What Sugar ACTUALLY Does to the Body

[@pathakkkk]

Thank you so much for this. When I was diagnosed with T2 Diabetes 3 years ago at 32 years old, I was told that it's a degenerative disease. But I've been able to reverse it through exercise before meal, intermittent fasting and a low carb diet. May you live a long healthy life to keep eucating the masses and removing misinformation about the human body. Thank you

You said a key thing - "reverse." You didn't "cure" it, you reversed it. Many diseases can be reversed, they don't need some magical cure. Glad to hear you're doing well. I lost 60 lbs. over a couple years, without trying, just by doing the things you're doing. I also take quality supplements. At 57 years old, I'm healthier than I've ever been.

[@stalstonestacy4316]

This is my story, too. I adopted a low carb diet and reversed my Type 2 diabetes without any medication. The few carbohydrates I eat the better I think, feel and sleep. I have even seen improvements in my Autoimmune symptoms. Everything I was told about the dangers of low carb and ketogenic way of eating has been proven to be a lie. I even watched as the American Diabetes Association, in a most cowardly fashion, finally endorsed this way of eating as an effective means to control, improve and even reverse T2D. Congratulations on your improved health!

It took me 6 LONG months to kick my lifelong sugar habit. I literally tried everyday, failed, gave up and repeated all that trying to give up sugar for 6 long ass months. Finally after 6 months i was able to go an entire month with zero sugar. I had stevia only a few time but after that i ended up giving that up too. Im proud to say i am now 1 year sugar free with the exception of sugar from fruits like apples and oranges etc. I havent had any single cane sugar or artificial sugar for a year now. So damn proud of my self but i swear to god it was like a getting rid of a drug addiction. I felt like i went through withdrawals. Headaches, detoxing and all. It was bad. I will never go back to eating any sugar whatsoever. Ive lost so much weight, got rid of candida, got rid of tinnitus(ear ringing), no more acne, got rid of my fat belly, i sleep so much better and my endurance levels have improved. I eat so healthy now everyone says im a health nut. Lol ill take that over being a sugar addictict! Im a 34 female with 2 children. Even my kids and husband have kicked the sugar habit. So proud of them!! We also cut out anything processed and any gluten. We eat an animal based diet with lots of protein and lots of animal fats! Anyways cutting out sugar is possible it just takes a little time. 😅 Trust me!! 😅😅

[@cprivera1]

Also one rule to live by, is to ALWAYS look and read labels on EVERYTHING!! Sugar is in a lot of things. If it says any added sugar whatsoever I DO NOT BUY IT or EAT IT. I've made it my #1 rule in my house. Absolutely no added sugar. No cane sugar, no stevia, no artificial sugar, no nothing! You have to read the labels on all packaging of food. Since we eat an animal based diet now I don't really have to worry about buying any packaged processed food since everything we eat is fresh like eggs, steaks, butter, raw dairy, raw cheese, tallow, lamb, chicken, fruits and some veggies. When you eat this way you have all natural ingredients nothing added. Also we try to eat all organic and grassfed as much as possible. It has been life changing getting rid of sugar, gluten, and anything ultra processed. Stop the SAD diet and you will change your life I guarantee it! 💯

Diabetes is a barrier between blood sugar and glycogen storage. Type 1 is caused by a weak and failing pancreas (usually the immune system has attacked it) that doesn't produce insulin (in significant quantities if at all). Type 2 is the cells are unresponsive to insulin - usually because the receptor sites are clogged up with fat.

[@victoriafernandes5599]

[@doridore1234]

I think this video actually helped me understand why I'm hyperglycemic; I've always been on the taller and skinnier side, quite lean with a somewhat toned amount of muscle. It's extremely difficult for me to gain a significant amount of fat and I've never been fat or able to put on large amounts of it. So it seems that, if my body is unable to store that much glycogen in my muscles or my liver, and I am unable to remove the glucose from my blood by turning it into fat, then much more of my glucose would remain in my blood then the average person who can put on more fat than I can, hence the tendency for my blood sugar levels to be high and for me to be hyperglycemic/prediabetic. I'm trying to understand anatomy and my body better so I can adjust my diet and daily eating habits to better lower my blood sugar level so I can avoid developing Type 2 Diabetes, so this video has been somewhat helpful.

This has been very helpful and clear.

As well as not eating foods rich in antioxidants (such as donuts, that basically have no nutrients or antioxidants) isn't going to ve good for anyone.

