Gary Taubes - 'The Case Against Sugar'

[@johnnypenso9574]

Sugar is addictive, mentally and physically. It alters your hormones, spikes hunger signals etc. Sugar/processed carbs had me in it's grip until the age of 57. Going low carb, cutting out all carbs but for green vegetables and some nuts and avocados completely changed my life. Appetite control is automatic now, I eat 1-2x/day after eating 5-6x day for 15 years. Down to highschool weight again. Feeling like a million bucks.

[@ldean8360]

I was a fat triathlete...... Gary has something here. Artificial sweeteners seem to be addictive as well. My wife would rather divorce than give up her Mt Dew. It affects her sugar preferences too. My kids and I are reducing our sugar intake dramatically. My wife won't. Anything that is not totally sugar laden doesn't "taste good". The kids and I are easily adapting to lower sugar. She can't or won't. I think the diet soda has some role. It's sort of been the story of our marriage. I spend hours doing research to try to learn more. She shoots me down with no effort to find reliable data. Just two people with opinions. Guess which of us is lean and fit......... I tried arguing with our scale for years. Sometimes your opinion is wrong. The scale doesn't care.

[@daisyj5837]

Sugar is added to everything Big Food can think off, because they know it's addictive, which is good for their profits. Big Pharma loves it, because it makes people sick with diabetes and cancer, which is good for their profits. If someone told me Big Food has shares in Big Pharma and vice versa I Would not be surprised. These 2 evils work well together.

[@patkaczmarek7362]

@@daisyj5837 Of course they do. They work in tandem with coordination from the FDA, which also enables and promotes their interests. If the FDA didn't enable and promote Big Food & Big Pharma's interests, sugar and it's likeness (artificial sweeteners) would've been banned a long time ago, and the cures for many diseases would've already been implemented. However, all three entities need a sick populace to retain and enhance their interests, which ultimately is money: which is the biggest reason the US healthcare system desperately needs to transform from a for-profit system to a non-profit, single-payer based universal healthcare system. Remove the profit, money and greed from the healthcare system and watch the good that happens.

L Dean I’ve cut out sugar and processed carbs recently and have also been intermittent fasting. Dropped 25 pounds in 90 days, but wife has not or will not complement me on my progress. She is gaining and still thinks it’s about calories in/ calories out and still eats junk.

[@OverlandTT]

L Dean have you sat through the many videos from Dr.Berg? He is a great inspiration and how to easily introduces some changes. Start with the older videos and work your way through... I'm 47 and have been doing mostly low carb, OMAD and a keto lifestyle for over 3 years. Before that I was mostly careful anyway. Losing my dad to cancer in Sept 2015 was a hit! My mom is a raging diabetic in denial who was told to have her leg amputated, gangrene and rot all caused through her illness. She too was a sugar, carb and artificial sweetener addict and still is... Mom lives in permanent nursing care here in the UK and is bed bound. Prior to nursing care she was hoisted around her house for a long time. He tipping point came in late 2015 which was her Avalanche I've just spoken of, in 2016 she spent 9 months in hospital with many, many weeks in intensive care and then to high dependency ward. If you want to see how one my moms legs was three years ago, let me know... I'll upload a private KZbin video link or even send over a picture. Finally, sweeteners are VERY unhealthy, they have very strong links to cancer (especially considering the scientist did jail time for falsifying as safe an identical sweetener a decade before the nutrasweet revolution). You could put £100,000 on the table with a Diet Coke and I'd rather have nothing. One way of really making food taste good is OMAD, one meal a day - (start easy with it) but it really makes you appreciate food and it's true taste... I hope there is a little here for you to start with that will help you and the kids, as for your wife -I can hope! Best wishes, Peter Ps, leave a message on my channel if you would like to talk further, anything I can do to help... I will.

[@alphacause]

Thanks Mr. Taubes for maintaining a sustained critique over the years with regards to the oversimplified view that the dietary and medical community holds concerning calories. In no other area, where the topic of energy is discussed, is the type and/or source of energy considered irrelevant. Only in the world of diet do so many so called "experts" look at the energy value of a food and think that is the end all be all of the discussion. Could you imagine a mechanical engineer telling his boss that his machine needs X many units of energy, and then telling him that the fuel source does not matter because energy is energy? If I run a sports car on regular unleaded fuel, verses super unleaded fuel, it will make a difference in the efficiency of the engine, regardless if both types of fuel contain the same amount of energy. If I try to run a car on coal, when it is meant to run on gasoline, the car will not move despite the fact that you can amass enough coal to produce as much energy as gas.

[@honprarules]

Someone had to say it. It boils my blood when people talk in calories. If we go by our 'experts' worldview, 100 calories of McDonalds equals 100 calories of baked beans, which is complete nonsense. This is another reason why I never bothered downloading those calorie counting apps. What am i supposed to learn by knowing the energy values of the food?

