Prof. Robert Lustig - 'The three faces of metabolic syndrome'

[@Reactaddict]

Yourself Dr. Lustig, Dr.Fung and Dr Berg have saved my life. 550 lb , 42 tears old. Was dying. Cut ALL carbs grains, sugar, started strict keto / carnivore diet with daily 23 hour fast. Lost 220 lb so far. No hunger, cravings or slip ups. My kids will not be burying their dad. I owe you my deepest gratitude.

[@eugeniebreida]

[@allyfrasier6306]

Wow. Well done. That's such an incredible personal achievement for you. I agree, these Doctors are so helpful in educating us and providing necessary tools to understand what to do. But the reality is, YOU had to find the discipline and resolve to follow through on their advice. It was YOUR blood, sweat n tears that got you where you are. You made it happen. Well done..

Lustig is a really generous and lovely gentleman too. I was at a conference in London where he was a speaker, and I sat right behind him (in the second row) and when I asked him a question he turned and spent 15 mins describing the biochem to me, in ways that the presentation left out, so he was more than willing to help me, a lowly clinician (independent at that) to up my game by simply teaching me! Really a great man (and wore a very nice suit too).

[@jimbeaver27]

I am 69 years old, 6'4" 192 cm, and 6 months ago I weighed around 210 lbs, 95 kg. That doesn't sound so bad but I was a sugar addict that thought my body could handle loads of sugars, boy was I wrong. Luckily I found Keto before I had type 2 or worse. I am now down to 170 lbs and boy do I feel better, in every aspect. I definitely had metabolic syndrome, let's not kid ourselves most people do. Not anymore though thanks to people like Dr. Lustig.

I am so grateful for experts like Dr. lusting who are in the forefront for years advocating & teaching the dangers & consequences of high carbohydrate diets & ultra processed foods. Due to all these forms podcasts & the exposures to the public at large the awareness have grown. I only wish the government listened & involved especially on the lives of the very younger generation in elementary & high school to pass a law in banning ultra processed foods on vending machines for the minimum ✌️

[@michaeldillon3113]

There have been a number of studies in recent times that showed that NAFLD was a big indicator for severity of symptoms related to Covid -19 . An Oxford study compared obese patients who were infected with C19 . Those with NAFLD suffered far greater symptoms and were more likely to be hospitalised compared to the obese without NAFLD .

[@robinlillian9471]

Maybe the severity of stress is also a factor. I was under severe stress for several years, and every time I felt particularly traumatized, I couldn't eat and lost weight. HOWEVER, one incident happened AFTER a normal dinner, and I still lost weight. Yes, I did consult physicians about it, but the only answer I got was a version of starve yourself more, so you can lose more weight. None of them could give a damn about what caused the weight loss. I could have had cancer, and they would have been happy to let me die, so long as I was a thin corpse.

[@r.davidyoung7242]

This is awesome! A great engaging lecturer & incredible life changing information from the man who is doing the research! Wow.

[@Chris.Davies]

I have cut out all processed foods, all seed oils, all added sugar except for 9 grams a day in my coffee, and almost all carbs except for 300ml of whole milk in that coffee. My weight is coming down, slowly, but my body shape is changing strangely compared to other times I have lost weight... I've lost all the fat under my chin, within a month. I somehow feel softer in areas that are not muscle, and I have small depressions around the muscles I haven't had for 20+ years. Perhaps I have less inflammation than I had when on a bad diet which included a lot of seed oil and sugar. Who knows? If I have anything with carbs in it, or sugar in it, it makes me hungry! It's really weird. Replacing all the carbs with good fats like butter and beef fat, and eating properly cooked fatty cuts of meat, reduces my appetite amazingly well. I really don't crave sugar or carbs much at all - unless I have some! They are addictive, and instantly tell your body to consume more. No wonder we're all sick and tired!

[@bluewaters3100]

I almost dropped out but knowing what great researcher Dr. Lustig is I hung in there. Very glad I watched to the end. The information was superbly presented. He definitely proved that fructose is the biggest cause of metabolic syndrome and sugar is public enemy #1. Love your liver because it keeps you healthy!

