The Dangers of Fructose & Uric Acid - with Dr. Richard Johnson | The Empowering Neurologist EP. 142

Fructose and Uric Acid - What Once Helped Us Survive Now Poses an Existential Threat
The interest in uric acid, well beyond its role in gout, focusing on its pivotal role in metabolic issues, is expanding rapidly, and globally. Without question, one important reason for this new understanding is the work of Dr. Richard Johnson, professor of medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
Dr. Johnson has an exciting new book entitled, Nature Wants Us to be Fat. We will be discussing his new book today on the podcast. As many of you will note, this is Dr. Johnson’s second appearance on the program and we will consider this to be an important “part two,” picking up where we left off last time in his brilliant elucidation of this newly discovered, central player in metabolic diseases, uric acid.
On a personal note, over the past year I’ve gotten to know Rick very well, and I absolutely cherish our newfound friendship.
I also explore uric acid it in my new book, Drop Acid, but to be clear, the incredible body of research belongs to Dr. Johnson. And this is the reason that readers of my new book will note that it is dedicated to Dr. Johnson as my way of honoring him for his incredible body of research that clearly is helping, and will continue to help so many people moving forward.

Richard J. Johnson, M.D. has been a practicing physician and clinical scientist for over 25 years. He is internationally recognized for his seminal work on the role of sugar and its component fructose, in obesity and diabetes. His work has also suggested a fundamental role for uric acid (which is generated during fructose metabolism) in the metabolic syndrome. Dr Johnson is a prolific scientist with research that has been funded by the National Institute of Health since the 1980s. He is a member of the American Society for Clinical Investigation and has published over 700 papers, lectured in over 45 countries, and is a highly cited scientist. He previously authored The Sugar Fix with Timothy Gower in 2008 (Rodale) and The Fat Switch in 2012. He is currently a Professor of Medicine at the University of Colorado in Denver. He lives in Aurora, Colorado with his wife, Olga, children, Ricky and Tracy, and two miniature golden doodles, Charlie Brown and Apollo 11.

@@DavidPerlmutterMD So, I've watched about 200 of your videos. I am a 'victim' or a 'product' of 'KZbin'. KZbin is a advertising delivery vehicle that descends the modern human intellect into a less than 5 second sound bite, and then it moves on for fear for of being abused by the KZbin advertising cycle. I know what you're thinking 'Dr' David, Gabe, KZbin is a gang of murderous pedophiles that are the greatest threat to human existence is you have so well proved over two decades, but, we both know chads like you don't care about the future of humanity at all, or you'd already be working to 'End the Drug War' Today, when you figure that out... #ToldYouSo But, back to my point, I have watched 200 of your videos, I still have no idea what Uric acid. How to optimize my died for it. Why I should have interest other than the trend. If you can make a five minutes video along these lines. 1. This is what Uric acid, how it's produced and what you should care. 2. This is how to moniter 3. This is how to optimize. If you can do that in five seconds. I can prevent the next rape and murder that you are causing being a moron chad instead of trying to figure after 200 videos, is this Uric thing worth trying to figure if this guy can't make his point succinctly? Let me know if and when you do make it succinctly, because being the only human being working against you moron chads destroying the planet, is hard enough without trying to figure you out.

[@jodydavison33]

I find this especially fascinating because I was a patient of an endocrinologist who used uricosuric drugs to treat fibromyalgia and the related chronic fatigue syndrome aka myalgic encephalomyelitis. The ATP cycle is at the core of our disease. My doctor is now retired but I continue using his treatment, the guaifenesin protocol, which works by attaching to receptors in the kidneys and allowing calcium phosphate to be eliminated via urine. I am in my 15th year of this treatment and it is surprisingly effective. Dr. R. Paul St. Amand is his name. I must avoid topical products such as lotions and soap containing salicylates in a strong enough concentration to block the receptors in the kidneys.

@@jodydavison33 It seems salycilates can be converted from oxalates in the body as well, so one should try to keep their diet devoid of oxalates and salycilates . Bananas , Rice and Garlic are probably the only foods low in both. Ideally a carnivore diet would be even better.

[@lindabirmingham603]

I was put on guaifenesin for fibro 30 about years ago. Sadly, my doctor didnt know about oxalates and salicylates. I took it for a year and it didnt seem to make a difference. I have been a lifelong carboholic until a year ago when I started keto. But I unknowingly loaded up on oxalates via almond flour, almond butter, spinach, dark chocolate, and black tea! I have been carnivore for almost 3 months and feel better mentally and physically than I have in my entire life! I buy oil based hand made soaps and make body butter. I was not aware of salicylates in soaps and creams. Hoping mine aren't loaded with them! I also drink a few cups of coffee a day. Thanks for the info!

