In December I thought I was having heart failure. My BP was up. My pulse all over. I felt horrific. I quit sugar again (not my 1st time). Five days later I was fine. True story.
Yep. I was having back pain. My chiropractor said he thought it’s inflammation. And I know that inflammation comes mainly from a sugary diet. So I quit.. and within 3 days that pain was gone. So I canceled my follow up appointment. 😅 3 days after my husband quit sugar, the pain in his feet went away. 👍🏻😁
@@moonerlyn9412 I make sandwiches using big rommaine lettuce leaves. No rice, no cereal and definitely no white sugar ! No pizza, no pasta. Just veggies, meat and nuts and seeds. I’ve always liked peanut butter, but switched to a natural one with no sugar in it. Z👍🏻💪🏻😊 Oh, I see you were asking Michelle. Well, I answered for myself. Lol
Try enjoying healthier desserts, maybe learn to make some. Also try replacing the white rice and pasta (if you consume them) with brown rice or quinoa and a spinach base pasta). See if you can find or order online a 'healthier' soda such as GUS (grown up soda) or similar. Lastly do your own research....nothing drives the point home like what you read and understand for yourself. The slow reduction of sugar in the foods you consume and the drinks will result in almost immediate benefits that you will feel which will in turn increase your desire to stick with the replacements. In short, any significant reduction in sugar consumption beats no change at all. Wishing you the best and you can do it! 👍
No. I was on prescription opioids for 4 years. Quit that and it was Hell for over 4 months. No sleep, nightmares, horrible digestive issues, I cried all the time, had restless leg syndrome. Horrible shaking and sweating. I quit sugar and had a headache for 3 days. No comparison ! 😮😅
@@cjhoward409 you suffered needlessly...I used marijuana to get off opiates...no suffering...did you know that animals addicted to cocaine will choose sugar over it if there is a choice...and sugar withdrawal never goes away like drug withdrawal...I never think about alcohol or opiates but sugar is another story
Having a little bit of sugar when one is a sugar addict has the same outcome as an alcoholic having one drink. A sugar addict is easily triggered by a little sugar which can lead to binge eating it and a relapse.
Yep. My grandpa lived to be 91. He had pneumonia. He had a very healthy heart. He ate butter and eggs and bacon and veggies but NO sugar ! He was keto before keto was cool 😎
I came here from the foreign country in 2001, from where I from I eat more vegetables. Fish and rice., We eat pastry once in a while and the whole family would share. Then when I came here I was amazed of all the food and pastry that I have try ,mmm...it was Soo... delicious! But that enjoyment of wonderful foods it didn't take for very long...I was only 31 year's old when I found out that I have high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol and my triglycerides was very high of course, then my gallbladder was taken out because it was full of stones., My doctor he never sugar coated me...he told me that if I don't change of the way I eat I will never be able to make it to the age of 40. And if I DO! I will be in a handful of medication! It was the most depressing day of My life, but even though it is Soo hard to make the change I did it gradually and now I'm 43 years old and I am not taken any of medication. I only take supplements and fresh garlic.
Thank you Dr. Hyman. This was so educational and informative. I think I may have discovered the cause of my gut issues. Starting tonight, no sugar. If I could stop smoking after 40 years cold turkey, I can quit sugar. I just past my 22nd year smoke free. It can be done and so can quitting sugar. My mother had beautiful skin right into her 90's. She ate a plant based diet and took no meds at all. She never ate sugar. She passed peacefully at home without illness at age 99.
I had to wait 3 months before I could get my much needed hysterectomy. They found pre cancer cells. That was a wake up call. So for those 3 months before my surgery , I QUIT all sugary junk. I lost 10 pounds and felt great. They biopsied my uterus after the surgery and low and behold, my Dr seemed shocked that all the cells in there were normal. (I had endometriosis which I why I needed the hysterectomy and I was 53) but I believe I starved out those growing pre cancer cells. 👍🏻💪🏻
3 years ago I had full blood work done. I was 54… my Dr after reading my results asked ME what my secret was to having such perfect blood numbers and looking the way I do because I’m in my 50’s but people guess me to be in my early 40’s. Crazy that a Dr would ask me for health advice 😱🤦🏼♀️
I remember first hearing of the danger of sugar by Dr. Robert Lustig, he changed my thinking about sugar 18 years ago. Im so happy others are starting to catch on to what the food industry is doing.
And we vote with our wallets. If everyone started eating healthier, we’d see less junk food for sale in the stores and have healthier options. Big gas stations just blow my mind because it’s filled with nothing but crap “food”. All of it !
I’m only 9 days without sugar but I don’t think I’ll ever go back to it. I am shocked that ALL my joint pain is GONE! I’m a nurse and 12 hour shifts with achy hips and knees were really starting to concern me. I can’t believe that after only 5 days without sugar my pain has COMPLETELY disappeared. I am honestly in shock. Not to mention, I have been chronically exhausted for 10 years and I have had more energy over the past couple days than I can remember. I really hope this isn’t a fluke because it feels too good to be true.
It really does work! Same happens to me when I have sugar. Please don't forget this and how great you feel. I keep "falling off the wagon" I would like to be sugar free for life. My children are so healthy without it too and they love being sugar free.
I was pre diabetic and an A1C c of 6.0. Went on keto and intermittent fasting. At 6 months my a1C went down to 5.3. I have been doing this for a year now. My mood has leveled out lost 39 pounds. Have consistently stayed at 120 lbs. whenever I get feeling like I want sweets I listen to these posts. Gets me regenerated and recommitted to my healthy lifestyle.
A hundred years ago when Americans ate very little sugar they had much less heart disease and obesity ..it's not steak and potatoes making us fat.its sugar
Recently, I was at the supermarket and picked up a bottle of horseradish sauce. One brand had sugar, less than one gram but sugar never the less. Put it back and selected the one without sugar. I would love to know why sugar is in horseradish sauce. At the same supermarket, I looked at come frozen wild caught, cooked cocktail shrimp. Added sugar? Why? I put it back and purchased a bag of wild caught shrimp. Either corporations are adding sugar to cover the taste of poor ingredients or they are trying to addict the consumer.
Get her on omad immediately...doctor says I'm in the top one percent of all Americans of any age.....I eat once per day and don't drink sugar drinks or candy
She needs a healthy person around her age to encourage her. And I’m sure there are people here on TH-cam in their late teens early 20’s that are all about health and living healthy lifestyles 😊
The reason why people are eating sugar at an ever increasing rate is because there are a lot of people in positions who we are supposed to trust who are lying to us. Also, most people are afraid to call them out.
Saw the chiropractor last week. Had been having trouble with part of my back. He said he was pretty sure I had inflammation. So, I quit sugar. I already knew that inflammation is caused by junk and I had to “slap myself” and get out of that sugar rut again. And I canceled my follow up appointment because my back pain is gone 😊
I have been watching Dr. Hyman's videos and others re: sugar, and I can report my personal experience has been phenomenal. Metabolically I was in the worst shape of my life (I'm 60). My blood sugar, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, blood pressure, and waist circumference all were off the chart. I cut out sugar. I increased good fats. I started working out again, and NOTHING STRENUOUS, LIKE CROSS FIT, WHICH I THINK IS horrible FOR THE BODY, but simply fast walking, core workouts, and light weights. I am down 25 pounds, my BP and sugar are back to normal, and my triglycerides decreased by 77 points.
I think the problem is that nobody is cooking healthy meals every night for family dinner. With both parents working, who has the time or energy? The answer - fast foods, unfortunately.
Yes if I go to a fast food joint all I see are lard tubs of whole families eating in there. The time it took you to get all the kids in the car, drive there, order, and wait you could have made a good home cooked meal and taken care of your children better. (And no I'm not the one eating in those places).
@@chrissyellem7397 It would be great if families looked upon meal time as a joint effort. It's a burden for one person to do it all, all the time, especially if they put in hours at a job outside the home. Also, the chief cook and bottlewasher would love to come home to a prepared meal that wasn't pizza or takeout.
It can be done, that's just another excuse. You can batch cook on Sundays and freeze it or cook simple foods - beans, rice, salads, etc. I hate to cook but I eat lots of the above.
If you eat sugar and/or high refined carb (such as candy/pop or bread/pretzels) one day, it sets you up to crave more sugar/refined carbs the next day.
I believe everything you're saying. Sugar was making me sick everyday for years. Now I try not to have it at all. I feel so much better. Ofcourse I'm not perfect. When I do have it I want more & more and can't stop. It's better for me not to have any!
I quit drinking 5.5 years ago while training to climb Mt. Aconcagua (22,841 feet). Never went back to drinking and hopefully never will. I just did a 5 + day fast and it was much easier than I thought it would be. I plan on cutting out processed sugar altogether very soon. This video helped.
Thank you Dr. Hyman. Being healthy inside and out makes this world more beautiful ❤ I think your channel is all about that. Happy New Years 🎊 🎉❤🧧💕🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟😁
I’ve been doing a keto/carnivore diet since 2019. I lost 52 pounds postmenopausal and have basically maintained my weight within 2 to 3 pounds of my loss up-to-date. I feel great! I do use Stevia in my coffee and I am a coffee connoisseur. I have two regular cups of coffee in the morning but I do drink a few cups of decaf throughout the day simply because I love the taste of coffee. I guess you could say the Stevia is my downfall if I were to only have one, that is it. It’s the natural organic type, but I suppose, too much of anything is no good ….we all know that. It hasn’t affected the scale, but the more I read about Stevia I find it does affect the Microbiome environment. According to Dr. Lustig, there are 52 names for sugar that are buried in an ingredient food list.
@@marygathercole9058 My grand parents ate a high meat diet but zero sugar. They didn’t even eat bread. And just drank water. They both lived well into their 90’s. Neither one were ever on any prescription meds 👍🏻😁
Stevia does give an Insulin response btw according to new study you can read about in the book ‘Metabolical’ It’s not a free pass and Will eventually raise blood glucose too
I love your videos!! Thank you for sharing with us all that you do! This past spring, millions upon millions of pollinators died in Georgia.. They were in California waiting to go to Alaska to do their job, and the flight for some reason was deferred to Georgia. Of all places. And then sat on the tarmac for hours in the heat. When they travel, pollinators have to be kept cool, with airflow. The airlines apologized and said they would learn from this experience and do better next time.. That doesn't help the poor bees, nor the owners livelihood.. 😔
The effects of added sugar intake - higher blood pressure, inflammation, weight gain, diabetes, and fatty liver disease - are all linked to an increased risk for heart attack and stroke.
The sugar case is sooo complicated to deal with.Sugar is part of our culture.In Quebec, we grow apples and we produce maple syrup.So as kids we ate ham , fruit pies as dessert which we had every day and cakes were another choice as dessert.Dessert very impregnated in our culture.So it is very tough to cut sugar.I am 55 and I cut soft drinks. I drink a lot more water but I like ice cream and desserts. I got your books doctor and I try to cut as much as I can but in Canada it is so easy to find a sugar product.It is struggling to go to the market. I love eating i read your books doctor and it is sooo tough to eat better. I still try to. 33:28
For the last 3yrs I went from 16oz(500ml) of coffee and 2 packets of hot choc then over ice then to 32 oz of coffee an one packet then over ice then no sugar hot choc then goat milk then coconut milk then choc protein powder then pure Cocoa powder and so on as I learned more but now I just dip a spoon into grass fed chocolate milk an stir my coffee with it. .. it's tough to replace our comforts an social norms but I feel above it now looking down on the soda drinkers and Starbucks phooffy drinks.

