The BITTER TRUTH About Sugar & How It CAUSES DISEASE! | Dr. Robert Lustig

[@cookingfun6245]

This was very informative. Thank you. Today I'm down 135 lbs. I started a year ago. Learning more about this Science has changed my life. My doctor could care less. I asked her what do you think about my 100 lbs weight loss. She said. Did you lose that much. She looked at her computer to see my highest weight and said. Oh wow. You did. Congratulations.... then lectured me on why I should be taking a statin. Going from an a1c of 8.5 to 6. Triglycerides 295 to 70. Cholesterol 190 to 168. Doctors aren't our friends PS: Update 11/20/23 - My most recent labs show my A1C is 5.7. Cholesterol is 157, triglycerides 74. HDL 55 and LDL 88. My A1C was 9.9 in 2018. Doctors always said I would never reverse my diabetes. The seed they planted was true in my mind. I lived behaving I couldn't change my illness. These doctors speak the truth. Sugar, processed foods, bad eating habits are killing us. Food is medicine. Also, don't believe the governments lies about the Standard American Diet. Low fats and carbohydrates leads to illness and death.

I joined the Virta program. It's keto based. I have doctors and coaches helping me. I've learned to use my macros better. More fats and proteins with less than 30 carbs. I eat and feel satiated. My coworkers tell me how I eat so much and lost all the weight. I did it in front of them over a year so they believe me. I learned how my body reacts to food

The problem wasn't sugar. It was junk food(suger COMBINED with fat, and artificial crap. And lack of nutrients) (Lustig isn't sincere; he's chronically fat)

[@minichanz]

@@GaryHighFruit wow

[@christinam777]

@GaryHighFruit sugar is a huge problem. You need to do more research. Lol its the root if almost all disease. It feeds candida which affects everything in our health when out of balance, sugar causes inflammation and insulin resistance amd everything else. Its a problem when high fructose corn sugar is added to tons of foods. Junk food us usually processed carbs which are the nearly the same impact as sugar. You cant say one is a problem and the other isnt.

I haven't eaten sugar since 2018, and I feel totally different. The bitter fruits or veggies don't have this strong bitterness. Bitter herbs like wormwood are not so bitter like 5 years ago when I started drinking. My brain is really working differently, faster, better concentrated, I see colors clearer and intense, I'm not stressed anymore, no panic attacks, less stomach problems etc etc....I have thought out from my diet gluten and lactose. No more unexpected diarrhea in my life 😆. Of course, I'm still taking other supplements, but the good one, and I feel amazing. People, please open up your eyes🙏Wake up!

[@Erica-t2u]

I'm so addicted to sugar, snacks, I eat candy bars and cookies in the middle of the night. I am trying to stop, because I have lupus.

[@curiouscat3384]

@@Erica-t2uI know the frustration. I used to get in the car at 10pm every other night to get a pint of Ben&Jerry's then ate the whole thing in bed. On opposite nights I'd eat a large loaded pizza in bed after 7pm (violating all the dieting rules). I got a grip on it gradually by eating large, super nutritious meals and trying to eat by 5-6pm. Eventually the extreme cravings went away. I still avoid the freezer aisle in the grocery store and sometimes after dinner I have mild cravings so I eat a handful of salted nuts or sunflower seeds or a block of hard cheese - just something that has more protein and less sugar. Don't expect to quit suddenly - just give more attention to what you're eating all day. Plan a high protein menu of your total recommended calories for your ideal weight. Eat meat and vegetables and fat for meals. You'll be surprised how different you'll feel after a dinner of 8oz beef steak or burger. Check out Dr. Ken Berry's Monday night live Q&A and then watch all his other videos on low carb lifestyle and nutrition. You CAN do it! Lots of testimonials around KZbin.