What he didn't talk about was that added sugars, especially high-fructose corn syrup, are more readily stored as fat in the liver itself leading to fatty liver disease, they produce AGEs (Advanced Glycation End Products) which directly damage cells, and they cause a systemic inflammation response resulting in vessel damage and many other disorders. It's excess refined sugar and HFCS that actually cause many of the heart and vascular conditions blamed on dietary cholesterol. Cholesterol is a vital substance which your body actually needs and literally produces on its own. But when excess sugar damages your vessels, cholesterol is part of the body's attempts to fix the problem. When you keep your body in a constant state of inflammation, cholesterol builds up and can result in atherosclerosis, heart damage, etc.

It's both, dietary cholesterol acts like oil and water in your blood. When those fats are inside your blood they coat your cells and make it impossible for insulin to reach the cell. If it happens to your arterial cells then you develop a wound where those cells die. Then your body starts to clot that spot. And as you continue to eat fattier meals you keep preventing your body from utilizing energy and healing. And thus more and more fat starts to accumulate in that clot. Again I don't know why people keep trying to justify eating cholesterol as a positive thing. When your body requires you to put that cholesterol into your blood to be utilized. And putting oil in water is never a good idea. That is why when your body makes its own cholesterol which it makes all that it needs it has carrier molecules that make sure that it doesn't have that impact. Saturated fat is even worse. So in combination it's deadly. The deadly combo is a burger with high saturated fat and cholesterol mixed with a bunch of starchy fries that are fried and really rancid oxidized oil, mixed with a high fructose corn syrup sugar drink, and throw in some caffeine there just to raise your blood pressure along with the salt. It's the type of stuff that shouldn't be allowed to be sold to children. Probably worse than a cigarette. Eat plants folks. They only make you healthier.

I stopped eating anything with added sugar in boxes or sodas. Regular soda is bad with the added sugar. I drink diet coke and water only. Ever since I left the added sugars and got my sugars from berries and veggies I have felt better. Avoid anything that has added sugar. Theres snacks with sugar free but those are bad too but not nearly as bad as regular table sugar.

[@caracho7191]

Yeah. For example if I buy a whole piece of cheese (haha that rhymes xD ) there´s no sugar in it. But if I buy the same cheese presliced, sugar has been added. Same with sausage for bread. The sugar helps to maintain color and keep the food from becoming bad.

[@cvgodd1432]

So true.. I just try to avoid the obvious ones like candy, soda and most juice. A can of Pepsi has a ridiculous amount of sugar. I can barely finish a can but some people will drink 7 to 10 of them a day and wonder why they’re fat. Soda needs to be regulated more, there should be a limit on the sugar they can put. This is what causes severe obesity, food can only get you so big. I never met a obese person who doesn’t drink a ton of soda. One thing my mom did was stop buying soda for the house and she will buy a few bottles of juice. She would say if you want it go buy it yourself, I’m never buying soda for the house again. All my friends would always tell me I never have anything to eat in my house. My parents didn’t buy junk food, everything had to be cooked. If they did buy some junk food my brother would demolish it in one sitting! Lol I was always 150 to 170 lbs at 6 ft I recently got to 190. The lockdown really got to me lol.

[@horrovac]

What I'm missing here is the issue of _refined_ sugar. It is not sugar per se that is dangerous, it's the refined version, which can be absorbed very quickly. This triggers an insulin surge, and can be one of the factors for Type 2 diabetes because the cells develop a tolerance for insulin. Sugar in fruit and natural foods is absolutely fine. For one, there is not much of it compared to the other stuff like fibre. A litre of orange juice contains juice from 2kg of oranges - you can easily drink a litre of juice, you'll struggle to eat 2kg of oranges. It also isn't as immediately available as the refined sugar. A significant part of the sugar is locked within the cells of your fruit and veg, and it takes time to break this matrix down and absorb the sugar. And you get all that fibre as well (juicing is stupid, ask any dietician).

[@thebraininsideahead]

sugar is sugar your body is trying to refine it when it breaks it down with digestion that is refined sugar and right when at the instannce in the moment you absorb it it is refined and your body wants to absorb the refined version because thats what it is trying to do when your body goes through the process becoming processed sugar and at the given time when its done breaking down the fibre there is o way you're not absorbing the same refined sugar as you would straight from the bag thats what your body is goiing for anyways it prefers it youre trying to give yourself direct access to the straight up available sugar and in the end that is what you get your body extracts it all the same you don't need to have a filter your body is 100% efficient at utilizing sugar , the sugar phobic community is insane.