My mom tells the story, before I left the hospital as a newborn, they put Karo in my bottle to get me to drink more. True story. Now I’m here because I was recently diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia. I’m researching the possible effects sugar has as a trigger.
I love this. I wish i could influence my grandkids to make better choices for their kids. It hurts me to see sweets as a reward for doing well. . . Thank you for all the information.
Here is something I recently learned. I have always been told 120/80 BP was good. Today I was tested at 120/73 and the nurse said that my BP was really good. But then I went online and it says that 120 is pushing the levels of pre-hypertension, I also learned that the new standard of health is 130/80. I have found that there is a correlation of systolic with V02 max and diastolic and resting heart rate. Not sure if this is medically true or not, but seems to correlate.
In European countries NORMAL Blood Pressure is 140/90. Big Pharma keeps on lowering the blood pressure numbers just to sell more blood pressure medications and bigger profits
What sadden me, when my Best Friend / Neighbor who I knew for 45 years plus, told me , She believed those "pink packet" what caused her Cancer. I will NEVER forget her. She was the happiness person in a crowd of people. She knew everybody in our town ( pop 41,000 ). When we were teenagers, she would always want to have fun and have everybody laughing and clowning around. She will always be missed !!! We miss you, Pam !!! The Good ole days !!!
Thanks for all your informative podcasts and books (I have them all, I’m a little obsessed with healing and longevity)…what about coconut flower nectar? I’m making one of your desserts and it calls for this.
@@CHRISTALMOUNTAIN Thanks. I've never really had a big sweet tooth anyway. But now I'm getting older and I'm training for an white collar boxing fight. I need to dial in my health before it's too late. 💪💪

