The Subcellular Processes That Belie All Chronic Disease. The Hateful (or Grateful) Eight

Professor Robert Lustig is speaking at Emery Pharma's speaker series.
"Good food is medicine. Bad food needs medicine" Robert Lustig
Robert H. Lustig, M.D. is Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology at University of California, San Francisco, and Director of the Weight Assessment for Teen and Child Health (WATCH) Program at UCSF.
Professor Robert H. Lustig has made significant contributions to society through his research and advocacy focused on the impact of sugar consumption on human health. He is a prominent endocrinologist and pediatrician known for his work on the adverse effects of added sugars, particularly fructose, on metabolic health and the development of chronic diseases.
Lustig's research has shed light on the role of excessive sugar intake in the obesity epidemic and its connection to conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and fatty liver disease. He has highlighted the harmful effects of sugar on various aspects of human physiology, including subcellular pathologies, insulin resistance, and the promotion of de novo lipogenesis, which contributes to the accumulation of fat in the body.
Through his lectures, public appearances, and advocacy efforts, Lustig has raised awareness about the detrimental effects of sugar on human health and has advocated for policies to reduce sugar consumption. He has emphasized the importance of recognizing added sugars as a primary contributor to chronic diseases and has called for measures to address the sugar-laden food environment and improve public health.
Lustig is also known for his concept of "The Hateful or Grateful Eight," which refers to the eight factors that contribute to metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions associated with increased risk of chronic diseases. He has provided insights into the role of nutrition, including sugar, in the development and prevention of metabolic syndrome.
Overall, Professor Robert Lustig has made substantial contributions to society by advancing our understanding of the negative impact of sugar on human health and advocating for changes in public policy and individual behaviors to promote metabolic health and prevent chronic diseases.

Thanks. Professor Robert.

[@dennysmith5284]

I've read Dd. Lustig's books, and, have researched the "controversy" surrounding him in some circles. This much I know: before I ever heard of this individual, I dropped sugar 100%, and all of my electrolytes, blood pressure, all lipid panel values immediately crashed well into the "normal" range after many years of being highly obese--and did so within weeks. So, as to the controversy, I view Dr. Lustig as follows: he may be right for the right reasons, and he may be right for the wrong reasons, but, make no mistake, he. is. right.

[@Emerypharma]

Well said !

[@GBOAC]

Could you explain the controversy? First time I hear of it.

[@dennysmith5284]

@@GBOAC Basically, the stakeholders of the status quo have a powerful voice in any human endeavor. So, the pushback is formidable by those who wish to protective their turf, their narrative, etc.... You can find them in literature and on the net, often in the comments section. With RB essentially challenging the downstream herd, (treating symptoms), in his attempt to get them upstream, (treating the cause of those symptoms), it isn't hyperbole to state that that is a pretty heft lift in the face of the gale-force winds of the status quo crowd, particularly clinicians in healthcare. Gr8 weekend.

It's mind boggling how people like to put their capital and/or leisure interests above their long term health. Let alone that of other people, god forbid we would prevent obesity by removing easy access to carbohydrates. Thanks and have a great weekend as well.

Since 12th February 2023,I stopped eating 1. Table Sugar 2. Rice ( All types) 3. Bakery Products ( Refined Carbohydrates) 4. Flavored Drinks ( Nescafé, Nestea etc ) 5. Soda drinks ( Coca Cola, Sprite, Fanta etc..) & also adapted to a 12 hour Fasting at Night. Recorded Fasting Blood Glucose Every Morning and graphed with excel & monitored the fluctuations & managed to maintain it two months average of 96.5 mg/dl. Meanwhile I Increased intake of Protein (Chicken, Fish, Eggs,Salmon), Olive oil & Green Leafy Veggies (Mainly Cauliflower, Beans, Okra, Brokali & Parsley). During the day I had some milk with added coffee and dark chocolates ( 50% of Cocoa made in Sri Lanka) & occasionally had some curd with one or two teaspoons of Honey. My HBA1c dropped from 9.3 to 4.7 by 1 st May 2023 (Within exactly 78 days). ALT (AGST) dropped from 38.9 to 12.7. Weight lost 8.7 Kg. My BMI is exactly 22. I am so happy to bring down My HBA1c to None Diabetic level ( < 5.7) without any doctor fees, Prescription Drug Costs, Unnecessary Lab Report Fees & without time wasting. Meantime, I got my Lipid Profile, eGFR (Kidney Function Test), Complete Liver Profile, Full Blood Count & Specially the C - Peptide Report that measured the functionality of pancreas & all reports are almost perfect (No deviation from recommended values ).