[@maryg6292]

Please don't default to blaming yourself or sugar. My beautiful niece, at age 12, was getting close to Olympic gymnastics and seemed so healthy. Suddenly, she became an insulin dependent diabetic. The doctors blamed her mother for a bad diet, etc. But the mother kept looking for a doctor who knew what he was doing. He went in, hoping to find operable tumors on her kidneys. Instead, both kidneys were a unsalvageable mess of adenoma tumors that had not showed up on the scans- a congenital defect that had finally caught up with her. Her father gave her one of his kidneys. She is fine now. Not everything can be blamed on diet. Good luck. Mary

[@MrKen59]

I had Keto fried chicken for the first time!! Woohoo!! Dang, it was good. Get a bag of chicharroness (fried pork rinds). I used plain. You can use spicy, but make sure there are no carbs, because they often add sugars to the spicy kind. Crush the pork rinds in your hands down to the consistency of Panko. It crushes easily, takes only a few seconds. Add your spices. Dip the chicken in whipped eggs, then in the crushed pork rind, and fry. The chicken comes out REALLY crispy and delicious. Best fried chicken I've ever had, and not a carb to be seen anywhere.

Sugar cause so many health problems. I'm a former sugar junkie who thought I could eat all the crappy food I wanted because I've never been over weight. I've always ate healthy organic meats, and vegetables. I also suffered from horrible depression for years. My doctor put me on antidepressant meds that I stopped after two weeks because it made me feel like a zombie. I started noticing what I ate and when my depression came on and I realized it was after binging on cookies cakes ice cream for 3 or 4 days. I was hypoglycemic and almost passed out a couple of times because my sugar dropped too low. Now I eat sweets as a special occasions and not because I think working out mean it's ok. I can't remember the last time I couldn't get off the couch because I was too depressed. Btw when my daughter was a girl scout, most of her sales was from my fellow gym members 😄

50:25 gout is suggested here. I have gout and going keto has solved this problem for me. beef and other meats were red herrings. Mushrooms, asparagus, or any other high purine foods are also minor. Fructose from sugar/hfcs is the culprit and this chart shows a direct correlation. This is on orders hundreds to times higher than red meats and anything else I can eat. I bet there are no studies on this. Lets do a study where everyone has gout eats same amount of meat. one group eats with sugar/HFCS and one group does not. Count results. Then switch control and test group. Count results again. I bet everyone goes Keto once they realize that sugar and HFCS is the problem or at least no sugar/HFCS. 53:40 zero studies on sugar.

[@Now_lets_get_this_straight]

You Tuber, refined added sugar is not a slow working one. Not when children are obese and now an epidemic of diabetes are affecting them. The “slow working effect” is the overconsumption of carbohydrates which can cause insulin resistance to those that are old or are generically prone which will eventually lead to diabetes.

[@robinlillian9471]

First step to clarity: Obesity is a symptom and NOT a disease. If obesity caused Type 2 Diabetes, there wouldn't be skinny people with Type 2 Diabetes, and there are. Most symptoms have more than one cause. Insulin resistance has weight gain as a symptom, but so does Hypothyroidism, which is notoriously under-diagnosed and poorly treated. Other diseases that cause weight gain: Certain bacterial and viral infections, Cushing's Syndrome, Lipedema, Praeder-Willi etc etc.

Thank you for the comment, I was searching for this. I've also heard about the theory about a month ago that seed oil(linoleic acid) causes insuline resistance. Coupled with high intake of carbs we store more fat which causes more insuline resistance. I've found multiple articles about comparision between linoleic acid and oleic acid and it showed that linoleic acid does cause insuline resistance.(olive oil is rich in oleic acid) But I could not find any study (which was not epidemiology) that would compare linoleic, oleic and stearic acid concumption on insuline resistance.

Looking forward to when Obesity will be ranked - not a cause, but a symptom - alongside increased Cholesterol production and High BP, and as an advantageous adaptive response of the Intelligently Designed body towards ensuring survival when under stress.

[@robinlillian9471]

Aha! So, that's where the BS about fructose making you eat too much came from. Someone (Tappy) just assumed that because fructose causes weight gain, and "everyone" knows that eating too much causes weight gain, that fructose must make people eat too much. Another mystery solved.

[@Interestingworld4567]

46:05 what is "white meat" can someone tell tx

[@kayallen7603]

Chicken and pork mainly is what is meant by white meat.

[@AnimaLibera]

Francisco Santos: In culinary terms, white meat is meat which is pale in color before and after cooking. A common example of white meat is the lighter-colored meat of poultry (light meat), coming from the breast, as contrasted with dark meat from the legs. Poultry white ("light") meat is made up of fast-twitch muscle fibres, while red ("dark") meat is made up of muscles with fibres that are slow-twitch. In traditional gastronomy, white meat also includes rabbit, the flesh of milk-fed young mammals (in particular veal and lamb), and pork. Wikipedia)

[@salemdesigns65]

White meat is leaner. Dark meat is fatty

[@FedericoDecara]

Kay Allen no, pork is red, from a nutritional standpoint. Lots of iron.

