Dr. Robert Lustig is a national treasure.

[@ivanamardesic697]

You have forgotten that he is old, he has T1 diabetes, not an athlete but professor and he cannot have enough physical activities, he got problems with hiperlipidemia genetically and was taking statins during years... So he looks great after all he passed. Respect.

Great researcher and speaker, thank you so much. Life enhancing information.

[@MrCiaranm]

Interesting point at 20:45, he talks about how human body temperature has been declining over the past 150 years. There are probably several factors but I wonder about the modern access to climate control, (AC/heating). I imagine humans were more often in chilly environments most of the time. Also, most people had a seasonal period where they were uncomfortably hot. Perhaps a lifetime of adapting to climate helped keep us metabolically healthier. The developed world adapts the climate for comfort.

I suspect it has to do with problems with our thyroids ....

[@caroliner1901]

I was soo pleased to see my blood sugar this evening at 5.1 / 91 but when I checked online from sheer curiosity or boredom, this was the advice at top of the search engine for my blood result!😮😢😱 How is this advice allowed???!!! “Eat 15 to 30 grams of carbohydrate sample foods listed below) Wait 15 minutes and then recheck your blood sugar. If your blood sugar is still less than 100 mg/dl, take another 15 grams of carbohydrate and retest your blood sugar in another 15 minutes. Repeat if necessary.”

[@julianapicard8660]

My nutritionist: oh, no, I don’t follow or push the ADA dietary advice on diabetics. Also my nutritionist: you need to eat more carbs, esp complex carbs, 60 grams per each of 3 main meals, 15 in each of 2 snacks. The ADA: 60 grams of carbs with every major meal, 15 with each snack. Good god. That’s 300 grams of carbs per day. It will be a cold day in hell when I consume even 25% of that amount. I’m controlling my DM with dietary change and physical activity. I’m not derailing my work with eating carbs in those quantities. It’s awful advice for most people.

Rob, I was permanently banned from a Reddit group for spreading misinformation by quoting you about calories. 😂

[@AA-iy4gm]

Reddit is full of leftists that dislike anyone telling them to stay off of substances, not just sugar, they're vicious defendants of weed and could care less about second hand weed smoke, in fact they outright shame and say all kinds of obscene things to anyone that dislikes weed or weed smoke or is asking for advice when they are affected by it.That tells you enough about that platform.

[@JohnWest4]

Would be great to have blood tests that are relevant to health more than history. All Drs I see are stuck in the LDL=Bad , but seems like it's more like Triglycerides/HDL ratio?

[@JohnWest4]

The gap between medical research and clinical practice is a serious societal problem. As we know (ok Dr Lustig knows, we follow) LDL number fixation is imprecise, and remnant cholesterol is the villain... What does someone do when faced with this conundrum? Get insurance to open up the allowance for doctors to think outside the box a little? Or not be gated by pharma and FDA? Rather talk about this than hunters laptop, or the other red-meat talking points that are being foisted upon us as issues. This affects 50% of our population? Thank you Dr Lustig for your work in this arena.

[@jimbeaver27]

eat a healthy diet and these tests become unnecessary for 99% of the population

[@maryrichardskallman]

My Dr wanted to Rx statins to address my elevated total cholesterol, I resisted because my Triglyceride/HDL ratio was below 1.5. He talked me into a $100 coronary calcium score test and the results were 0. NO STATINS!

[@JohnWest4]

@@maryrichardskallman That reinforces the relevance of LDL as an end-all KPI. How did Triglycerides correlate to remnant cholesterol? Since statins reduce the livers output of cholesterol ( and therefor everyting that relies on those cholesterol as precursor ) Is there a correlation to reduced Vitamin D and Testosterone levels? Has it been shown that statins preferentially reduce bouyant LDL? Trying to keep up!

[@Emerypharma]

The food industry, particularly with ultra-processed foods, is producing harmful products for the public. This is a significant issue we're highlighting. Much of what Professor Lustig discusses cannot be solved with medication alone. At Emery Pharma, we focus on ensuring drug safety. Pharmaceutical companies aim to treat people's ailments; they are not the cause of these problems. The real issue lies in our food choices.

@@Darklion39 that's a good point. Muscle instead of fat makes sense

[@Darklion39]

@@aguynamewho8709 To get more...motivation explaning, bodybuilders tune their macros to their goals. Some go carnivore because of obvious reasons of pure muscle building, some utilize carbs because it increases hunger and glycogen stores above baseline for perceived increased performance. On a technical level, bodybuilders could replace plain old rice for equipotent amounts of pure table sugar, since they're basically converted to the same things (glucose (and fructose) and (white) rice is basically stripped of deeper vitamins and nutritional value. Long story short, body builders eat large amounts of rice so they're hungry enough to eat more protein to gain muscle mass (fat along with it due to insulin), and to fill glycogen stores, which adds (water) weight; this process would be the same if they replaced rice with table sugar or another mass-matched carbohydrate.

Saturated fats and added fructose is main cause of excess obesity epidemic

[@m33265]

Burning saturated fat = weight loss. In your body. So learn your body to burn saturated animal fat (same as your own) as source of energy, instead of sacharides of any kind, its called "fat adaptation" and your body will burn saturated fat from your storage (your own) or from food you eat instead of sacharides as source of energy. And thats the thing called "metabolic flexibility" to maintain your weight. Learn something about "Bartle cycle" and how it works. Fructose / sacharides of any kind / starch are main cause of obesity epidemic, saturated fat is not. Fructose is biggest source of fatty liver dissease, fatty liver dissease is underlying cause of metabolic dissease.