Sugar also saved my life. During an awful UC flareup, I was losing so much blood most of the time that I used the bathroom and I was using the bathroom up to 10 to 15 times a day with nothing but liquid diarrhea all day for 3 months. It was a never ending nightmare. But something that helped my body maintain energy was sugar. White bread was something my body loved and all those carbs helped me in so many ways. The sugary sports drinks also helped me feel more normal and energetic. In fact, I almost fainted one day, and sugar brought me right back. I still eat sugar and foods that turn into sugar. I also exercise everyday and feel super healthy these days. My gut is working again, no more blood, and normal stools. I still enjoy sweets in moderation. In fact, I no longer drink caffein, but carbs and sugar give me steady energy throughout the day and I don't crash like I used to with caffein. Sugar is not bad, it's the way you consume it that can be bad and what kind of conditions that also determine if you should avoid sugar. But for people like me, sugar is a life saver.
You had an unusual and very serious medical condition . I'm surprised you didn't need IV hydration and hospitalization. With literally everything going right through you ( constant diarrhea) any fluids you could keep down and any solid food you could tolerate would help you. Hope u r doing better now. If your UC is stable you might consider being tested for lactose intolerance and celiac disease.
@@lindajones4849 Thank you, I'm still doing fine. I'm struggling a bit, but it's been very manageable. As for the lactose, it's ironic you mention intolerance because dairy products are another thing that kept me living happily through the flare. It helped me maintain some weight and I've never had a lactose problem. Milk, cheese, and yogurt all saved my life too. Those were literally the only foods that my body seemed to absorb. Banana, white bread, chicken, and dairy were the only foods that I felt like my body was gaining energy from, and then the sports drink helped maintain my energy. Everything else, my gut would immediately reject. I still can't eat carrots, they go right through me, and broccoli makes me cramp. It's very strange. The only greens I can thoroughly digest are soft green beans, and lettuce. Not iceberg lettuce. Oh and sweet potato is my new favorite veggie, my body can digest it quite well. However, I can still eat very moderate amounts of cooked veggies like broccoli now that I'm doing far better, but I choose to avoid them. It's a very strange condition to be honest, but I've been making it through. I'm surprised myself that I didn't get any IV injections and stuff, I was literally staying strong and holding on to life. I never want to feel that way ever again. Sunshine also keeps me healthy, I don't know what it does, but it rejuvenates me and makes me feel calm and happy. I remember sitting in the sun during my intense flare up, and whenever I was in the sun, my symptoms would quite for longer than usual. The sun has magic powers that scientist aren't talking about!
Any advise what drink my mum can have as she doesn’t like the taste of water . U advise no sugar drinks & not sweetened drinks ? What else is there pls ? Thank u
Keep gallons of water overnight. This will drastically reduce sulphur from liquid to gas.... out of the water. Can't drink or cook with the water straight out of the sink faucet. My cats prefer the still water too.
Hello Doctor Hyman from Kathmandu. Please advise about Yakun Syrup and Bee Bread. Bee bread is fermented form of Honey so far. How is the glycemic index between honey and bee bread. Thank you .
Thanks & that cuts out my “splenda” in my coffee. 😅& I just bought a box of 1000 packets thinking it is good & it’s not. I also drink tumeric water with honey every 2 days. 3 times a week I drink a smoothie with a vegetable, fresh berries that I freeze, with almonds, chia/hemp seeds, water, moringa powder or tumeric powder. I occasionally eat 70% dark chocolate & sometimes the forbidden chocolate. So now today no more Splenda or forbidden chocolate & I have great willpower when it comes to my health. I just had blood work done & results were good. I work out daily & you mentioned “monk fruit”, which will be added to my diet in moderation. Is monk fruit good in coffee? I also drink tea with or without honey. What sugars are good besides monk fruit again? Thank you so much for sharing!! ❤❤❤
Hi doctor hyman , I don't know if you made a video about nad+ ? If not can you please make one and please mention what it is for people who don't know about it and where to buy it
I believe I have a good metabolism. My friends are worrying about how can my main nutrition be sugar, yet for decades my blood works are excellent. I really don't see the reason why I should stop. Do you think I am just lucky? That I will suddenly get sick in the future? The only reason I see is that I personally don't like addictions
I'm interested in what specific blood work you had. Did you get a FASTInG blood sugar and fasting insulin level? This is VERY important. Suggest asking a doc for a glucose tolerance test because I'm concerned u may be headed for diabetes. Best wishes.
Thanks for the agave tip. I didn't realize it's that high in fructose specifically. 20% glucose. Gatorade used to be all glucose. Interesting right. Natures way, pile in the fructose to get the fat to store. Never get full. Thanks for what you do. I wish i found you 20 years ago when i was messed up. I probably wouldn't have listened to you either. I hope others do and go to to and follow it to a T.
The sweet Poison that is killing the world! The soda and sport drink companies should be held accountable for what they are doing to the world population.Just imagine how much lower our health insurance would be.
Get fasting blood sugar and fasting insulin level . Getting the fasting insulin level is important . Your fasting blood sugar is the last thing to rise before you become diabetic. If your blood sugar is normal but your your fasting insulin level is high you r on the way to becoming diabetic but have some time to change your lifestyle and prevent full blown diabetes.
Thankyou for a fantastic video. Interestingly, John Yudkin, a British nutritionist wrote a book about how bad sugar is back in the 1970s, called Pure, White and Deadly.
How healthy is rice bran or flour in supplements? Lost 17 lbs in last 2 months by getting off sugar..started with keto, but need some carbs as 20 grams is too little, so going towards Pegan diet..
Does he not look like and sound like Jon Stewart? When I first started watching his channel, I didn't know who he was, and I started thinking...Jon Stewart now gives health talks? Anyways, the information on his channel is so powerful and life changing. This is day 3 for me of not having any late night snacks. Doing ok, but my big challenge will be cutting out sugar. There was an emptiness that came over me as I made the decision not to sink my teeth into a warm chocolate chip cookie tonight. Sugar is poison, is what I have to keep saying to myself. Oh boy....give me strength.😩
