In very simple terms without all the BS.....in the 1960s we ate meals at home. Mom cooked from scratch. McDonalds was twice a year, not everyday. We went outside and played hard and rode bikes after school until it got dark. We slept like a log because we ran our asses off. I'm 66 and I still live like this...cook my own meals, no fast food, play hard...ride my bike, work in my yard.
No obesity, end of story. Simple.
Yep, fast food and processed snacks from the 60s started all this. I'm 68 and McDonalds was a special once in a while thing. Still weighing the same as my younger years. The addiction of the snacks are still a thing though.
@@sgray4995 Glad to hear you're still the same weight.
I learned long ago to just leave the snacks at the store. If you buy them you will eat them.
In extremely simple terms.... money. Everything that is wrong with western "medicine" and our love of BIG food and pharma is because of greed. Oh, and politics, let's not forget that one because it could all change for the better if we could get the money out of politics. Will never happen, sadly. Alas, it's up to us to change the system from the bottom up. When I walk into a grocery store I enter with the knowledge that it's filled with products put there by companies that want my money and could care less about my health. I carry that cynical view whenever engaging in any kind of capitalist transaction here in the west. Not saying capitalism is bad. Out of control, unregulated capitalism where greedy people can do whatever they want is bad.
@@missyperry9510 I still do but less.
Zionist government injected subsidized corn syrup around 1970 +/- knowing the effect on dopamine receptors.
My problem was stress. A very stressful job and a not very pleasant boss. No matter how much I exercise or how I ate I kept gaining. I finally had enough and retired. Now I have no stress I eat healthy and exercise. I have lost almost 60pounds. My arthritis is gone my A1c went from 7.9 to 5.9 Stress is something almost all American workers are going through. They go home exhausted stop at the fast food place and can’t exercise because they are exhausted.
Same here. I’ve lost 60 pounds in my late sixties. Being retired and free from work stress is the underlying reason for my success. Having the time to prepare healthy meals and exercise regularly is key to weight loss and maintenance.
Stress releases cortisol periodic cortisol is used for the fight or flight moment. Stress also accelerates the aging process of the human body and increases the risk of diseases. A woman is abused by her husband for years will experience acceleration of the aging process disability. I'm glad you're retired
When we are super stressed, we secrete large amounts of cortisol which opposes weight loss too.
I have a good boss but my job is very stressful, I drive a truck. I've gained nearly 100lbs in 20 years of driving. I have developed high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, anxiety and I have no hobbies. I'm 47 years old and I feel like I'm 70.
Hated my job. It was horrendously stressful and the bosses all sucked. Gained a lot of weight plus damaged my back. Unfortunately, after a terrible back surgery that left me partially paralyzed, I still have that weight because now I can't really move very well because of loss of balance.
Visited Vietnam for 15 days. 100% fresh food by the ocean and all fresh veggies and fruit. Felt 100% better than food in the USA 🇺🇸
I went to Vietnam for 3 weeks and lost 20-25 lbs just eating the food there.
You can do this in the USA as well.
No way! The food industry in the USA has ruined our soil. And they own congress
Vietnam residents have the lowest obisity rate in the modern world.
don't people in vietnam also eat snacks and sweets though?
I am a baby boomer and when I was growing up in white middle class suburban America in the 60’s obesity was much lower and you rarely saw children who were even a little bit overweight.
Big difference from today.
In the neighborhood I grew up in I was always outside playing with other kids in the neighborhood - riding our bikes, running around, playing different ball games. Today when I drive back to my childhood neighborhood there is literally NOBODY outside. I guess all the kids today in my old neighborhood are inside on the internet and/or playing video games.
Not sure how this situation is going to resolve itself - the obesity problem in America seems to just continue to get worse.
@@justadude4826 : you could be right about the lower birth rate as to why I don’t see any kids outside playing.
It’s still such a contrast to the way my childhood neighborhood was when I was growing up there. But life is about change - it will be interesting to see what my old neighborhood looks like 50 years from now, even though I won’t be around to see it!
Okay Boomer
You and I have witnessed the exact same thing. I grew up in SE Minnesota doing Tom Sawyer stuff, running my bike all over the gravel roads in the county, climbed the bluffs, built tree forts. I have no idea what kids do today
@@vester7457 Whatever they do, it involves a phone.
