I’m a physician board certified in integrative and metabolic medicine, a former surgical sub-specialist, with a long term interest in preventative health and longevity. I agree with everything he said here. This is excellent information that would benefit all physicians and other health care providers as well as parents and public health officials. Unfortunately there are a myriad of vested financial interests that will attempt to deflect attention away from fructose, processed foods, and alcohol as the culprits for the poor health that unfortunately afflicts so many. The good news is people can take charge of their health starting today by selecting healthy foods, exercising moderately, and getting good nightly sleep.
I'm glad you know about nutrition support. Our environment has been doused with radiation, plastics, herbicides, pesticides; it's good to care for your health as best you can. I also want to stop blaming people who get cancer and other related illnesses. Thank you for spending your life helping other people! ❤
Thank you for your thoughtful comment Todd. As a Holistic Nurse, who was also well grounded in functional and buy a regulatory medicine, it can be disheartening to see such suffering, and know that there are answers, and yet to see people so entrenched in their food habits that they seem so unlikely to change them. It’s heartens me to know that physicians like you are out there urging them on inch by inch alongside folks like me. Much love and many blessings in your work and practice.
@@michellebewell thank you for helping people heal.
No just limit the amount. Some researchers feel staying under 8g per serving won’t stimulate the fat storing switch. For example an orange has about 6g of fructose. Remember fructose and galactose are 7 times more likely to bind to proteins and fats ( advanced glycation end products) vs glucose/starch. These end products often next get oxidized then the body’s immune system views them as damaged and this stimulates an immune response to eliminate them hence “ sugar causes inflammation.” For me, at this point based on my current understanding, it’s best to limit processed sugar bc of the fructose and overall the amount of carbohydrates eaten in one meal and over the day. The industrial seed oils are problematic as well primarily because of being GMO and pesticide laden. Sugar from sugar beet is often GMO btw. Start by staying under 100g of carbohydrates daily, limit fructose and see how your metabolic health parameters improve i.e. Glucose, A1C, insulin, triglycerides, VLDL, blood pressure, %body fat.
Bless you, doctor, and bless Dr. Lustig, and all you who are helping with solid information.
If your Liver doesn't work well then the extra stress goes straight to your Pancreas. That profoundly hit me. It is always an honor to hear Dr. Lustig speak
You can help your liver by not exceeding the daily sugar allowance as recommended by Dr Lustig. Simply do this by not eating soda,fruit juice, white bread , or cereal , in particular. Even abstaining from ordinary sugar in tea/coffee makes a real improvement to the liver .
@@kenadams5504 Been there done that. After just a week of sugar abstinence I felt a big change in my brain health and general mood. I am now very sensitive to sweet. Just a spoonful of sugar is enough for me to vomit
My father in-law had pancreatic cancer. I now know exactly how it happened. He loved soda and cookies and no good foods.
I learned this about 3 years ago and refused to continue statins and the "healthy diet" according to the medical field. Had a huge argument with my cardiologist about being on a ketogenic diet. I've never felt better. HDL higher than ever (48) and TG under 70. No sugar, no fruit, no seed oils. No processed foods.
I can't get enough of Dr. Lustig's presentations.The information I have gained may well have saved my life.
Yep, I'm a recovering processed food addict and whenever I get cravings I watch one of his talks and then I get so mad about food companies ravaging our physical and mental health and our economy for their own profit and that anger allows me to overcome the cravings out of spite. They don't get to continue preying on me! We should all be mad about this!
Can’t agree more with you.
My nomination for the Secretary of Health is Dr. Robert Lustig. I wonder if any members of Congress watched this video.
And yet, most doctors still blame cholesterol and saturated fat. Try talking to them about this stuff and they look at you like you’re the problem. How dare you question their authority!
Yup. My cardio Doc is still trying to ram statins down my throat. I'm now getting ready to do doppler and cardiac calcium and plant to do the LDL particle size nonsense again to prove my point. I will not take statinns ever again.
fire them!! Tell them and your insurance you fired them
Protocol
The highest form of ignorance is when, you reject something you know nothing about.
So true , same with my doctor . She tells me , "don`t listen to UA-cam ,nonsense .
I’ve been eating a lot of eggs, meat and fat. All my lipids went down.