I have started the DETOX this week. I have followed low carb / keto diets for a decade - unfortunately I will go through periods (holidays mostly) where I will let it go and will feel horrible come end of December - January. I get back and start loosing the weight after a period of withdrawal from the carbs. However this week, the detox has taken a bit more of a withdrawal - where I feel tired and irritable (ask my wife). I turned 66 last fall, and I now want the benefits of using food as medicine and get off my chol drug and my gout drug... I did make a deal with my cardiologist and GP that I would ask to have the labs drawn to see if the Chol and uric acid is dropping - but how will I know? About how long do you think? I have also passed along your website to my Sister-in-law, because they have always had a problem with carb overload - and now my brother is recovering from a triple bypass. . They will need our prayers to get onto this....
I'm 80, fat, love sweets and am diagnosed with congestive heart failure. So after seeing your video, it appears that the damage has already been done from a lifetime of over eating sweets. Will it really make much difference at my age if I get off eating sweets? Is it worth the suffering for the reward at my age?
One sweetener that was not mentioned was allulose. It sounds less damaging that the others. I use very little of any sweetener but am curious if allulose wold be a good choice when just a little is used.
Dr. Hyman, when all addictions need psychiatrists abd psychologists then why are they not involved in food n sugar addiction? How can you overcome any addiction without this kind of help?
I rarely use white sugar and never corn syrup, but….. I love fresh maple syrup I buy from a local maker. I enjoy a spoonful in my coffee one day a week. Such a treat! I also love to bake homemade bread using Kamut flour, french gray salt, a little honey and butter. I bake 2 loaves a month. I don’t eat it every day. We eat whole natural foods leaning more ketovore on a daily basis. Food is one of life’s pleasures so we try to balance healthful eating with a few indulgences here and there like ice cream and good chocolate. Great video with lots of info! Thank you!
@@KetoKassy thank you for your reply and your help on this. I can’t find anything RE research regarding PURE Sucralose on the Internet. Might you be able to hook me up with the research you have found on this? Anything I read does not state that the testing was done on PURE Sucralose. Thank you.
@@KetoKassy I am a big fan of Dr. Berg thank you but Splenda has maltodextrin in it., Equal does the same with aspartame. I am looking for the research on pure sucralose.
My fruit smoothie, I have almost everyday (mid-morning most of the time) is purified water, fruits usually blueberries, pineapple, Chia seeds, Hemp powder for protein and fiber, and then I add raisins for my sweetness; I vary but also add powdered protein but it was adding things like dates and certain fruits for sweetness
@@vickikleist2263 Fiber doesn't counteract sugar. Fiber will slow down the blood sugar spike, but our bodies will still have to handle every bit of sugar that was in the fruit we ate. An insulin response happens whether we eat a banana, a pop tart, or Cheerios. Insulin response is the body producing insulin in order to handle storing the sugar we just ate. The more sugar, the more insulin. High insulin response is the root behind hypertension (aka high blood pressure), type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). It's no surprise that NAFLD is showing up in children these days. Non stop sugar consumption. Non stop carb consumption.
Oddly, the FDA refuses to accept anything of what we say about sugar and artificial sweeteners. Beginning in 2000, I bought 25 lbs of pure green leaf organic stevia. I used it whole and ground. When I finally ran out, I started using the $6 bottle of the Pure Stevia powder. I make 1/2 gallon of green tea, Jasmine, and add less than 1/8 tsp. I am 68, 5’7” 125 lbs male. Why are we getting baggy eyes. Very frustrating. We have to stop telling people to just stop offending their microbiome. We need a video explanation to show the BUGS IN THE GUT REACTING.
I friggin had pizza for the first time in over a yee'uh. The reason being under my truck all day pulling out strands of serpentine belt caught in the pullys. I had to habs some food like pronto, no bee'uh. Man...carb city overload! Then came the chocolate cookie. It'll take a week to get back to where I was metabolically.
POLITE NOTICE: It's important to stop using the word FAT in a negative light since FAT is intrinsic to our physiology. Your cleanse and repair system runs on fat. I am a sugar addict I was raised on sugar - cakes, biscuits etc. no discipline as a child and had many many stomach issues as a result. Looking back it's a miracle that I did not die young. Now at 50 years old, if I try to quit sugar I get very angry I consume around 800g of brown sugar in my tea per month + small amounts of biscuits, cakes, white chocolate or ice cream everyday I do not crave or eat many other carbs - bread, potatoes, rice or pasta only the sweet stuff. Aged 44 I tried a "healthy" 6 months of vegetable soups alongside my sugar daily intake. Ooops. My appendix got so inflamed I should be dead so they cut it out. I survived and learnt that we are carnivores and that plants have no place in the body. Pretty much everything in our supermarkets is poison Luckily I have always naturally found meat to be tasty and made me feel nice, so I have always eaten meat also. This is no doubt what has kept me in good health. Although I do not have any health issues and rarely get sick, I do know I need to quit sugar - but I have no idea how to do it. The ONLY time I do not crave sweet is if I drink alcohol, which of course is worse and TBH I don't like it so I don't drink anyway Feel free to advise. Cheers
Depends on the amount of sugar it's made with. I made some bottles myself and tried to keep the sugar content low, it still ended up with about as much sugar as apple juice, so I stopped drinking kombucha. I don't drink apple juice either.
My husband does like a “real” Coke every once in awhile. But most is made with high fructose corn syrup. He does find some in glass bottles made with real sugar. He knows that no sugar is good for him but at least he knows to steer clear of the other ones particularly
In December I thought I was having heart failure. My BP was up. My pulse all over. I felt horrific. I quit sugar again (not my 1st time). Five days later I was fine. True story.
Yep. I was having back pain. My chiropractor said he thought it’s inflammation. And I know that inflammation comes mainly from a sugary diet. So I quit.. and within 3 days that pain was gone. So I canceled my follow up appointment. 😅
3 days after my husband quit sugar, the pain in his feet went away. 👍🏻😁