Fructose makes a person sluggish and less motivated physically. The fructose being added to every food substance is a cause. Fructose releases a hormone that makes you crave more food. And it causes the inactive state simultaneously creating a vicious cycle.
My recently passed lifestyle as airline pilot messed my eating patterns and food, sleep and ability to exercise as much as needed . I woke up to what it was doing thankfully & a career change.
it can be difficult in modern life to stay healthy, but take care of your most precious thing, body & mind as one...
6 months later I feel a different person
I’ve learned when you are eating unprocessed foods, you can skip most aisles of the grocery store. Hit the produce, the meats, the dairy and maybe a thing or two from condiments (read those labels!) and you’re ready to go.
My biggest changes were to plan the meals ahead of time and schedule time for food prep. Cut myself free from frozen food. My grandfather (born 1899) used to say that frozen food is “garbage food”. I use his phrase now to divert myself from ultra processed temptation.
My challenges were/are sugar addiction, binges, and a lifetime of snacking. I’m down 42 lbs and am no longer obese. I have some lbs to go before I am at a normal weight range.
I am extremely indebted to and grateful for educational videos like this one for teaching the why and how and the way out.
I will add more to this message, from my personal experience :
PROF. LUSTIG SAVED MY LIFE (!!!) (when I discovered him on TH-cam over 3 years ago !)
I made 180 degrees turn around in my food/ eating habits, from being a low fat /vegetarian (following the mainstream medicine recommendations and actually exceeding them ) for almost 20 years. Now on a low carbohydrates/ carnivore/ high fat lifestyle for 2.5 years and my health has improved dramatically, almost overnight.
I'm 66 yo, medication free (I eliminated high blood pressure and enlarged prostate medications) plus my food allergies/sensitivities which were increasing/ spreading rapidly during a few years before going Keto/ OMAD, remarkably vanished as well (I used Epipen twice, first time after eating a small amount of almonds and the second after walnuts when I was a vegetarian....now I consume them safely .)
God Bless Prof. Lustig and Dr. Sten Ekberg ( my second personal Saver) 🙏
I use frozen veggies to simplify prep.
So do I, no waste.
@@oldnatty61same
Frozen vegetables are the second healthiest food, not garbage. Lumping in lean cuisine and frozen Brussels sprouts is idiotic
"Wherever you see politics, money always follows. Once you notice those two combinations, something terrible is at the end of it. This is the law" - ME
Or: Money rules the world
At 59 I looked in the mirror and saw a man out of shape. Not fat just unfit. Analysis of my habits coming in from work cracking open a beer watching TV then it being too late to cook ordering take aways. I wasn’t inactive I go WCS dancing and play Airsoft but I was always feeling under par and out of breath.
So I wanted to be fit by the time I hit 60. Worked out every day. Cut drinking then went teetotal built a home gym in my garage. After work I do a session for an hour or more. Cut the TV , cook a balanced meal. Now I am fitter than men half my age. All it takes is discipline.
So true, DISCIPLINE 😊 Took me forever to learn this, but glad I did.
"... All it takes is discipline."
AND a sufficient level of health and fitness to accomplish what you did. Some injuries and/or illnesses can sideline you no matter how disciplined you are. (Don't ask me how I know.)
The fittest man in our field artillery unit was out of shape. Nobody could beat him in physical power, fitness or endurance. But he was pink and obese. Body shape doesn't define fitness.
@@noyota Exceptions don't disprove rules.
I have watched many videos with Dr Lustig. He speaks a truth that the world needs to hear!
As well. he is a GREAT storyteller !!!
How do you know?
Yet he talked about a study done by Dr. Bray that doesn't exist
@@Ryan-wx1bi You mean: Bray GA, Gallagher TF (1975). "Manifestations of hypothalamic obesity in man: a comprehensive investigation of eight patients and a review of the literature". Medicine (Baltimore). 54 (4): 301-30. doi:10.1097/00005792-197507000-00002. PMID 1152672. S2CID 22332621?
He is full of shit
Carbohydrates in general but highly processed food especially is the reason.
At the age of 60 I had 12kg to much and changed my diet to Ketogene. Cut out almost all the carbs. Still ate a lot but no carbs and lost the 12kg within 5 Months without any sport or excercizes. The best is: Never hungry Only disadvantage: cooking is a must, it just does not work without it.