[@sunnyadams5842]

​@@Erica-t2uI understand that. The cravings and total sugar pig-outs in the middle of the night were a REAL PROBLEM for me too! Then I nearly choked on hard candies in my sleep two nights in a row! Duhhhhh!! Something had to change. I'm a mental health practitioner, not an expert on the physical, so I'm not advising this, just saying it seems to have worked for me- I now put cheese cubes by my bed for that late night assault. No sugar and no choking!! 😂😂😂 My understanding is that our liver purges at about 4am (if we are going down around 11 or midnight) so we get a prompt that something has changed dramatically in our body and needs attention, but the message we get is distorted by habitual response. I grabbed sugar. Now I believe protein is a better response. I STILL can't seem to sleep when hungry AT ALL....OH WELL...We do what we can.❤😂🎉 Keep Working it, kids! A little bit is better than none.

It's terribly interesting and we've been put on some version of the American National Diet for the past 50 years.

My husband of 27yrs & I cut out sugar & bad carbs, basically keto, on December 30th 2022. Our bodies began changing quickly after the initial water weight loss & keto flu (first 2 weeks). Then the next few months were incredible!! Losing weight, gaining muscle (strength training, rowing, lifting weights), plus our energy levels, mindfulness, clarity, stamina, moods, overall we’ve never felt nor looked as good! We’re committed for the remainder of our lives! 6mths in he went from 205 lbs to 167 lbs! I went from 133 lbs to 106 lbs! We’re both extremely lean & back to our weights from high school when we first met. We’ve changed all the flours & sugars & pantry staples in our home to keto. Now our youngest daughter (age 24) is joining in and she’s already lost weight & feeling better! I’ll never understand how people can watch these videos & still choose the twinkies over the homemade keto cheesecake. We feel so much better & enjoy learning to cook healthy meals plus bake Keto desserts, as well as learning the importance of vitamins & supplements.

[@thehealthinsight4587]

this guy is THE BOMB. Dr. Lustig explains the MECHANISM and not just tells us what's good and bad --- !!!! thanks so much for this interview, Mark.

[@BigWally]

Dr. Hyman needs to let Dr. Lustig speak!

[@le_journal_de_natalie]

I finished watching this interview and the recurring thought in my mind is that this is great, fantastic and such a good encompassing clear picture of the underlying issue. However, we need a presentation on this targeted at kids directly. I have an MSc in Biomedical Sciences so my 12 year old knows quite a bit about biology, but there’s no way that he is going to listen to a talk that is more than an hour long on this. Our kids are not dumb. They need to be educated directly and they will not necessarily listen to their parents. We need them to understand this themselves so that they can have the insight to know what they are putting into their mouths and can make their own educated decisions. Even medics and scientists who know that sugar is bad are consuming it on a large scale because the addiction is so deeply ingrained and normalized in society. The adults/parents are not equipped to wage this war even if they want to. So my plea to Dr Hyman and Dr Lustig is: Please make a basic presentation for kids, maybe for different age groups even. There’s a gap in information transfer here and it’s the information that we need to feed to our kids. Once the understanding comes, there’s a better chance that there will be willingness on their part to change their behavior. Roll this out in schools even. Let biology teachers show this in class. And please don’t make this targeted at US audience only. There really is such a thing as the rest of the world.

Dropped seven prescription drugs I was supposed to be on for life. By cutting out processed foods and processed sugar. Not to mention I lost forty pounds as well. I have kept it off for eleven years. This is not easy to do, although it is definitely possible for those who are willing to commit to the process. After you get on a healthy eating program, you must learn to retrain the way you think about sugar and processed foods. This was something I had to fight daily for about three years! Until I retrained myself mentally not to desire the the destructive foods in my mind. You can do this also, but it will require a fight.

[@Moose185]

I’m trying this just now but it’s so hard!! Everyday I think about the sugar foods.

