- Reclaim Your Brain: Keynote Presentation
May 8, 2019, London, UK
Robert Lustig, MD, MSL, Professor of Pediatrics at the University of California, unravels how the brain’s ‘reward’ system has been hijacked by junk food and technology, leading to the twin epidemics of addiction and depression. Dr. Lustig is the author of the New York Times best selling book Fat Chance: The Bitter Truth About Sugar, as well as his most recent book, The Hacking of The American Mind: The Science Behind the Corporate Takeover of Our Bodies and Brains.
Part of the Food for the Brain Seminar Series.

Think I have seen all this wonderful mans lectures.
He has saved my life
When I fall off the wagon I watch one of his videos and they help motivate me again
Wish I could see him live
Oh my goodness , I thought I was the only one, I listen to him all the time, especially when I have bad days
Good luck in finding good health, mine is a very hard journey.
Yes VERY thankful for the truth- we will get there. The journey is real.
This should be mandatory viewing in every school, college, and medical center in the United States.
On it, but I can only show it to my students.
*in the entire world, not just USA.
@@prashanthb6521 Very true.
In Ireland too, in every country. This knowledge and information should be set free.
@@alexanderrehfeldt1280 Doing so to my students as well...let me know how it goes.
Dr. Lustig, I appreciate your intellect and courage. I can only imagine the difficulties you've experienced in treating your young patients and their families. The numbers you presented are heart breaking.
How can I 1000+ like this video? It definitely deserves to be a mandatory view for everyone who cares about health.
This was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING information. You just provided A BUNCH of pieces of the puzzle that I felt like I was missing to sort myself out. Thank you so much for your work & speaking the truth Dr. Lustig!
So I have a suggestion, instead of forcing students in the public system to study subjects like gender studies or other soft sciences, how about courses on nutrition?
Why do they have to be mutually exclusive?
Unfortunately, nutrition is a "soft science." We've got about 150 years of industrialized marketing and propaganda as evidence of that. With big money, you can try to make the science show what you want it to show. If that doesn't work, just keep repeating big lies. Money drives everything.
In a perfect world, every child would learn the theory of evolution in school. From there, they would learn that all life is descended from previous life and all life is connected. Hopefully an appreciation that humans are just another animal that follows the laws of biology. And we are a "special" species in that we are the only animal that pre-processes and cooks our food. If we let industry do the cooking for us, well, that's when the trouble starts.
Excellent information. Thank you Doctor
Over $3b per year is spent on candy bars per year.
can't wait for his next book; really hoping there is a next one :)
There is a next book on the way
Best holistic health promoting talk I have come across. Thank you! Any tips on how the 4Cs can be implemented for a teenager already addicted to smartphones, processed foods and stays up all night data consuming?
The audio for this video is SO BAD. The information is great. Very interesting talk.
Doesn't help that the room is excessively "live", acoustically, and that someone is COUGHING, as seems usual for these recordings.
Just play the audio via a USB speaker.
The microphone he kept brushing against was horrible, but is no problem when not leaning on the podium. I've heard worse--and i'm picky on audio.
The colors red and yellow together (Next to each other) stimulate the Hunger sensation.
Thank you Dr Lustig for your great work!
Facts backed by Data ! Powerful stuff! Absolutely love this Dude ! Keep spitting the truth as it cannot be ignored for long !
45:50 In your lectures, you compare the metabolism of glucose, fructose, and ethanol. What about galactose and sugar alcohols? Are they benign or toxic?
I don't know why youtube decided to show a 240p quality of this video while other videos are playing in full 480p in my laptop. Hope it is just a co-incidence.
Why treat salt loss with drugs, instead of salt?
The increase in sugar consumption just refers to the sugar industry and corn syrup industry. It does not address the many forms of sugar, which go by 61 different names. And this also does include refined flours (wheat, corn flour, corn starch, other refined flours) which break down in the mouth (enzymes in saliva) into sugar. I don't know if they will show a graph with the increase in white flour products or not, as I stopped the video temporarily to write this.