Carbs has nothing to do with weight gain. It is the processed carb that is bad. Eating anything over the maintenance levels with increase your weight. Keto is a very bad diet. Human body needs carbohydrates. Dont be a Facebook soccer mom
Carbohydrates are fine. It's the refined carbohydrates that are the issue.
Not for me. Lowering my carb to no more than 25 grams a day and increasing protein was the only way I could lose my excess weight.
The guy literally changed my life with his fructose 2.0 lecture.
How so? Did you stop eating fruit?
Isnt fructose found in fruit? So eating fruit is bad?
Thank god for TH-cam-
I'm 63 and knew nothing about nutrition and what to eat and what to avoid.
I had no way to access the necessary knowledge until TH-cam, your channel and your guest, Dr. Robert Lustig!
Thank you from the bottom of my grateful heart!
❤
Same here. I really thank God for TH-cam. I would have died because of lack of knowledge.

That’s right, for this and many other things
@@phethokuhledlamini6297 Same here! I'll be 103 on Friday & I can't believe I made it this far without Him! Now armed with this stunning new info I should make it to 112-115 at least😁🙋🙏
@@dossegundos7145 I really thank the Gods, including God Dr Lusting, for TH-cam! He's my savior, the Messiah! Just saying, he's on a messianic quest😁🙋🙏
He's 100% right. It's insulin and sugar.
I've experienced this.
I had radiation treatment as a child which resulted in a mengioma in my 30s.
I was always hungry and had low energy.
I read the book Sugar Blues and The Sugar Busters diet book. Now understanding the effects of sugar on insulin and learning how to eat right I am healthy and energetic.
Too much fat keeps sugar in the blood, which keeps producing insulin. Without the fat, insulin production can stop. China's eaten a white rice diet for 1000 years and didn't get fat.
Yet there are people who lost weight only eating Twinkies.
@@Ryan-wx1bi but most of the weight they lost was when their body's determined in their coffins.
@@Viper-dc2wm Nope, they are alive and well. They did it for a year. It's calories, not sugar
@@Ryan-wx1bi yes and there are people who smoke cigarettes and live until they are 90. However, MOST people have negative effects from smoking and sugar. Js
Because we are lied to every hour of every day is why !!!
I am 67 years old, Was sedentary during middle age, beginning at around 50 I slowly turned this around in various ways. Then I discovered weight training and now do a workout six days a week. It is a complete workout whole body. Some day body weight only, the next with weights.
Excellent!
Your over training sir..muscle building isnt marathon training..id bet ive got bigger muscles than you just doing one set per muscle group per week.
I enjoy eating what I want from 8 am till 4 pm. All in moderation and then I go to bed at 10 with nothing in my stomach. It’s a fasting window from 4 pm-8 am. It’s the easiest thing. No guess work, no weighing my food or anything else. And I’m in a healthy weight 👍🏻
You need to mention your current age since it is a critical factor related to your current health status. Are you aware that weight is a good predictor of health, but it isn't perfect :
- 25 % overweight/ obese people are perfectly healthy metabolically.
- 25 % of normal weight people are metabolically sick, and if you are young you won't be typically aware/ have any bothersome symptoms until you aged to be over 50 yo...
But good luck to you and hope you will live well over 100 yo 👍
Time restrictive eating is beneficial. I used to be addicted to gluten free snacks like the flavoured chips 🍟. I couldn’t stop eating. I was 10 kilos overweight. I ate too often. That was 2 years ago. A few months later I cut back on carbs, both refined and plant based. Began intermittent fasting and time restrictive eating. Gym and home fitness. Then gradually the ketogenic lifestyle. I’ve lost 12 kilos since
Fasting that long is a good thing, but it does not take away all the garbage food you eat during the day. If you feed yourself garbage during a certain window, does not make that garbage healthy.
Wonderful doc. Also yudkin was amazing. OK, he focused on sugar solely, when refined carbs were also responsible. Evil happens when good men stand by. 5 or 6 companies provide everything we eat. They use sugar. You guys are not standing by. Well done.
Weight is only one of the maaany parameters to define health, also body constitution is different for some people, different bone density...
