Click Here for full video Robert Lustig, Everything You Knew About Obesity is Wrong!

Professor Lustig covered a wide range of topics in his talk. He began by blending politics and science, introducing agnotology, the study of science and ignorance, particularly its relevance in medicine and public health. He dove into the complexities of issues like obesity, dissecting the interplay between personal responsibility and the biochemical influences of our daily diet.
Lustig challenged conventional wisdom about obesity, asserting that it's not merely a matter of lack of control but a consequence of the food we consume. He explored the first law of thermodynamics, emphasizing the simple equation of calories in and calories out. The notion that all calories are equal and their impact on willpower became a focal point.
The professor raised thought-provoking questions about the responsibility individuals bear for becoming obese. He debunked common beliefs, insisting that everything we think we know about obesity is flawed. Lustig then shifted to a broader perspective, examining the intriguing decline in body temperature over the past 150 years and its connection to energy expenditure.
Addressing the global epidemic of obesity, Lustig highlighted its pervasive presence across age groups and countries. He challenged the oversimplified idea that obesity is solely about calorie intake, introducing the concept of metabolic syndrome affecting both obese and non-obese individuals.
He further discussed the intricate relationship between visceral and subcutaneous fat, Lustig explored the behavioral and biochemical factors at play. He posed crucial questions about the underlying causes of gluttony and sloth, pondering whether something toxic in our environment, food, or water contributes to these issues.
The talk expanded further into the realm of obesogens, reactive oxygen species, and the damaging effects of fructose and glucose on mitochondria. Professor Lustig provided a comprehensive exploration of these interconnected topics, unraveling the complexities of personal responsibility, public health, and the intricate biochemical web influencing our well-being.

I think you are overlooking the philosophical trap he has alluded to here. We all make choices and we value the freedom to make personal choices. With that comes the consequences of our choices. This is cold hard reality. Therein lies "personal responsibility". This concept is the entire predicate of the US Constitution despite it not being so stated. The idea that we don't have such responsibility of choice and need political intervention in lieu of, is how we end up with experimental vaccine mandates, lockdowns and absurd mask mandates. Be careful what you champion.

@@SilveradoShootingAcademy Whose freedom of choice was it to subject me and my family to Pthalates? I don't recall Dow Chemical, or their lobbyists, or my Congressional representatives asking me what my choice was. You speak of personal responsibility "predicated" in the Constitution, but you don't say a word about corporate responsibility. And you can't charge a corporation for a crime; you can only raise a civil complaint. At least the Covid vaccine was explained to me. The significance of "Paper or plastic?" or the truth of "better living through chemicals" was not.

If you are lied to, therefore 'ignorant' of the actual facts of how metabolism works and environmental toxins in EVERY processed food personal choice is NOT the problem. Did you know that EVERY canned food has a plastic lining on the inside of the can? TOXIC. I ate exactly what the AMA/ADA told me to. I gained 100lbs over the past 20 years and became diabetic with severe metabolic health probs. WHY? Because The AMA/ADA told me to eat 11 servings of gains, breads, pasta, and fruits DAILY. I kept a food log for my Dr. I worked out. That is the point!!! I was not eating donuts. I was vegan. I now eat only meat (carnivore) and my metabolic health is vastly improving. I cured my diabetes in 9 months. The creation of these problems was definitely NOT my fault. It was driven primarily by falsified research that became 'belief' and recommendations taught in medical schools and given to all public messaging from AMA.. Obesity and cancer/metabolic disease skyrocketed when they began pushing 'low fat' high carb diets. Dr. Lustig is correct. I proved it for myself. My doctor flipped out when I refused to take insulin and converted to a Carnivore/Metabolic Health regimen. He is now 1000% on board.

Judging by the comment section, there will be much difficulty with “ unlearning” the programmed tropes! When I taught research paper writing at the general education level, whenever a student proposed a health/medical topic, I would only approve it if they agreed to write it from both the individual and the public health perspectives. If anything drives changes to policy and regulation, it will be the unsustainable cost of medical treatments and loss of not only productivity of the workforce, but the rise in all-cause mortality of the workforce. Given the incredible political influence of corporations, it’s unpredictable when a tipping point will be reached…in the meantime, the drive for A.I. and robotics may very well be their hedge against the inevitable crisis. And yes, it is that despicable, when number crunching is about risk assessments for profit and loss

An obese person who has increased their weight by 100% have to heat a body twice as big. No wonder as we get heavier our average temperature goes down. Those on keto diet lose weight and keep it off despite any toxins in environment.