[@robinlillian9471]

Summary: SQ (Subcutaneous) Fat, Visceral Fat ( from stress), and Liver Fat are the three faces of metabolic syndrome. Fat/thin-sick people BOTH have metabolic syndrome. Fat/thin-healthy people don't. #1 Cause is liver fat from excess fructose. #2 Cause is stress #3 Only 10% from SQ BTW Another theory also identifies Omega 6 processed oils as an additional cause of insulin resistance, dementia, cancer, and macular degeneration.

[@wendysgarden4283]

what's weird is that the chart at 32:12? As you can see, sugar starts to go down in 1999 in the US. Sugar consumption continues to go slightly down in the US every year, through 2018, but obesity goes up. I'm not disagreeing with the primary claims (I think Lustig and Taubes are right), but it's curious that this newer data does make one think sugar isn't the only issue driving widespread obesity. The other factors could be a lot of things. A stab at one: As income inequality has been worsening that whole time, maybe it's just increased cortisol from chronic worry about being on the verge of homelessness (or chronic stress from having relatives move in with you, or whatevs.) But the question isn't yet fully answered.

[@williammillsap7446]

Sugar may not be the only food that causes obesity but it is a main factor in causes sickness. Like he said obesity doesn’t always mean someone is metabolically unhealthy

[@marianking1379]

Corn syrup, l don't know, we don't have it in UK x

[@TerriblePerfection]

So fascinating. I have long believed that sugar is poison. One thing Dr. Lustig doesn't touch on here, however, is its addictive properties. Understanding that you should limit sweets is a far cry from actually doing so. Personally, I find that eliminating sugar is easier. I still eat apples though, and hope they aren't killing me.

[@pkwilde189]

Luann Rouff, Lustig's books: Fat Chance and The Hacking of the American Mind covers the addiction issues 👍🏼

[@overcomer4226]

Apples least nutrient dense fruit. Look at Marty Kendall nutrient optimizer.

[@andienantz]

He isn’t against whole fruits that you chew with your teeth

[@wendysgarden4283]

based on his book (which I've read twice), even higher sugar fruits like bananas that have lots of fiber (bananas do) are fine for 80% of people. In the case of a banana, eat them with a little green at the ends still to lower the sugar hit, he said. Even better, eat your apple with a slice of cheese, and the fat in the cheese will slow the response to the fruit. For only 20% of people, in his opinion, much lowered carbs are needed forever, but he thinks once most of us get rid of the hyperinsulinemia, most can switch to whole foods eating, including a whole fruit per day, eaten whole and not as smoothie (which destroys the fiber), and the majority will not see the metabolic syndrome come back. (for dieters, that = "the fat.") He's fine with oatmeal too, or wild rice, and winter squash and sweet potatoes. I hope I fairly characterized what he said.

The medical industrial complex's failure to properly research and diagnose and treat diet and microbiome and sleep and vital nutritional deficiency issues (including those related to Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2 and Magnesium deficiencies as well as iatrogenic prescription medication usage) is a major reason why psychiatric iatrogenesis is a primary contributor to the third leading cause of death in the U.S. (which is iatrogenesis in general). If the U.S. spent just a fraction of the over $40 billion each year it spends just on iatrogenic psychiatric drugs alone, for properly researching the issues discussed in this and related KZbin presentations we would probably, Lord willing, achieve an absolute revolution in medical efficacy improvement and iatrogenesis reduction.

Ok folks the bottom line is you have to stop snacking, grazing, the constant urge to stick something in your piehole. Be strong, get through a week on Keto and you will find it much easier to stop snacking. Some form of Keto snacks can help but I limit these to once a week. Even though they don't really spike insulin, they do have some extra calories I don't need, some extra fat I need to burn off meaning less of my body fat gets burned off. Be strong, Keto is not like fasting, you can eat plenty and be satisfied. Just do not snack, the period of eating nothing between meals are the most important thing.

[@andienantz]

He says that fruits as the come “from the ground” are fine for most people. Eating the entire fruit (not juiced or blitzed in a vita mix which destroys the fiber matrix) allows most of the sugars to be escorted through your small instestine because of the fiber matrix.