[@Brian-rs4ug]

@@Moose185 It will be that way for about three weeks until you get the processed sugar and processed foods out of your system. From that point forward, you will need to train your mind (daily) NOT to go back to eating those kind of foods. The toughest part is retraining yourself to eat healthy foods daily UNTIL it becomes a lifetime habit. Most people go back to comfort foods under stress. Plan in advance, how you are going to solve this problem BEFORE it happens. I removed all the junk food out of my cub bards/house and only allowed healthy foods in the home. This helped so much!

Informative, far ranging and "digestible" content for the layman. Being new to the true metabolic relationship of the Western diet to our bodies, I am stunned there hasn't been an uprising in this country to make the changes we need for our health, especially our children's health. The reason? There is no money in telling the truth, so most people are unaware of what we put into our mouths and how it affects our health. Social media is where I get so much information about how my body interacts with the food I eat and, despite its drawbacks, it is a powerful tool for getting the word out, this conversation as a prime example.

I've had a periodic high blood pressure issue since my pregnancies in my 20s. I also was advised by medical professionals to eat high carb low fat, consequently got very overweight. I worked for a doctor a couple years and noticed newly diagnosed patients advised to lower salt intake came back a week later with higher bp. Figured out there and then salt didn't obviously cause hbp as I'd been told all my adult life. Took another couple decades to figure out the lie of the high carb low fat way of eating was a giant lie, thanks Ancel Keyes and the wealthy parasites that hired him to promote the lie. Medical doctors only know medication and everything they do is to diagnose for prescriptions. If you fall for it. My son was diagnosed this week with diabetes. The nurse practitioner of course prescribed metformin, but after I said shouldn't he just change his diet said yes. I will be looking into metformin which seems benign but I believe causes other issues, like all medication does.

High vegetable intake if you can take it. if not, just have a few. Or find ones you like. Don't force it if you hate it today. Later on you may like the veg.

Berg is a chiropractor and a scientologist. He encourages ketosis which is linked with depression and hairloss, hugely in women. I have a son with Type 1, being in ketoacidosis is very dangerous believe me, studies show long term ketosis can trigger it. I'm all for cutting refined sugar and fructose, but Berg can do one and jog on. You might be interested in what his own son thinks of him. I'm only interested in what the actual educated experts have to say, like Lustig.

He also doesn’t promote in the slightest Scientology in any of his appearances, for as far as I’ve seen them. I‘ve seen a Skype podcast by his son some months ago. I can’t even recall the content, so insignificant it must have been. No child abuse or torture chambers reported in them.

Doc Lustig is a serious science based investigator that deserves a 'Hero of the World' medal. Hyman, he's ok but I wish he would stop with the 'not clever wise cracks' and quit interrupting with his goof-ball remarks. I quit watching Hyman sometime ago but Lustig is so important that I'll put up with Mark. I now get most of my useful information about nutrition and exercise from Dr. Ted Naiman & Doug McGuff plus a few others here and there. Mark, if nothing else, helped me get on a path of investigation that has lead to wonders for my 75 yr old body's health & strength. I have a bio age roughly around 50 to 55 and shrinking. Well, actually I just hoping that's its shrinking. Thx Mark & huge kudos to Dr. Lustig.

This was a fantastic interview with Dr. Lustig, the first time I have heard about him before, and I bought his book. It seems the more one learns, outside of the common narrative, the more one learns how money and lies have contributed to disease, drug pushing, and death. Thank you for this information.

[@EPA_Deficiency_Syndrome]

Fantastic podcast. I totally believe sugar (fructose), corn (HFCS) and soy (Omega-6) are the sources of most health problems. I think the arachidonic acid/EPA ratio drives systemic inflammation and recent clinical trials with Omega-3 EPA reducing cardiovascular disease 25% proves the “foodable” solution and that we have what I call “EPA deficiency syndrome” as a result of processed foods. So much good info in this podcast. I cut out fructose, used intermittent fasting and take 4gms of pure EPA and my health drastically improved. Food, not drugs, are the solution (and I am a pharmacist)

