of chugging milk like in North America. For example people in Europe drink much more espresso rather than venti lattes etc. And fermented milk-based products like yoghurt and cheese have much less lactose so you can be intolerant and not know it because you eat cheese without consequences (also European pizza is not drowning in cheese like in North America). This happened to me I was tested in my 40s and discovered that I'm intolerant. But I've never liked milk in my life and when I researched I realized that the cheeses I like have negligible amounts of lactose. I read somewhere that more than 50% of French are estimated to be lactose intolerant and many simply don't know it for the same reason I didn't. Sadly, because of the misconception that Europeans don't have it (it's actually only Nordic ones), the rest of my family live in denial and refuse to get tested.

[@beginner1991]

I do not agree with his anti-meat stance. He calls meat as part of a bad diet and then later avoids to call it good around the vitamin e topic, calls it animal-based foods. You can really see he wants to avoid saying "meat". Makes me wonder why? Some hidden agenda? Don't get me wrong, Dr.Lustig with his infamous viral talk is what brought me in the space but he seems to turn a blind eye to some obvious co-founding factors. Vitamin E topic is also completely missing the important issue that Vitamin E is 2 classes of different compounds, tocopherols and tocotrienols. The later, delta-tocotrienol is the most potent anti-oxidant of the family and has proven protective effects against certain cancers. The critical part is that tocopherols and tocotrienols share the same transporter in the intestines and that transporter strongly prefers tocopherols of all kinds. So if you supplement with cheap Vitamin E, which is dl-alpha tocopherol (racemic mixture, half of it is inactive in human body), you prevent absorption of the more potent tocotrienols which then leads to negative effects (increased risk of prostate cancer for example). cheap Vitamin E is indeed bad because if this. However what is very good is supplementing with mixed or better delta-tocotrieonls. They are rarer and more potent. The devil lies in the details. And here the details about the whole fructose story is: - mice and rats aren't humans and they do have pretty different metabolisms (which I get exposed to in chemical industry quiet often as chemicals might be bad for rats but safe for humans) - He completely ignores the seed oils / omgea-6 angle. none of his studies controls for it. He should repeat the child/teenager study adding a low pufa, low fructose and low pufa high fructose group. I'm pretty sure the low PUFA, high fructose (eg as high as in normal SAD) will fare a lot better than a normal SAD (high pufa, high fructose). The study must then also strivtly control the source of fructose to table sugar (see below) - While table sugar and HFCS are technical pretty much the same, it's becoming clear that HFCS is much more than just glucose and fructose but has a lot more calories than on the label from left-over corn-starch in the syrup. This adds more calories but worse these left-over starch leads to increased inflammation. Took me a while too to realize this that HFCS is indeed worse than sugar but it also depends on the quality of the HFCS batch which varies. So HFCS must be avoided in such a study as it would make fructose/sugar look worse than it is.

I agree about the seed oils. Would like to see more research on that (not epidemiology)

He seems reliable. He studies one thing at a time so he can isolate that component. If you look at some of his other videos he discusses Omega-3:Omega-6 ratio problems in some detail. This was a short teaser interview at his workplace to announce other talks he has planned and given. Look at the publishers channel and you are spoilt for choice and information.

I wish someone asked him NEW questions, they interview him for the views and likes and they all ask the same questions over and over again, Prof Lustig must be tired of talking about the same all the time.

The more he talks about the same topics the more everyone learns. Our next interview will be focused what food to eat and what food to avoid.. also what blood marker we should be focused on

I was adopted as was my older brother. We just found each other. Our birth mom was a very overweight and both of us are overweight. He was sick last year, lost 80 lbs. and within a few months he gained his usual. weight back. We are Nordic people, and I guess that cold winter weather for generations, would mean people would need an extra layer of fat to survive

forgot to mention, neither one of us is diabetic.

Wonderful interview thanks Dr Najafi & Prof Lustig. Hope I look as happy and healthy as the 66 yo Prof, in time. 😅 Just saw the photo of him on wiki. He looks barely unchanged 10 years later, lighter hair colour. Read Metabolical, so here's hoping.