When I told my Dr I was eating a ton of eggs meat and fats and all my lipids went down 20-30 points. And I lost a ton of weight. He sat there silent.
It's all gonna send you to an early grave. Keto works only short term. It's your choice ultimately. Atkins died with coronary heart disease. Big keto promoter.
@@robinwilson8435
I eat more fish and chicken now. My food is all grilled or broiled.
You lost weight because of calorie restriction. Nothing else.
@@Bonespur2JailaConvictedFelon
True but if I ate 500 calories bowl of pasta I ‘d be hungry again in a couple hours and eat more. If I ate 500 calorie chopped steak I ‘d be fine until the next day. If I eat a 140 calorie pork or beef kabob it’s not the same as a 140 calorie coca cola. Not all calories are equal.
@@MrGeorgewf chicken has as much fat as beef, and most fish is heavily laden with mercury and PCBs, not to mention the amount of salmonella in chicken that's difficult to kill/remove from your countertop/cutting board. Unless you're buying chicken from a small place, it's likely factory farmed and loaded with antibiotics and steroids. Run, don't walk, away from that crap.
Give Nobel prize to Dr Lustig - the amount of health care cost savings besides improved lives - phenomenal.
Following Dr Lustig will save millions of lives...Exceptional physician whose heart is for the people...Love you Sir...
I am a dentist and I find this enlightening
Dr. Lustig's book "Metabolical" is a must read for all US physicians!
Yes it is, I got mine
My whole family is sharing a copy of Metabolical. Most important book in our library!
Lustig is changing our world, one institution at a time. What a hero. My guy, thank you from the bottom of my low carb heart #ketolife
gem of a lecture. easy enough for anyone with interest to follow. great job my dude.
Love and admire Robert H. Lustig. He changed me when I seen him do Sugar; The Bitter Truth,,an amazing man, i enjoy listening to him always 🥑
Wow! 😮 Dr. Lustig, you are my hero. I love how you bring everything together and it’s all backed by clinical studies. My doctor wants to put me on statins even though my HDL and triglyceride numbers are good. Thank you for educating us so we are better able to make needed changes and advocate for ourselves as well. God bless you.
same. i have dave feldman's phenotype; lean mass hyper-responder. odd that i eat carbs and moderate fat now and ldl & blood pressure are normal. hmmm
You need to find a new doctor
Magnesium malate heals hi blood pressure. Also the body self heals and self adjusts without toxic drugs made from petroleum.
The Medical Profession hates Dr Lustig and calls him a "loon."
@@Peekaboo-Kitty The medical industrial complex can't admit it was doing harm for decades. Our groundswell is working though.
Exceptional presentation, highly recommended. Lustig brings it all together here.
Glad to hear about how corn fed beef is bad for us. I would go for grass fed. Regenerative agriculture is the best. #regenerativefarming
Thanks to COVID 19 that I had to stay home taking various vitamins and watch these excellent presentations. Otherwise I could never understand his message.
Haha, same here. A year in the bed. Up a bit now thanks to a walker to fix the leg atrophy, and for some reason my bloodwork suddenly shows that my immune system is finally kicking ass! I had metabolic syndrome prior to finding Lustig. Gone. Way gone. Flat tummy, perfect weight and zero sugar.
I love you, Dr. Lustig
well, the vid should be shown at schools starting at 6th grade. 100's of millions of kids need to be made aware what the food industry is doing to them.
I am not a medical pro, but I appreciated (enjoied) this lecture a lot: it’s so clear and evident. Thank you dr Lustig
Thanks to Dr. Robert Lustig for presenting all this info on the erosive, corrosive and inflammatory effects of sugars, i.e. carbohydrates of all kinds! Loved the historical document from the 1930's about the recommendation for a low-carb, high fat diet for diabetics -- why, oh why, does the Medical Industrial Complex keep treating the escalating incidence of and symptoms of diabetes, rather than educating people about how to REVERSE diabetes???!!! Answer: profits. Yep, keep 'em sick, and you've got a cash cow for their entire life. That's the ugly truth about this so-called healthcare system we have. So much more to say, but it makes me so angry -- esp. after watching what has gone on in the last 3+ years, globally -- that I can't continue. Again, thank you to Dr. Lustig for this fact-based presentation. If only the powers-that-be would stop interfering with the dissemination of this type of information... particularly in our medical schools. 😡
It’s only fructose that is bad for you, glucose and complex carbs are healthy. This is not a presentation that says you can go meat keto. He does infer that high meat diets are not necessarily that good for you.