[@paulcampbell840]

Double the mass, but proportionately less increase in surface area means that the internal organs are protected from the external cold by the blubber, and less heat is required in proportion to the mass. However, I think the hot tap (faucet in American) is largely to blame. If you have a constant supply of hot water for bathing (and also central heating) the body is not challenged to generate its own heat. By avoiding exposure to cold environments, we are losing the adaption to cope with them. The average body temperature can then drop, as avoidance of hypothermia is no longer a constant requirement of the body.

As I've got older homes now have central heating, people now wear t-shirts in mid winter around the house..

Informative presentation but did I miss something? Was his point that there’s something wrong but we have yet to figure out what?

[@tybofborg]

He gets into the weeds quite a bit. But what I took from his presentation is that - He used to think sugar (specifically fructose) was the primary driver of obesity and metabolic illness. Others think it's all carbohydrates. Still others think it's highly processed seed oils. And there's research indicating that environmental factors like exposure to BPA, PFAS, air pollution etc. also play a role. - What ties these ideas together is that these factors increase oxidative stress in the body, leading to inflammation, fat deposition, insulin resistance, and various chronic illnesses. - The way to fix this is not individual choices, but public health measures enacted on the government level. You can tell a person to cut added sugar from their diet (I did, it reversed my prediabetes and made me lose 40 kilos), but it's very difficult when most of the omnipresent processed food in Western societies contains added sugar. Also it's addictive. And many people live in food deserts where highly processed food is all you can get. Fresh food is more expensive and you need time to prepare it. And obesity in the rise in non-Western societies too, so it's not just the added sugar. Forever chemicals in the environment won't go anywhere until we ban their use and release into the environment. So individual choices play a role, but you're swimming against the current. It takes government intervention to reverse the current.

Dr. Lusting is a phenomena. He is an outstanding doctor and researcher. However, he is Not perfect. My one disagreement is that we Most Certainly DO have free will. Now insulin is Not only a hormone that regulates blood sugar, but is also a hormone that results in fat storage, which I believe Dr. Lusting would agree. Most of the insulin released is the result of consuming carbohydrates (most especially refined carbohydrates). Proteins much less so, and fats, not at all. This is the principle cause of the obesity epidemic we are now experiencing. Many individuals (I would say a majority) have a craving for sweets. This desire / craving has a biochemical (probably also genetic) component to it divorced from behavior. However, and this is of utmost importance, each individual decides solely on his own (the FREE WILL COMPONENT) how he will behave (react) to this "sweet tooth" biological craving for sweets and the insulin released resulting in the fat storage hormone doing it's dastertedly deed.

I believe most, maybe even all what dr. Lustig says, he is my top reference to diet for many years. I manged to come to ideal body weight using keto or near keto diet and inspiration came from his talks. What puzzles me in his appearance: he seems to be overweight if not obese. How is that possible? He is very convincing, but is he walking the talk? Maybe it is subcutaneous and not visceral? Maybe camera is not providing good enough picture? What do you think?

[@pohkeee]

It could have a lot to do with where he lives and the chemicals in his environment…plus he seems stressed. He does have a tummy…but cameras are unkind too. All of these speculations follow what he’s proposing…

[@williamnelson4968]

Motion and exercise are obviously not on his personal agenda. His "beer belly" makes him a prime candidate for heart complications. So you are correct, he obviously likes talking more than walking. And in my opinion he is not saying anything new or even interesting so I don't understand why people are so enamored by this lecture.

[@seanrothar]

It's subcutaneous fat. He often mentions being over 40 lbs overweight himself, yet metabolically healthy.

[@anotherviewofthings]

​@@seanrotharThat's cool to know, I am sorry I haven't heard it before, although I saw many of his videos. Maybe I forgot, who knows. This (for me) new insight amazingly illustrates that he walks the talk, but has calory overflow. I wonder if the calory overconsumption in an metabolically healthy person can still cause some health issues, maybe wear and tear of joints, tendons... I also wonder, can an overweight person even with only subcutaneous superfluous fat remain metabolically healthy. It would be difficult to make such a study, primarily because it is hard to find a cohort of metabolically healthy yet overweight individuals. I would not be surprised if dr. Lustig, at least subconsciously, keeps himself overweight to prove his point that you can be metabolically healthy yet overweight. With all his enthusiasm, I know I would be prone to do a small self experiment, one's own case study, if I would be in his shoes.

[@lilydauber3147]

What is the root cause of obesity? Some of the most common ones are: eating large amounts of processed or fast food - this is food that's high in fat and sugar. drinking too much alcohol - alcohol contains a lot of calories. eating out a lot - food cooked in a restaurant may be higher in fat and sugar.

