The food industry hates him. They use sugar everywhere to make food more palatable and more important more addictive. People are just consumers for them, the more you eat the more money they make, the fatter you get the better for them.
@@theprophet2444 Food industry profits, since you overeat. Medical industry profits, since you now have a chronic disease. I pick the "not sick" option. In the US that severely cuts down on what I can actually eat (in Europe it's easier, bread isn't off limits!) Since I get sick from US milk (not lactose intolerance) and pasta (I don't know why, I just get really sick), it comes down to rice, eggs, vegetables, and occasionally organic meat and milk. The guilty treats are salted potato chips and McDonalds without sauces, buns, and any sugary item. I know, trans fat and french fried, but we aren't all saints.
@@bobmcbride3550 This man is a beacon of truth in a dark world of horrible food. Folks are literally passing away from the poor quality of our food in the U.S.A....
@@punker4Real Unfortunately prop 65 is just a warning label of sorts. So very many of those labeled harmful to human life are allowed to be used, and are. Sugar would be so much the same... "Hey, it is bad for you, but if you want to consume it, it is on you. We warned you now... so there."
Tax 'em to penury .. and do the same to fast food chains, nicotine peddlers. Not taxing them to death allows them to buy stock in so called health companies. Pharma, medical electronics, disposables, vaccines, healthcare.. you name the pie, and they've got their grubby fingers in it. It's a increasingly disturbing picture of a global death supercomplex, all tied by financial ties. A perversion of Malthusian economics ( if that were even possible ) to cull the more credulous I.e. the poorer and less aware populations among us. And wielding enormous power in our politics, our culture, our habits to long term pernicious effect. This is a global problem and succumbing to NIMBY will end up laying waste to us all.
My husband recently went to the doctor for routine lab work. As a testicular cancer survivor, he gets checked for certain issues every 6 months. His doctor had told him, one year ago, that his cholesterol was high and to start a statin. He started the statin drug and went back after 6 months. His cholesterol was even worse than before, and this time the doctor said he was pre-diabetic. That day, I decided to educate myself on the meaning of all his blood work so I could provide a healthier diet for him. (I'm a bit old fashioned in that respect. I love providing meals for my husband and family). Anyway, in just a few days, I learned that insulin resistance was what had been causing the bad blood work as well as many other medical issues he'd been having; sleep apnea, testicular cancer, arthritis and intermittent explosive disorder. He was someone who would grab a couple little Debbie cakes for snacks throughout his day and ate a bag of chips in one sitting. He was not overweight or obese and very muscular, so we thought he was OK. He works a very physically demanding job and we believed he was always eating simply because he burned so many calories. Well, I was wrong. He was insulin resistant and to combat the issue, we immediately adopted a keto diet. He was absolutely miserable the first 2 weeks. He had sugar/carb cravings every 2 hours. Now, he is doing very well, feeling and looking younger and has more energy. He has blood work again in a month and we are hoping we've improved his health as far as lab work is concerned. His case is a primary example of someone, whom is not obese, actually having dramatic problems going on inside because of our reliance on sugar and carbs. Oh, and though I naturally ate low carb, I joined him in the keto diet and lost 20 lbs after just 6 weeks. Altogether, I've lost 40 lbs but had plateaud. I am finally a weight considered to be in the normal range, not overweight or obese, for the first time since my 20s. Keto started my weight loss up again and I feel healthier. I will try to remember to update this comment when we get his labs again.
Update- my husband went back for new labs and was much better. His cholesterol was still considered a little high but had dropped by 60 points. His triglycerides improved and he was taken off his statin medication. Even though he could have gone back to eating carbs after his "diet", he decided he wants to continue low carb. He said he feels too good to go back. He's looking and feeling healthier than ever.
Keto is okay to help heal some things in the body but it might not be great long term, dr. Robert Lustig mentioned that in one of his UA-cam videos where he was a guest on a channel. Think about it, in general no extreme is the best one way or another. You can also search it, there is now more information on keto than we had before. Variety of whole foods is great. Good for you for educating yourself, when I hear stories from people and their health issues it's usually the same story, bad diet but doctors think it's something that they need a pill for and people take it.
Thank you for sharing your story. I have been looking at the positive aspects of cholesterol (cognitive maintenance) and following the same regime. It works, early on not fun, but it works I had no idea the impact that sugar had on my life, mood , mental clarity, a clean diet is everything.... scariest thing I've ever come to grips with.
The snark factor tends to rise when you're preaching to the choir - as he is here. I would hope that it would go down when talking to physicians who are in the deepest need of learning this stuff. They are the gatekeepers. And if they're offended, we don't get anywhere. The problem with UA-cam is that anyone can see this, so it would behoove him to speak as if he was speaking to the toughest crowd he'd ever known. _Then_ I'd be more willing to put this in my Playlist for what I want my Doctors to watch.
@@DarkMoonDroid Or, you can put it in your Playlist for it is chocked full of great information and just let the other doctors be the adults they should be and learn from the presentation whether of not they get butt hurt or not for his manner of presentation of medically inclined facts... and keep your emotions out of it all together. Sounds good to me.
@@witcheater Or you can eff-off and let me speak from my experience of being bullied by an oncology nurse and doctor at the possible expense of my life. If you bully me too, I'll just report you, asshole.
Honestly he just seems like a man, who is angry that corporations are still allowed to do this, even though research has proven that it causes all these things like cancer, heart disease, diabeteses, obeseity... He is an amazing human being and i'm glad we have him
I was a sugar addict my whole life . Having been in a situation of chronic stress for years i ate sugar to elevate my mood & feel better . It was my drug of choice . Last year i quit sugar cold turkey last year . This month i complete 16 months being sugar free & counting . I will never eat sugar again . Once a connosieur of fine chocolate today i don’t eat even high gi fruit . I’m not going back to sugar consumption ever again
I will never give up all sugar entirely, but I do need to cut back to very little. I do well and then cave in. Get back on track pretty quickly. My brain hijacks me and convinced me it's fine to have "some". I need to save it for special occasions like birthdays. I just need to be strong through those moments of craving.
If only I had known now 40 years ago, I could have avoided a lot of health problems. At least I learned this last year and have turned things around. I've lost 65 pounds and no longer need blood pressure medication.
He’s too good for them (not evil enough for the Globalist) and besides he’s a decent human being who actually cares for people. W.H.O, CDC, FDA need dissolving anyway along with UN etc!!!
As a RN/MSN that works ICU/ER, this is one of, or the, best lecture I have ever watched. PROFOUNDLY important information that needs prolific distribution to the public. Your staff should be proud to work with you. What you are doing truly changes lives. Thank you Dr. Lustig for this OUTSTANDING presentation.
I am 50 years old, I got off sugar 2 years ago. I lost 70 lbs I am off all statins, gout and high blood pressure drugs now. Doctor said blood work is great! BP is now normal. Blood work for Liver and kidneys function was also great. I was on my way to diabetes, now my A1C is 5.1 I eat moderate high fiber carbs. Very low white sugar and processed foods. Thank you Dr. Lustig! You saved my life!
Amazing stuff! So happy for you. I wish my dad, who has rheumatoid arthritis, would listen. He just shrugs and says his doctor hasn’t mentioned any of this, so he doesn’t believe it.
I've learned more on youtube over the past month concerning sugar, carbs and intermittent fasting than my primary care physician knows. I am dead serious. Time to get a younger doctor or PCP who actually does some follow-on learning after med school.
Same here. My highly rated endocrinologist seems only to have vague awareness of these issues. As a Type 2 diabetic, he never once told me about limiting sugar or carbs. Now I'm following the science on the internet and doing much better than when I saw him.
I had a hard time quitting but now zero sugar; No idea if this is legitimate or a fraud but I tried a product at a health food store which is meant to control or eliminate a so called Candida yeast overgrowth internal which may cause sugar craving... anyway a licensed naturopath said it is OK to try it. I also use some pure Canadian maple syrup which is delicious and does not seem to cause me to have symptoms related to sugar. years ago I showed a bad rash to a doctor and he said Oh my God, does diabetes run in your family?
this is greatly underrated, he practically explained the cure of cancer, diabetes, and Alzeheimers (because of the fact that its known as diabetes type 3) this information is of great value.
My heart is bumping and my eyes are wet. Thinking at my oncologist saying. No, sugar is not the reason for cancer since the body produces glycogen as you don't eat sugar. This is the situation when patients ask if cutting out sugar of the diat would have positive effects. In my case I encounter so many doctors who stuck with the book they read back then in medical school. They have not developed and keep on talking shit. Yes it takes effort to keep being updated. I am so sad! Greatings from germany
+moccamo mo I remember being extremely frustrated with the Doctors, Nurses, hospitals and rehabilitation centers when dealing with my mother's diabetes complications. They would bring her sugar all the time. Even the hospital's diabetic meals were a joke! The nurse would give her ice cream and when I questioned it she told that they'd just give a little more insulin to compensate for it.
I used to have the nastiest brain tumour the size of a tennis ball, Doctors said I had 3 months to live and could not treat me as I was to far gone. 10 years later I look at those doctor and laugh. The thing you need to know is that cancer is a dietary disease. Protein (animal products only) is the fire and sugar (including fruit) is the fuel - don't eat the fire and don't pour on fuel and you will be fine and in fact you will feel the healthiest you could ever be.
@@Islamisthecultofsin i had similar experiences. A relative almost die ir got a serios shock from the food ,which they served in a hospital. And the relative had diabetes typ2 so insulin dont even help. And the relative told to the nurses and dictors. Still they setved bad ,sugary food. And used insulin after wards. Try to compensating bad sugary food. Which didnt work ofcourse.