[@horrovac]

@@thebraininsideahead Try using some interpunction, this is outright painful to read and makes your comment seem even sillier than it is already. *Of course* sugar is sugar, and at the point when it is being used in your body there is no difference whether it came from an apple or from a bag of sugar, but there is bloody well a difference in terms of how it is absorbed within your body. Which is the whole bloody point of my post. When you consume refined sugar it goes into your metabolism all at once, and your body has to work hard to keep this surge down, counteracting it by a surge of insulin and converting it into fatty tissue. But when the sugar is released slowly - as is the case when you're digesting fruit and vegetables - there is no emergency and the sugar gets consumed during the normal operation of the body. You surely *must* understand the difference between downing a bottle of wine, and drinking it with a meal during the course of an evening, don't you? There is nothing "sugar phobic" in my comment, quite the opposite: I'm stating that the bad consequences of consuming sugar are not connected to all types of sugar, and that you *CAN* consume it from the fruit and vegetables without problems. You can also consumed refined sugar without problems, but only when you're doing heavy exercise and burn it off immediately. So do us all a favour and learn to read (and write) before embarrassing yourself with such a comment.

The main problem with sugar is when it's consumed the same time as fat. The fat blocks it's intended absorption and the sugar is redirected as a radical into the bloodstream causing inflammation.

Amazing video as always!! Being a type 2 diabetic, this has helped me a lot. Could you please make a video regarding the Keto diet and it's benefits or harm that it does to the human body? How true is it that our bodies can use fat as a source of energy rather than carbohydrates? I would greatly appreciate some light thrown on this subject.

[@The9thDoctor]

Well, if you're only asking if it's possible for the body to use fat as an energy source, the simple answer is yes. Babies are doing this all the time, although if you eat a carbohydrate heavy diet like almost everyone does, you end up losing the ability to stay in a state of ketosis and to get it back you have to force your body to re-adapt by not letting it use carbohydrates. This is essentially the whole premise of a ketogenic diet. Most people can get past that initial state within a week of following a low-carb diet. The reason a low-carb diet can be beneficial to people with type II diabetes is because type II diabetes is a product of severe insulin resistance, which is almost always caused by prolonged consumption of a diet excessive in carbs. The fact that it takes many years to develop diabetes from this shows just how resilient the body is. A keto diet could be helpful in undoing damage that has been done by eating too many carbs for too long. The main problem is that a keto diet can be really difficult for some people and easier for others. Some people are legitimately addicted to sugars and even starches and have extreme cravings as a result. Often, the people who have the hardest time quitting are the people who need it the most. So, if you're one of those people, I'd recommend taking it slow and eliminating the highest carb foods and give yourself time to adapt to that before going full keto. If you drink soda or eat desserts, let that be the first to go. Then starch-heavy foods like bread, potatoes, corn, and rice. The last thing you should cut out is fruits, and you can leave in a small amount of fruits even on a keto diet as long as you ensure that you're not getting too many carbs from the fruit. For most people, a keto diet doesn't have to be a permanent thing, they would do fine doing it for only a year to give their body time to heal and then afterwards make sure you never overconsume carbs again (so never add back things like soda or candy and leave desserts for special occasions, but don't worry too much about eating things like fruit.) Another recommendation I personally have for those looking to try out a low carb diet is to not fear meat and not fear fat. Especially organ meats like liver, heart, and even kidney are highly nutritious. Some people will not like the consistency or taste of organ meats, so if you dislike organ meats you can just stick to liver as it tends to be one of the more easily palatable organ meats and also one of the most nutritious. Beef liver is a great option, although liver from other animals is just as good. I think this can really increase your chances of success with a low carb diet. I hope this can help you! Best of luck with conquering your diabetes. I've experimented with low carb diets in the past and more recently I've been eating an almost zero carb diet for 30 days which I'm almost at the end of, and afterwards I'll add back in small amounts of fruit occasionally and do a low-carb diet long-term.

[@krisannsmith6934]

Thanks for you explanation.

[@henkackermann9986]

@Manan , do research on the bantingdiet also .

[@TheCatnipCinema]

Yes your body would actually prefer to use fat as a fuel source. It's called ketones. It burns/stores sugar fast because it wants to get rid of it as fast as possible out of the blood. Sugar is toxic.