Actually it's fructose, sucrose, and glucose...simple and complex carbohydrates.
Too many people eat excess complex carbohydrates, that triggers the pancreas to release insulin.
The pancreas needs to recover. The way to do it is to fast for 13-17 hours per day. So basically by the time you go to bed, give yourself 13-17 hours before you eat again.
Both simple and complex carbohydrates still put visceral fat on the body because it is broken down into sugar.
Such needed conversations for those interested in true health and managing it! Taking ownership of one's health is the key! 😎♥️
I am not sure that fresh whole foods are more expensive than processed foods. At least in Australia. Here fruit and vegetables are mostly $4-$10 per kilo. A packet type food, as far as you can generalize, would be around $4-$8 per 300g. Admittedly meat is more expensive at $10-$30 per kilo fresh. What you would actually be paying for the low meat content where present in processed meals would probably work out to be astronomical! In summary, I have gone fresh without huge damage to my budget, even though I have eliminated bulky filling foods like rice and pasta.
Finding similar here in Canada. Also noticing the processed meats like 'seasoned chicken breast' are being extended with soy or pea protein as the protein content would look suspiciously low otherwise.
Me2. I am keto vegan so my food budget is very cheap
@@ronachadwick7908 Well done, although it’s quite a difficult challenge.
Rice and pasta are still quite different, with regard to carbo hydrates and calories. Rice is way less strenuous on your digestive system. And more natural, since it is essentially like an old grain, not a processed food source.
@@Meowbay if the emphasis is on minimizing carbs to avoid hyperinsulemia, rice is a food to avoid because it is high in carbohydrates (28g carbohydrates per 100g cooked rice). I'm not sure what you mean by "less strenuous" or "more natural" but you seem to be evaluating foods on other criteria than carb content. Incidentally white rice is dehusked and polished so to that extent it is a processed food. Cooked wheaten pasta is 25g carbs per 100g. So pretty similar and to be avoided on a low carb diet.
Dr. Robert Lustig saved my life and my family's future. Ever grateful to this learned man.
Thank you, dear Dr. Lustig! I'm not a doctor or any other medical worker, but I listened your lecture in this video and many others. They are very informative, educative and truthful, because it works. I practice No fructose, No ethanol, Low carbs, and I feel better in my 65 than I was in my 40es. Although, I still eat fatty steaks. Yes, my LDL is high, triglycerides are very low, and the ratio is just perfect. Thanks again for your hard work, huge respect to you, and professionals just like you! So, there is a hope, that Americans can be much healthier as an individuals and as a nation.❤❤❤
I moved to Texas seven years ago to be close to the tadpoles as I go into my dotage. I hate Texas. The politics, the property taxes, the shit roads, etc.
BUT, there are some diamonds here. Texas Tech and the University of Texas. Not talking sports, but one of the greatest research universities in the world. Dr. Lustig mentions UT at Houston, one of my daughters graduated from the nursing school there.
In the same huge complex, the M. D. Anderson Cancer center is a leader in cancer treatments. A friend of mine recently has gone through months long bone marrow transplant.
Aforementioned daughter had a very rare condition having to do with a leaking dura mater. Fortunately she lived in Houston and had access to the world's leading experts in dealing with this condition. Without her treatments, she would be an inactive, bed ridden woman instead of active and an RN at Colorado Springs Children's hospital.
And the people here are the friendliest of any place I've lived in my adult life.
I am proud of these Texas institutions.
Which city/town are you recommending for both friendly and bright?
Of you don't like Texas politics get the hell out!!!
We don't want you here
Wow. There I was grading when this came up! I had to replay. Wonderful! I dumped processed foods a long time ago. How supportive this is to my views. Most people ignore my proselytizing, alas.
Confirmation bias…much
Listing is a wonderful lecturer. One criticism that I have is that many of us eating a meat based diet with zero fiber, or very low fiber, are doing just fine.
Lustig // fibre is a myth..