4 months ago I was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes. My HbA1c (blood glucose) was 73 mmol/mol. Since then I have moved to a mainly wholefoods diet with little processed food and no UPF. I eat many organic things where possible. I eat strictly pumpernickel for bread, no refined carbs, no potatoes, ZERO added sugar and control carb portions to around 50g per meal. I enjoy cheese, fatty natural yoghurt, whole milk and snack on nuts, which keeps my fat intake at a good level. Kimchi, sauerkraut and yoghurt help my microbiome. I have also done a morning workout (exercise bike and weights) 4-5 times a week and have taken 500mg of Metformin twice a day. In 4 months I have lost 17.5Kg/2St 10lbs/38.5lbs and my blood test results today show a HbA1c of 36mmol/mol, which is amazing!
sugar is just there thus its not its fault :)... its us who utilizes' it at fault & the mercenary biz people who just want to make money.. when sugar was just from sugarcane, not much of this has been considered a crisis..its when some other sugar is develop from other plants + total abuse by culinary industry creating pastries w excessive use of sugar :(
Free roam chickens and eggs along with grass fed beef is worth the money. Also, support your organic farmers. Your health will greatly improve as long as you cut the sugar.
Dec 2022. My brother In law is having serious cancer treatment in Shreveport. They are telling him to cut out sugar because they now understand it feeds cancer. So some good news on that aspect.
Mott Girl -- LUSTIG has LOTS of other vids!! Very informative! Dr. Chris Knobbe's presentation on SEED OILS -- has the extra mile of completing information. 40 minutes long -- but life changing!!
Dear Prof Lustig, your lectures are always mind boggling and this is one of them I was waiting for! Being a diabetologist myself and blindly following so called best practice guidelines for 28 years, I ended up asking myself, whether I am a victim or partner of greatest medical science scam that is going around! I still do not understand why Hippocrates old saying " Thy medicine is thy food and thy food is thy medicine" is ignored by our medical fraternity. Believe it or not most of my longest surviving patients are on Low Carb diet, I am not sure about their fat intake, despite my advise to be liberal on saturated fat! I would be grateful if you permit me to quote and use some of your slides for educational purpose.
avoiding high intakes of sugar, and processed toxins as vegetable oils is key to live better, longer and much much healthier. Avoiding crop pesticides will definitily help as well. Ecological food. Its REALLY hard avoding all these daily enviromental toxins we humans produce and put on our food. It shouldnt be. Its sad that its not talked about or brought up more often mainstream
I think it would be better to ask for permission to use Dr Lastig's materials per email, because he probably does not read UA-cam comments. You will definitely find his email address at his official uni webpage.
Yes, so sad people thought were fat due to lack of will power. Did not read labels and know that the food makers add sugar, corn syrup, and vegetables oils to your diet as they add to extend the quantity of food and make money. start reading labels are amazed. Even put sugar in bacon and ketchup.
Years ago a doctor here in Sweden , stated that I have fat in my liver. No more ! Well he said that can be reduced if you loose weight. !!!!!! He did not give me an idea of how dangerous this is. He did not talk diet. He did not schedule an other appointment. This was in a hospital. My own doctor just told me that he has a belly too- as if I did not notice. Now I take matters into my own hands. I should also use said hands to slap these doctors- if only it would help. Thanks goes to Dr Lustig and other docs of low carb / carnivore / anti sugar . Don’t do legal drugs - don’t do fructose . Oh yes- I offered to send a s... load of videos to my doctor . He said he didn’t have time for that. I said you don’t have time not to see these videos - because everybody will be sick in the future if we continue as before. Again : thank you dr Lustig( and you are even “ Lustig” in a German sense )
yes indeed there are a lot of drs too lazy to explain , or too ignorant. It is a shocking situation. The wrong message was sent out for 60 years. Fat in the food is the danger ! ! NO It is the sugar which makes the fat danger
doctors are people too, and many of them in medical profession for the purpose of earning a good living with a skill set and knowledge based. Other special doctors are not in it for the money / earn a living, but to advance human society by preventing disease and treating illness. Dr. Lustig belong to this rare category of mavens. I think in general people assume all doctors are driven by "do good for no profit" belief when reality only a few could hold up such ideal.
Fantastic lecture Doctor . It's so reassuring that there are people like you out there looking to prevent illness . ' Just because you are obese it doesn't mean you are sick , but just because you are thin doesn't mean you are healthy ' .
The first person's advice I followed when starting out cutting processed food out 4 + years ago now has now also solved a mystery I have been searching for for several years that even my own Endo couldn't tell me - why I had low and then high lactate dehydrogenase. This man is a gem.
I got into low carb after losing about 40 to 50-lb doing the pizza diet. it's like the Subway diet you give up on everything and you just eat the same s*** every day until you lose weight and if you don't it doesn't matter cuz you're going to die anyway and if you do it doesn't matter cuz you'll never lose it all. I had just given up. then I learned some science about low carb decided to give it a try was kind of iffy on it because the skeptic community has been very negative Nancy on it and dismissive. But within 2 weeks the knee brace came off I had more energy less depression and I went from being hungry regularly to eating once a day, and then for three days I just stopped getting hungry so I didn't really eat and before I knew it I had gone a 3-day fast when before I would try to eat healthy by steaming French greens and putting some teriyaki sauce, but just a little bit and before I know it I'm light-headed and low blood sugar. That's why I was doing the pizza diet because there was nothing I could do to get my hunger in blood sugars permanently under control. at least not without eating a lot of meat which is supposed to be bad for you which I didn't really understand because I don't know how native populations could have that drives by forging two thousand calories for 30 different people every day.
Its quite funny to me that you went there, because nothing he says lends itself to low carb. Low sugar and low processed shit, sure, but there is literally nothing wrong with a bunch of baked potato with the peel. Massive amount of carbs, completely fine as it comes with fibre and all the rest of it that you need. I guess it tells you something about most modern diets that people conflate processed, sugery shit with "all carbs".
Corporations rule the Western World for profit,...unimaginable profits! Covid is part of the scheme for the moment; tomorrow there will be a different driver & our media outlets in kahootz with them, everyone getting paid, therfore participating. No public outcry over killing our children OTW to adulthood with toxic food and keep them hooked until their bodies give out; beginning with the shame of what s on the menu in public schools. It is so strange that no one worries about general health of toddlers, however is freaked out to the max about a virus which has been with us for ages. Sugar sure kills brain cells!
I still feel that Prof Lustig's and his colleagues work presented here is probably the most significant medical dietary and health breakthrough this century. Without a doubt it is incredibly significant and should shape the food industry going forward !!
Grateful to the conference organizers for letting Dr. Lustig go over-time, that was really useful info especially toward the end. My grandfather and father both died of cancer, and because of this talk I will take specific actions in hopes to not be the 3rd in a row.
Love this man! It's great what he's doing in schools! I watched a documentary with him from about 5yrs ago, about sugar and balled. It changed my life and made me want to quit sugar! I'm in that process, now. God bless, Prof. Lustig!
Another great lecture by Dr Robert Lustig !! I wish I understood what i heard in Sugar the Bitter Truth I Listened to in 2008 - but no I had to get T2D first (Feb 2019) and find keto / carnivore and lose my uterus and ovaries.
Started Keto again yesterday. ALREADY FEEL BETTER!! Rebounded 48 lbs from a 105 lb weight loss in 9 months. So sad, but I'll be smart this time. Long IF is not for me. I pushed the limits and really weakened myself. A -fib, severe hair loss, general total body weakness resulted. Thin but weak...and I ate well, plenty of protein I thought, but after reviewing my daily diet Journal I see that I was adding carbs in justifiable ways, chocolate, red potato, pinto beans...SOME of us are Insulin resistant (severely) AND hyperinsulinemic TOO. This problem is all about behavior. I need to be grateful keto works and revel in it! ALSO, Leaky gut is REAL and I will address it earnestly this time around. God is 👍 good. **THANK YOU GENTLEMAN for teaching us applicable science so we can heal. 😘😁
@@OrbitalTrails-x5s no it isn't. Dietary fat does not increase body fat. If it did, our ancestors would have been obese as they consumed more fat than we do now, but they weren't. They were in better shape than most people now.
This was absolutely a wonderful presentation! We definitely need to take our health back into our own hands first of all, by re-educating ourselves and our children, about nutrition, and better understanding of how and why our food choices matter so much, for preventing so many of the chronic illnesses, cancer and sickness in general. The second thing we need to do is collectively stop buying poisonous, toxic, processed foods, petition the food production companies to improve, or loose our business, to the increasingly new, small food companies, who are rising to meet the demand of what more and more people are wanting, which is real food, organic produce, not the GMO, chemicals, preservatives, lab made crap that’s been making so many people sick and die! While we won’t hold our breath waiting for the food industry to catch up, we should still hold them accountable, and as the saying goes, money speaks volumes to big corporations, big pharmaceutical too! The more we learn, share with others, the better we can prevent and heal, by buying from local farmers, helping small farms stay in business, since they have been almost completely wiped out by big factory farming, only concerned with their bottle line profit, and unfortunately has been allowed to use poison pesticides and insecticides, GMO’s.. controlling farmers seeds as well! The people of the US has not been represented by the majority of our many government agencies, and while big corporations, banks, and our government has become rich off of us, they have too much power, control and are right now in our face showing they don’t care about our country, and will do as they please! Who is sick and tired of being sick and tired, seeing loved ones suffer, die too early, and paying so much money, working so hard for crappy food, crappy health care and paying more and more for it all? We need to learn container balcony gardening, back to basics with learning things our great grandparents learned. I think realizing how much better people start to feel, while making healthier choices and taking responsibility for our own health more, will bring confidence and encouragement to others, as they see how much improvement in their health they see they can create! I know I’ve been motivated by others, who are proof, living, whole, non toxic food can be our medicine!