The problem is not the food, it’s the sugar they put in food.A couple goes to Africa, eat the same food that they have been eating in western world, but they steadily losing weight without trying- because African do not add sugar to their food. Now before you all come for me, I am not saying that everyone in Africa avoid putting sugar in their food, but majority do not add sugar to their food. It has nothing to do with poverty or starvation.In western world,it’s the less privileged people that are mostly obese.Let that sink in for a minute.
I am African. And what you said is the opposite of what I see every day.
I really believe your right
Not just the sugar…the omega 6 oils they put into everything is very damaging too. Processed food is evil..the worst thing you can put in your mouth.
Yes less privileged and often under educated.
Filling up on cheap white bread,
cakes, biscuits, potatoes, rice
etc ....
You must LEARN
I'm from Poland (eastern Europe, till 1989 behind iron curtain) and I'm a little suprised about this "news" because I'm 40 years old and all that things was obvious for me when i was teenager or even when I was in elementary school I always heard that "siugar is bad for you" :|
Yes, but the US and other western countries have had more sugar products pushed at them. The education wasn't there and now there are millions and millions of sick people world over. You go to a developing country who never had sickness and obesity, give them Western junk food and the population gets sicker and sicker very quickly. And the worse thing is, this stuffs so addictive.
that's true....@@veez_vee9573
@@veez_vee9573,
"... so addictive."
The crime here is that that is intentional.
@@ArcoZakusI agree. It's absolutely criminal. The US government would put in prision anyone who deliberately tried to poison others with common poisons- arsenic or cyanide - however, they allow processed food producers to poison us with chemicals few of us can pronounce.
That talk had more energy from min 14:00 to 14:30 than the latest episode of Mission Impossible. What a trip!
So, basically, the processed food industry is killing us.
Yes, the pharmaceutical companies love it.
I’m 50 seem to be able to eat what I want but I’m always energetic and walking and moving. Just moving and walking a lot seems to be the key
I'm really enjoying your content! I've been doing intermittent fasting for almost 3 years. Lost 40 lbs and have maintained while sucking up lots of information! Learning about metabolic syndrome, how the odds are stacked against us and the problems with sugar and high fructose corn syrup, in particular. I really respect and appreciate Dr Lustig. He is by all measures a Pioneer and a hero. I try to watch a couple of videos a day regarding health whether it's about supplements, new developments, or exposing the poisons in our supermarkets. Addicts go to AA to keep their sobriety top of mind. I don't feel at risk of ever becoming obese, but it makes your daily choices even easier when your strengthening them with knowledge everyday. Thank you for your podcast, again I'm really enjoying them. Perfect balance of lots of information but very understandable for someone who isn't a doctor.
Cheers! Joe- recently 60. 6' 170, no meds, take a lot of healthy supplements and wearing the same size jeans I did in high school. Amazing how great our bodies can treat us when we treat them well.
Thank you doctor. Appreciate all your podcasts and books.
The two of you are like the dream team!!! ❤ great clip.
When I first started quitting sugary junk food loaded with high fructose corn syrup the pain from the withdrawal nearly overwhelmed me. It was as bad and sometimes worse than the pain from nicotine withdrawals.
Listen...ive successfully quit alcohol..marijuana...opiates with relative ease...but sugar is a monster to quit..and science backs me.. rats addicted to cocaine will choose sugar over cocaine if they can only have one.. sugar meets every definition of a drug
Stress and environment have a lot to do with it. Many people on here are saying ‘it’s simple’, but if you work long shifts more than 11 hour ones, then stopping any food at 4pm just doesn’t work. Every person will need different things but to pre-pack foods that are good and stick to them helps.
Agree!
stopping eating at 4pm isn't necessary. You just gotta eat healthy, reduce stress, exercise.
I've always been a late eater. I even sometimes eat in the middle of the night. I'm 55, thin & healthy. And I now teach health on my channel.
Morgan study the Telomere Effect. Poor mental heakth does age the human body.
Thank You so much for sharing wisdom! 🙏
Wow ! I need to share this ! Thank you from Quebec !
OMG! This is so refreshing! To listen to Dr Lustig, a real doctor, trained doctor, not a chiropractor or a trainer or body builder or some fly by night “doctor”, talk about the underpinnings of obesity, dangers of sugar and the importance of a good diet. 👏👏👏. I’ve been watching every video where Dr Lustig is interviewed and have ordered his book. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and educating the world.