Maillard reactions also occur in dried fruit, fried onions, baked goods, French fries and other crisps, of malted barley as found in malt whiskey and beer, black garlic, chocolate, toasted marshmallows, and roasted peanuts. Proteins in our body glycated with excess of glucose in the bloodstream is what causes all that troubles, not dietary proteins. We do not absorb proteins, by the way. We absorb amino acids. Glycated proteins form the diet are not how we get wrinkles and cataracts. Doctor Lustig made a blunder here.

[@kassandraclinch3688]

Brown things turn brown when they go through meillard reaction. Your stomach acid destroys anything on the food. Sugar, however, helps increase the rate at which you naturally brown. Not because of its color but because it affects our chemistry. It was meant to help you understand what the meillard reaction is but he didn’t go into much detail about how it happens in your body - just that it does.

A reference for those who do no know it yet - as a complement to this very informativ video: Peter Attia MD podcast "drive" interview with Rick Johnson a nephrolog amd scientist on new findings like the evolution perspective on fructose-metabolism, the existence of ENDOGENE fructose triggered by uric acid and or hypernatriumia (need of endogene water through the denovolipogenesis pathway (wales)).. fascinating but very technical For ex. How Umami triggers endogene fructose.. how a Keto-diet could lead to NAFLD...

Sugar is bad. Sugar comes from plants.

Lustig would still be in a tenured, funding-conflicted slumber if it wasn't for the Gary Taubes' kick in the ass in 2007. GT was not a tenured endocrinologist, he was a hand-to-mouth freelance journalist.

[@wendysgarden4283]

Taubes is a hero, for sure-and a good writer.

Go on....

Neuroendocrinologist? Wtf is that? haha. What's the initial specialty that is needed to get a fellowship for that?

[@franrushie1383]

I’m looking at a plant based diet... so many people are reversing illness from sticking to a plant based Vegan plan..Animal products seem to be the problem...

[@dragonrider1467]

The problem is mixing fats and sugars at the same time. It activates the Randall Cycle. Look into it.

[@BryonLape]

Plant based diet apologist Dr. Lustig is one of the last people I'd expect on this channel. Interesting cross-over.

[@wendyscott8425]

Plant-based diet in what respect? I've heard him talk about how he likes to cook fillet mignon (so do I if it's grass-fed). He likes grass-fed meats, too. Of course, he also eats veggies and some fruits. So please explain.

[@joshuahandfinger9154]

Lustig is in no way a plant based apologist

[@mdesm2005]

poor audio and too many undefined buzzwords, too little time spend explaining some graphs. I give up 13 minutes into this.

It is a complex & complicated set of issues. It will usually (IQ=100) take many reviews of various explanations to grasp the dozens of metabolic paths that affect the ways that sugar affects our metabolism to produce a metabolic syndrome. I still find something new every time I review that metabolic flow poster. However, these 3 phrases seem a wonderful distillation of how to put DM into perspective from least to worst.

Though I enjoyed the lecture I cannot fully trust the dietary opinions of any man who defends dessert. Having been through medical school he most likely doesn't know about the healing benefits of eating raw meat and organs and if you eat enough fat and micronutrients you will not desire sweets at all and will be much healthier. He presents himself with the arrogance and condescension common of doctors and this is a major crux of the profession and why their opinions should not be taken at face value but rather examined more deeply if they are listened to at all. For a man to be addicted to dessert and act like an expert on low carb diets is dishonest, though he deserves some minor respect for admitting his addiction.

[@RealMonoid]

Wah? Lustig is addicted to dessert?

[@garzascreek]

Does anyone like dining with you?

[@overcomer4226]

When does he defend dessert???

[@thetaijicentre9704]

The point is education. Authoritarian views are universally unwanted. A democratic view is presented. Here we are presented with the evidence for the "Facts " and ultimately the choice is there. He has further expounded elsewhere on why "choices" are in fact not a black/white matter also. This research however points toward fact: cause and effect. Seriously, is it not a stretch to put forth the idea that the case Lustig argued is diminished or even that it SUPPORTS an alleged "addiction to dessert"? In any case "dessert" is an assumption about what it contains/ how much is eaten and how frequently it is consumed. It is precisely a case against quantity that triggers the metabolic adaptions for Fatty Liver! Quite the contrary, it seems that despite being an (alleged) dessert lover, this doesn't appear to discount that fatty liver is the driver for metabolic diseases.