2:50 - cancers that seem to be associated with obesity 7:25 - then how come the normal weight people are getting diabetes as fast 8:50 - MHO 29:50 - where that fat come from ( liver fat ) 45:00 - cancer 48:50 - glucose is absolutely vital for cancer cells 50:45 - mTOR
They need insulin and perhaps their pancreas can't keep up because of the high sugar diet we are all eating. Type 2 diabetes is not about being fat although that is often a symptom. Our pancreas has have to make an inordinate amount of insulin to keep our blood sugar in check. Many people are walking around with high insulin levels and they do not know it
I was profoundly moved, if not compelled, to stop eating sugar and processed food after listening to Dr. Lustig. The first week was tough, but I made it. I'm 55, and the following conditions completely cleared up within two weeks: -Psoriasis around the eyes and mouth -Gum disease -Arthritis pain in hip and hands -Painful leg cramps that would awaken me nightly -Brain fog -Fatigue and tiredess, and joint stiffness -Gut and digestion issues -Hemoroids -Belly fat and love handles melted away - I sleep so much better. I have seemingly unlimited energy. My mental clarity and focus has improved beyond anything I've ever experienced in 55 years. Depression has dissolved. I have never felt this good in my whole life. Thank you, Dr. Lustig for making sense.
Any time I need encouragement to cook for myself I come watch a Lustig lecture and then am newly motivated to avoid ultra processed food. Such a dangerous drug!
I do the same - Dr. Lustig or Dr. William Li. Dr. Li reminds me of how many tasty good foods are out there and Dr. Lustig reinforces why I should be eating them.
i wish that everyone that does not know about metabolic syndrome, or diabetes type 2, or insulin resistance, or adipose fat, would watch this video to understand how important the avoidance of sugars and high fructose corn syrup is.
I have epilepsy and I started doing keto diet 2-3 months per year also started eating on 16/8 hr schedule. My mom god diagnosed with cancer 2 years ago I've made my research on low carb and sugar and The Wardburg Effect a some time before and kinda knew the sphere so after her surgery I urged her to consult her doctors and try fasting/keto. The doctors have told her "if it was like that we would tell everyone to do it". My mother died a month ago and the reason was that her intestines disintegrated because of effects of "preventative" chemo therapy being given to her for 2 years even in the time her markers were below average. Mine and my family's life experience convinced me that "Every cured person is a client lost". After all the human way is threating others as persons not assets but obviously not the contemporary medicine's one. Hippocrates's oath is obviously regarded as something formal a lot of doctors do before becoming businessmen. War is being waged against us in the illusion that the world has no major wars anymore.
i would love for my family and friends to watch this video and learn from it, my sister for example is a terminal cancer patient, but even though i try to get them to atleast reduce the amount of sugar they intake i cant get them to believe it and they wont sit through videos like this,,,at least my wife and daughter followed me in embracing the low carb diet real food diet.
The thing about things like this; u can't tell it to anyone that doesn't want to truly know it. Theres just no way, and it's not your job to make sure THEY don't neglect themselves (& everyone else, along w them), which they are, unfortunately. Brainwashing is a hell of a drug
This study would appear to suggest that there is grounds for a class action case against high fructose corn syrup manufacturers and most of the manufacturers of soda pop using fructose along with other food manufacturers using high fructose corn syrup for the adverse health effects they have caused in countless humans that is more substantial than any claims ever filed against the tobacco industry.
The most important thing to think about for ANY meat, even chicken is how was it raised and how was it finished. Grass fed AND finished beef and lamb is good. Grass fed and cotton seed supplemented is BAD (this is a common practice in Australia, particularly in drought conditions. Chicken is typically supplemented with soy feed but even GMO free SOY is no good for us and the same may also apply to "pasture fed" pork. Feedlot anything is carb loaded
"Feedlot anything is carb loaded". I think that is false. Meat is protein and fat with zero carbohydrates, regardless of what the animal is fed. Grass-feeding may change the composition and quality of meat proteins and fats compared to grain-feeding, but feeding animals carbohydrates does not turn the their meat into "bread".
@Vegan Game Over In pork and chicken, the way they are fed is really important because it changes that fatty acid composition so much. But in beef, there are miniscule changes when it comes to Omega 3:6 ratio etc. Saladino and Teichholz have a video on chicken and pork
@Asherah 1147 you're a joke and your name is rather filthy. An "ASHERAH" was a HEWN "fertility" POLE/ROCK ERECTED FOR VENERATION. Meaning it was a phallic symbol shaped like a phallus. So I guess you deserve the name D***he*d .
I just found this channel and have been watching all the videos during a rheumatoid arthritis flair up. I found this gentleman after being medically retired from a very physical job which I loved. I felt sorry for myself and ended up putting on tons of weight. Watching the effects of sugar, fast food, carbohydrates I gave up everything with an ingredients list…..six years later I went from 196 lb to 130lb with no problem. Never put back any weight. Sadly I still have RA because it is genetic but the flair ups have reduced in intensity and timing.
Loved it. Thank you. In the Indian context....you are right when you say we are not obese and yet we have 11% cases for diabetes. Wonder why? Depending on which part of India you are looking at; we are ingesting sugar at different times with different combination but not with meals. This to me is the main differentiation. i) North India: Not lean but not obese either: No sugar (fructose) with food and it comes in the form of fruits, milk and tea at different times. ii) East India: Extremely lean people: Hog on carbs (mostly boiled) but quantity is a lot higher & some fish/chicken as well. Sugar intake is in the form of tea, biscuits etc but again not with meals. iii) Western (Gujarat mainly): Significant number of Fat people: Add sugar in their food. Love sugar but otherwise have low appetite - eat less food overall as compare to other regions. Iv) South India: Strong mix of lean & little abdominal fat: Use lot of unsaturated oil in their high carb food. Sweet tea and other sweats. So yes, there is a sugar intake but since it is not clubbed with food; it doesn't make the person obese. But sugar is sugar....The Diabetes and Cancer! A lot of us become insulin resistant for sure and hence we are likely to get it either being obese or staying normal. In contrast if you look at poor people; their main source of energy is 'sugar' via tea. Very high sugar and even though they burn it in the form of energy, they don't seem metabolically healthy either in my experience dealing with a few over the years. Here is my hypothesis: It is the combination and it makes it worse if you are either high on carbs or fat and mixes it with sugar. One of the main reasons for obesity is 'Sugar' in America which is ingested mainly via soft drinks & sweet tea with the food. An incident worth quoting: Once I was ordering food in a small restaurant at the counter in US. After I ordered the food, the girl at the counter asked me what drink? I said 'nothing'. I still can't forget the look she gave me :)
@@user_375a82 Yes Martin, I just checked and it seems that my above analysis is far more accurate than I thought! Click on the link and all the states that you see have lower incidents are states that reflect mainly poor population (meaning no access to sugar but for white sugar in their tea). Even though they survive on carbs but the percentage would be a lot lower because they burn all carbs while working and stay lean. But add to those carbs alcohol, sugar & less vitamins; they cant be metabolically healthy. In comparison South Indian states where they use more unsaturated oil has higher prevalence and so are north eastern states where they eat more carbs in rice form. Having said that, as mentioned in the article, the percentages would be a lot higher (may be double) if tested. www.indiaspend.com/1-in-2-indian-diabetics-unaware-of-their-condition-study/ I did a small experiment with my father (78 years) - kept him on low carbs - 20% - 25% (that's the best they can do here) for 6/7 weeks. He lost 4 kilos even after eating carbs to that level. Got him out of it and let him eat his regular carb loaded food for 3 weeks. Took care of the sweet by stopping his milk in the night, limiting fruits and decreasing carbs in breakfast. He started from 75 kilos when i started low carb diet with him and he is at 71 kilos this morning even after being on carbs diet for 3 weeks. He is definitely not insulin resistant which is a relief. It will be interesting to see his blood reports after another 2 weeks on this diet. He is been healthy metabolically but for mild Asthma which has subsided post LCHF diet. I also want to check if his asthma troubles him again. I am on a research on LCHF with 20% carbs and a lot of people dismissed it because everybody wants to follow the written low of 5% carbs. However, we must realist that it is not possible in every society and most definitely not in Indian society where everything we eat until we die is high on carbs. Have a read and let me know what you think about it: umeshchhikara.com/2020/05/04/diet-research-part-ii-nutrition-performance/ I know LCHF guys won't like it but I have to look at what is possible in our society.
In 2013 I went keto and knew SE Asians could eat rice and fruit in large amounts and stay thin. In recent years US fast food chains have flourished and SE Asians are getting obese. You focus on combining is a good one and you're not alone. I think fructose/sugar = the biggest problem.
Watched the whole thing. And I'll be really honest...he kinda lost me with the complicated terms and the science. But I understood the message very well. This has out things in a new perspective for me. I will share this knowledge wherever I go.
A lot of new revolutionary thoughts about dangers of sugar. Awesome stuff! Still it looks like sugar alone does not explain everything, and seed oils are contributing a lot to the disease side of equation independant of obesity.
This MD is extremely inquisitive and insightful in his analysis making connections and correlations and causation. Got emotional when he talked about sugar and fructose impact on the cell process with cancer. That was sooo disturbing to know so many people have lost their lives as result of greed..
Yet, the people are still responsible for their choices. We have to remain self aware, self reliant bc if we make ourselves victims then how do we circle back to empower ourselves?!
that talk was worthy of a standing ovation... it should be mandatory viewing in medical school and in the meetings of the board responsible for the dietary guidelines in all countries...
Many thanks for making this public. I had 107 kg weight and this was too much. I reduced sugar and reduced bread and ate more other things including vegetables, meat, and butter. I cooked myself and lost 10 kg and kept this for over 10 years. The main thing in my case was Insulin. After I changed it i did not become hungry short after the meals anymore, except we ate outside of home. Every day I cooked the meals I took with me to work when changing my life style. I did not know how much sugar they put into the meals.. (In Germany lunch at about 12 am is the main meal.) I ate really large portions and my collegues were astonished when I said I want to lose weight. But I lost, just avoiding sugars an most of other carbon hydrats. At first my wife was astonished, because I put lots of things on one slice of bread rather than eating 3 or 4 slices as before. Two years ago I started to bake the Bread miself, and my wife liked it much.
