Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and its Link to Chronic Illnesses, Unraveling the Hidden Epidemic.

Professor Robert Lustig, a professor of Pediatric Endocrinology, is giving a presentation on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its connection to chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes. NAFLD affects a significant portion of the population without their knowledge. Dr. Lustig emphasizes the importance of understanding the cause and pathogenesis of this disease, as it has become prevalent even in children who don't consume alcohol. He challenges the notion that obesity alone is the primary cause of metabolic diseases, presenting data showing that lean individuals also suffer from these conditions. He explains that the measurement of fat on the scale does not accurately determine a person's health status. Dr. Lustig highlights the significance of insulin resistance as a key factor in determining the development of diabetes and other chronic diseases. He discusses the different fat depots in the body, namely subcutaneous fat and visceral fat, and how their distribution and metabolic activity affect health outcomes. Dr. Lustig considers sugar (glucose-fructose) as a hazardous substance that can alter one metabolic pathway and help develop fatty liver.

[@libertysong1]

Oh really...🤔 Both omega 6 linoleic acid and omega 3 fatty acids oxidize rapidly. (It's why they bleach flour), because it goes rancid within 5 days of splitting the seeds to oxygen, (oxidation). In fact the manufacturers are well aware of this and some add vitamin E as a preservative to seed oils. Krill & salmon oil has astaxanthan a natural antioxidant that preserves the oil. It's what gives it tge reddish pink color. Take a look at the data on diabetes and heart disease for Japan before during and after the western diet was introduced there. Also the first heart attacks started coming around 20 years after crisco first started being used as a cooking oil as opposed to an industrial lubricant. Petroleum replaced seed oils in industry and tge seed oils aggressively tried replacing lard to salvage their plummeting market share. It's a concern because Americans consume around a 30:1 omega 6-3 ratio these days. Traditionally it's a 1:1 ratio. In mouse models anything over A 5:1 ratio CAUSeD cancer in the mice. So something is going on here. HFHC diet is shortening lifespans.

[@Emerypharma]

We are not surprised. Many doctors are not knowledgeable with respect to metabolic syndrome and conversion of fructose to fat.

[@Tpry]

Non fatty liver disease ( is a silent killer like hypertension. Liver fat is adriver of diabetes even in normal weight people. Fatty liver disease is a precursor of type 2 diabetes. It was the liver fat that dictates insulin resistance . Where the liver fat came from ? From nonsystemic fatty acids came from de novo lipogenesis ( DNL) Systemic fatty acids came from diet and lipolysis of peripheral adipose tissues. 3 hits to the liver that leads fatty liver disease. 1. DNL ( de novo lipogenesis) because of mitochondrial dysfunction. Ex. Reyes Syndrome - aspirin causes mitochondrial dysfunction because of changes in hepatic lipids and TGD. Causes a defect in ACAD-L enzyme. Sugar is a mitochondrial toxin. Glucose is non- toxic, because it is converted into glycogen in the liver., and glycogen is safe. But Fructose overwhelms the mitochondria to be ale to to metabolize it to ATP, and carbon dioxide. It then throw off excess as citrate which then become malonyl-CoA, into free fatty acids , then into VLDL, and exporting it out of the liver. But some will precipitate as fatty/lipid droplets in the liver causing fatty liver , insulin resistance, pancreas has to produce more insulin, which makes you fat , and you keep eating because insulin block. .Fructose reduces liver mitochondrial function, while glucose stimulates it. Fructose inhibits 3 enzymes in the liver : AMP Kinase, ACAD-L, CTP1A , decreases beta oxidation of fatty acids /lipids. Glucose stimulates 2 enzymes that increase beta oxidation. Sugar is a mitochondrial toxin. Fructose makes liver to store more fat. Sugar is toxic unrelated to calories. Metabolic improvement results after fructose restriction without calorie change, without weight loss. Liver fat production reduced, visceral fat and liver fat reduced, increased insulin sensitivity. . 2. ROS formation and inflammation. Fructose produces more ROS , and faster than glucose. Need anti-oxidants to counteract ROS. Fructose is a cellular toxin in vulnerable cells without anti-oxidants. . Fructose causes , leaky gut and liver inflammation. 3. Malnutrition and defective packaging and transport. Fat has to exit liver as VLDL. Sucrose necessary to provide the substrate for steatosis. Methionine ( methionine provide the methyl group for glutathione) deficiency reduces glutathione . Choline is necessary for hepatic lipid export because phosphatidyl choline which is needed for ApoB100 for VLDL to exit liver. . Need methionine to make glutathione , if deficient will lead to fatty liver Sugar exposure/diet with Methionine-Choline deficiency causes fatty liver disease, because sugar as substrate for ROS formation, need Methionine to make Glutathione anti-oxidant, and Choline is needed to make the fat exit the liver.. So the " 3-hit hypothesis of fatty liver or NAFLD are: 1. Mitochondrial dysfunction and DNL 2. ROS generation and inflammation 3. Malnutrition and defective packaging and transport. Sugar causes diabetes , heart disease, fatty liver disease , tooth decay . Sugar is correlated to cancer , dementia. Fructose in diet cause the Liver to get fat first/Fatty liver , causing insulin resistance, then pancreas has to produce more insulin, Foodstuffs and metabolic syndrome : Trans fats; branched chain amino acids, ethanol, Fructose All cause fatty liver disease. Liver is the only site for energy metabolism Liver is not insulin regulated No glycogen popoff ( fat , mitochondria is overwhelmed. What to do: 1. No sugar( reduce the substrate) , 2. high fiber ( to reduce sugar To liver) , 3. Choline ( improve transport) . 4. Exercise to increase clearance. Anti-oxidants are vitamin E and glutathione. Need methionine to make glutathione, Need choline to make fat exit liver.