[@scuffd3542]

I really like the research Dr. Lustig does, and he's been a pioneer in the industry. That said, personal responsibility is deeply woven through society, primarily from Christianity, Judaism, Buddism, Islam, and other world religions. Saying no personal responsibility calls existed between Homer's Odyssey and the constitution, is just incorrect. Also wish he'd keep his political views out of his talks. I loved his latest book but got tired of the occasional poking at anything conservative. Throwing climate change and vaxinations in at the end of this talk is divisive and takes away from all the fantastic work he's done around obesity. Also, I do think personal responsibility is a secondary factor in health areas. Some people do eat candy and junk food because they just like it and don't make good decisions. And again that doesn't discount Dr. Lustig's decades of brilliant research and leadership.

[@wendyscott8425]

I've certainly eliminated almost all sugar from my diet, except on special occasions. I'm doing pretty well at 78. Of course, I'm also avoiding seed oils and pretty much all processed foods. Keto allowed me to lose 40 pounds easily and keep it off. Of course, at my age, and Dr. Lustig is getting there, it's hard to keep our girlish figures even if we eat right. Just saying.

[@LTPottenger]

Losing large amounts of weight and keeping it off through anything but fasting is almost certainly doomed to failure. Some benefits of occasional extended fasting and lowering carbs in the diet: High blood pressure is lowered to normal levels very quickly while fasting. Fibrosis/scarring is reversed over time, including in the heart and lungs. Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion plaques, growths and pathogens by the immune system. This will also remove spikes quicker, whether natural or unnatural in origin! Blood clotting is lessened. Blood sugar and insulin are lowered when fasting, reducing inflammation and allowing the immune bodies to move freely through the body. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy. T cells and T reg cells are vital in fighting cancer, autoimmune disease and infections but as we age the thymus stops making as many of them. Fasting releases stem cells, which then can become new T cells. It also releases growth hormone, which regenerates the thymus itself! Fasting restores NAD+ and increases nitric oxide release to open blood vessels. Reflexes and short term memory are increased. Your body recycles up to 1/3 of all immune bodies in a 72h fast, rejuvenating your entire immune system. This helps prevent the onset of new autoimmune conditions, which develop through a leaky gut and damaged immune system. Fasts from 36-96 h increase metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release! Fasting increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors and increases average telomere length in stem cell pools. Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures. Fasting restores your circadian rhythm to normal over time. When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell required for viruses to replicate. What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast but most teas and herbs are OK. Supplements and meds often break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many meds are dangerous to take while fasting. Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building. Fasting activates autophagy (literally self eating). This will cause cells to recycle damaged proteins and foreign matter such as viruses. Lowering insulin via fasting virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body. Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue! The obese will lose loose skin while fasting, but the frail will have increased growth hormone release, which helps to make more lean tissue and reduce frailness. Fasts of 36-96 will not affect short term female fertility or affect menstrual cycle. They also may increase long term fertility issues for some women. Fasting reduces pain and anxiety by stimulating the endocannabinoid system, just like the effect of CBD oil Just 24h of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half! This reduces leptin resistance, which impairs immune function. Stomach acid is reduced over time while fasting and can allow for the healing of treatment resistant ulcers. Some patients may need continued acid reduction medication while fasting. Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose. It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism, fighting infection and cancer prevention! Fasting releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth. This can help a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers. When not in ketosis, the brain can only burn carbohydrate, which produces a great deal of damaging ROS the brain has to deal with. Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level. When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells, destroying them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer. A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row also provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and extremely low carbs. Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia. They also help with dementia and many other issues even if you take them while not fasting! Glycine and trimethylglycine can also be useful supplements while fasting that won't break ketosis and have many benefits. Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness or tremors, then simply break the fast and seek advice.

[@CatMTravels]

Wow! That's a lot of research. Thank you! This all sounds really good. What do you say to those who would be afraid to fast for such long periods of time? 36 hours sounds extreme to me. I tried a 24 hour fast years ago and I felt faint and wasn't able to finish it. Dr. Jason Fung recommends fasting for 12-18 hours or longer. I think that's doable for me. What are the benefits to such shorter fasts, according to your lit review? Thanks again.

[@LTPottenger]

For doesn't recommend such short fasts much, they are better than nothing but pretty much pointless. If you lower your carbs and slowly work up the time you will get there. In animal studies, they put animals on back to back long fasts for their entire lives and they get nothing but health benefits. Just work into it slowly if you have trouble, and eat low carb before and after the fast.@@CatMTravels

[@OptimalOptimus-en5sz]

@@CatMTravels You actually have to build up to longer fasts. If you're nutritionally deficient, you're going to have a rough time every time if you start fasting right away, that's why people feel faint when they fast because their body lacks the materials it needs to function properly for longer periods. You need to fix your diet first before you start fasting for longer periods. When your body gets the nutrients it needs, you'll be able to fast for longer periods. You can still fast if you're nutritionally deficient, but the upper limit to your fasting will be smaller. To optimize fasting, you need to fix the diet first by eating foods with the nutrients you're lacking in.