Nailed it
Combine that with the work around mewing, forward growth, palate expansion and you got some of the healthiest humans of history
Funny how he's saying this in the UK, when Recently UK doctors have been putting type 2 diabetes, and no alcoholic fatty liver disease patients into remission by modifying their diet and there have been more studies to the point that mainstream diabetes organizations are recommending it. They are also seeing a lowering of triglycerides and increasing HDL the good cholesterol so it also decreases heart disease risk. They have done this by their patients cutting out as much sugar and starches/ carbs as possible in their diet. And it has led to them losing weight significantly as well.
Great to hear that somewhere on the planet has begun to address the problem. Of course the companies will fight this to the bitter end.
wow this study about the kids where all processed fructose was replaced by processed starch is unbelievable. I have to look up the daily calories they consumed in the end, because from listening it seems they had to consume more than maintenance in order to keep weight.
slide at 5:39 - 6:15 is wrong according to spoken words. $10,000 per each not 1,000.
Dr. Michael Greger's Daily Dozen app certainly does work, but it's only a reminder of what to eat each day for best nutrition, and handy for shopping too. It simply lets you track what Daily Dozen (it's more than twelve) items you consume each day (it also tallies exercise, water, and necessary supplements. I like it, but I was already committed to and eating better for a few years before I used the app. There's also information about each food group or item explaining more about serving sizes and best sources and similar.
All the information and sources for his opinions are free and readily accessed at NutritionFacts.com. It's non-profit and his book profits are all donated to charities.
The compelling expert witness. I wonder what type of expert witness the processed food and beverage industry would call to the stand.
They just deny and repeat tiny facts that they use to lead others to inferences and they've got the best paid coaches ever. Watch the USDA guidelines committee hearings that were published recently. I'm afraid it's not what they say in hearings or on trial, but what boats and planes and islands get traded in the back rooms for "decisions" to be made.
I have been educated, thank you
I wish this was part of the current conversation but it's not!

Share this lecture on Facebook and any other platform you can and wake people the F up. Imagine having this information 20 or 30 years ago!
Dear Robert. ....I can't thank you enough for educating us on what is really going on with our food....I have INSTANTLY started a REAL FOOD diet and it's great....you should be given a medal ! If you were living in the UK I would see to it that you got a knighthood!
Can I ask if real bread using the whole grain with the fibre can still be equated in the "food with fibre" stance? I know that eating 100% rye bread as I do will increase my insulin, so does this have an adverse effect on the liver ?

You should be given the award of life. Literally, for saving lives
Great talk save for the political statements.
I disagree. It was the perfect opening. That you think otherwise points to how deep and entrenched your hacking has progressed.
Something happened to my brain four years ago, and now I have basically permanent sleep maintenance insomnia. It has drastically reduced my quality of life, and CBTI hasn't even been able to dent it. 6 hours of sleep is a _good_ night for me. And all I keep hearing is how critical sleep is to health. I'm kinda boned.
Decalcify your actual brain by drinking distilled water and try the Wim Hof Breathing Method ! Changed my life !
I have no idea whether yor insomnia is due to the similar causes as mine, but;
I've had insomnia for years and recently tried fasting (last time 3 weeks with only water) and my insomnia kind of miraculously disappeared, for the first time. It wasn't an effect I had expected or had even thought about beforehand (I had just wanted to lose weight - and I'm far from obese). But for the first time in a while I was at least was waking up without feeling tired. Since then, I've been working on a more keto diet (the first time I"ve tried a "diet" in my life (I'm 55)) and my sleep has continued to improve, - not as much as I would like (I'm nostaglic for what I remember of my sleep as a kid) but still a noticably better.
One thing about a keto diet is that it incidentally eliminates most, if not all, processed foods - which, according to Lustig, may be the primary cause of these types of issues - although I suspect that other type of diets (vegetarian, vegan, paleo) would also incidentally eliminate processed foods ( the modestly of N = 1). So I'm agnostic on whether my diet is best for all.