I'll always be grateful to Prof. Lustig, he has been the most prominent voice in all this madness around sugar. I first heard him back in 2012 before all this keto stuff started, he is someone to be respected and acknowledged for starting this whole line of thought.
"You can't tell if someone is sick by looking at them!" (paraphrased from my recollection.) Liver fat predicts metabolic disease and excess fructose causes fatty liver, whether you're obese or thin. Thank you, Prof. Lustig!
Thank you Dr Robert once again for such a clear explanations of pathways to describe the Correlation between Cancer / Sugar , the recommendations of introducing refined starch may not be in sync with LCHF folks but i gather its more a personalized approach and depends on factors related to fat distribution rather than BMI. I still watch your sensational first video which changed my life forever.
Who else Enjoys Dr. Lusting's Lectures 👌👌. His Lectures esp Sugar the Bitter Truth helped me Loose over almost 40KG👌👌 I now don't drink Fizzy, my life changed. The Atenol for high blood pressure I was prescribed by my GP in 2017 is still in my cupboard as a souvenir...now 2020 and still enjoying his Lectures🌷🌷
Love watching this guy he gave me a new knowledge of sugar and how bad it is for the human body, I now avoid it 95 percent of the time.......I now read labels on the food I buy religiously 5 yrs now.
Thank you Sir and the whole team who provided us with this enlightened research. Both my mother and her sister died of breast cancer having gotten it originally in their mid 50's, At age 67 I have often wondered how I dodged that bullet. I eat much more fruit and veggies (still not enough), get much more exercise too but you illuminated it for me as I began eating a Fiber Rich Diet to combat chronic constipation 47 years ago. Now I will double that.
Dr Lustig-I am so supportive of what you are trying to do..I apply these guidelines in my practice..I have your book -Fat Chance-on a side-table in consulting room...I hope this video is seen by all medical doctors.
Dr.Lustig.....you and Dr.william Davis author of "Wheat Belly".... changed my life . Going on 2 years and normal body weight....50 pounds gone forever. Thank you
It's not just about the sugar. There's another major component to Metabolic Syndrome: PROCESSED SEED OILS; more specifically, it's the Omega-6 oils such as Linoleic Acid that directly cause inflammation and metabolic syndrome INDEPENDENTLY of sugar intake. The major offenders are: Corn Oil, Soybean Oil, Safflower Oil, Canola Oil, Peanut Oil and Cottonseed Oil. These oils are highly refined and purified products, stripped of any micronutrients. These oils are not readily metabolized by the mitochondria. Mother Nature intended these oils to be consumed by animals that hibernate in the Winter, fattening them up to survive long periods without eating. But we humans do not hibernate, and eating such oils in excess of 200 grams daily on today's average consumption has caused us to become fat and sick. We should all stop eating these oils, euphemistically labeled as "vegetable oils", and return to eating animal fats such as butter, tallow, lard and suet. Read the works of Gary Taubs and Nina Teicholz and learn about this poison in our food supply.
Absolutely brilliant work and presentation. Thank you Dr Lustig. I will add that I am following Dr Esselstyn's diet after a MI event and this diet has changed my life. I'm sure that Dr Esselstyn's and Dr Lustig's work are complementary. My blood work has become almost 'perfect'. My weight normalised and my fitness levels are insane compared to what I was used to (maybe I was really sick!).
This information is so helpful and very informative. You should see what they feed some of those poor people living in nursing homes. They give them a big piece of cake with juice, and then a small amount of food a toddler would struggle to survive on. For snacks they give them Cheetos, and chips. My poor brother lasted about six months there.
I am on the path of cutting out more and more sugar from my diet. But this Dr Listigs research definitely has motivated me to speed it up. FYI: Based upon a previous video he’s about 74yrs old and looks great and is coherent and driving global change. Definitely goals!!!!!
Like trying to get a drink of water from a fire hose. Very information dense. I would like to listen to Dr. Lustig when he didn't have to worry about the clock. The tie-in with cancer is particularly interesting.
Mahirap talagang kalaban ang malalaking korporasyon at hindi madali ang ginagawa niya kahit pa sa kabutihan ng lahat kung binabangga naman niya mismo ang mga nagpopondo ng mga pagaaral na mga iyan. Pasalamat na lang tayo sa Diyos na may matapang, marunong at naninindigan para sa kabutihan ng lahat. 🙏🥰🇵🇭
Really grateful to Dr Lustig. I started listening to his lectures earlier this year. Went low carb and lost 3 stone prior to calling my own Dr back. My liver function was apparently very skewed last week since the last time it was last tested (2019). I barely ever drink so I have a feeling I would have been told to lose weight/stop eating sugar if I hadn't already had a food diary and be back in normal BMI range. Now waiting on further testing.
The more I learn about processed foods and what is in them, the more I stay away. I am trying to stay under 25 carbs per day and cut out sugar, HFCS, carrageenan, nitrates and nitrites, etc. It is amazingly scary what the food manufacturers put in food and drink to make it "taste better" and "more palitable"
This is what a talk sounds like when a person is not funded by the food industry. He's the best.
The food industry hates him. They use sugar everywhere to make food more palatable and more important more addictive. People are just consumers for them, the more you eat the more money they make, the fatter you get the better for them.
He will occasionally also take jabs at big pharma and what is and isn’t taught in medical schools
@@theprophet2444 Food industry profits, since you overeat. Medical industry profits, since you now have a chronic disease.
I pick the "not sick" option. In the US that severely cuts down on what I can actually eat (in Europe it's easier, bread isn't off limits!)
Since I get sick from US milk (not lactose intolerance) and pasta (I don't know why, I just get really sick), it comes down to rice, eggs, vegetables, and occasionally organic meat and milk.
The guilty treats are salted potato chips and McDonalds without sauces, buns, and any sugary item. I know, trans fat and french fried, but we aren't all saints.
No doctor is funded by the food industry.
@@televisionarchivestudios1130 Are you sure about that ?
I like this doctor's delivery - he cuts right through the crap. He doesn't 'sugarcoat' anything.
"Sugarcoat ", that comment made me chuckle! Good one !
😂
He has other talks which are also great. Check sugar the bitter truth
LOVE your pun, well delivered
@@bobmcbride3550 This man is a beacon of truth in a dark world of horrible food. Folks are literally passing away from the poor quality of our food in the U.S.A....
In my opinion, all sugary food & beverages manufacturers should be stopped immediately across the world and we should all practise (sugar distancing).
I love the tag line "sugar distancing" - its much healthier approach. if you get near it, beware, at your own risk lol.
California needs to update prop 65 and add sugar to the list
@@punker4Real Unfortunately prop 65 is just a warning label of sorts. So very many of those labeled harmful to human life are allowed to be used, and are. Sugar would be so much the same... "Hey, it is bad for you, but if you want to consume it, it is on you. We warned you now... so there."
Not just sugars, but refined carbs as well?
Tax 'em to penury .. and do the same to fast food chains, nicotine peddlers. Not taxing them to death allows them to buy stock in so called health companies. Pharma, medical electronics, disposables, vaccines, healthcare.. you name the pie, and they've got their grubby fingers in it. It's a increasingly disturbing picture of a global death supercomplex, all tied by financial ties. A perversion of Malthusian economics ( if that were even possible ) to cull the more credulous I.e. the poorer and less aware populations among us. And wielding enormous power in our politics, our culture, our habits to long term pernicious effect. This is a global problem and succumbing to NIMBY will end up laying waste to us all.
My husband recently went to the doctor for routine lab work. As a testicular cancer survivor, he gets checked for certain issues every 6 months. His doctor had told him, one year ago, that his cholesterol was high and to start a statin. He started the statin drug and went back after 6 months. His cholesterol was even worse than before, and this time the doctor said he was pre-diabetic. That day, I decided to educate myself on the meaning of all his blood work so I could provide a healthier diet for him. (I'm a bit old fashioned in that respect. I love providing meals for my husband and family). Anyway, in just a few days, I learned that insulin resistance was what had been causing the bad blood work as well as many other medical issues he'd been having; sleep apnea, testicular cancer, arthritis and intermittent explosive disorder. He was someone who would grab a couple little Debbie cakes for snacks throughout his day and ate a bag of chips in one sitting. He was not overweight or obese and very muscular, so we thought he was OK. He works a very physically demanding job and we believed he was always eating simply because he burned so many calories. Well, I was wrong. He was insulin resistant and to combat the issue, we immediately adopted a keto diet. He was absolutely miserable the first 2 weeks. He had sugar/carb cravings every 2 hours. Now, he is doing very well, feeling and looking younger and has more energy. He has blood work again in a month and we are hoping we've improved his health as far as lab work is concerned. His case is a primary example of someone, whom is not obese, actually having dramatic problems going on inside because of our reliance on sugar and carbs. Oh, and though I naturally ate low carb, I joined him in the keto diet and lost 20 lbs after just 6 weeks. Altogether, I've lost 40 lbs but had plateaud. I am finally a weight considered to be in the normal range, not overweight or obese, for the first time since my 20s. Keto started my weight loss up again and I feel healthier. I will try to remember to update this comment when we get his labs again.
Update- my husband went back for new labs and was much better. His cholesterol was still considered a little high but had dropped by 60 points. His triglycerides improved and he was taken off his statin medication. Even though he could have gone back to eating carbs after his "diet", he decided he wants to continue low carb. He said he feels too good to go back. He's looking and feeling healthier than ever.