[@TheCatnipCinema]

If you become fat adapted and your body is used to burning fat as a fuel source, you can go the whole day exercising and be totally fine and not crash. When you eat sugar and carbs every day and you try to exercise for several hours at a time, you will have a major blood sugar crash an hour in and it can be dangerous and will at least ruin your day. Ketones are a much more reliable fuel source than sugar. Sugar is short lived and toxic for your body anyway.

Here's the kicker. If you're eating a crap diet like I was, you need to stop sugar altogether to overcome the cravings before you can have the occasional treat.

[@thereisnolifehere]

This is exactly the answer I've been looking for for years. The popular opinion is that sugar = bad, drink diet drinks, but not via aspartame, etc. I can see how say a weight lifter would still opt for the diet if they were on a calorie restricted diet, but aside from that, if you absolutely need to satisfy your sweet tooth and you're active, having a normal sugar is probably more beneficial for your body than a "diet" option solely based on the positive effects in the body via recharging glycogen stores.

You're right that your body can run off ketones as well as glucose, but it does this as a last resort fail safe when your body is a state of semi-stavation, it's definitely not safer than glucose-atp synthesis. Ketones are quite literally toxins that do free radical damage to your tissues, and push your blood pH buffer systems to the limit. Not consuming enough carbs for years on end puts you a huge risk for ketoacidosis, low-grade acidosis, kidney stones, islet of langerhans atrophy, gut dysbiosis, left ventricular atrophy and literally so many other health concerns. It puts stress on all of your organ and hormonal systems and generally isn't recommended long term . Idk what kinda cult Dr. Berg has going on but be careful folks :/

I cook everything I eat, never eat out, and NO processed foods and no table sugar. However, I consume 400- 450 apples and 70 to 90 bananas a week. I looked at the video to see if I was doing the right thing with all the fruit. What's your take on the fruit?

[@tia8527]

I'm not a professional in any sense of the word, but I have a general understanding of nutrition. Fructose, the sugar in fruit, breaks down the same way refined sugar does. HOWEVER, the rate of absobtion can be slowed due to the fibre consumed just by eating a fruit. This, along with general bowel health, is why eating a fruit is better than drinking fruit juice. Fruit also has the benefit of vitamins, which play a role in general bodily function and motabolism. The amount of fruit had typically means less than it's weight. Where I'm from, a serve of fruit is considered to be 250g or the approximate size of 2 of your own handfuls, and you'd want to have at least 2 of those per day, coming to about 3.5kg or 28 handfuls worth of fruit in a week. If you're concerned you might be consuming too much fruit from a sugar perspective, I do suggest speaking with your doctor or a registered dietician - in the abcense of funding for those, I always encourage intuative eating for the sake of stable health. This isn't eating whatever you please, but considering how the food you eat makes you feel physically and emotionally, and why. For example, I feel annoyed if I've eaten the same food over and over again, so I have to make efforts to change what food I have, or how I have it in order to stop myself from eating easy foods filled with sugars and the like. Paying attention to when you get full, to when you feel like eating, and to how each food makes you feel is best when eating for health. Quantity matters less as each individual body is slightly different. But try to speak to a proper health professional if you can. Edit: worth a mention I wrote this before watching the video - you comment caught my eye. I'm sorry if I've restated things that had already been adressed. Some additions I'd like to make after watching the video: -I'm honestly impressed you eat so many fruits given how fibre works to make you feel fuller for longer. -As mentioned, eating the fruit with other foods (like more complex sugars, protiens, higher fibre content foods) can change the absobtion rate. Or switch out the fruits for sweet vegetables (like carrots) that are objectively lower in sugars. -You should still see a doctor or registered dietician to get a proper evaluation of your diet in general. I imagine they might have some concerns and take your bloods, but it's always worth dicussing with someone who knows your situation and knows what they're talking about.

At age 70 my parents were afraid she wasn’t going to be around much longer. Well she outlived my father and she died at the age of 97. Never had diabetes or any health issues other than obesity. Some people seem to cope well with sugar. Unfortunately I have her cravings for sugar but I don’t eat as much of it as she did. Not nearly the same amount but at supper every day I love dessert. I have a desk job so I don’t get much exercise and I’m overweight. I just hope I have the same ability to deal with it as my grandmother did. Very interesting video. It puts sugar into perspective.

Just get some muscle on your frame and eat less calories, there are also some supplements you could take which help your body metabolize glucose better, such as sr9009 or cardarine

Sometimes it really is just genetics. I know people who eat all kind of crap, and they remain slim. Others monitor carefully what they eat and still, one cookie 'magically' moves the scale.