Anyways, I wanted to respond to your post because i was struck by your comment about feeling "boned," having tried all the usual medications, and other remedies, but without any real long term improvement, and had ultimately kind of given up - resigning myself to the idea that's just what my life is going to be like. - and now feel a glimmer of hope for a longer term solution.
Don't know if this might help you; but it might be worth a try.
Signed - Someone working on similar issues
@@matthewacuren It's funny you bring that up. I dove into this rabbit hole about ten months ago. I started keto and then moved to carnivore. Through the whole process, I've seen improvements is basically everything *except* for my sleep.
I do mostly 16:8 intermittent fasting, but I also did a 36 hour fast last month. That drove my stress levels too high though, making my sleep worse for that night. I've been considering a slightly longer fast for the autophagy benefits, but I only have like 12% body fat, so I don't have much breathing room there.
I appreciate the input, though. I like to think I'm on the right track; it just feels like I've tried everything and nothing works.
@@BonesMoses Well, I'm not there there yet either, but have felt noticable, yet unexpected, improvement. Everyone is different. Since your response, I ran into the fact you actually upload stuff (I never have), and now I've gotta look at your channel.
Anyways, I really noticed the change after after 5-6 days into my first 3 week fast - perhaps that was it. From my cursory glance at your channel (looks interesting), it looks like you don't need any education from me (I ain't no expert). But perhaps, given your body lipid ratio '(I'm jealous cuz I'm sure I have a (much) higher body fat pourcentage than thou) it might be worth trying a fasting mimic diet (just fat, but still somewhat calorie resticted). Just an idea.
M
Now that I've had more time to peruse your channel, you got me to suscribe, and I don't do that that often. I especially like your video "Vaccine Controversies." Who woulda thunk? Ps: my sister is an antivaxxer - and it drives me crazy - it's a cult...
Pleasure meeting you in the comments section. M
👏👏👏🇧🇷 very good
13:00 UK being at the opposite end of France is no co-incidence.
This is great information but what are we supposed to do about it? Are we expected to skip cake and ice cream at birthday parties? This seems to be very difficult socially. How are we supposed to explain to our kids that they can't go trick or treating for Halloween? It seems to be only issue with some people as there are plenty of healthy people that are eating sugar. If you get sick from sugar, can you just stop using it to get healthy again?
Could the combination of fat _and_ sugar in processed foods, as opposed to sugar _alone_ be the problem?
yes that is the case sugar and fat are extremely dopaminergic when combined sugar on its
own signals serotonin the happiness neurotransmitter through parasympathetic activity of CNS
I don't know why this neurologist claims sugar is the problem he obviously knows the above but dismisses it.
Well all food has the essential fats in micro amounts bananas potatoes wheat rice etc sugar doesn't have the essential fats it's just energy in it's purest form it won't contribute to fat storage for the same reason because it has no fat and it's energy meaning it burned for just breathing while fat like chicken eggs beef fish milk and oil also have essential fats they have them in macro amounts meaning way more than it's needed and fat is lazy form of energy that gets stored as fat and just likes to hang around it a lagging form of energy.
Carbs toxic I don't think so and cells need them for respiration and eating about 3000 calories worth of potatoes and bananas won't cause organ damage but 3000 calories of steak a day in and day out might compromise kidney health
@@degoalas I agree that carbs are *not* toxic. It's all about moderation with carbs -- using them as they are needed.
However, don't fall for the myth that protein will damage kidneys. Protein only damages kidneys that are already damaged -- from diseases like diabetes, for example.
@@general_electrics well plant proteins don't do damage animal proteins do the reason is because they are recycled which makes them toxic that's the reason autophagy is so beneficial because it gets rid of recycled protein from the body increasing health.!.
Hard to hear.
Imprison everybody who is about marketing
The prison industry would love to have them.
No idea what you just responded.
how can one draw the conclusion between suicidal tendencies and diet? There are so many other factors that are part of that equation. where’s the data?
Dr. Lustig thoroughly depresses me.
Why or how does the speaker depress you?
Everybody in the world, and you're telling us that banks are who we should trust? No.
He needs to dump his political comments. Makes him look petty.