That's wonderful, glad you're both in a better place
Thanks for taking the time to contribute 😊
Keto is okay to help heal some things in the body but it might not be great long term, dr. Robert Lustig mentioned that in one of his UA-cam videos where he was a guest on a channel. Think about it, in general no extreme is the best one way or another. You can also search it, there is now more information on keto than we had before. Variety of whole foods is great.
Good for you for educating yourself, when I hear stories from people and their health issues it's usually the same story, bad diet but doctors think it's something that they need a pill for and people take it.
Thank you for sharing your story. I have been looking at the positive aspects of cholesterol (cognitive maintenance) and following the same regime.
It works, early on not fun, but it works
I had no idea the impact that sugar had on my life, mood , mental clarity, a clean diet is everything.... scariest thing I've ever come to grips with.
Some people have said he is arrogant and condescending. I think not. Confidence in his subject does not equate arrogance.
i dont care about his personality...he is a beacon of truth! if ppl listened to him we would be a lot healthier in this country!
The snark factor tends to rise when you're preaching to the choir - as he is here. I would hope that it would go down when talking to physicians who are in the deepest need of learning this stuff. They are the gatekeepers. And if they're offended, we don't get anywhere.
The problem with UA-cam is that anyone can see this, so it would behoove him to speak as if he was speaking to the toughest crowd he'd ever known. _Then_ I'd be more willing to put this in my Playlist for what I want my Doctors to watch.
@@DarkMoonDroid Or, you can put it in your Playlist for it is chocked full of great information and just let the other doctors be the adults they should be and learn from the presentation whether of not they get butt hurt or not for his manner of presentation of medically inclined facts... and keep your emotions out of it all together. Sounds good to me.
@@witcheater Or you can eff-off and let me speak from my experience of being bullied by an oncology nurse and doctor at the possible expense of my life.
If you bully me too, I'll just report you, asshole.
Honestly he just seems like a man, who is angry that corporations are still allowed to do this, even though research has proven that it causes all these things like cancer, heart disease, diabeteses, obeseity...
He is an amazing human being and i'm glad we have him
I was a sugar addict my whole life . Having been in a situation of chronic stress for years i ate sugar to elevate my mood & feel better . It was my drug of choice . Last year i quit sugar cold turkey last year . This month i complete 16 months being sugar free & counting . I will never eat sugar again . Once a connosieur of fine chocolate today i don’t eat even high gi fruit . I’m not going back to sugar consumption ever again
Bravo.
🦉 WISEST OF CHOICES!! 👏👏👏
I eat 100% dark chocolate, still get the chocolate without the sugar
I will never give up all sugar entirely, but I do need to cut back to very little. I do well and then cave in. Get back on track pretty quickly. My brain hijacks me and convinced me it's fine to have "some". I need to save it for special occasions like birthdays. I just need to be strong through those moments of craving.
@@JanetSmith900 you need to give it up entirely
If only I had known now 40 years ago, I could have avoided a lot of health problems. At least I learned this last year and have turned things around. I've lost 65 pounds and no longer need blood pressure medication.
Well done you!
fantastic. this will pay off.
The blood pressure drop is very important, glad you mentioned it.
me too
Likewise
Dr. Lustig saves lives. He is one of my heroes!
Dr. Lustig should be running the WHO, CDC, and FDA.
Sorry, the qualification is zero integrity and a fear of humanity. Also you have to bung them millions of dollars.. Ask Billy Boy (Eugenics) Gates.
He’s too good for them (not evil enough for the Globalist) and besides he’s a decent human being who actually cares for people. W.H.O, CDC, FDA need dissolving anyway along with UN etc!!!
Rob is way too honest and good to be in the corrupt WHO. Rob would never fiddle data and poison people like Fauci has.
@@FayCreative So that's how bad Dr. Fauci is? Sorry but I don't know the person beyond he's being an infectious disease expert.
He needs to accept bribes, to be suitable to lead those organizations.
As a RN/MSN that works ICU/ER, this is one of, or the, best lecture I have ever watched. PROFOUNDLY important information that needs prolific distribution to the public. Your staff should be proud to work with you. What you are doing truly changes lives. Thank you Dr. Lustig for this OUTSTANDING presentation.
I am 50 years old, I got off sugar 2 years ago. I lost 70 lbs I am off all statins, gout and high blood pressure drugs now. Doctor said blood work is great! BP is now normal. Blood work for Liver and kidneys function was also great. I was on my way to diabetes, now my A1C is 5.1 I eat moderate high fiber carbs. Very low white sugar and processed foods. Thank you Dr. Lustig! You saved my life!
Amazing stuff! So happy for you. I wish my dad, who has rheumatoid arthritis, would listen. He just shrugs and says his doctor hasn’t mentioned any of this, so he doesn’t believe it.
I've learned more on youtube over the past month concerning sugar, carbs and intermittent fasting than my primary care physician knows. I am dead serious. Time to get a younger doctor or PCP who actually does some follow-on learning after med school.
Same here. My highly rated endocrinologist seems only to have vague awareness of these issues. As a Type 2 diabetic, he never once told me about limiting sugar or carbs. Now I'm following the science on the internet and doing much better than when I saw him.
The new doctors also don’t know much, sad isn’t it.
Doctors aren't trained in nutrition. They are trained to write prescriptions. Follow the money. There is no money to be made from healthy eating.
Me too Zane! I hear you!
I had a hard time quitting but now zero sugar; No idea if this is legitimate or a fraud but I tried a product at a health food store which is meant to control or eliminate a so called Candida yeast overgrowth internal which may cause sugar craving... anyway a licensed naturopath said it is OK to try it. I also use some pure Canadian maple syrup which is delicious and does not seem to cause me to have symptoms related to sugar. years ago I showed a bad rash to a doctor and he said Oh my God, does diabetes run in your family?
this is greatly underrated, he practically explained the cure of cancer, diabetes, and Alzeheimers (because of the fact that its known as diabetes type 3) this information is of great value.
My heart is bumping and my eyes are wet. Thinking at my oncologist saying. No, sugar is not the reason for cancer since the body produces glycogen as you don't eat sugar.
This is the situation when patients ask if cutting out sugar of the diat would have positive effects.
In my case I encounter so many doctors who stuck with the book they read back then in medical school. They have not developed and keep on talking shit. Yes it takes effort to keep being updated.
I am so sad!
Greatings from germany
+moccamo mo I remember being extremely frustrated with the Doctors, Nurses, hospitals and rehabilitation centers when dealing with my mother's diabetes complications. They would bring her sugar all the time. Even the hospital's diabetic meals were a joke! The nurse would give her ice cream and when I questioned it she told that they'd just give a little more insulin to compensate for it.
I used to have the nastiest brain tumour the size of a tennis ball, Doctors said I had 3 months to live and could not treat me as I was to far gone. 10 years later I look at those doctor and laugh. The thing you need to know is that cancer is a dietary disease. Protein (animal products only) is the fire and sugar (including fruit) is the fuel - don't eat the fire and don't pour on fuel and you will be fine and in fact you will feel the healthiest you could ever be.
Psychologie der Massen ....
Spielt da auch rein
@@Islamisthecultofsin i had similar experiences. A relative almost die ir got a serios shock from the food ,which they served in a hospital.
And the relative had diabetes typ2 so insulin dont even help. And the relative told to the nurses and dictors.
Still they setved bad ,sugary food. And used insulin after wards. Try to compensating bad sugary food. Which didnt work ofcourse.
They told me diet had nothing to do with my IBD. Not trusting them gave me back my life :p
One of the best scientist ever
4 months ago I was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes. My HbA1c (blood glucose) was 73 mmol/mol. Since then I have moved to a mainly wholefoods diet with little processed food and no UPF. I eat many organic things where possible. I eat strictly pumpernickel for bread, no refined carbs, no potatoes, ZERO added sugar and control carb portions to around 50g per meal. I enjoy cheese, fatty natural yoghurt, whole milk and snack on nuts, which keeps my fat intake at a good level. Kimchi, sauerkraut and yoghurt help my microbiome. I have also done a morning workout (exercise bike and weights) 4-5 times a week and have taken 500mg of Metformin twice a day. In 4 months I have lost 17.5Kg/2St 10lbs/38.5lbs and my blood test results today show a HbA1c of 36mmol/mol, which is amazing!
Sugar is poision .....great presentation on obesity and cancer...lot of myths of diet sugar is scientifically clarified.Thank u from India.
Sugar is poison AND highly addictive!
Bravo. Have you heard of pure Canadian maple syrup? I still use it but no sugar and have had no problems with it so far.
sugar is just there thus its not its fault :)... its us who utilizes' it at fault & the mercenary biz people who just want to make money..
when sugar was just from sugarcane, not much of this has been considered a crisis..its when some other sugar is develop from other plants + total abuse by culinary industry creating pastries w excessive use of sugar :(
@@marilougo6084 it's when it was refined and concentrated, same thing with coffee, same thing with cocaine, same thing with most of "food"
Free roam chickens and eggs along with grass fed beef is worth the money. Also, support your organic farmers. Your health will greatly improve as long as you cut the sugar.
Dec 2022. My brother In law is having serious cancer treatment in Shreveport. They are telling him to cut out sugar because they now understand it feeds cancer. So some good news on that aspect.
Yes it is good news . The oncologists usually say " eat anything's ng you want. Your diet has nothing to do with your cancer."
I honestly wanted this to continue. I’ll have to repeat watching this video.
You’ll learn more each time you do.
Mott Girl -- LUSTIG has LOTS of other vids!! Very informative! Dr. Chris Knobbe's presentation on SEED OILS -- has the extra mile of completing information. 40 minutes long -- but life changing!!