I call it a grocery cart problem. When I get to the checkout I see that 90% of the carts are full to the top with stuff that shocks the living smell out of me. I honestly don't understand how anybody in this smart world with such easy access to stoves and pots and pans along with fresh, raw healthy food to indulge in, and yet the shoppers love their 24 packs of soda pop, beer, chips, dips, packaged white flour breakfast lunch and dinner crap. My cart has a small fresh farm in it! I'm 82, weigh 115 pounds. On no meds. I can walk all day, dance all night and run a small business. I am one in a million and it's very lonely. Junk-food addicts just love the acceptance they get from loving brand names and their junk food-induced doctor-visit games. Doctors approve of your sick appetites. I wish I were wrong. But they're all on meds and I'm not. So there you go! So sad..

Thank you for your input. I agree 1000%. I’m even shocked that some Drs don’t want to stop the commerce and advertising for pharmaceuticals. I’m hoping this team is not of them.😢

[@mortenthorpe]

It’s a super easy explanation… while somewhat amplified and simplified speaking, sugar in food IS akin to narcotics for the druggies… we choose it from our subliminal emotional brain, not from our educated rational brain. Our emotional brain, unfortunately also prefers being lazy, so having stuff pre-made is yet another call to our addiction control center… I think knowing when to submit to the emotional response or not, is much more the answer, than flaming people for just submitting (as you observe it)… and in this sense, I’m going way out on a limb, and going to call the people who just submit for non-adults in this sense… they never learned the rewards of postponed benefits, rather than immediate ones.

He knew nothing about the "good old boys club" where men do not inform on executives. I have had a passion for medicine my entire life. I curred my high school best friend of his diabetes within 2.5 years by his food and exercise. I watch my salt intake and sugar intake.

I have watched the father of a friend for 15 years. He eats a crap diet of sweets, has a gigantic beer belly and never exercises. His doctor NEVER talked to him about metabolic dysfunction. His wife had her lower intestines removed due to IBS. 2 years later the doctors removed his lower intestines. Really????? He has been in a wheelchair for 2 years. Today he is in the hospital to begin amputation of his left toe. They want to take his leg. The doctors have him on antibiotics and a suger bag. They brought him crap ultra processed fake foods to eat. I have seen this soooooo many times. If the doctor shows while I visit him in the hospital I will lose it on him. I have read Dr Lustigs work. He is 💯 percent correct. In fact I'm a bit worried about Dr. Lustigs health. He knows he's not taking care of himself and we need him to carry on!

[@marcv2648]

Yes metabolic dysregulation is huge. However it’s food addiction to starch, sugar and processed foods that must be overcome and mastered. We have a sick relationship with food, along with misinformation addiction and dysfunctional family systems. You cannot fix the damage of dysfunctional family systems and emotional trauma with healthy eating. You must deal with the core emotional issues as well. Come on doc, mitochondrial function has its role but these emotional issues have to be dealt with.

... With the body not distinguishing between physical, chemical-, and emotional stress... There may be more hormones involved, but from what I've picked up: Weight gain is mainly hormonally driven by excretion of Cortisol & Insulin, as well as a lack of Vitamin D, which induces the winter syndrome. There also is the matter of producing fat for storage of fat soluble toxins from food, water, etc.