I feel the same! And am definitely ordering the book as well. He is a very smart and down to earth doctor who seems to genuinely care about helping people. I am certain his book will e a keystone resource in my library
Right? And I thought it was just on TH-cam but the other day I saw a client and she showed me her CGM that her Chiro gave her and is checking her metabolic syndrome fhat I don't even know if she have as she's skinny
He is referring to brain tumor treatments survivors. Sorry but for the rest of us behavior is the cause.
You do know that MD’s get zero health and nutrition classes in college, right ?
Any Drs and chiropractors and fitness fanatics that are well versed on HEALTH, is because they studied on their own and researched it for themselves. They got zero training in college
@@IaneHoweyou can be metabolically unfit and be thin
I am so thankful for these doctors who genuinely care about people!
Another great doc is Bobby Price!
Hooray for this video and these docs.
Sir, I am impressed by your ability to present this (dirty) truth in a way that, without lowering the scientific quality of it, also non medical professionals can benefit of! Thank you!
He is a true activist, which is a rare thing these days.
Excellent work, Doc!!! Thx!!!
Love it! Thank you.
Thank you so much!
That's really fascinating about insulin. I've noticed if I eat foods less likely to spike it I always seem to have more energy and endurance that day. I contributed it to blood sugar manipulation but seems there's more to it
An amazing talk.
Classic AA treatment is to substitute sugar for alcohol. My take on knowing several folks in AA was that the addiction was not being addressed. Research is proving me correct. if the alcohol didn’t destroy their liver, then the sugar would do the job.
Very sobering video
I was a personal trainer for years. Humans relationships to food is not logical it emotional and people make all kinds of excuses to eat what they want. I have heard some weird ones, like "God wants me to be this size"! It's a difficult nut to crack. I helped some people but other were so deep into their justifications they needed a shrink not a personal trainer.
2:30 is where I decided he's full of it. The excited behavior afterwards a strong que as well.
Oh yay have not seen dr lustig lately. Always good to hear him
People are taught by the food industry to consume food that is cooked. When we went to school in the 70s we had Home economics, cooking lessons. We were taught to cook the food we purchased. People were told fat is bad in food, so they took out the fat and put in more sugar, which is then stored as fat. People in the UK live on takeaways. In the 70s and 80s my small local town had 4 takeaways. By 1995 it had 17 out of 100 shops....
Until I got stuck taking these meds my bmi was very low I weighed 140 pounds, since the meds I weigh 250. In 12 years going on and off the meds my weight constantly changes.
Thank you for sharing Dr Lustig's information. Follow the money!!!$$$$$
Excellent
Outstanding
Just bought Metabolical here in Austria.
Looking forward to enjoying your analysis.
CHAPEAU, Prof.Lustig…
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love this guy.
Love from India 🇮🇳
Wow... Great information on so many levels! And to put a capper on it... I had to watch an ad for pineapple juice before the video started!🤣🤣
Its got to be diet & lack of exercise, 🚴♀️ ive been deprived for yrs , parents, i been running for yrs too , how i delt , but im old now & still skinny, so diet & exercise do work's 🚴♀️
Sugar, preservatives, certain salts and seed oils. Flour is aka sugar.
What did the native Americans and my ancestors from Norway eat in the middle of North America? They ate mostly meat from wild animals they killed and some berries and nuts, etc. they picked from the bushes and trees. Those Europeans came with their sugary treats, pasta, and ideas to build factories to process food so it could sit on shelves in their grocery markets. The big money generated by those processed foods made it possible for them to build even better manufacturing plants and process naturally grown foods into all kinds of crazy packaged products that are now mostly chemically processed to make them taste good. If you eat the diet that native Americans and the first settlers west of the Mississippi ate after they were given free land from the U.S. government, you will enjoy life without too many medical problems.
Absolutely true.
You need to keep up w/ the latest research. Native Americans seldom had meat. That is incorrect. They ate greens, roots, seeds, nuts & occassional meat. Eskimos ate a lot of animal flesh, but they never lived long.