I came here from the foreign country in 2001, from where I from I eat more vegetables. Fish and rice., We eat pastry once in a while and the whole family would share. Then when I came here I was amazed of all the food and pastry that I have try ,mmm...it was Soo... delicious! But that enjoyment of wonderful foods it didn't take for very long...I was only 31 year's old when I found out that I have high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol and my triglycerides was very high of course, then my gallbladder was taken out because it was full of stones., My doctor he never sugar coated me...he told me that if I don't change of the way I eat I will never be able to make it to the age of 40. And if I DO! I will be in a handful of medication! It was the most depressing day of My life, but even though it is Soo hard to make the change I did it gradually and now I'm 43 years old and I am not taken any of medication. I only take supplements and fresh garlic.
Thank you Dr. Hyman. This was so educational and informative. I think I may have discovered the cause of my gut issues. Starting tonight, no sugar. If I could stop smoking after 40 years cold turkey, I can quit sugar. I just past my 22nd year smoke free. It can be done and so can quitting sugar. My mother had beautiful skin right into her 90's. She ate a plant based diet and took no meds at all. She never ate sugar. She passed peacefully at home without illness at age 99.
Good health to you, I bet you are already feeling the benefits
👍❤️Thank you for info

Wonderful story! Day 2 here. I love being sugar free.
I had to wait 3 months before I could get my much needed hysterectomy. They found pre cancer cells. That was a wake up call. So for those 3 months before my surgery , I QUIT all sugary junk. I lost 10 pounds and felt great. They biopsied my uterus after the surgery and low and behold, my Dr seemed shocked that all the cells in there were normal. (I had endometriosis which I why I needed the hysterectomy and I was 53) but I believe I starved out those growing pre cancer cells. 👍🏻💪🏻
That’s amazing!
I wish that more doctors asked their patients what kinds of foods and beverages they are consuming before they write prescriptions.
Many doctors don’t know that much about nutrition.
What the hell good would that do? They don't care about anything that doesn't make them money like writing prescriptions.
Most doctors know nothing about nutrition, they are trained to write prescriptions.

3 years ago I had full blood work done. I was 54… my Dr after reading my results asked ME what my secret was to having such perfect blood numbers and looking the way I do because I’m in my 50’s but people guess me to be in my early 40’s. Crazy that a Dr would ask me for health advice 😱🤦🏼♀️
I remember first hearing of the danger of sugar by Dr. Robert Lustig, he changed my thinking about sugar 18 years ago. Im so happy others are starting to catch on to what the food industry is doing.
Dr. Lustig's work inspired me to create this parody song. th-cam.com/video/ULcgbZti_P4/w-d-xo.html
LOVE Dr Lustig!!!
I think that he is the paediatrician that is referenced here.
And we vote with our wallets. If everyone started eating healthier, we’d see less junk food for sale in the stores and have healthier options.
Big gas stations just blow my mind because it’s filled with nothing but crap “food”. All of it !
Lustig's Fat Chance: Fructose 2 showed me the way.Complete opposite of the western diet
I’m only 9 days without sugar but I don’t think I’ll ever go back to it. I am
shocked that ALL my joint pain is GONE! I’m a nurse and 12 hour shifts with achy hips and knees were really starting to concern me. I can’t believe that after only 5 days without sugar my pain has COMPLETELY disappeared. I am honestly in shock. Not to mention, I have been chronically exhausted for 10 years and I have had more energy over the past couple days than I can remember. I really hope this isn’t a fluke because it feels too good to be true.
So nice to read this, happy for you!!!
It really does work! Same happens to me when I have sugar. Please don't forget this and how great you feel. I keep "falling off the wagon" I would like to be sugar free for life. My children are so healthy without it too and they love being sugar free.
I was pre diabetic and an A1C c of 6.0. Went on keto and intermittent fasting. At 6 months my a1C went down to 5.3. I have been doing this for a year now. My mood has leveled out lost 39 pounds. Have consistently stayed at 120 lbs. whenever I get feeling like I want sweets I listen to these posts. Gets me regenerated and recommitted to my healthy lifestyle.

Thank you for the information. I have a bad sugar addiction and hoping this information sticks with me!
Recently, I was at the supermarket and picked up a bottle of horseradish sauce. One brand had sugar, less than one gram but sugar never the less. Put it back and selected the one without sugar. I would love to know why sugar is in horseradish sauce. At the same supermarket, I looked at come frozen wild caught, cooked cocktail shrimp. Added sugar? Why? I put it back and purchased a bag of wild caught shrimp. Either corporations are adding sugar to cover the taste of poor ingredients or they are trying to addict the consumer.

My 18 year old daughters insulin is 218...that scares me. I pray that she will be open to making changes in her lifestyle and eating habits ❤
It would be very good to find her a food coach to help her. Time is of the essence.
Get her on omad immediately...doctor says I'm in the top one percent of all Americans of any age.....I eat once per day and don't drink sugar drinks or candy
yeah prayers always help 🤣😂🤣😂

