I love the science and evidence here. It's absolutely indisputable. However, I disagree that junk foods should be treated as rewards. Definitely as occasional foods, but surely treating them as rewards strengthens the addiction to them as our body links them to feeling good?

[@gloriagirgis]

Agree. I became healthiest in my mindset when I began looking at healthy foods as rewards. Junk foods cannot be a reward if they cause us poor health. The true reward is health and long term happiness.

[@Meandgenevieve]

We're all different. No doubt scientifically no junk food at all is best. Some people may feel overwhelmed and discouraged by the thought of total abstinence. Others may get hooked back on junk food again if they have just a little of it. However you can make your own diet better..

I quit most sugar 3 weeks ago... I should have done it 25 years ago. My productivity has skyrocketed! I really can't believe how my focus has improved. I know everyone isn't the same... but if your focus improves 1/3 as much as mine has, it'll be worth it. Since I was a kid, I've eaten candy bars and/or big bags of gummies, nearly every day. Seems pretty harmless, but over the span of 30 years, your mind/body starts to fail on several fronts. I'd had brain fog for perhaps 10 years it seems... Unreal. If you don't believe me, try sugar fasting for 2 weeks. Into the 2nd week you may feel a little down, but after week 2 your mind will pep WAY up, and you'll just be extremely energetic... an engaged focused kind of energetic.

Going shopping in a major supermarket when you are on a health journey for unadulterated foods reminds me of those little brain challenges of "can you find the rabbits hidden in this picture?" After we have found maybe half of them, (food in a produce section and meat counter) we have to look harder, (by reading labels in canned, frozen and packaged goods). We might still be missing some. The food industry puts us through an obstacle course the minute we walk through the door. Junk food is interspersed throughout the apple display (caramel coating kits, apple pie crusts) all through the veggies (sour cream dips, bacon sprinkles, vegetable snacks) and through the cheese and meat aisles (instant pizza dough, cheese in a can, chili mixes loaded in sugar, white flour buns). We are stalked at the end of each aisle with cake mixes, refined oil, snacks, cereals and candy. They say to shop on the perimeter of a store to avoid all the tainted food in the middle of the store, but they are two steps ahead of us. Even in a health food store they do it. To stay healthy, you must be selective in your viewing, eat before shopping or going to a place that will sabotage your good intentions. It's everywhere.

I am 76 and weighed 235 on March 1, 2017. After watching FOrks over knives, I vowed to never eat another animal product or processed food again. Today, May 29th, I am now 207 pounds, no longer take medication for blood pressure or diabetes or cholesterol. I am total vegan. Sugar is toxic and it will send you to an early grave. First, stop eating animal products including meat, pork, chicken, fish and dairy including milk, icecream cheese etc.Eat only plants. The first problem with eating animals is they have no fiber. When you switch to plants you will visit the toilet much more frequently and rid your body of toxins. Next, animals do not have the MICRO nutrients our bodies need to heal themselves (Let food be thy medicine - Hypocrates). Doctors do not get trained in nutrician and upon graduactioin become pawns of the pharmacudical industry. If doctors would prescibe broccoli instead of the poisons the prescribe, there would quckly become a health epidemic instead of an obesity epidemic. Anyone interested in becoming healthy (by losing 50 pounds and keeping it off) should look for plant based doctors on youtube who have been reversing heart disease and diabetes for the past three decades by switching from pills to plants. Check out Dean Ornish, Noel Fuhrman, John McDougall, Mike Greger, Caldwell Esselstyn and his Dr son Rip, Neal Barnard, Garth Davis, Alan Goldhammer, Travis Stork, 98 year old Dr. Wareham, Ted Barnes and so many others. Stop paying for your doctor's BMW and making the drug companies rich. In 2004 science finally found the proof to show that sugar is 8 times more addictive than cocain. Read your food labels and you will notice that ALL processed food contains added sugar. So do not eat processed foods. Plants will heal what is wrong with you and your teenagers. Smooties are a great substitute for sugary foods. There is a big difference between the sugar added by corporations to make money and the fruit nature provides.

vistagraphsnet meat is good for you as long as it’s organic and pasture raised. Eggs are a superfood and are packed with many micronutrients. Giving up dairy is understandable, as it can be harmful to many people and, from nature’s perspective, we aren’t really meant to consume it. Research the carnivore diet. There are plenty of people who eat nothing but meat and are very healthy. Look at eskimos: they’ve been eating strictly meat forever and they were just fine! There are studies showing that those who consume no fiber have the most regular bowl movements. Also, Forks Over Knives has some questionable science, particularly the claim that dairy acidifies the bloodstream. I’m not saying to give up your vegan diet. If it works for you than I’m all for it! But giving up all animal products isn’t necessary to live healthily. We can agree that processed food and sugar must be cut out of the diet, and I can agree that animal products can be extremely unhealthy depending on it’s processing and how the animal was raised. Best of luck too you!

