One of the most informative and logical explanations of obesity… ADHD… Alzheimers Wow! I will be watching this multiple times. Thank you so much Dr Johnston!!
Underpinning the reasons for minimising the intake of processed foods, fruit, sugar drinks, alcohol and fries. Salt we need in appropriate quantities, insufficiently leads to cardiac arrhythmias and renal failure.
Dr Johnson also mentions that the problem is not absolute sodium but sodium concentration, so it's better to include the salt in water (like electrolyte drinks or broth) rather than eating high sodium processed meats or heavily salting the solid food because the water helps to reduce the sodium concentration
I am sure Dr Saladino would want to see comparison of actual food trials with locally grown fruit and not pure fructose, which is a completely different thing from complex organic foods. Same with liver, the test would have to use ruminant liver, not purines, don’t you think? Honey has not been shown to cause any issues. So honey needs to be tested, not fructose.
You’ve been misled by so-called ‘science’ gurus. Most of the time, they’re no better informed than the average person. Despite a decline in sugar consumption over recent decades, obesity rates have continued to rise. Since sugar is 50% fructose, I find it hard to believe that fructose from whole, unprocessed foods is responsible for metabolic disease or obesity.
Interesting. We knew fructose was awful, but to know that our bodies produce it if we consume both aggressive carbs and salt (and let's face it, most people do) changes things. Really glad I don't eat carbs anymore.
Knew about de novo lipogenesis, but not the sorbitol glucose-fructification. This also reminded me of the role of vasopressin. Already cut the carbs, but I do need to drink more water.
I wonder if the salt intake matters in the absence of insulin resistance and thus hyperinsulinaemia? Anyone who has dropped their insulin levels through low carb and or fasting will have noticed the dramatic salt and water loss, and indeed low carb/keto experts usually advise increasing salt intake once the low insulin levels are established.
He didn't address how potassium works with salt in most cells and that all those sick and obese people who had too much salt, most likely simply didn't have enough potassium to balance things.
Perhaps rather than "metabolic syndrome" or "fat storage syndrome" we should call it "energy storage system". Does this include metabolism slowing? Across all body systems (except conversions to and storage of fats)?
Now I understand why maybe processed meat is causing issues and shows up in studies. It's not the meat, but the high salt in the processed meat in conjunction with a high carb diet. Which would mean it's "okay" on a zero carb diet with low stable glucose levels.
A lot of processed meat contains fairly high amounts of sugars and grains or other starches as filler and to possibly increase palatability. It matters if you want to keep near zero carb.
High insulin also makes the body retain more sodium, so a low carb diet that reduces insulin allows the body to handle higher sodium. Still, it's healthier to just eat fresh meat rather than high sodium processed meats even on low carb diets and add the salt to water (like electrolyte drinks) rather than to solid food
Johnson is one of the only people who get obesity. It's an evolutionary survival mechanism, like all animals. We gain fat to survive, and we evolved this. Fructose is the main cause.
If fructose blocks ATP generation, why then do athletes eat glucose&fructose in 1:0.8 ratio to be able to digest and metabolize more carbs per minute to maintain high power output ? Something doesn't fit, unless the blocking is inactive during high performance activity. I can confirm eat low carb and lot of fat and protein I lost weight like crazy. When I added fruit again I struggled to maintain my weight. Now I stay careful with fruit and starchy food.
Johnson and Dr Lustig (another fructose researcher) have talked about this. Fructose helps to rapidly build the liver glycogen stores that are depleted during high intensity athletic activity. But most of us don't engage in that high level athletic activity. And even high level athletes that highly rely on carb loading can develop fatty liver and metabolic syndrome even though they are thin as Dr Tim Noakes has reported
if fructose is a mitochondrial toxin; and if cancer is a metabolic disease; could extended fructose consumption play some role in the origin of cancers?
Too much focus on science, too little observation, and not enough common sense. Despite a decline in sugar consumption over recent decades, obesity rates have continued to rise. Since sugar is 50% fructose, I find it hard to believe that fructose from whole, unprocessed foods is driving metabolic disease or obesity.
This was a disastrous discussion It doesn’t follow a thread it is disjointed and difficult to follow Anyone listening will be more confused than ever ! You need to polish this discussion or you lose your message
Just because you are having trouble following this lecture doesn’t mean other people are having trouble following it. It might just have something to do with you.
We know nothing about his background. It could be he used to be very obese and what you are seeing is excess skin underneath that shirt. Or possibly not. But assuming he is unhealthy because of perceived “pudginess” is just kind of snarky and doesn’t help anyone.

Wow! I will be watching this multiple times. Thank you so much Dr Johnston!!
JOHNSON - he is looking a little overweight
Multiple times?
Um, are you sure the Alzheimer's isn't cutting in already?
Just watched this for the 3rd time and I'm still finding new nuggets. Amazing lecture.
Underpinning the reasons for minimising the intake of processed foods, fruit, sugar drinks, alcohol and fries. Salt we need in appropriate quantities, insufficiently leads to cardiac arrhythmias and renal failure.
Can also lead to dietary allergies.

Can someone please show this video to Paul Saladino. I think he would need to see it. ASAP.
And he's not only eating a lot of fructose but also eating high purine food like liver, both contributing to high uric acid levels

What an awesome explanation of the mechanisms at work in all these diseases (well, some of them anyway!)
This should be required watching for any medical person or nutritionist
Fascinating! And loaded with so much important information! Thank you, Doctor. Thank you, LCC.
Every lecture or interview with dr. Johnson is a treat! Thank you!!
What we now need is the link to high linoleic acid diets. Is there one?
Great presentation, glad to hear Dr Johnson's contributions to the field

Really glad I don't eat carbs anymore.
Stay blessed

waw! I am downloading this
Lo máximo el Dr. Johnson 🎉
Amazing information!
this is incredible .
Thank you sir
Excellent lecture. I learned a lot.
Why isn’t this more popular?
A lot of new [and depressing] information to me. He really connects a lot of previously unconnected dots.

Thanks so much , new perspective and update information, very exciting and informative.
What is the effect of fructose with kidney disease
Carbs ( starches, sugars, including cellulose, alcohols, excluding cholesterol) are not a necessary part of the human diet.
Why no discussion of galactose, as this sugar disaccharides (maltose) is the main stimulation of hunger !!!

Cancer needs sugar for fuel....
Lower calorie but increase protein ratio. ?
Sugar is BAD!!

Since sugar is 50% fructose, I find it hard to believe that fructose from whole, unprocessed foods is driving metabolic disease or obesity.
If only people ate correctly…
I’m nit the smartest but this guy said some stupid stuff!! I’m sure “French fries” can’t cause weight gain😮. Unless you salt. Come on!
This was a disastrous discussion
It doesn’t follow a thread it is disjointed and difficult to follow
Anyone listening will be more confused than ever !
You need to polish this discussion or you lose your message
What? No, it wasn't,yes it does, and no, it's not.
Just because you are having trouble following this lecture doesn’t mean other people are having trouble following it. It might just have something to do with you.
This Dr looks sort of pudgy so either his model doesn’t work or is not easy to follow.
He has occasional shortness of breath, he may have some health problems
We know nothing about his background. It could be he used to be very obese and what you are seeing is excess skin underneath that shirt. Or possibly not. But assuming he is unhealthy because of perceived “pudginess” is just kind of snarky and doesn’t help anyone.