Subsidies for Agricultural Processing of unhealthy food is paid for with the Public's Taxes.This enables Processed food to out-compete more responsibly produced foods.This Political Policy is anathma to the Public Welfare , and should be of concern to anyone who considers themselves part of the electorate.
A brilliant man. I enjoy listening to him. I hope more people will listen to what he has to say.
This wasn't about Cariology... this was a brilliant view of what happened when sugar and processed food entered our lives and how it made us diseased like we have never been before. Even though he is speaking to an auditorium of doctors, he explains it so that a lot of regular joes can "get it."
I’ve been riveted watching this presentation especially since my doctor just suggested I start on a statin despite my excellent TG:HDL panel. But, according to her I’m at risk for CVD since LDL is 158
And I only consume wild caught fish. No red meat or chicken.
Oh good grief. Both my husband and I have tried statins, and our muscles were promptly eaten away. Poison. Now an obscure bit of trivia. I have long covid, and a well researched treatment is plain niacin, nicotinic acid. Not the niacinamide in multivitamins and drug store niacin. You can't even buy it in stores, because side effects are brutal until you work up to the dose required, then the body is used to it. Red welts, flushing and itching for 30 minutes, and that is with a full meal, which is why it is often referred to as "flush niacin." All that to say, prior to statins it was the treatment of choice at a high dose, 3000 mg., but totally safe and does something nothing else does. Lowers triglycerides. It also kicked the shit out of my long covid brain fog, first to go. Unheard of. Usually one of the last symptoms to go. Really inconvenient, but despite my rigorous real food, zero sugar healthy diet, I have hereditary high cholesterol. So even when I fully recover from long covid, I'll be on this pain in the ass supplement for the rest of my life.
@@paulah.9415 Have you tried NAC ( n-acetyl cysteine)? It restored my energy level fast and dramatically with long Covid.
@@paulah.9415 Would you share dosage?
I love hearing Dr. Lustig speak.
And he's talking to cardiologists who probably rolled their eyeballs when he mentioned LDL vs Triglycerides.
Wow!!😮
Excellent!!!
You knocked this one out of the park, no doubt!!
👍🎩👍
The truth prevails. Thank you! 🙏 ❤
I watch any and all of dr Lustig’s videos he is changing my health and saving my life. Trigs of 392 all of my life After one year Mt trigs are down to 146. I’m still working on ldl but at least I understand it …..almost :)
Excellent! Passed along to family and friends.
Thank you for the great work you do educating us all
excellent presentation, i believe 100% of it, Thank you
Get food made at home on your stove top. Not out of a bag or box. Please please. Love you lustig. You started me on this journey to health. I was a terrible eater and didn't know why i felt sick and why i needed to change. You said so and i did it and it worked. TY
The concept of once in a while needs to be there for me and it is. But letting it go out of control is not ok for anyone.
Dr. Oscar Rosales,and Dr.Lustig two of the best in Houston!!!
I LOVE this man!
Thankyou for the presentation, you have put in science what i are feeling and experiencing in my person on my journey to better health.
Great presentation! What I like about Dr Robert Lustig's presentations is that you always hear him say something you've not heard him say elsewhere. Thanks for posting.
outstanding. thanks
Great lecture. Thank you.
Thank you for your lecture Dr Lustig. I am currently doing my own research into these issues following my Dr advising me that I need to take a statin because of high total cholesterol. My TG/HDL ratio is 1.0 and all my other markers are normal. I have now watched all your You Tube videos. Information is empowering. I'd have loved to seen the faces of the people in your lecture. I hope they didn't go out an have a muffin and coke during the session break!
Great video!! Since 2019 Im trying to get a true understanding of food as health. It makes sense. This was a tough video to watch bc you almost need biology and chemistry background. Yet I found it informative. I’ll have to rewatch it. Yet we have others like Dr Berry (and many more like Him) who claim we don’t need fiber, that even natural fruit sugars and vegetables are just as harmful and promote inflammation.
I like Dr Sten Eckberg’s approach on food as health. Variety of whole foods is best. Carnivore diet is all the rave now, as keto was not long ago. But, God created clean foods for a reason. It backs science. Its all the toxins man has added or decided what food is without looking how God made it.