She needs a healthy person around her age to encourage her. And I’m sure there are people here on TH-cam in their late teens early 20’s that are all about health and living healthy lifestyles 😊
The reason why people are eating sugar at an ever increasing rate is because there are a lot of people in positions who we are supposed to trust who are lying to us. Also, most people are afraid to call them out.
You not suppose to trust strangers.
Saw the chiropractor last week. Had been having trouble with part of my back. He said he was pretty sure I had inflammation. So, I quit sugar. I already knew that inflammation is caused by junk and I had to “slap myself” and get out of that sugar rut again. And I canceled my follow up appointment because my back pain is gone 😊
👏👏👏
I have been watching Dr. Hyman's videos and others re: sugar, and I can report my personal experience has been phenomenal. Metabolically I was in the worst shape of my life (I'm 60). My blood sugar, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, blood pressure, and waist circumference all were off the chart. I cut out sugar. I increased good fats. I started working out again, and NOTHING STRENUOUS, LIKE CROSS FIT, WHICH I THINK IS horrible FOR THE BODY, but simply fast walking, core workouts, and light weights. I am down 25 pounds, my BP and sugar are back to normal, and my triglycerides decreased by 77 points.
So educational , what a fabulous teacher he is . Literally life changing stuff 👍
Doctor mark! You are my number one very favorite nutritionist MD! Thank you!
Thank you dr Hymen. You have no idea how valuable the information you are giving to all of us
Quiting sugar has only helped me lose 60lbs, no headaches, no back pain, no knee pain, off Diabetes meds, off blood p meds, I feel great EVERYDAY
Awesome, it is great achievement to get off those meds.
I quit cocaine/ heroin/ booze at 29... still working on sugar 30+ years later...
I think the problem is that nobody is cooking healthy meals every night for family dinner. With both parents working, who has the time or energy? The answer - fast foods, unfortunately.
Yes if I go to a fast food joint all I see are lard tubs of whole families eating in there. The time it took you to get all the kids in the car, drive there, order, and wait you could have made a good home cooked meal and taken care of your children better. (And no I'm not the one eating in those places).
@@chrissyellem7397 It would be great if families looked upon meal time as a joint effort. It's a burden for one person to do it all, all the time, especially if they put in hours at a job outside the home. Also, the chief cook and bottlewasher would love to come home to a prepared meal that wasn't pizza or takeout.
Wanna amend. Even if you stay at home all day minding a family, it would be nice to sit down to a home cooked meal someone else prepared.
It can be done, that's just another excuse. You can batch cook on Sundays and freeze it or cook simple foods - beans, rice, salads, etc. I hate to cook but I eat lots of the above.
The food companies made sure we do just that: fast food!
If you eat sugar and/or high refined carb (such as candy/pop or bread/pretzels) one day, it sets you up to crave more sugar/refined carbs the next day.
I believe everything you're saying. Sugar was making me sick everyday for years. Now I try not to have it at all. I feel so much better. Ofcourse I'm not perfect. When I do have it I want more & more and can't stop. It's better for me not to have any!
My grandfather lived to 90+ he had to have 3_4 TBS sugar in a one pint cup of tea twice per day!
@Indra S If that’s all the sugar he usually had he was doing much better then most.
I quit drinking 5.5 years ago while training to climb Mt. Aconcagua (22,841 feet). Never went back to drinking and hopefully never will. I just did a 5 + day fast and it was much easier than I thought it would be. I plan on cutting out processed sugar altogether very soon. This video helped.

I’ve been doing a keto/carnivore diet since 2019. I lost 52 pounds postmenopausal and have basically maintained my weight within 2 to 3 pounds of my loss up-to-date. I feel great! I do use Stevia in my coffee and I am a coffee connoisseur. I have two regular cups of coffee in the morning but I do drink a few cups of decaf throughout the day simply because I love the taste of coffee. I guess you could say the Stevia is my downfall if I were to only have one, that is it. It’s the natural organic type, but I suppose, too much of anything is no good ….we all know that. It hasn’t affected the scale, but the more I read about Stevia I find it does affect the Microbiome environment. According to Dr. Lustig, there are 52 names for sugar that are buried in an ingredient food list.
You're killing your kidneys eating a high meat diet.

This past spring, millions upon millions of pollinators died in Georgia..
They were in California waiting to go to Alaska to do their job, and the flight for some reason was deferred to Georgia. Of all places. And then sat on the tarmac for hours in the heat. When they travel, pollinators have to be kept cool, with airflow.
The airlines apologized and said they would learn from this experience and do better next time..
That doesn't help the poor bees, nor the owners livelihood.. 😔
Thanks Mark! It is super-very useful and healthy.
Seems all natural "functional medicine" people agree with you on sugar/carbs, etc intakes as the real problem.
You are such a huge help, thanks a lot.
The effects of added sugar intake - higher blood pressure, inflammation, weight gain, diabetes, and fatty liver disease - are all linked to an increased risk for heart attack and stroke.
Refined carbs , not complex , which are most important .
Thank you, Dr. Hyman for your time and for educating us
Once again, great review on the danger of sugar.
The sugar case is sooo complicated to deal with.Sugar is part of our culture.In Quebec, we grow apples and we produce maple syrup.So as kids we ate ham , fruit pies as dessert which we had every day and cakes were another choice as dessert.Dessert very impregnated in our culture.So it is very tough to cut sugar.I am 55 and I cut soft drinks. I drink a lot more water but I like ice cream and desserts. I got your books doctor and I try to cut as much as I can but in Canada it is so easy to find a sugar product.It is struggling to go to the market. I love eating i read your books doctor and it is sooo tough to eat better. I still try to. 33:28