[@CatMTravels]

@@OptimalOptimus-en5sz Okay. That makes sense. Thank you. How do the benefits of shorter fasting periods (12-18 hours) compare to longer fasts (especially 24+ hours)?

[@OptimalOptimus-en5sz]

@@CatMTravels If you've watched Jason Fung's videos, you should know the benefits already, but if you want to know my personal experience, I can share. When you fast for longer periods, you can actually *feel* way better. What do I mean by this? Well, when I went through my first day of fasting, it was a bit of a hurdle. I drank Green Tea to help suppress the hunger cravings to get through the first day. When I transitioned into Day 2 of fasting for the first time, it was as if I received a huge surge of energy. I woke up in the morning with way more mental clarity and focus than I had ever experienced in my life. The hunger I felt the day before practically didn't exist anymore. I was able to fast that whole day with no discomfort at all and I had so much energy that I didn't feel tired doing activities that usually tires me out. When I broke my fast, things went back to normal. That surge of energy went away, hunger returned, and mental focus and clarity went back to baseline. When I returned to a standard eating pattern, that bodily state never returned. I decided to experiment to see if that bodily state would return after I fasted for 2 days like before, so the following month, I fasted until I hit the 2nd day of fasting, and that bodily state did indeed return. It's as if your glucose and glycogen stores are a small fuel tank. When it runs empty and your body switches over to the larger fuel tank which is your fat stores, that's where you get that surge of energy. This benefit is not something that you can reach if you do caloric restriction. You'll never feel this way if you follow the calories model. The reason why this is the case is that you are essentially refilling that smaller fuel tank constantly and because you're constantly running out of energy in that smaller fuel tank by counting your calories and under consuming without switching over, the engine that's running on it is essentially running on fumes and you feel like crap. If you fast for 12-18 hours, you won't feel like crap all the time. Yes you will feel hungry, but that hunger goes away after about an hour or so. You can help suppress the hunger during this window by drinking water to help with the transition. You don't have to do prolonged fasting, but if you want to do it, doing intermittent fasting is a step in the right direction. However, if you want to get that surge of energy I mentioned, you have to make it all the way to the 2nd day of fasting. This is because the first day is the window in which glucose and glycogen is being used from when you ate your last meal. Once this energy is depleted, your body transitions to using fat for energy which happens on Day 2. The transition's not fun, but if you can make it through that hurdle, you will feel great.

We are stone age human bodies, with biochemistry adapted to a stone age world. Or a world we had up to the 20th century. And yes, we have biological basic behaviors as a result of this environment. Anger, fear, love, fight, flight, hunger, longing for scarse energy rich food, saving energy etc etc. So everyday we get instincts to do some of all this biological behaviors, the call of the wild. We end up in a stressed situation and our brain tell us to do some of those behaviors. But. We are also humans. We have a concience. And our environment has changed. We have abundancy of food, we have alot of alcohol, we drive cars in speed that can kill others. So when we have a responability to know we have these "call of the wild" and make a decision if we are going to follow the call or don't. You are driving down the road and someone cut your off. You get angry and wan't to chase this idiot to tell him a thing or two! Well that maybe worked when you were running on the plains of Africa. But now you are in 2 tons of steel in 150 km/h endangering everyone around you. Then we need a personal responsability to refrain from follow the call. If I know my biochemistry makes me easy addictive to alcohol, if I start drinking I will continue for days, then I have to make the decision not to drink alcohol at all. It is tough, a fight every day, but I have to override my biochemistry. The same with food. Yes we have a chemical environment making us easy gaining weight. Yes we have alot of sugar in almost all our food. The store is a fructose heaven, just as the bottle shop is an alcohol heaven. So we have to know the wild calls us to gather all the sugar and eat it while we can. And we have to override the urge to do so. And we can do so. Ok, I am a biologist, so I have studied instinct behavior and biochemistry. I know and often recognize "the call of the wild". Therefore have a chance to choose if I am going to follow it or not. The problem is those people believing in Tabula rasa, that everything is social environment and biology stops at the neck. Had a discussion with a radical feminist who denied biological behaviors ("I get in love with whom ever I want to be in love with.") And she was a typical slave under her biological behaviors. Alot of feelings. She believed so much in free will that she had almost none. To have free will you have to recon your biology.