[@rawmilkmike]

I love Gary and his message, but he's not the ideal spokesperson for our cause. His logic is often sketchy, and he hem-haws around. Don't get me wrong he is a net plus. We need his help and insight. Maybe he could use a coach.

[@aliendroneservices6621]

Kids are killed by raw milk. Doesn't matter where it's sourced from.

[@grantw7946]

Chronic not Acute.

[@Guzzirodo]

You lose credibility when you show illogical dislike of President Trump. Stick to nutrition. 😀😀

[@renepothetes2173]

He said he agreed with him ??

[@toni4729]

Illogical?

[@douglivingstone4285]

Maybe he could explain why Vegan's who eat a diet high in carbohydrates have some of the lowest rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes.

[@paulgee3411]

Some people are lucky enough to have a common genetic mutation that enables them to process carbohydrates more effectively. It is a mutation that came about when mankind started farming rather than hunter-gather. Google "Genetic diversity of CHC22" for the study.

[@lucidmonkey3591]

They just wither away and slowly go mental...

[@pqodbenliah]

Probably because, if you're vegan, you care about your health and eat organic whole foods. Ancestral genetics probably play a smaller role too.

[@toni4729]

There are two types of vegan. One type looks after themselves very well, they will not get diabetes 2 but the other will because they continue to eat sugary foods, lots of cakes and breads and cookies and they don't care what they eat as long as there is no animal fat in it. It isn't animal products that causes diabetes, that is more than clear. If it was we would have been suffering from it for millions of years.

[@keithmadden9260]

Most of us can't deal with carbohydrates,it's causing an epidemic of obesity.The more our food has become carb rich the more obesity has risen

[@naturalhealing9970]

Love, love, love Trump!!

[@deendrew36]

Natural Healing yikes

[@FindleyOcean]

A teacher ate nothing but twinkies for months in a caloric deficit and lost weight to show that calories in calories out works. You cannot break the law of thermodynamics.

[@PieInTheSky9]

Yeah but the body isn't a closed system. It reacts differently to different calories. Things like metabolic rate will change based on what you're eating and when you're eating it,and the type weight you gain or lose will be different (losing muscle vs losing fat vs losing water weight).

[@michaelousley6552]

You can lose weight on Twinkies. That does not mean that it is a sustainable method of body recomposition and fat loss.

[@douglivingstone4285]

He could literally have the same presentation and blame fat instead of sugar. He's a journalist not a nutrition expert.

[@KenJackson_US]

The metabolic processes are different, so the argument wouldn't work.

[@paulgee3411]

He is a SCIENCE journalist. The EVIDENCE does not support a hypothesis that fat results in diabetes, high BP, etc. Understand?

[@NFL1976]

Silly comment. Just 100% wrong.

[@doddsalfa]

It’s important to understand this guy is a con artist and a very bad reader of the science literature

[@UchihaChikiru]

No offense to Gary but it sounds to me like excess consumption of both sugar AND fat is what caused the obesity epidemic. But god we can’t tell people that, then *every* Industry would be upset lmfao

[@keithmadden9260]

Nonsense! Our grandparents and great grandparents ate literal lard for breakfast and they weren't obese. FAT isn't the problem.

[@keithmadden9260]

They ate bacon,cooked with bacon grease.ate eggs galore. And were very healthy on a high fat diet

[@aliendroneservices6621]

So you're a breatharian?

[@ninehigh99]

Frank Tufano is more convincing these days than Gary Taubes. Still interesting to see him try to raise funds for NuSI tho. He’s not giving up, nor changing his mind on any of this.

[@dalin6275]

Frank is not looking well recently. i hope he is doing well.

[@josephsmyth832]

Slightly Vegan Your comments don’t make any sense because you didn’t really make a valid argument just accusations. You shouldn’t be throwing rocks from a glass house.

[@MikeFrame]

Taubes is wrong.

[@PieInTheSky9]

No he's not.

[@mufinmakesmusic1210]

What a waste of an hour

[@deendrew36]

Mufin Makes Music seriously? Have you read his book? This is fascinating!

[@theskyehiker]

Take notes if you are having a hard time keeping up.

They should have really turned the cameras off when he praised Trump 🙁

[@frankenz66]

[@spaceghost8995]

Trump is a complete embarrassment to us and to the world. Just an asshole in every way.

[@terraflow__bryanburdo4547]

@@spaceghost8995 Unfortunately, he is the only leader offering any hope against the globalist agenda and "business as usual" which drives so much of these issues. The Dems are completely corrupt and idiotic on diet, science and climate change.

[@fvtaxslave8283]

Space ghost, Trump isn’t embarrassing, it’s the the people who blindly follow the Democrats, and the truly named fake media, the vegan no meat agenda, the lbgtqp gay agenda, the man made global warming agenda to tax us out of existence. Keep following the democratic agenda 21 world wide depopulation globalists right into a fema camp.