😃😷😷
He is definitively right .. but there is one danger!!
I went on a strictly no-carb diet - and it worked: HbA1c went down from many years of 10.0 (which is astronomically high) in 6 months to 4.7 (which is really healthy low) - without insulin or any drugs (like metformin). Just simply no-carb plus exercise plus reduction of social and emotional stress,
So the diabetes has been defeated - but I developed a severe Macular Degeneration (AMD) !
The reason (I found out): retina cellls live only on glucose, they cannnot live on fat (just like cancer cells, some immune cells and red blood cells) ! So the reitina needs a bit of glucose.
Therefore I recently changed my diet: I still do not eat "industrial" sugar and "processed" (gronnded/powdered) starch, but I do eat a few (!!!) sugar in "natural" form together with it's fiber: bananas, apricots, apples (all organic and not many) - and the AMD symptoms go away slowly (very slowly).
Sugar (if it is naturally and constricted!) is not the enemy: processed food is the enemy!!!
Thank You for Your work, Dr. Lustig!
Actually, I just looked it up and your retina can also use free fatty acids for fuel and of course through neoglucogenesis your body will produce all the glucose that needs. That's why on a zero carb diet your brain doesn't die. It uses ketones plus glucose that your body makes. So unless you have a defective neogluconeogenesis issue, it may have been coincidental.
You realise neoglucogenesis exists?
Well, I eat and drink only meat an water for over 18 months now. Im for sure the only person doing that on this planet and I feel fenomenal. Banana, apricots, apples are not natural or organic, they are man made products and bad for animals and human as all agriculture products. You dont find edible plants in natural and till 11 000 years ago was only meat and water so no agriculture.
L. Amber O'Hearn (@KetoCarnivore) has been a carnivore for almost 10 years and has dedicated herself to deeply researching the science . she is a healthy promoter of the lifestyle. However we are individual what works for one is not going to work for all due to genetics.
A no carb diet isn’t discussed in this video. I’m responding to the “danger” part of the original comment and thinking through the warning.
The speaker discussed a research study of children where refined sugar was eliminated but refined carbohydrates (glucose) and fruit was permitted.
One thing to push back on, he says that people on low-income can only afford processed foods; check the nutrition and cost of dried legumes and rice. It is clearly the cheapest and a good "back-bone" for any diet. Processed foods are very expensive relative to the two I mentioned. But, of course, the processed foods have the perfect amounts of salt, sugar, and seasoning so they taste amazing (Lay's BBQ chips anyone? lol),
Patrick Potter Ironic thing is, if you buy and consume nutrient dense food; such as minced beef, chicken, eggs, cheese, butter; you end up eating waaay less (nutrient dense food is very filling/satisfying and gives the body everything it requires in small amounts) and so people end up spending about the same money on food whether it’s copious amounts of processed junk or relatively little nutrient dense natural, good quality foods.
@@paxvobiscum9859 I don't know man.... I buy 2lbs of dried legumes for $2.50 and that has 198g protein and 3060 Kcal as well as iron, potassium, etc. Then, talk about rice, they practically give it away and it's packed with complex starches as well as some protein.
Patrick Potter The iron in legumes is non-heme and therefore not very bioavailable. Rely on non-heme iron as your main iron source and you’ll end up anaemic before long. Legumes also contain toxic oxalates that can’t be cooked out, along with other anti-nutrients. White rice is devoid of any nutrients. It is basically just carbohydrate with a very high glycemic index, causing or contributing to metabolic disease and disorder. Brown rice, while containing some nutrients, is very high in oxalates.
These are not the sort of healthy, nutrient dense foods I was referring to. 🤷🏼♀️
@@paxvobiscum9859 Yea, I'm saying these are a good "back bone" to a diet. Not that they should be the entire diet.
Patrick Potter Shouldn’t the backbone of any diet be healthy and nutritious though? For our ancestors (all peoples the world over), the staple was always meat, offal and/or fish and seafood. Add some eggs, milk, berries... but the main source of nutrition was always the animal itself.