You are the John Lennon of nutritional science. Don't care who you piss off. As Lennon said, "Just give me some truth." Angry about the system (corporate as well as regulatory), and have the guts to slap us in the face so we will wake up. My kind of guy. I'm a researcher, and when I see the real deal, I know it. Thank you for not folding in the face of powers much greater, and taking a sword to the misinformation and f-ing liars. Now, that it what I call a hero and a justice warrior. It's got to be hard. If you can hang in there, and I suspect you can, you can change the world. Very much inspired. I honor and thank you. May you live a long and fulfilling life. I know your work has completely transformed the way I eat. Real food only. Based on your previous videos, I eliminated sugar entirely. Was mid-range prediabetic, now way under that range and tummy gone. And on a lighter note, I can eat butter? Well, that means more vegetables for me. I've been dumping olive oil on them, grub basically. Now with butter, which I ate as a skinny child, feeding myself with only a can or frozen box of whatever vegetable I could find, I did that, and liked it. Olive oil for calories only, but that's been my go to for years. Yuck. Grass fed cattle butter? NOW we are talking. Haha, I had a can of sweet peas with butter for breakfast. Beef I have to have often, or I get anemic in a heartbeat, but use the cheap lean cuts. Maybe I am fortunate that I learned to quit craving sugar. Had cut out most complex carbs too, so this is enlightening to hear that I can eat more of them.
Thank you for this information.
Very interesting and informative presentation. Want to watch it again and to spend more time on each graph and figure from publications that Dr. Lustig has mentioned in this presentation.
Thank you
Mr. Lustig lays it all out here to understand ...
Really enjoy Dr Lustig 🙌
What a great man and human… you are my hero sir! You are fighting with big food and big pharma and doing great job for just our lives. Congratulations Sir.
I can't wait to read your book
Doctor your brilliant
Deserves another listening👍
Great practical stuff
Very well said
Robert H. Lustig is a great guy... but he is basically fighting the industry. The industry knows what we should eat...
The Industry knows what foods maximise their profits.Those carb loaded , processed foods are not what we should eat ...they are what we wrongly assume are the right foods. Its time we stopped assuming.
Watching from Guyana.
~32:30 " ... it is that triglyceride to HDL ratio that seems to matter, and that's a actually a surrogate measure for a metabolic phenomenon: insulin resistance ... with a corelation coefficient of 0.76 ... "

40:23 and on, very important points and distinctions.
Great talk as always (when I first saw "cariology" on the intro slide I thought this was an embarrassing misspelling of cardiology).
Excellent presentation. I would also add that it’s not necessarily sugar per say that’s the culprit. It’s sugar metabolism or rather lack there of. It’s the unmetabolised sugar that can’t get into the cells that’s the problem. Two key essential nutrients (minerals) chromium and vanadium are needed so that the hormone insulin can unlock the sugar receptor and let the sugar into the cell.
Where do we find chromium & vanadium in our diet? Are there “anti-nutrients” to these we should avoid?
Thank you for the tips.
@@eugeniebreida1583
Good questions. The biggest nutritional problem we face today is the lack of minerals in our top soil hence lack of minerals in our food. Ever since we switched from wood burning to electricity we no longer sprinkled the ashes into our gardens like our ancestors once did. I supplement with plant derived minerals that are the easiest to absorb and metabolise.
I was always curious about what went down in the liver. Now I am petrified and more depressed.. Thannnkss
jk Great video, Thank you so, so much for posting this.
Doctor , what do you think about non -ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy vs the diet ? Does it have a role in reversal?
Unreported funding by the sugar research foundation? You don’t say. How do you find this information?
Good research.
There are videos on UA-cam where the researchers discuss how it happened. iirc a PR firm went out of business and donated their archive to a public library. People from the library looking through these decades-old records found a lot of internal memoranda and documentation coming from the food and tobacco industries regarding research, messaging, talking points etc., stuff that was probably kept confidential at the time, but then got lost in a mountain of papers and now became public record. So when these researchers put out a call for documentation regarding this subject, people from the library contacted them and told them what they had.
My concern with dental health research is gum recession and/or gingivitis itself. including more concrete information about the "possible" effect on heart health.
We need to look at behavior and mental health in children. How does this shift in metabolic dysregulation affect school?

How will look America if Dr. Lustig was director on NIH instead Dr. Fauci.