Dear Prof Lustig, your lectures are always mind boggling and this is one of them I was waiting for! Being a diabetologist myself and blindly following so called best practice guidelines for 28 years, I ended up asking myself, whether I am a victim or partner of greatest medical science scam that is going around! I still do not understand why Hippocrates old saying " Thy medicine is thy food and thy food is thy medicine" is ignored by our medical fraternity. Believe it or not most of my longest surviving patients are on Low Carb diet, I am not sure about their fat intake, despite my advise to be liberal on saturated fat! I would be grateful if you permit me to quote and use some of your slides for educational purpose.
avoiding high intakes of sugar, and processed toxins as vegetable oils is key to live better, longer and much much healthier. Avoiding crop pesticides will definitily help as well. Ecological food. Its REALLY hard avoding all these daily enviromental toxins we humans produce and put on our food. It shouldnt be. Its sad that its not talked about or brought up more often mainstream
I think it would be better to ask for permission to use Dr Lastig's materials per email, because he probably does not read UA-cam comments. You will definitely find his email address at his official uni webpage.
Nobel Prize! Makes me so sad, that the truth is diluted by corporate for decades.
The medical profession is at fault primarily
Yes, so sad people thought were fat due to lack of will power. Did not read labels and know that the food makers add sugar, corn syrup, and vegetables oils to your diet as they add to extend the quantity of food and make money.
start reading labels are amazed. Even put sugar in bacon and ketchup.
Years ago a doctor here in Sweden , stated that I have fat in my liver. No more ! Well he said that can be reduced if you loose weight. !!!!!! He did not give me an idea of how dangerous this is. He did not talk diet. He did not schedule an other appointment. This was in a hospital. My own doctor just told me that he has a belly too- as if I did not notice. Now I take matters into my own hands. I should also use said hands to slap these doctors- if only it would help. Thanks goes to Dr Lustig and other docs of low carb / carnivore / anti sugar . Don’t do legal drugs - don’t do fructose .
Oh yes- I offered to send a s... load of videos to my doctor . He said he didn’t have time for that. I said you don’t have time not to see these videos - because everybody will be sick in the future if we continue as before. Again : thank you dr Lustig( and you are even “ Lustig” in a German sense )
yes indeed there are a lot of drs too lazy to explain , or too ignorant. It is a shocking situation. The wrong message was sent out for 60 years. Fat in the food is the danger ! ! NO It is the sugar which makes the fat danger
You might want to get your arteries checked. Make sure your TC/HDL ratio is lower than 3.5.
@TB1M1
Triglycerides/HDL. Should be less than 2 mg/dL ratio and 1 or less is the best ! Numbers without units are nude !😁
doctors are people too, and many of them in medical profession for the purpose of earning a good living with a skill set and knowledge based. Other special doctors are not in it for the money / earn a living, but to advance human society by preventing disease and treating illness. Dr. Lustig belong to this rare category of mavens. I think in general people assume all doctors are driven by "do good for no profit" belief when reality only a few could hold up such ideal.
"Lustig" mean "fun time" if I remember the SPIEL I read. (THE 'AD' WAS YEARS OLD) advertising about a Lutheran "Oktoberfest" in Galveston, Texas.
Fantastic lecture Doctor . It's so reassuring that there are people like you out there looking to prevent illness . ' Just because you are obese it doesn't mean you are sick , but just because you are thin doesn't mean you are healthy ' .
The first person's advice I followed when starting out cutting processed food out 4 + years ago now has now also solved a mystery I have been searching for for several years that even my own Endo couldn't tell me - why I had low and then high lactate dehydrogenase. This man is a gem.
Great info here!!
Ladies and Gentlemen, we are watching a hero.
We sure are! I’ve just posted this lecture to FB. In the hope more people listen and get it.
No kidding.
Agreed.
Love listening to Prof Lustig, he explains everything so clearly with supporting data, thank you for uploading this talk
His Sugar The Bitter Truth presentation got me into low carb 3 years ago
I got into low carb after losing about 40 to 50-lb doing the pizza diet. it's like the Subway diet you give up on everything and you just eat the same s*** every day until you lose weight and if you don't it doesn't matter cuz you're going to die anyway and if you do it doesn't matter cuz you'll never lose it all.
I had just given up.
then I learned some science about low carb decided to give it a try was kind of iffy on it because the skeptic community has been very negative Nancy on it and dismissive. But within 2 weeks the knee brace came off I had more energy less depression and I went from being hungry regularly to eating once a day, and then for three days I just stopped getting hungry so I didn't really eat and before I knew it I had gone a 3-day fast when before I would try to eat healthy by steaming French greens and putting some teriyaki sauce, but just a little bit and before I know it I'm light-headed and low blood sugar.
That's why I was doing the pizza diet because there was nothing I could do to get my hunger in blood sugars permanently under control.
at least not without eating a lot of meat which is supposed to be bad for you which I didn't really understand because I don't know how native populations could have that drives by forging two thousand calories for 30 different people every day.
could you throw up a link to that presentation here?
I love your kitty.
He was also 1 of my starting points for low carb as well
Its quite funny to me that you went there, because nothing he says lends itself to low carb.
Low sugar and low processed shit, sure, but there is literally nothing wrong with a bunch of baked potato with the peel.
Massive amount of carbs, completely fine as it comes with fibre and all the rest of it that you need.
I guess it tells you something about most modern diets that people conflate processed, sugery shit with "all carbs".
Corporations rule the Western World for profit,...unimaginable profits! Covid is part of the scheme for the moment; tomorrow there will be a different driver & our media outlets in kahootz with them, everyone getting paid, therfore participating. No public outcry over killing our children OTW to adulthood with toxic food and keep them hooked until their bodies give out; beginning with the shame of what s on the menu in public schools. It is so strange that no one worries about general health of toddlers, however is freaked out to the max about a virus which has been with us for ages. Sugar sure kills brain cells!
I still feel that Prof Lustig's and his colleagues work presented here is probably the most significant medical dietary and health breakthrough this century. Without a doubt it is incredibly significant and should shape the food industry going forward !!
This is the best talk on metabolic syndrome I have ever seen!
Grateful to the conference organizers for letting Dr. Lustig go over-time, that was really useful info especially toward the end. My grandfather and father both died of cancer, and because of this talk I will take specific actions in hopes to not be the 3rd in a row.
Love this man! It's great what he's doing in schools! I watched a documentary with him from about 5yrs ago, about sugar and balled. It changed my life and made me want to quit sugar! I'm in that process, now. God bless, Prof. Lustig!
we are lucky to have such scientists and medical doctors like Lustig
Boom! The modern grandad of LC & protect the liver. Who wouldn't be here if it wasn't for his seminal 2009 talk?
❤️❤️❤️Dr Lustig !! God bless his work!!
Absolutely right on that!

Another great lecture by Dr Robert Lustig !! I wish I understood what i heard in Sugar the Bitter Truth I Listened to in 2008 - but no I had to get T2D first (Feb 2019) and find keto / carnivore and lose my uterus and ovaries.
@Rachel Hollingsworth you won't get a response because fake news
Cancer feeds on glucose - so I understand.
Started Keto again yesterday. ALREADY FEEL BETTER!! Rebounded 48 lbs from a 105 lb weight loss in 9 months. So sad, but I'll be smart this time. Long IF is not for me. I pushed the limits and really weakened myself.
A -fib, severe hair loss, general total body weakness resulted. Thin but weak...and I ate well, plenty of protein I thought, but after reviewing my daily diet Journal I see that I was adding carbs in justifiable ways, chocolate, red potato, pinto beans...SOME of us are Insulin resistant (severely) AND hyperinsulinemic TOO. This problem is all about behavior. I need to be grateful keto works and revel in it! ALSO, Leaky gut is REAL and I will address it earnestly this time around. God is 👍 good. **THANK YOU GENTLEMAN for teaching us applicable science so we can heal. 😘😁

@@OrbitalTrails-x5s no it isn't. Dietary fat does not increase body fat. If it did, our ancestors would have been obese as they consumed more fat than we do now, but they weren't. They were in better shape than most people now.
creme is a good filler
This was absolutely a wonderful presentation! We definitely need to take our health back into our own hands first of all, by re-educating ourselves and our children, about nutrition, and better understanding of how and why our food choices matter so much, for preventing so many of the chronic illnesses, cancer and sickness in general.
The second thing we need to do is collectively stop buying poisonous, toxic, processed foods, petition the food production companies to improve, or loose our business, to the increasingly new, small food companies, who are rising to meet the demand of what more and more people are wanting, which is real food, organic produce, not the GMO, chemicals, preservatives, lab made crap that’s been making so many people sick and die!
While we won’t hold our breath waiting for the food industry to catch up, we should still hold them accountable, and as the saying goes, money speaks volumes to big corporations, big pharmaceutical too!
The more we learn, share with others, the better we can prevent and heal, by buying from local farmers, helping small farms stay in business, since they have been almost completely wiped out by big factory farming, only concerned with their bottle line profit, and unfortunately has been allowed to use poison pesticides and insecticides, GMO’s.. controlling farmers seeds as well! The people of the US has not been represented by the majority of our many government agencies, and while big corporations, banks, and our government has become rich off of us, they have too much power, control and are right now in our face showing they don’t care about our country, and will do as they please!
Who is sick and tired of being sick and tired, seeing loved ones suffer, die too early, and paying so much money, working so hard for crappy food, crappy health care and paying more and more for it all? We need to learn container balcony gardening, back to basics with learning things our great grandparents learned. I think realizing how much better people start to feel, while making healthier choices and taking responsibility for our own health more, will bring confidence and encouragement to others, as they see how much improvement in their health they see they can create! I know I’ve been motivated by others, who are proof, living, whole, non toxic food can be our medicine!
Holy smokes. This is amazing and brilliant. Everyone should know this. Thank you so much for sharing!
James Muir I suggest you watch all his presentations.This man has changed my life. Also Jason Fung brilliant men
My early doctors COULD HAVE known this but med school stuffed a lot of it.