Great info on fructose. I almost bought the book until I read reviews that said to avoid red meat and saturated fat.

Is there any correlation to early Alzheimer's and dementia symptoms say for instance those in their late 40s and early 50s with uric acid and possibly high glucose intake throughout their life, dietary consistencies, perhaps higher than average fructose or soda intake versus possibly a sibling that might have a similar genetic predisposition but did not become symptomatic...hmmmm

[@energeticsoulhealer888]

He's confusing salt, healthy sea salt, with sodium in processed food. There's a massive difference. Also, is he referring to fructose in fruit, or high fructose corn syrup? I'm assuming the latter... it's important to differentiate to convey this VERY important information. Thank you for this great podcast!

[@savvybytes3748]

Fruit is over hybridized for sweetness and people consume it out of season as it is flown in from all over the globe. It is nothing like what apes ate and only in the late summer and fall. People eat fruit instead of vegetables quite frequently and think they’re eating a healthy diet. Because there is no fiber, fruit juice is even worse and it doesn’t matter that it’s not high fructose corn sweetener. The fact is that fructose is only processed in the liver because it’s so toxic to mitochondrial function is important… Of course high fructose corn sweetener is a much more concentrated form. Just a reminder that sucrose, white sugar, is 50% fructose.

[@1charlastar886]

Most 'sea salt' is also highly processed. The international codex definition of 'sea salt' is ocean salt that has had minerals removed so that it is 98% or greater sodium chloride. Healthy salt such as Celtic, Redmond or baja gold have many naturally occurring minerals that get chemically stripped so they can be sold at higher prices. Our body needs those minerals to function properly.

[@DominikKristek]

Fruit as well. Also fruit should be seasonal, mostly for fattening yourself for the winter. And in the Peter Attia podcast they talked about Juices as well, apple juice is like cola without bubbles. :) Orange juice cointains 2/3 of what cola or apple juice does. So pretty nasty stuff when you take out the "package" instead of eating whole fruit. So basically be careful with fruit, if you need to watch sugar intakes for health reasons. Especially grapefruits.

[@1charlastar886]

@@DominikKristek Well noted. The fruit of today is NOT the fruit of our ancestors. I grew up on a farm where we had several varieties of wild fruits, some of which could be eaten, others so bitter they were not fit for consumption. They contained a fraction of the sugar of their domestic, commercial fruit relatives of today.

[@whoisbhauji]

[@lindabirmingham603]

Problem with A1c is that it only measures glycation on the cells from glucose, not fructose. Fructose is 8x more glycating than glucose.

Sodium from processed food is the same as sodium from unprocessed food. There's nothing inherently wrong about processed food.

Also Dr Shawn Baker, Dr Ken Berry, and Dr Anthony Chaffee discuss this. He has lost credibility in the Carnivore Community. Honey has more fructose than high fructose corn syrup. Since fructose feeds dopamine it triggers carb cravings. For those who come to ketogenic or carnivore diet to heal, it is sabotaging. Paul doesn't realize that fructose is as much as a plant toxin as the ones found in plants: oxalates, phytates, tannins, lectins, etc.

If we titrate ourselves with a certain amount of fructose or even glucose, can you tell me where that inflection endpoint is with respect to the amount of fructose separately and of the amount of glucose we can in general consume each day so that our bodies in general will not start producing more uric acid? I know that you, Dr. Perlmutter has strongly suggested that we don’t consume any “sugar” at all but I just think that’s an impossibility for pragmatic reasons because some form of carbohydrates are usually packed away in most foods I think. Tell me if I’m in error though. And I understand as Dr. Lustig, MD endocrinologist would say in his broadcast, that even if someone can avoid all carbohydrates such as the eskimoes in the arctic tunda, their bodies will still convert some of the blubber fat from whales to glucose via denovo gluconeogenisus and they still will have an appreciable amount of glucose in their bloodstreams as well. I just am extremely curious of how much fructose in grams per day would be acceptable? And the same question goes for glucose. Assuming that the individual has no insulin resistance or any evidence of type 1,2 or 3 diabetes. Your talks have enlightened my understanding of our important metabolic pathways very much and it also caused me to change my selection of foods and the amount of exercise we require each day to minimize the amount of uric acid production when food & water is available now.