@@annemccarron2281 You need to find out what diet those researchers were eating first. if they are vegans, they will never admit that the main diet of American Natives was bison. In fact, that animal was their way of keeping themselves alive during the harsh winters by using their hides for shelter, clothing, etc. I'm sure they picked berries in season and ate some roots and other plants but their main diet was meat from all the various wild animals that lived with them.
I had chemo back in 2017, and have had weight issues ever since. But I dont use sugar or fructose at all. My thyroid levels have gone from hypo to hyper. Now its normal. What are my chances my dr will try octriatide? I think I have damage to my hypothymus.
Moral of the Story: "Crazed toxicologists are powerful allies."
Doctor Lustig, Could Octreotide help type 2 diabetics???
Thank You.
Seed oils. I stopped eating those and lost 80 pounds in 6 months.
Fructose is part of sucrose, but it is not the same as glucose(dextrose) which is not processed by the liver. Sucrose = fructose + glucose. Glucose seems to be less addictive as well.
Listen to this man. He could change your life!
I purposely overate all the junk food I could literally stomach in one fell swoop; hoping for aversion therapy to help alleviate my persistent sweet tooth. I woke up the next day with a genuine hangover from my liver trying to process all the refined sugar. Also my muscles & joints hurt; like a hangover I haven’t experienced since I used to drink. Guess moderation is the key as good doc says ✌️
For many people (most) when it comes to sugar, there’s no such thing as moderation. They can’t do it.
True. The bacteria living on sugars that grow in your gut release a bunch of hormones and neurotransmitters that make you crave what THEY thrive on. @@Soapgirl64
Me,too.
Is this clip from a full podcast?

I got sick. Had surgery. Fertility issues. And then I went vegan for fertility. And then my thyroid tanked and I’m hypothyroid. I have been like this for three years and I’ve gained so much weight for the first time in my life. I’m so distressed- it doesn’t matter how little I eat- I gain. I feel like I’m in a mess that I don’t know how to undo. My in-laws act like I eat too much and just need to exercise! So upsetting.
Proof them right by eating lots and lots of meat , beef, butter, bacon, lard, tallow, ghee. Stay away from vegan diet, cooking oils, sugar, wheat, cereals, grains. Make Lactobacilus Reuteri yogurt (Dr.William Davis recipe) homemade sauerkraut. Take care !
Start with real food ( not ultra processed) first. Then work from there.
I know exactly how you feel. I was there. I had Hypothyroidism to the point that I'm sure i was dying. I got to the point where I was hardly eating anything at all and had diahorea bad and I was still gaining weight!!! My feet were like balloons!
It took me ages to work out what was causing it. It was an antidepressant I was put on for anxiety. I was on it for 4 years and had no problems, then I started getting sick. All up I was on it for 13 years before I worked out it was doing it. Fast forward to today, I'm no longer on it and I no longer have hypothyroidism. That being said, my Thyroid gets upset easy and symptoms return even if I take Paracetamol for more than a couple of days.
Are you on an antidepressant? They are notorious for causing Hypothyroidism. Of course Drs won't tell you this. Any kind of Psychiatric drug can get you there. If you are on any medication for ANYTHING, investigate it thoroughly to see if there have been instances or reports of anyone getting Hypothyroidism from it.
Also, if you haven't already looked up the Stop the Thyroid madness website, then do that too. Very good information on there.
Also ditch fluoridated water, fluoride attacks the Thyroid. Be careful with goitrogens as well ( certain plants like spinach will cause problems). In the end something toxic is upsetting your Thyroid.
Hypothyroidism is awful and no one can understand just how sick you feel, and it is isolating. The exhaustion is beyond measure.
I wish you the best.
You may consider doing the opposite. Contact Dr. Ken Berry or search him on TH-cam. Then read all the comments attached to his videos. One story after another from people who became very healthy and got off all medications. Hope that’s helps. God bless and be well
I was like that; get tested for insulin resistance and diabetes. Oh, veggie protein is much higher in sugars than meat, it metabolises fast, so you also need more ...see where this goes??
Sugar takes lot work to break down in the body😬
Would someone please tell me if the negative role of fructose means fruits should be avoided after all?