@@charliesamantha4660 I think round up falls into the category of "crap we put into our food". EMF are an interesting subject because i think they are affecting us via the same mechanism. They modify the air we breathe. Stress, in my opinion is a scapegoat, it allows us to explain everything that happens in the body that we cannot find an adequate explanation for. I think the reason millions of people can be very often stressed, and not have any physiological problems, is because stress itself isn't the problem. Stress affects the body in a way that increases the negative effects of the air we breathe. Basically, psychological stress alone will not cause the physiological problems that are associated with stress. The oxidative stress caused by the air we breathe, can cause physiological problems without psychological stress, but psychological stress will make it worse. The problem is the oxidative stress (physiological) not the stress (psychological).

[@Tpry]

Type 2 Diabetes is a manifestation of fatty liver disease. Type 2 diabetes occurs in obese , lean or normal weight adults, alcoholics, and children . Although obesity is a risk factor for diabetes, but obesity is not the cause of diabetes. Metabolic health ( no liver fat, no diabetes) is not necessaily related to body weight. Lean normal weight can also be sick with diabetes and fatty liver. Intra-abdominal fat ( but not subcutaneous fat - under the skin only) correlates to fatty liver and diabetes and chronic disease. Insulin resistance ( and high fasting Insulin) and Trigycerides ( not the LDL per se) are At 16:25 " the standard model of insulin resistance" Fat makes cytokines, ( TN-alpha, IL-6 ), which circulates and enter liver and causes liver to become insulin resistant, this increases hepatic glucose output , increases blood glucose which causes pancreas to produce more Insulin, which causes hyperinsulinemia, which causes more fat formation ., so on in a cycle. This is not true, . As weight increases, insulin sensitivity reduces, but there are exceptions. It is the insulin sensitivity vs insulin resistance that determines the the fate of a person, in terms of diabetes , heart disease, morbidity and mortality. 3 fat depots in the body: 1.Subcutaneous fat does not matter. You have to gain 22 lbs or 10 kilos of subcut fat before you get sick. 2. Visceral/ belly fat - is very metabolically active. Is responsive to ( acute stress) adrenergic stimulation of epinephrine, causing lipolysis in fat cells releasing fatty acids , go to liver where it is turned into ketones. ( burn fat). Neurapeptide-Y is the break for the adrenergic stimulation by epinephrine , and leads lipid storage , therefore reverses the effect of adrenergic effect of acute stress. Chronic stress releases cortisol which increases visceral fat formation, appetite and lipogenesis . Only, have to gain 5-6 lbs of visceral fat before getting sick , because visceral fat drains into the liver, more cytokines effects. 3. Liver fat ( at 25:35) - cause is alcohol , in the past. But now, it is caused by sugar , even in children . But the liver effects of alcohol and sugar are the same. Fatty liver disease is everywhere and occurs in obese and normal weight people. If have fatty liver disease is 3.5 times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes in your lifetime, because fatty liver causes liver to develop insulin resistance and pancreas beta cells burn out. Where does the fat came from? It was the liver fat that dictated insulin resistance/. Liver fat came from non- Systemic fatty acids. Systemic fatty acids come from diet and lipolysis from peripheral tissues Non- systemic fatty acids came from de novo lipogenesis by the liver. 1. De novo lipogenesis because of mitochondrial dysfunction . Example is in Reye Syndrome( acute fatty infiltration) . Cause is aspirin. Don't give aspirin to children. Aspirin causes mitochondrial dysfunction. Aspirin causes changes in hepatic lipids and triglycerides , causing mitochondria not to work. Aspirin causes a defect in ACAD-L enzyme. 2. Sugar is a mitochondrial toxin . When glucose enters the liver almost all is converted to glycogen. Glycogen is safe. But Fructose , overwhelms the mitochondria capability to metabolize it into ATP , throw off excess as citrate , to malonylCOa , then forms free fatty acids and packaged as VLDL ( with apoB100). This is how the liver turns excess sugar into fat and export it out. . But some get precipitated as fatty lipid droplets, to get fatty liver, then get insulin resistance, then pancreas has to make more insulin and you get fat, and the insulin is block and you keep eating. " fructose reduces liver mitochondrial function, while glucose stimulates it. " Fructose inhibits 3 enzymes in the liver : AMP kinase , the fuel gaugeon the liver cell ACAD-L. CTP1A generates carnosine - enzyme necessary for beta oxidation