Keep trying!! You got this💕🙏🏽
For the last 3yrs I went from 16oz(500ml) of coffee and 2 packets of hot choc then over ice then to 32 oz of coffee an one packet then over ice then no sugar hot choc then goat milk then coconut milk then choc protein powder then pure Cocoa powder and so on as I learned more but now I just dip a spoon into grass fed chocolate milk an stir my coffee with it. .. it's tough to replace our comforts an social norms but I feel above it now looking down on the soda drinkers and Starbucks phooffy drinks. Lol.. making healthy food taste great is a hobby and a necessity now...
-Chocolatier 7yrs ...
Can you spell A D D I C T I O N ???
@@solomonsalsberg5961 Try enjoying healthier desserts, maybe learn to make some. Also try replacing the white rice and pasta (if you consume them) with brown rice or quinoa and a spinach base pasta). See if you can find or order online a 'healthier' soda such as GUS (grown up soda) or similar. Lastly do your own research....nothing drives the point home like what you read and understand for yourself.
The slow reduction of sugar in the foods you consume and the drinks will result in almost immediate benefits that you will feel which will in turn increase your desire to stick with the replacements. In short, any significant reduction in sugar consumption beats no change at all. Wishing you the best and you can do it! 👍
This is so great!! Thank you Dr for all of this information ♥️⭐♥️⭐
My mom tells the story, before I left the hospital as a newborn, they put Karo in my bottle to get me to drink more. True story.
Now I’m here because I was recently diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia. I’m researching the possible effects sugar has as a trigger.
That Karo move was common practice back in the day.
One question for Dr. Hyman and I hope you can answer this. What about wine? What would you say about wine consumption with regard to sugar?
Go off sugar and caffeine watch your anxiety reduce significantly.
I love this. I wish i could influence my grandkids to make better choices for their kids. It hurts me to see sweets as a reward for doing well. . . Thank you for all the information.
Here is something I recently learned. I have always been told 120/80 BP was good. Today I was tested at 120/73 and the nurse said that my BP was really good. But then I went online and it says that 120 is pushing the levels of pre-hypertension, I also learned that the new standard of health is 130/80. I have found that there is a correlation of systolic with V02 max and diastolic and resting heart rate. Not sure if this is medically true or not, but seems to correlate.
In European countries NORMAL Blood Pressure is 140/90.
Big Pharma keeps on lowering the blood pressure numbers just to sell more blood pressure medications and bigger profits
You're amazing, brother. Love listening to you! Get's me pumped up and helps me stay the healthy course! Thank you mucho!! 🙂

Sugar also saved my life. During an awful UC flareup, I was losing so much blood most of the time that I used the bathroom and I was using the bathroom up to 10 to 15 times a day with nothing but liquid diarrhea all day for 3 months. It was a never ending nightmare. But something that helped my body maintain energy was sugar. White bread was something my body loved and all those carbs helped me in so many ways. The sugary sports drinks also helped me feel more normal and energetic. In fact, I almost fainted one day, and sugar brought me right back. I still eat sugar and foods that turn into sugar. I also exercise everyday and feel super healthy these days. My gut is working again, no more blood, and normal stools. I still enjoy sweets in moderation. In fact, I no longer drink caffein, but carbs and sugar give me steady energy throughout the day and I don't crash like I used to with caffein. Sugar is not bad, it's the way you consume it that can be bad and what kind of conditions that also determine if you should avoid sugar. But for people like me, sugar is a life saver.
You had an unusual and very serious medical condition . I'm surprised you didn't need IV hydration and hospitalization. With literally everything going right through you ( constant diarrhea) any fluids you could keep down and any solid food you could tolerate would help you. Hope u r doing better now. If your UC is stable you might consider being tested for lactose intolerance and celiac disease.
@@lindajones4849 Thank you, I'm still doing fine. I'm struggling a bit, but it's been very manageable. As for the lactose, it's ironic you mention intolerance because dairy products are another thing that kept me living happily through the flare. It helped me maintain some weight and I've never had a lactose problem. Milk, cheese, and yogurt all saved my life too. Those were literally the only foods that my body seemed to absorb. Banana, white bread, chicken, and dairy were the only foods that I felt like my body was gaining energy from, and then the sports drink helped maintain my energy. Everything else, my gut would immediately reject. I still can't eat carrots, they go right through me, and broccoli makes me cramp. It's very strange. The only greens I can thoroughly digest are soft green beans, and lettuce. Not iceberg lettuce. Oh and sweet potato is my new favorite veggie, my body can digest it quite well. However, I can still eat very moderate amounts of cooked veggies like broccoli now that I'm doing far better, but I choose to avoid them. It's a very strange condition to be honest, but I've been making it through. I'm surprised myself that I didn't get any IV injections and stuff, I was literally staying strong and holding on to life. I never want to feel that way ever again. Sunshine also keeps me healthy, I don't know what it does, but it rejuvenates me and makes me feel calm and happy. I remember sitting in the sun during my intense flare up, and whenever I was in the sun, my symptoms would quite for longer than usual. The sun has magic powers that scientist aren't talking about!
Great Dr Hyman. Thank you.
Any advise what drink my mum can have as she doesn’t like the taste of water . U advise no sugar drinks & not sweetened drinks ? What else is there pls ? Thank u
Keep gallons of water overnight. This will drastically reduce sulphur from liquid to gas.... out of the water. Can't drink or cook with the water straight out of the sink faucet. My cats prefer the still water too.
Hello Doctor Hyman from Kathmandu.
Please advise about Yakun Syrup and Bee Bread. Bee bread is fermented form of Honey so far. How is the glycemic index between honey and bee bread. Thank you .
Great work Doc!
Thanks & that cuts out my “splenda” in my coffee. 😅& I just bought a box of 1000 packets thinking it is good & it’s not. I also drink tumeric water with honey every 2 days. 3 times a week I drink a smoothie with a vegetable, fresh berries that I freeze, with almonds, chia/hemp seeds, water, moringa powder or tumeric powder. I occasionally eat 70% dark chocolate & sometimes the forbidden chocolate. So now today no more Splenda or forbidden chocolate & I have great willpower when it comes to my health. I just had blood work done & results were good. I work out daily & you mentioned “monk fruit”, which will be added to my diet in moderation. Is monk fruit good in coffee? I also drink tea with or without honey. What sugars are good besides monk fruit again? Thank you so much for sharing!! ❤❤❤

This was so helpful! Thank you Dr. Mark!
I believe I have a good metabolism. My friends are worrying about how can my main nutrition be sugar, yet for decades my blood works are excellent. I really don't see the reason why I should stop. Do you think I am just lucky? That I will suddenly get sick in the future? The only reason I see is that I personally don't like addictions
I'm interested in what specific blood work you had. Did you get a FASTInG blood sugar and fasting insulin level? This is VERY important. Suggest asking a doc for a glucose tolerance test because I'm concerned u may be headed for diabetes. Best wishes.
Thanks for the agave tip. I didn't realize it's that high in fructose specifically. 20% glucose. Gatorade used to be all glucose. Interesting right. Natures way, pile in the fructose to get the fat to store. Never get full. Thanks for what you do. I wish i found you 20 years ago when i was messed up. I probably wouldn't have listened to you either. I hope others do and go to to and follow it to a T.
The sweet Poison that is killing the world! The soda and sport drink companies should be held accountable for what they are doing to the world population.Just imagine how much lower our health insurance would be.
What is the proper blood test i should have in my annual checkup concerning sugar leves?
Get fasting blood sugar and fasting insulin level . Getting the fasting insulin level is important . Your fasting blood sugar is the last thing to rise before you become diabetic. If your blood sugar is normal but your your fasting insulin level is high you r on the way to becoming diabetic but have some time to change your lifestyle and prevent full blown diabetes.
Brilliant video. Very easy to understand- congratulations on such a well done video