I disagree with the conclusion: we should not treat junk food as a "reward". This implies that everything else you eat isn't as tasty and that you avoid junk food only because you should, instead of doing it because you want. That's not going to last. The key here is to find healthy foods which you enjoy eating. Believe me, there are plenty and there are many ways to prepare them to make them even tastier. Once you find healthy foods you like and start having them consistently, you will find yourself instinctively - not forcedly - avoiding junk food.

[@joeschmo5699]

I think the key is to practice fasting. Once you get comfortable going long periods of time without eating, the idea of a sugar snack becomes very undesirable. You seek and crave foods you know will sustain you for the next 6 to 8 to 12 hours. Even fruit becomes undesirable if you plan to go long periods without eating.

[@arimonL]

Sounds like waiting for true hunger to hit. That's great and all but don't acclimate yourself to fasting everyday either. I truly believe the problem is that people aren't eating ENOUGH. Eat more vegetables, healthy soup, lean meats, whole grains, healthy fats, and FISH. People get lazy. Don't prepare ahead of time and then you are left with unhealthy choices. Or they get wrapped up in a diet mentality.

Exactly, it decreases not increases. The more they increase, the more our perception of the world becomes HD like.

​@@EvilZeroSc It floods your brain with dopamine, causing an increase in receptors. So the number of dopamine RECEPTORS increases too. Like a drug, it then takes more and more and more dopamine to satisfy the increased number of receptors to reach the same effects, and you become desensitized to larger amounts of sugar. Sometimes it really is a bit HD like, as the growing receptors let you take more and more dopamine in. The crash after that is not fun though

treat junk food as reward? thats fail is im uncapable to controll my self

[@farhanbaig678]

Maybe im weird because i like feeling hungry. I save my hunger to control a portioned meal

[@sazzadhossain758]

Been off sugar completely and consuming a better balanced healthier diet. Bloating problems gone, have more energy, less hunger, less food need to become full, can walk an hour straight without any weakness. Do not lose weight to become healthy. Eat healthier to lose weight. And also avoid sugar and any professed foods and sodas!

[@BeingBetter]

I've started going sugar free. Today is 1 week.

[@sazzadhossain758]

@@BeingBetter also try lower carb. Some curbs are worse than sugar.

[@BeingBetter]

I'm avoiding white rice and white flour.

Thanks for sharing this! To add to this, while marketing makes you think brown sugar is more natural than white sugar, the only difference is that brown sugar is turned to white sugar by adding phosphate! And when it comes to gut health, brown and white sugar have similar effects!

[@bruceprigge5212]

Thanks! Great talk!

I was eating a icecream Snickers bar while watching this. Now I feel guilty. But not TOO guilty, because icecream Snickers bars are REALLY good. Plus, I only have them every so often. . .

Exactly, moderation

[@TRULYBLESSED38]

Thankfully I realized how bad sugar is for your mind and body that’s why I stopped completely

[@insaini87]

follow up question: how often should we reward ourselves with a sugary snack? does non sugar "junk food" have the similar effect on the brain?

[@missfilemon]

Keto diet brings down the inflammation in your body and resets your brain. Good fats are essential for your brain. I recommend intermittent fasting and extended fasting as it’s great for your body and brain.

well, ive been consuming lots of sugar on my diet.... therefore, my memory span is always undermining me. Thanks for letting me know how I can restore my memory capacity.

The fault is not sugar. Same as cigarette and alcohol. The problem is addiction.

[@fuinhaamiguinha8932]

Not eating sugar never anymore

Insulin resistance! Lower the weight will fall off.

Putting sugar in its place gets easier with time. With the impetus of poor circulation, family dying of dementia, losing vision, limbs, heart attacks all from diabetes turning your cardiovascular system into a mind field of heart attacks and stroke. I could go on but I won't. And if that's not enough the food industry knows what they're doing to us. God forgive them or Curse them to many generations 😢

[@Neophema]

I don't get this effect when eating junk food. I never really want it. I love my coffee in the morning, but I'd never ever be able to stomach a donut. I do get the dopamine rush when I exercise, though.

your brain responds to refined flour in the same way it responds to sugar.

[@lynneceegee8726]

Of course - carbs in excess (and refined carbs especially) act in the same way as sugar.

sugar is amazing. keeps my fitness on another lovel. keeps you moving. what about all the africans and asians eating lots of carbs and using white sugar in their tea. lean and healthy am I wrong?

[@youtube_username_]

Ted, watch some more videos about sugar, especially ones by Robert Lustig. Carbs are fine but added sugars are a big problem.

[@teddavidsson]

seems like this is one of the first TED talks with so many negative comments. disappointing

[@jackicrew5849]

I just had a candy bar for the first time in a long while and it feels like I am on drugs. Not quite to the point of calling the paramedics but pretty darn close. I feel like I am going 1,000 miles an hour. And to think I used to be shoving this stuff down my throat constantly. I guess I just didn't understand how dependant my body had become on this stuff.