[@ds99]

@@vilena5308 How true. That’s my case. If I eat any sweets at all I either don’t lose weight or I gain. All my life I’ve had to carefully watch what I eat. Yet I’ve got friends who eat chips and chocolate bars and go to McDonald’s 2 to 3 times per week and they are thin. One is actually so thin he looks like he might fall apart but he eats a tremendous amount of food. Definitely more than what I eat in a day. Genetics has a huge role I’d say.

[@nathanwoodruff9422]

@@ds99 Here is something that I live by for every gram of fat, you need 2 grams of carbs(sugars) and 4 grams of protein. I try to consume my weight in lbs in grams of protein. Use the formula to figure out how much carbs and fat. That will give you energy, enough that you will feel like getting up and moving around. Also start taking the daily dose of Vitamin B1, B6, B9, and B12. B9 isn't that important as it says on the bottle "for pregnant women", but your wife/girlfriend (or both) will enjoy the side effects that B9 will give you. I'm not a doctor, *BUT* I've been living by that formula for the last 6 years and I can prove the results if you want to look me up on strava under this name. Oh.. .and I am also 57 years old 6'1" ~170 - 175lbs and consume a 10lb bag of sugar in about 3 weeks.

Great video! Would love to see a follow-up, taking a look at what a ketogenic diet does to the body, including the role of glycogen stores and perhaps demystifying whether fasting (intermittently or prolonged) completely depletes your muscle tissues.

@@florenceobrien2822 Not true.Keto is very beneficial. You will have some unpleasent changes as you switch from glucose metabolism to keto metabolism,but once over the hump,you will feel fine.I've done keto for sixteen years. Your body does nor need carbs and if it needs a dose of glucose,it can make it's own. This video explains it nicely:kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipOvg5d6oKlqjJY

@@MarkNOTW I think it depends on what base you coming from, if your fat and you do a keto diet you gonna feel fantastic! However if you have a normal BMI and u do keto you gonna get a low mood, bad breath (it won't matter how much you brush your teeth or use peppermint, as as it's bateraia on your tougue, throat that generate the smell) Keto is a form of controlled stavation in all honestly. Don't be fooled by some of these dudes that are super bulked up, and ripped that push the keto diet on you tube. They didn't do keto to look like that! It's a total lie. If you were to gain weight on a keto diet you would have to eat AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF FAT AND DO AN ENOMOUS AMOUNT OF TIME IN THE GYM! theres so many easier and cheaper ways to do it. I'm not knocking you dude, no offense in any way

Good and informative video, but one important question remains unanswered and that is how much sugar should we consume per day? What is the right amount of sugar we can consume without risking our health? Thanks for answering!

What a complete wholesome video it is, I have searching content on sugar for days, and no one has explained the topic in this much detail without sounding boring yk

[@goifur]

I have a question, (14:40) if exercises makes our muscles prefer carbohydrates as source of energy more than fat, what happens to the fat when we exercise?

[@dallysinghson5569]

Depends on your exercise type...

[@theanatomylab]

The short answer is you will still burn fat, it is the ratio of fat to carbs that changes with exercise intensity.

[@likithstochastic]

The variation in tissue mass (fat and muscle) ultimately boils down to the Calorie balance. In a span of time, if the Calories coming in exceeds the Calories burnt, the body gains tissue mass. On the other hand, if the Calories burnt in that span of time is more than the Caloric intake, then the body losses tissue mass. The former is called 'Caloric surplus' and the latter, 'Caloric Deficit'. The resistance exercise changes the proportion of muscle to fat mass that changes during a Caloric surplus or a Deficit. Meaning, if somebody went on a Caloric surplus while lifting weight (resistance workout in general) then the tissue mass will increase as usual, but a good portion of that tissue gained will be muscle (of course this depends on the training age of the lifter. A novice can gain more muscle than an advanced trainee in a given span of time). Same thing happens during a deficit. If the trainee is involved in resistance training during a deficit, then most of the tissue mass lost will be that of fat.

Always remember, animal fat will not produce fat around your liver, sugar will. So if the diagnosis says you have fat in your liver, stay away from sugar, not meat or animal fat.

And why exactly would that be? You use fat as storage of energy. You eat to much, you start storing energy as fat. The easiest way to overeat is a combination of fat, salt and sugar.

I stopped adding sugar to my tea or coffee ages ago, I do not use the sugar bowl at all now. My sugar only comes from natural foods like fruits and veggies and I feel great with exercise. One thing I would like your opinion on is Keto vs balanced diets and the effects on the body.