I've had low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) since I was a kid. My brother, just the opposite. He is type 1 diabetic. Over the years, every time I'd check my bs with his glucometer it would show below 60 and he would be surprised. Sometimes it would even just say Lo when I was feeling bad. After being a firefighter in good shape for 25 years our department made us all do blood work due to toxic chemical exposures. All clear except my ldl couldn't be measured. My triglycerides were over 900. Hdl was good. Doc tried to put me on statins and said it was genetic, nothing could be done about it since I am not overweight. I got a RX for omega 3 acid ethyl ester and immediately stopped eating bread, fruits, and vegetables. I cut out as much sugar as possible. I eat a carnivore type diet consisting mostly of fatty fish, beef, and bacon. My triglycerides are now down under 150, ldl and hdl are good. I also take krill oil.. Everyone should try to adjust their diet before taking the prescriptions the docs are pushing. My doc said it was impossible to fix triglycerides with diet.

I am a big fan of this guy and bought his book. My only pause on what he says, is our need for fiber. I went fiber free 28 months ago. So far, I have only had continued improvements in digestion and metabolic health. I think the microbiome research is still quite fresh. I am still on the lookout for some sort of negative from starving my microbiome of ANY fiber. None yet.

[@josephhuether1184]

I find the history of much of this quite interesting. I grew up in northwest New Jersey in the 1950s, 60s and 70s. There was an enormous amount of farmland in that specific region that was “converted” to suburbia during the post WW2 period as industrial scale farming became more regionalized and…presumably… the American caloric production industry transitioned more towards transportable processed foods. One might say that urban planning, in the form of highway construction, suburban expansion and loss of diverse regional farmland may have also contributed to where we are today. Most pre-war cities had farmlands that “fed” their regional populations. This wasn’t universal across the board as some globalization always existed and the age of railroads permitted long distance transportation of commodities such as beef, pork, wheat and even dairy products. The question I always have is “what happened in 1980”? And by 1980 I really mean 1970-1985 because I really feel like the country hit a tipping point around then. As I child I recall consuming quite a bit of sugar as did my childhood pals. Nevertheless, it seems many of us were healthier than the children described as being “typical” today.

[@mj625]

In 1980, the FDA came out with their new food pyramid. Prior to this date, it didn't exist. It was based on falsified data put together by Ancel Keys, which wrongly emphasized more carbohydrates needed to be included in the American diet rather than saturated fat. This mistake can be attributed to the early death of many thousands of people.

[@eriwendikhaila]

I was born in 1964 so I grew up in the 1970s and early 1980s. Two things come to mind. (1) when did they start substituting HFC Syrup for sugar. (2) when did moms enter the work force full time and this needing convenience food?

[@josephhuether1184]

@@eriwendikhaila Read Gary Taubes. HFCS really entered the American food-stream in the mid-70s and it was a gift to corn producers and the entire food industry at large. It was cheaper than cane and beet-based sucrose and could be easily added to a whole array of foods that were offered as “low-fat”. I was born in 1955 and conveniences foods were around my whole life in one form or another. My mother worked and we were latchkey kids. The ice cream truck came around every night. We drank plenty of Hawaiian Punch, and High-C. Taubes talks about this but I think this whole process started right after WW2 and the genetic predisposition to develop high insulin levels has been growing each generation. Not good.

[@nataliajimenez1870]

Eliminate sugar from your diet, including fruit juices (just eat small amounts of whole fruits like 1 apple or pear at the end of a meal). Processed foods tend to have added sugars like high fructose corn syrup so eliminate them too. Then eliminate all grains and flours since they are metabolized as glucose and they increase your insulin. Your best bet is eating a diet centered around whole foods, particularly non-processed meat, eggs and seafood accompanied by non-starchy vegetables. Check your blood glucose levels several times a day to determine what foods spike your blood glucose too much. Include daily movement (walking is ok. Adding some weights while walking help to build muscle which is essential for older folk)

But just learning about all the processes in the body and exactly how sugar affects these, really helps to confirm my findings on eating sugar and why it makes me feel like it does.
