I love the self soothing comment, as a carnivore who has totally quit 99% of all carbohydrates the biggest problem I corrected with this lifestyle is that I no longer drink alcohol. I believe alcohol addiction is a subset of sugar addiction because without sugar you cannot ferment anything into alcohol.
Thank you for this discussion. 5 years ago Dr.Lustig changed my life and compelled me to avoid processed foods, refined carbs, and especially refined sugars and I'd rather smoke a cigarette than consume anything with corn syrup and I owe it all to Dr. Lustig. Cognition,focus, and general awareness improved dramatically. I feel more present and in the moment. My sense of taste returned to norrmal and healthy foods taste better, while unhealthy foods taste worse and ny sleep improved DRAMATICALLY snd if it only improved my sleep, Id still avoid sugar and processed foods because 6 hours of sleep now feels like 8 hours before i changed my dietary choices. When your sleep improves, everything improves.
great talk, listened twice, the description of the school lunches being loaded with sugar is truly horrifying, I hope Dr Lustig's crusade helps many kids avoid a lifetime of obesity and sugar addiction
He asked her specifically about what individuals can do to get off sugar, and then she went on a tangent about schools, and then the question was completely lost, and never addressed. The whole point of this presentation would be to give us tools, step by steps, to break a sugar addiction. There was some good information here, but not really a guide at all.

thank you both and the club for the informative and inspiring content.
I would much prefer a practical point by point program of how to make meaningful change at home by the individual. Give me a satisfying menu.
Dr. Avena's book Sugar Less has recipes and more step-by-step advice.
My kids grew up sugar free, nothing out of a bottle or a can, all fresh produce or whole grains and meat. They were in great health, until college!
College ruins kids in more ways than one today! Corrupts bodies and minds
I need to follow up on even and odd saturated fats theory 😅
Carmelization is not the same as Mallard reaction! It should be explained to the audience
Plant based iron is more safe than heme animal iron