Get the flouride out of out of our water and sugar out of our mouths. My daughter never got a carey until she was forty five but she didn't get flouridated water either.
Wait, this is the first I'm hearing that the small dense ldl particle isn't atherogenic (according to the Harvard School of Public Health) @ 31:25. It sounds like Dr Lustig might disagree, but is that really up for debate? Isn't it the small dense particle that doesn't get taken up by the liver and stays in the blood circulatin longer, getting oxidized and causing problems?
As I am understanding this.... the sugar coating ( glycation) on the small dense LDL hides the receptor on the surface of the small dense LDL so that the liver doesn't recognize it and remove it from the blood stream. In arteries where the blood swirls around ( where the vessels branch) and doesn't flow straight on through, the LDL particles tend to pool and the tissue scavengers (macrophages) snag them and pull them under the lining of the arteries. This leads to plaque forming within the wall of the artery, not sticking to the inner lining as originally thought. I used to dissect arteries in the pathology lab and wondered why the endothelium was intact and the plaque was inside...
I have been listening to Dr Paul Mason and Bart Kay regarding this topic. Bart Kay is a professor of physiology and nutrition and understand the biochemistry, physiology and explains it very well. He stresses the difference between observational studies and controlled randomized clinical trials. He is also an expert in statistical analysis and how "studies" are skewed to fit the goal of those funding the studies. His manner may be off-putting to some, but I am more interested in finding out what's true.
@@lindabirmingham603 Yes, my wake up call was learning the difference between relative and absolute risk in statin advertisements. They can take their numbers and present them however they choose to fit their agenda. I'll definitely look into Bart Kay and Dr Paul Mason. Thanks!
@@lindabirmingham603 so which lipids are atherogenic and in which conditions?
Everything I've watched about cholesterol highlights the small dense particles being the bad ones , and the large fluffy particles are ok.I don't think this is a controversy .If Harvard think otherwise , they are alone in thinking that.
If u have genetic..high ldl issue statins seem to be needed. Been on keto for 1.5 yrs and lipids went down 20% every 6 months.. weight dropped by 10 lbs. now removing all red meat but staying on keto or Mediterranean diet to to get off as I am now on borderline high risk criteria cause high risk.

I love maple syrup so much....damn it. I'm almost too afraid to ask. I run 5k/day, 30 minutes of gym, otherwise somewhat sedentary. Of course now that I'm cutting sugar back (except for a spoonful of maple syrup, O Canada etc etc) What are your thoughts on caffeine Dr. Lustig?
I found this article on seltzer of all things.
Weight Gain
For many of us, whether or not drinking seltzer can lead to weight gain is an important question as we’ve been told that seltzer is a healthy way to consume fewer calories overall, leading to weight loss.
While the research is still ongoing, a recent study in rats found that carbonated beverages (sweetened and unsweetened) led to significantly greater weight gain than rats given a sweetened but de-gassed carbonated beverage. The researchers then tested this in 20 healthy male humans and found the same results.
These findings are surprising, as it was initially thought the sugar and calories in soda lead to weight gain, not carbonation. But this study showed that even if you keep the sugar in when you take the bubbles out, the weight gain is less.
So why did this happen? The researchers found that carbonated beverages led to significantly greater increases in ghrelin (a hormone responsible for making us feel hungry) than de-gassed beverages.
However, this was just one study and more research into the long-term relationship between seltzer and weight
Interesting. But I'm suspicious. Could the researchers be trying to draw attention away from sugar?
I’m suspicious too. Who funded the study?

I wonder if proteolytic enzymes rid the liver of scarring.
@37:35 glosses over the statement of saturated fat does not clog the arteries. Then in the diagram it ways olive oil, nuts, fish. Where's the saturated fat. Eat butter folks, skip all the other oils/fats.

@@ArcoZakus I would but in america you can’t without a prescription. Not in my state anyway.
@@billytheweasel,
"... you can't without a prescription ..."
Are you sure about that? Do you mean that you can't get reimbursed for the cost, or that you are not even allowed to buy it with your own money "without a prescription"? What state is that? That does not sound right to me.
@@ArcoZakus it's true. doctors have general requirements to prescribe and further specific guidelines to follow. FreeStyle Libre's website lets you know a prescription is required in the US. we moved out of the usa and the medical system was a prime reason.