2:50 - cancers that seem to be associated with obesity
7:25 - then how come the normal weight people are getting diabetes as fast
8:50 - MHO
29:50 - where that fat come from ( liver fat )
45:00 - cancer
48:50 - glucose is absolutely vital for cancer cells
50:45 - mTOR
They need insulin and perhaps their pancreas can't keep up because of the high sugar diet we are all eating. Type 2 diabetes is not about being fat although that is often a symptom. Our pancreas has have to make an inordinate amount of insulin to keep our blood sugar in check. Many people are walking around with high insulin levels and they do not know it
I was profoundly moved, if not compelled, to stop eating sugar and processed food after listening to Dr. Lustig. The first week was tough, but I made it. I'm 55, and the following conditions completely cleared up within two weeks:
-Psoriasis around the eyes and mouth
-Gum disease
-Arthritis pain in hip and hands
-Painful leg cramps that would awaken me nightly
-Brain fog
-Fatigue and tiredess, and joint stiffness
-Gut and digestion issues
-Hemoroids
-Belly fat and love handles melted away
-
I sleep so much better. I have seemingly unlimited energy. My mental clarity and focus has improved beyond anything I've ever experienced in 55 years. Depression has dissolved. I have never felt this good in my whole life.
Thank you, Dr. Lustig for making sense.
Any time I need encouragement to cook for myself I come watch a Lustig lecture and then am newly motivated to avoid ultra processed food. Such a dangerous drug!
I do the same - Dr. Lustig or Dr. William Li. Dr. Li reminds me of how many tasty good foods are out there and Dr. Lustig reinforces why I should be eating them.
i wish that everyone that does not know about metabolic syndrome, or diabetes type 2, or insulin resistance, or adipose fat, would watch this video to understand how important the avoidance of sugars and high fructose corn syrup is.
Just skip the carbohydrates!
Are fruit sugars bad?
@@FeelingPeculiar I think the high sugar fruits would be if too much too often....
Is there a good word for a factor that is delivered to the portal vein in the form of glucose and a word for the same for fructose?
Rubbish. You can easily get diabetes without eating any vegetable oil or HFCS..
What a brilliant teacher!! Was so bored of biochemistry until this lecture. Thank you Dr Lustig ❤️
Great info here!!
@Frederico no fiber . . . maybe they pooped only once a month.
@Frederico Fiber absorbs some of the fructose allowing it to make its way to the colon where the gut flora feeds on it so that we don't have to
So are your info Dr Ken
KenDBerryMD Do you know the date of this presentation?
Excellent information.
I have epilepsy and I started doing keto diet 2-3 months per year also started eating on 16/8 hr schedule. My mom god diagnosed with cancer 2 years ago I've made my research on low carb and sugar and The Wardburg Effect a some time before and kinda knew the sphere so after her surgery I urged her to consult her doctors and try fasting/keto. The doctors have told her "if it was like that we would tell everyone to do it". My mother died a month ago and the reason was that her intestines disintegrated because of effects of "preventative" chemo therapy being given to her for 2 years even in the time her markers were below average. Mine and my family's life experience convinced me that "Every cured person is a client lost". After all the human way is threating others as persons not assets but obviously not the contemporary medicine's one. Hippocrates's oath is obviously regarded as something formal a lot of doctors do before becoming businessmen. War is being waged against us in the illusion that the world has no major wars anymore.
i would love for my family and friends to watch this video and learn from it, my sister for example is a terminal cancer patient, but even though i try to get them to atleast reduce the amount of sugar they intake i cant get them to believe it and they wont sit through videos like this,,,at least my wife and daughter followed me in embracing the low carb diet real food diet.
Tell you sister to eat broccoli and almonds. Also...to drink lime water and lemon water.
The thing about things like this; u can't tell it to anyone that doesn't want to truly know it. Theres just no way, and it's not your job to make sure THEY don't neglect themselves (& everyone else, along w them), which they are, unfortunately. Brainwashing is a hell of a drug
know the feeling... was fighting both medical system and family when my mum got GBM (brain cancer)
Same here. Mum got breast cancer. She was on those highly sugary chocolate protein shakes.
Persist, in making them hear snippets! Eventually, they will come round! Bit.by bit, some of my family have started to change their diets. Be patient.
Fantastic video.
Dr. Lustig makes it so clear! He has a magnificent mind.
Absolutely amazing presentation. Thank God we have people like you 'fighting the fight'.
You have combined my years of trying to get "pieces" of the truth into one presentation. Thank you Robert!
This study would appear to suggest that there is grounds for a class action case against high fructose corn syrup manufacturers and most of the manufacturers of soda pop using fructose along with other food manufacturers using high fructose corn syrup for the adverse health effects they have caused in countless humans that is more substantial than any claims ever filed against the tobacco industry.
The most important thing to think about for ANY meat, even chicken is how was it raised and how was it finished. Grass fed AND finished beef and lamb is good. Grass fed and cotton seed supplemented is BAD (this is a common practice in Australia, particularly in drought conditions. Chicken is typically supplemented with soy feed but even GMO free SOY is no good for us and the same may also apply to "pasture fed" pork. Feedlot anything is carb loaded
"Feedlot anything is carb loaded". I think that is false. Meat is protein and fat with zero carbohydrates, regardless of what the animal is fed. Grass-feeding may change the composition and quality of meat proteins and fats compared to grain-feeding, but feeding animals carbohydrates does not turn the their meat into "bread".
@Vegan Game Over In pork and chicken, the way they are fed is really important because it changes that fatty acid composition so much. But in beef, there are miniscule changes when it comes to Omega 3:6 ratio etc.
Saladino and Teichholz have a video on chicken and pork
@Asherah 1147 you're a joke and your name is rather filthy. An "ASHERAH" was a HEWN "fertility" POLE/ROCK ERECTED FOR VENERATION. Meaning it was a phallic symbol shaped like a phallus. So I guess you deserve the name D***he*d .
@@labynoe it does make them fattier though, look at American steak/chicken vs other countries. Especially the legs for chickens
I never tire of listening to him.
I never make it till the end. His narcissistic personality is too much for me. I prefer Dr. Mason who is a genius and a humble one. Highly recommend.
I just found this channel and have been watching all the videos during a rheumatoid arthritis flair up.
I found this gentleman after being medically retired from a very physical job which I loved. I felt sorry for myself and ended up putting on tons of weight. Watching the effects of sugar, fast food, carbohydrates I gave up everything with an ingredients list…..six years later I went from 196 lb to 130lb with no problem. Never put back any weight.
Sadly I still have RA because it is genetic but the flair ups have reduced in intensity and timing.
Loved it. Thank you. In the Indian context....you are right when you say we are not obese and yet we have 11% cases for diabetes. Wonder why? Depending on which part of India you are looking at; we are ingesting sugar at different times with different combination but not with meals. This to me is the main differentiation.
i) North India: Not lean but not obese either: No sugar (fructose) with food and it comes in the form of fruits, milk and tea at different times.
ii) East India: Extremely lean people: Hog on carbs (mostly boiled) but quantity is a lot higher & some fish/chicken as well. Sugar intake is in the form of tea, biscuits etc but again not with meals.
iii) Western (Gujarat mainly): Significant number of Fat people: Add sugar in their food. Love sugar but otherwise have low appetite - eat less food overall as compare to other regions.
Iv) South India: Strong mix of lean & little abdominal fat: Use lot of unsaturated oil in their high carb food. Sweet tea and other sweats.
So yes, there is a sugar intake but since it is not clubbed with food; it doesn't make the person obese. But sugar is sugar....The Diabetes and Cancer! A lot of us become insulin resistant for sure and hence we are likely to get it either being obese or staying normal. In contrast if you look at poor people; their main source of energy is 'sugar' via tea. Very high sugar and even though they burn it in the form of energy, they don't seem metabolically healthy either in my experience dealing with a few over the years.
Here is my hypothesis:
It is the combination and it makes it worse if you are either high on carbs or fat and mixes it with sugar. One of the main reasons for obesity is 'Sugar' in America which is ingested mainly via soft drinks & sweet tea with the food.
An incident worth quoting: Once I was ordering food in a small restaurant at the counter in US. After I ordered the food, the girl at the counter asked me what drink? I said 'nothing'. I still can't forget the look she gave me :)
Interesting Umesh, thx! Do you know incidence of diabetes in those regions of India that you wrote about above? Maybe South India highest or what?
@@user_375a82 Yes Martin, I just checked and it seems that my above analysis is far more accurate than I thought! Click on the link and all the states that you see have lower incidents are states that reflect mainly poor population (meaning no access to sugar but for white sugar in their tea). Even though they survive on carbs but the percentage would be a lot lower because they burn all carbs while working and stay lean. But add to those carbs alcohol, sugar & less vitamins; they cant be metabolically healthy.
In comparison South Indian states where they use more unsaturated oil has higher prevalence and so are north eastern states where they eat more carbs in rice form. Having said that, as mentioned in the article, the percentages would be a lot higher (may be double) if tested.

I did a small experiment with my father (78 years) - kept him on low carbs - 20% - 25% (that's the best they can do here) for 6/7 weeks. He lost 4 kilos even after eating carbs to that level. Got him out of it and let him eat his regular carb loaded food for 3 weeks. Took care of the sweet by stopping his milk in the night, limiting fruits and decreasing carbs in breakfast. He started from 75 kilos when i started low carb diet with him and he is at 71 kilos this morning even after being on carbs diet for 3 weeks. He is definitely not insulin resistant which is a relief. It will be interesting to see his blood reports after another 2 weeks on this diet. He is been healthy metabolically but for mild Asthma which has subsided post LCHF diet. I also want to check if his asthma troubles him again.