I was blocked from using a west coast athletic facility in washingtin because I was telling some teens and one ymca life guard Dr Robert lustig and Dr Catherine Blackburn the science of food and how we need to be carefully what we eat. I left the jacuzzi and one of the young lifeguards who were not in hearing range ran into the locker room yelled at me threading me to not use the jacuzzi ever again. As I was leaving the night manager stopped me at the door said the worker felt uncomfortable and he blocked me said I needed to talk to the executive director to unlock my my subscription.
That is insane.
profound.
In 1978 at age 15, I had never seen a morbidly obese person.
I moved to N America and was shocked.
I just assumed that this was a N American problem.
My “aha moment” was watching the Kennedy space launch documentary.
I was surprised to see zero obese persons in the crowds.
Fast forward to 2023. Morbid obesity in the UK, India, Australia.
Whatever happened it happened in time.
When exactly did obesity manifest in the US? In the UK, other countries.
What happened in each of those countries at that time.
High fructose corn syrup maybe. Also addition of preservatives to shelf stabilize food. Which hijack the thyroid.
Food companies hijacking the satiety hormones to sell more product.
The hydra has many heads. But economic greed and gluttony is probably at the centre of it all.
BUT. What you have shown is that whatever increases insulin, causes problems. For normal people (not damaged by the medical profession) that means EAT LESS OFTEN.
'8:58: 'We get sick first, then the weigh gain happens....' The OPPOSITE of previous (*and still prevalent) medical ideas of how weight gain originates. Insulin is KEY. Lustig's research and courage in calling out the food industry is fantastic. Thank you, Dr. Lustig.
Not everyone as I am not!
I have been listening to this Doctor for a long time. Very rarely you see a Pioneer/genius like this medical Doctor.😅 The more I listen to him the more wholeheartedly I am convinced. As a rule 5=10% of all professional are geniuses or pioneers and the rest is just average. From mechanics to medical doctors. I have a condition and I cannot find any Doctor who could pin point what is it exactly. My diagnosis from SSS Sick sinus syndrome heart failure 2 we dint see any problem I am 70 years old I go to gym every day I exercise very heavily and I eat very well. 4 cardiologists 4 different diagnosis?
About the time Crisco was introduced to the world is when it all began!
I tried to do intermittent fasting and wait till 11 00 to eat. The interesting thing is my body stress level stays low before eating according to my fitness watch. It is blue then. Once I eat or if my blood sugar level goes up I go into the yellow range. So actually eating and digesting add little stress energy to the body. Interesting
grains, vegetables, fruit, sugar, corn syrup. I lost my fat when I went Carnivore eating 24 eggs a day
Yes ,everyone is dropping like flies around me ...NOT!!
High fructose corn syrup
It’s simple. Ultra processed food; refined sugar, refined carbs, chemically addictive snacks and drinks. No exercise of any kind. In my house I’ve eliminated as much sugar as possible.
... and refined fat. Why are people still leaving out fat's effect on insulin?
I love this guy!
It's merely excess caloric consumption. People have tremendous difficulty admitting they eat too much tasty foods.
Omg, Wow 😲
NIH Truth
WOW 😮
Absolutely epic interwiev.
Dr Lustig is so gifted to communicate his findings.
His struggle to share has been going on for decades now.
In the future, he will be seen as those who warned us against tobacco.
Is it true that the spikes in glucose are what damages our health
Everyone is sick and obese? Not me. (Maintaining significant weight loss for years now via exercise & limiting calories.)
C’mon, get over yourself. I’m 58 years old and can plainly see how many people are obese when I’m out and about compared to just 1” years ago. This is not about YOU, it’s about how the overlords are purposely contaminating our foods to purposely get people addicted and sick to increase the use of pharmaceuticals. But good for you!
My AHA! Moment, I used to binge on fruit, even when I knew it was not good on a low carbohydrate diet, this obviously was my alcohol substitute. I never knew that fruit was digested by liver exactly the same as alcohol. Obviously fructose addiction while believing that fresh fruit was a healthy food.
Fresh fruits are healthy.
Fruit today is gmo candy. You get better nutrition and less sugar from a snickers then a orange. But I wouldn't eat either.
@@ernestjohnson1807 🤣🤣🤣
Everything in moderation is okay. Including alcohol. And so is exercise 😂
@@ernestjohnson1807
And orange juice is even worse. There’s no fiber in that
Why ??