[@allanchino35]

Is the insulin resistance caused by the fat or by the cytokines?

[@xnoreq]

​@@allanchino35 Fat leads to localized hypoxia. The body reacts by accumulation of leukocytes. These cause inflammation. This impairs insulin receptor signalling. Another way to look at it: when e.g. your liver gets too fat then your body protects itself by reducing insulin sensitivity through inflammation because high insulin sensitivity would mean the cells would store even more trigylcerides.

[@Purplecow233]

Fascinating lecture. Thank you. Reyes Syndrome has a connection to ASA use in the face of a virus was mentioned in this lecture. My mind couldn’t help leaping to the thought that we may be seeing a new adult version of Reyes Syndrome in individuals taking 5-ASA in the face of a virus like COVID. It might lead to the unexpected dx of fatty liver and type 2 diabetes with no risk factors except being human. (No familial hx, a ketosis diet low in sugars and fructose ). Is it possible that 5-ASA might be catalyst for fatty liver formation in the face of a virus? Has anyone ever considered this? There were questions arising about the development of type 2 diabetes after COVID and those ideas being poo poo’d as mere coincidence at the timing of dx. Could there be an actual link with taking 5-ASA? Would love to hear of someone researching this. Thanks again for the lecture which is a much broader topic but can’t help but toss this out there to the pharmaceutical and scientific community to investigate.

Prescription for NAFLD: High IGF-1 & high insulin level (both raised by fructose from refined carbs & animal prorein), BCAA's (leusine, isoleusine, valine, abundant in animal protein), transfats (naturally occuring in dairy fat and meats) and alcohol. No wonder WFPBD lowers HOMA-IR and inflammation more effectively than DASH.

[@mwsjohn]

Fantastic talk.

[@btudrus]

Dr. Lustig is wrong with regard to red meat. Both heme-iron and TMAO are only problem if your insulin is high. Heme-iron because high insulin affects the absorbtion of it (similarly to what insulin does to natrium [re]absorbtion). Also, high TMAO is a direct result of insulin resistance/hyperinsulinaemia, it has nothing to do with choline availability. So: If you eat sugar and are hyperinsulinaemic, adding red meat is bad. If you don't eat sugar and are insulin sensitive, red meat is the perfect food for us humans. That's why ketogenic and carnivore diets work (both eliminate the sugar and insulin spikes) but the standard american diet does not.

Fruits contain fructose as well as many vitamins , minarals & fibre. Should we avoid the consumption of fruits? What is the openion of Dr. Lustig?

[@Emerypharma]

Fruits in moderation is good. Fruits have a lot of fiber. Fruit juice does not have fiber and contains lots of sucrose and fructose. Sucrose is a combination of a glucose and fructose. So it is advisable to avoid juices all together.

[@brianneal8561]

The fiber in fruit bound to sugars prevents the immediate absorption of fructose. The fructose then makes it farther into your gut where it and the fiber feed your gut bacteria and help create a beneficial gut barrier. Juicing or blending separates the sugar from the fiber.

[@suvajitsarkar6165]

Thanks for your guidance

[@dawnelder9046]

The old rules before the never proven lipid hypothesis was 2 servings a day. No more. A large apple was two servings. A banana was 2 servings. A half cup of berries was a serving. A tomato was also considered a fruit and a good source of vitamin C for the carb sensitive. If you can eat an apple on a empty stomach and you are more hungry after you are carb sensitive. If you get the hunger shakes you are extremely carb sensitive.

[@Divinefapper]

One problem with the red meat is bad -part. There’s data showing that tye mentioned problems dont apply to people who reduce carb intake - the meat absorbs better without carbs, and due to less carbs and fiber, it doesnt sit in the colon as long inorder to produce TMO.