I am on a research on LCHF with 20% carbs and a lot of people dismissed it because everybody wants to follow the written low of 5% carbs. However, we must realist that it is not possible in every society and most definitely not in Indian society where everything we eat until we die is high on carbs. Have a read and let me know what you think about it:
umeshchhikara.com/2020/05/04/diet-research-part-ii-nutrition-performance/
I know LCHF guys won't like it but I have to look at what is possible in our society.
And also the state of Gujarat where I mentioned they mix sugar in their food has highest percentage of approx 9%.
My God ....Liver is only organ who is responsible for everything
In 2013 I went keto and knew SE Asians could eat rice and fruit in large amounts and stay thin. In recent years US fast food chains have flourished and SE Asians are getting obese. You focus on combining is a good one and you're not alone.
I think fructose/sugar = the biggest problem.
This just made me want to fast even more!
I will definitely watch any video with this kind, verbose and intelligent man.
Ditto!!!
Hear, Hear!
Watched the whole thing. And I'll be really honest...he kinda lost me with the complicated terms and the science. But I understood the message very well. This has out things in a new perspective for me.
I will share this knowledge wherever I go.
You have to take classes to learn. It is very truthful
I like how he treats different patients differently.
A lot of new revolutionary thoughts about dangers of sugar. Awesome stuff!
Still it looks like sugar alone does not explain everything, and seed oils are contributing a lot to the disease side of equation independant of obesity.
I agree. Insulin and inflammation are serial killers who pay the jet fuel bills of the few.
Stress is a huge issue in my opinion, too.
Go back to animal fats.cut out oils made from vegetables
many breads in fastfood are putting plasic or wood some type in tmem
food industry should be held accountable and pay for our health insurance
Won’t see that on The Today Show! Too bad
Cuz they're corporate owned crap
This MD is extremely inquisitive and insightful in his analysis making connections and correlations and causation. Got emotional when he talked about sugar and fructose impact on the cell process with cancer. That was sooo disturbing to know so many people have lost their lives as result of greed..
Yet, the people are still responsible for their choices. We have to remain self aware, self reliant bc if we make ourselves victims then how do we circle back to empower ourselves?!
love the passion and statistic-centric slides!
that talk was worthy of a standing ovation... it should be mandatory viewing in medical school and in the meetings of the board responsible for the dietary guidelines in all countries...
Many thanks for making this public. I had 107 kg weight and this was too much. I reduced sugar and reduced bread and ate more other things including vegetables, meat, and butter. I cooked myself and lost 10 kg and kept this for over 10 years.
The main thing in my case was Insulin. After I changed it i did not become hungry short after the meals anymore, except we ate outside of home.
Every day I cooked the meals I took with me to work when changing my life style. I did not know how much sugar they put into the meals.. (In Germany lunch at about 12 am is the main meal.)
I ate really large portions and my collegues were astonished when I said I want to lose weight. But I lost, just avoiding sugars an most of other carbon hydrats.
At first my wife was astonished, because I put lots of things on one slice of bread rather than eating 3 or 4 slices as before. Two years ago I started to bake the Bread miself, and my wife liked it much.
I'll always be grateful to Prof. Lustig, he has been the most prominent voice in all this madness around sugar. I first heard him back in 2012 before all this keto stuff started, he is someone to be respected and acknowledged for starting this whole line of thought.
Professor speaks with the passion and conviction of a evangelical pastor. He's fascinating.
"You can't tell if someone is sick by looking at them!" (paraphrased from my recollection.) Liver fat predicts metabolic disease and excess fructose causes fatty liver, whether you're obese or thin. Thank you, Prof. Lustig!
Quality information here. It's such a shame this isn't better understood and applied by so many people.
Prof Lustig thank you for all you do.
Thank you Dr Robert once again for such a clear explanations of pathways to describe the Correlation between Cancer / Sugar , the recommendations of introducing refined starch may not be in sync with LCHF folks but i gather its more a personalized approach and depends on factors related to fat distribution rather than BMI. I still watch your sensational first video which changed my life forever.
Who else Enjoys Dr. Lusting's Lectures 👌👌. His Lectures esp Sugar the Bitter Truth helped me Loose over almost 40KG👌👌
I now don't drink Fizzy, my life changed. The Atenol for high blood pressure I was prescribed by my GP in 2017 is still in my cupboard as a souvenir...now 2020 and still enjoying his Lectures🌷🌷
Dietary fiber - "If you don't feed your microbiome, your microbiome will feed on you" - that struck a cord.
Why do I have to learn this on my random stroll on youtube? That is criminal.
Love watching this guy he gave me a new knowledge of sugar and how bad it is for the human body, I now avoid it 95 percent of the time.......I now read labels on the food I buy religiously 5 yrs now.
Great Lecture! Always love listening to Dr Lustig.
Thank you Sir and the whole team who provided us with this enlightened research. Both my mother and her sister died of breast cancer having gotten it originally in their mid 50's, At age 67 I have often wondered how I dodged that bullet. I eat much more fruit and veggies (still not enough), get much more exercise too but you illuminated it for me as I began eating a Fiber Rich Diet to combat chronic constipation 47 years ago. Now I will double that.
Dr. Lustig is brilliant! I understood virtually everything he spoke about.
Dr Lustig-I am so supportive of what you are trying to do..I apply these guidelines in my practice..I have your book -Fat Chance-on a side-table in consulting room...I hope this video is seen by all medical doctors.
JOHN GL Slabbert that’s awesome!! He has a great website too! Www.robertlustig.com
Dr.Lustig.....you and Dr.william Davis author of "Wheat Belly".... changed my life . Going on 2 years and normal body weight....50 pounds gone forever.
Thank you
Pseduoscientific garbage. Dr Burkitt would be rolling in his grave.
all the processed food bad for you.
Best scientific video on food I’ve seen this year. Not often do I learn so much from one video.
It's not just about the sugar. There's another major component to Metabolic Syndrome: PROCESSED SEED OILS; more specifically, it's the Omega-6 oils such as Linoleic Acid that directly cause inflammation and metabolic syndrome INDEPENDENTLY of sugar intake. The major offenders are: Corn Oil, Soybean Oil, Safflower Oil, Canola Oil, Peanut Oil and Cottonseed Oil. These oils are highly refined and purified products, stripped of any micronutrients. These oils are not readily metabolized by the mitochondria. Mother Nature intended these oils to be consumed by animals that hibernate in the Winter, fattening them up to survive long periods without eating. But we humans do not hibernate, and eating such oils in excess of 200 grams daily on today's average consumption has caused us to become fat and sick. We should all stop eating these oils, euphemistically labeled as "vegetable oils", and return to eating animal fats such as butter, tallow, lard and suet. Read the works of Gary Taubs and Nina Teicholz and learn about this poison in our food supply.
Nailed it 👍
do not dab your bacon fat. Eat it. You will be amazed at how guilty you feel. Just know that tells you how brain washed you can become.
Absolutely! Research Dr. Chris Kanobi
Absolutely brilliant work and presentation. Thank you Dr Lustig. I will add that I am following Dr Esselstyn's diet after a MI event and this diet has changed my life. I'm sure that Dr Esselstyn's and Dr Lustig's work are complementary. My blood work has become almost 'perfect'. My weight normalised and my fitness levels are insane compared to what I was used to (maybe I was really sick!).
This information is so helpful and very informative. You should see what they feed some of those poor people living in nursing homes. They give them a big piece of cake with juice, and then a small amount of food a toddler would struggle to survive on. For snacks they give them Cheetos, and chips. My poor brother lasted about six months there.
How you stretch food. Use oil and sugar. That is how they do it for animal foods. Corn good too.
This potentially life saving/transforming information needs to be broadcast widely and urgently.
Great speaker ! God bless U Dr. Lustig
I have been following Mr. Lusting ever since 2014
I love this man for his non conformity and clever thinking. Brilliant as always!
I am on the path of cutting out more and more sugar from my diet. But this Dr Listigs research definitely has motivated me to speed it up.
FYI: Based upon a previous video he’s about 74yrs old and looks great and is coherent and driving global change. Definitely goals!!!!!
He is 63.
brain needs animal fat to get amino acids is said. Also eggs
Like trying to get a drink of water from a fire hose. Very information dense. I would like to listen to Dr. Lustig when he didn't have to worry about the clock. The tie-in with cancer is particularly interesting.
Mahirap talagang kalaban ang malalaking korporasyon at hindi madali ang ginagawa niya kahit pa sa kabutihan ng lahat kung binabangga naman niya mismo ang mga nagpopondo ng mga pagaaral na mga iyan.

Well! Coke a Cola did put Cocaine in that drink initially, to get people hooked.
This man is the reason i went back to the university to study nutrition science. Thank you sir.
Great man, great scientist, great presentation, great delivery!
Really grateful to Dr Lustig. I started listening to his lectures earlier this year. Went low carb and lost 3 stone prior to calling my own Dr back. My liver function was apparently very skewed last week since the last time it was last tested (2019). I barely ever drink so I have a feeling I would have been told to lose weight/stop eating sugar if I hadn't already had a food diary and be back in normal BMI range. Now waiting on further testing.
Lustig is a riveting speaker and by far the most informative Doctor I have ever has the pleasure of listening and learning from. A life saver.
Except it's all wrong. If you want to get rid of diabetes you have to address the issue of lipotoxemia.
Professor Lustig - The Hero We Need But Don't Deserve.
The more I learn about processed foods and what is in them, the more I stay away. I am trying to stay under 25 carbs per day and cut out sugar, HFCS, carrageenan, nitrates and nitrites, etc. It is amazingly scary what the food manufacturers put in food and drink to make it "taste better" and "more palitable"
The "more palatable" excuse specifically about cranberry juice still makes me laugh
Unbelievably important lecture
Wow I was in the Mt. Diablo Unified School District he mentions growing up. Wish we had this guy as a kid!