There is 2 kinds of people when it comes to food.
There are those that just eat enough to stay alive. These people really aren't feeling the hunger in the mornings, noon and evenings.
Then there is those that never miss a meal like me except I've never adjusted the amount I eat per meal.
Now I'm in my 70's and still eat like I'm in my 20's. Winter time makes me hungry even more.
Grandkids visiting we usually have sweets and snacks on hand for them .
I enjoy a couple large bowls of chili with cheese and a full tube of crackers 😋 ...
Most people wouldn't consider such a meal.
Breakfast 🥞🍳 ☕, 6 large thick hotcakes a couple eggs and 3 sausage patties. Yummy 😋
Not everyone
And to think my mother fed me sugar water instead of milk.
Get on with it
500 calories a day was too much? That's just 21 calories per hour to run the heart, lungs, rebuilding cells, etc. Seems hard to believe.
I don't find it hard to believe. I had Hypothyroidism. Got to the point I was hardly eating anything at all and had diahorea all day. I still kept gaining weight. Lots of weight.
Thank heavens those days are behind me.
@@eviejade6320, I relistened to the video and heard that all these kids had hypothylomic (sp?) obesity. Seems odd that treatment for brain tumors would cause this in everyone, but it basically means that they all had a special condition that doesn't apply to many people in society or apply to "why everyone is sick & obese today".
@jacksonmississippi True, the headline is a bit misleading. But I think what he was trying to get across is that high fructose corn syrup is in everything nowadays and it's causing insulin resistance. It wasn't hardly in foods before the 1970's and it's causing massive weight gain. I was diagnosed with insulin resistance 3 years ago, but I reversed it. I reversed it by not eating in between meals. Years ago ( at least in my country, Australia) they were pushing that you had to eat every 3 hours to lose weight and keep your metabolism going. That's not good as it keeps your insulin high. Some people have breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and dessert. That keeps insulin running and insulin is fattening. I have Breakfast, lunch and dinner now and it reversed that insulin resistance I got from taking the 3 hour advice.
He was saying something about the kids getting sick that led him to eventually come to this conclusion on why supposedly "everyone" is getting sick and obese. I myself believe that fast food advertisements doesn't help the situation either. I wont even be thinking of junk food and on comes some advertisement for the latest junk and then I want it. That isn't helping people. Not to mention a Macdonalds on every corner you turn. In the 1980's there was only 1 Macdonalds in my area. Now there is at least 6, on top of all the others out there. Pizza hut, Taco bell, Kentucky fried Chicken, all around the corner from me and i drive past them daily and luckily mostly ignore them. Things have certainly changed over the years and lead to alot of weight issues for people.
I don't know how I ended up here watching this. I was binge watching videos on the dangers of dairy!
@@eviejade6320,
"... videos on the dangers of dairy... "
Did you watch any of Dr. Ken Berry's ("KenDBerryMD") on that subject? (You can play most of his videos with "Playback speed" set to "1.25x" to save time and not miss anything. )
@@ArcoZakusOnly 1.25? I push the limit so I can binge watch as much as possible, usually starting at 2.00 and working my way down if needed. Where I run into problems is with accents different from mine and with videos that have music in the background.
Can I still eat lots of apples? Or too much fructose??
He said fruit in whole form is fine because the fiber protects us
Gluttony and sloth. Eating too much and sitting on the couch. I'm 68 and overweight. I couldn't see my willy. At the beginning of the month, I am eating less and exercising. I hope to lose one pound a week. Gluttony and sloth, indeed...
Would the loss of the L hormone be tied to trauma, as well? Could it be suppressed? Research seems to show that morbidly obese adults have had childhood or adolescent trauma.
Even for a small kid, 500 calories isn’t even enough to run their vital organs for 24 hours. If they ate 500 calories per day for 30 days and they GAINED, then someone was feeding these kids behind the researcher’s back.
Look up all of Dr. Brays research. I can't find anything linking to this 500 calorie a day instance. I think the guy in the video must be a charlatan. All of Dr. Brays research says less calories = weight loss
Yep it’s 100% bullshit. Doesn’t pass sniff test.
The comments, as usual, are full of “experts” who didn’t listen to Dr. Lustig.
Also, its best not to indulge in any medical experiments!