And, because sugar is so addictive, the more you eat the more you crave. The less you eat the less you crave.

i,ve type 2 diabetes what should i do?
I have started the DETOX this week. I have followed low carb / keto diets for a decade - unfortunately I will go through periods (holidays mostly) where I will let it go and will feel horrible come end of December - January. I get back and start loosing the weight after a period of withdrawal from the carbs. However this week, the detox has taken a bit more of a withdrawal - where I feel tired and irritable (ask my wife). I turned 66 last fall, and I now want the benefits of using food as medicine and get off my chol drug and my gout drug... I did make a deal with my cardiologist and GP that I would ask to have the labs drawn to see if the Chol and uric acid is dropping - but how will I know? About how long do you think?
I have also passed along your website to my Sister-in-law, because they have always had a problem with carb overload - and now my brother is recovering from a triple bypass. . They will need our prayers to get onto this....
I'm 80, fat, love sweets and am diagnosed with congestive heart failure. So after seeing your video, it appears that the damage has already been done from a lifetime of over eating sweets. Will it really make much difference at my age if I get off eating sweets? Is it worth the suffering for the reward at my age?
U r 80. U already lived a great life . U r lucky u got to eat everything ❤
One sweetener that was not mentioned was allulose. It sounds less damaging that the others. I use very little of any sweetener but am curious if allulose wold be a good choice when just a little is used.
I believe all the others are less damaging than sugar.....
Holy crap another authority on health.
Dr. Hyman, when all addictions need psychiatrists abd psychologists then why are they not involved in food n sugar addiction? How can you overcome any addiction without this kind of help?

I rarely use white sugar and never corn syrup, but….. I love fresh maple syrup I buy from a local maker. I enjoy a spoonful in my coffee one day a week. Such a treat!

If you are obese and have a Fatty liver, then bathing your liver in a fructose cocktail isn't going to improve your health.
Sugar is sugar doesn't matter which source it comes from ! remove the fibre by juicing it's even worse ,
You are breaking down the fiber and causing a bigger spike by not eating the whole fruit. The fiber is what helps to counteract the fructose in fruit.
Sounds like it would kill me.
@@vickikleist2263 Fiber doesn't counteract sugar. Fiber will slow down the blood sugar spike, but our bodies will still have to handle every bit of sugar that was in the fruit we ate. An insulin response happens whether we eat a banana, a pop tart, or Cheerios. Insulin response is the body producing insulin in order to handle storing the sugar we just ate. The more sugar, the more insulin. High insulin response is the root behind hypertension (aka high blood pressure), type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
It's no surprise that NAFLD is showing up in children these days. Non stop sugar consumption. Non stop carb consumption.
Thanks dr

Oddly, the FDA refuses to accept anything of what we say about sugar and artificial sweeteners. Beginning in 2000, I bought 25 lbs of pure green leaf organic stevia. I used it whole and ground. When I finally ran out, I started using the $6 bottle of the Pure Stevia powder. I make 1/2 gallon of green tea, Jasmine, and add less than 1/8 tsp. I am 68, 5’7” 125 lbs male. Why are we getting baggy eyes. Very frustrating. We have to stop telling people to just stop offending their microbiome. We need a video explanation to show the BUGS IN THE GUT REACTING.
I friggin had pizza for the first time in over a yee'uh. The reason being under my truck all day pulling out strands of serpentine belt caught in the pullys. I had to habs some food like pronto, no bee'uh. Man...carb city overload! Then came the chocolate cookie. It'll take a week to get back to where I was metabolically.
POLITE NOTICE: It's important to stop using the word FAT in a negative light since FAT is intrinsic to our physiology. Your cleanse and repair system runs on fat.
I am a sugar addict
I was raised on sugar - cakes, biscuits etc. no discipline as a child and had many many stomach issues as a result. Looking back it's a miracle that I did not die young.
Now at 50 years old, if I try to quit sugar I get very angry
I consume around 800g of brown sugar in my tea per month + small amounts of biscuits, cakes, white chocolate or ice cream everyday
I do not crave or eat many other carbs - bread, potatoes, rice or pasta only the sweet stuff.
Aged 44 I tried a "healthy" 6 months of vegetable soups alongside my sugar daily intake. Ooops. My appendix got so inflamed I should be dead so they cut it out. I survived and learnt that we are carnivores and that plants have no place in the body. Pretty much everything in our supermarkets is poison
Luckily I have always naturally found meat to be tasty and made me feel nice, so I have always eaten meat also. This is no doubt what has kept me in good health.
Although I do not have any health issues and rarely get sick, I do know I need to quit sugar - but I have no idea how to do it.
The ONLY time I do not crave sweet is if I drink alcohol, which of course is worse and TBH I don't like it so I don't drink anyway
Feel free to advise.
Cheers
@trixiek942 I have never drunk coffee, in UK we are TEA heads but I like mine with full fat cream and brown sugar.
@trixiek942 I do think that sugar consumption makes your blood thicker but drinking water can counter it.
Try hypnosis with someone who is certified and experienced treating addictions.
Question, and I'm sure I know the answer...but is kombucha a no-no?
Kombucha is great for us! Why are you thinking it might not be good?
Depends on the amount of sugar it's made with. I made some bottles myself and tried to keep the sugar content low, it still ended up with about as much sugar as apple juice, so I stopped drinking kombucha. I don't drink apple juice either.
My husband does like a “real” Coke every once in awhile. But most is made with high fructose corn syrup. He does find some in glass bottles made with real sugar. He knows that no sugar is good for him but at least he knows to steer clear of the other ones particularly