This is a wonderful presentation! I see people screaming about politics in the comments, but I must have missed that in the video. I guess I was just too focused on learning. *shrugs*
Joshua Green He mocked President Trump and Brexit supporters at the very beginning.
The Brexit thing..come on. What an idiotic hypothesis.

What does chobby mean?
If you mean "chubby" then yes. He's the very largest of all the great doctors that I now admire and support. They are the ones trying to get this world OFF processed foods and sugar. I've been off for 5 years nearly. I don' t know if Robert understands how this affects his image as a nutritionally astute doctor. I like my BMI under 23, it's where longevity is the very highest-and is where plant eating got me without any trouble whatsoever.
If you watch his most recent material he's much thinner. 👍🏻
@@kristinmoore4624 Thanks for the update, plants rule.
might have been interesting but, as Lustig floridly exhibits Trump/Brexit derangement syndrome in the first few seconds, I certainly wont be taking advice on a healthy brain from him
true, but on the other hand, it saves alot of time.
If Trump's fanboys could stop branding any criticism of him Trump derangement syndrome or autism and would stop mediclaising any criticism of their supergreatultragod maybe then they'd convince more people.
I heard that..but his information is vital..He admitted that Obama care was a failure..He generally believes that the health care costs will come down if we follow his advice and eat less..eat well and carefully..and exercise..He is correct!
I still want Trump to win re-election..AND consider Dr.Lustig's admonitions vital regardless of his
political opinion!
That you think as you do points to how deeply and entrenched your hacking has progressed.
You were wrong to bring Brexit into this. You are American and have no understanding of the EU model. Maybe the UK wishes to be a FREE country.
Only thing worse tben Sugar is thr fūcking Sound of this video !
God dammit
Your political comments are your own. Don’t belong in a scientific talk.
And you're free to have your own political opinions. The speaker is a person too. Anyway, it's impeachment time!
Joshua Green His talk is on nutrition and diet....not politics. I didn’t listen to him for his politics. His is an ignorant man in that respect.

Title: your brain is being hacked
Mary Behrent Republican snowflake
Stick to health, stay away from Brexit. I mean, an American talking about a country staying part of an oppressive regime that has taxation without representation. Hello McFly!
Slightly past the 39 minute mark, he makes a comment about Trump, letting us know he thinks Trump is a f*cking joke; a fact that had already been well established in the general population.
Lustig, sticks with facts not trump bashing every chance you get!
One message resonates the other is petty shit
Your delivery is terrible - as part and parcel of the pharmacological system for a number of years, the tone ought to be different. Also, the error of scientism comes up a lot. Further, your handling of the term ‘carbohydrate’ is bound to mislead. The greatest revelation that has gradually unfolded in the past 30 years is the value and ethical ramifications of plant nutrition vis-à-vis the toxicity and resultant suffering of meat, fish and dairy.
Plant nutrition is incomplete and inefficient nutrition. Also, it's just as rife (if not more) with toxins as the "awful" meat the vegan propagandists will have us all believe. Heavy metals, mycotoxins, a plethora of alkaloids, lectins, oxalic acid, etc etc. It's absolute madness to make this simplistic distinction that somehow all plant food is completely safe. And by the way; What a conveniently large (virtually all-encompassing) food category to choose from and claim all for yourself!
Stopped watching after stupid political joke which, regardless of how much truth is in it, discredited this person as a scientist. Not worth my time.
Dmitrii Zholud agreed. I’ll make it a point to NOT watch any videos or read his work. I don’t need to hear his personal political opinions along with nutrition science.
Dmitrii Zholud Republican snowflake dont be So touchy
Question Mark the guy is a brilliant asshole. Too bad, he lost a lot of people by getting political. Like I said, he’s an asshole.
@@rumproast5159 I agree. Whether his political statements were made as part of a cynical ploy, in order to keep his position at the University, or whether they actually reflect his beliefs, those remarks illustrate the reason why people in Montana, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Washington State, DO NOT WANT CALIFORNIANS (who are moving to those states in droves, fleeing the mess created by Californians' insane political beliefs).
