While sugar is easy to spot in candy, soft drinks and ice cream, it also hides out in foods you might not expect -- including peanut butter, pasta sauce and even bologna! Robert Lustig decodes confusing labels and sugar's many aliases to help determine just how much of that sweet carbohydrate makes its way into our diets.

Wowwww
Thank you for your work! Lol l was too lazy to read all of them yet you wrote all of them!
You are the hero we need
Thank you so much! This was really helpful!
Me: slowly puts down candy
Lol
😂
In Canada, high fructose corn syrup is called glucose-fructose.
Ok wtf
this bothers me as a canadian.
Yep. In Eu too
Ophelia Thorson Should be called poison
Spiro Nestos no one asked for your opinion mate
That Wilhelm scream at 3:47

AaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAYEAOH
In other words, the mandatory food labels are written in cryptic code and unless we have the secret decoder ring, we'll never really know what we're eating.
Except that they do actually include the number of grams of sugar in a product.
BaadBoy's Playhouse Well, we can take time to learn how to read them and what exactly each of the things are. My fifth grade teacher taught us how to read nutrition labels and then she taught us what each thing meant. She explained carbs to us, fiber, the different types of fats and all that stuff to us. I knew how to generally read the labels before then but I didn't know exactly what it meant. So if other schools aren't doing this already, they should teach us how to read the labels. That way we are being an advocate for our own health!
@@griffingreenberg1922 except there are different types of sugar and you aren't guaranteed to have them all added up for you on the table...
@@fuchsia02 good luck decoding chemical names
@@jeffjests2764 I google the ones I don’t know but I’ve gotten pretty familiar with them. If it looks really complicated, I won’t buy the product
USA is the only country I've been in where non-processed oat, just regular oat, is twice as expensive as it's sugary kind. And so forth. Really messed up.
It costs more to eat healthy. Whole Foods Market and other healthy stores sell healthy foods but it's ridiculously priced.
It is absurd and you consumers should know that it is. Anyone who tells you that something that stores as good as oat should cost more after it's been through a long process of taste adders and shit is lying. It is impossible. You are being fooled.
superhund14 We're being cheated but not fooled. Americans know that companies have absurd practices but fighting against them is not easy. One company typically owns 10-25 different brands and it's hard to tell who you're fighting and who's your ally.
BaadBoy's Playhouse maybe. But there should be a big opportunity for independent growers to make money from selling just plain old oat and stuff, for normal prices. And you consumers should not buy that processed shit like sugaraddled cereals etc.
superhund14 they do this so they get more money
I noticed this doing my dietary changes. It seemed like most of the grocery story disappeared and my purchasing options dwindled. Then I discovered some awesome new foods and I'm glad I made the changes I did.
can you please share the names of the awesome food you discovered?
@@fjm01 The comment was from 8 yrs ago. I wonder if the person stuck to their new diet and how it impacted them.
@@keerthi3086 i wish he did!
"Sweet" video lol
This comment would've had thousands of likes if this were released 2 or more recent years ago. You hav earned a like.
I am LOL MAN and I heard lol so i am here!
XD Lmoa
Er, instead of looking at the ingredients, just look at the nutrition. Grams of sugar is right there.
It astounds me that people are not understanding this.
European labels have this, US ones sometimes don't
US labels ALWAYS do, by law, unless you bought the product as part of a bulk package, in which case the bulk package has the nutrition information on it.
Sometimes, companies can lie
Companies can and do lie all the time, but only about things that are in their best interest to lie about. If you lie on nutrition facts, where regulatory agencies like FDA and USDA can easily discover your lie and demand that you pull all of your products (at enormous cost to the offending company) and correct the labels (as well as fine you lots of money for deceiving customers), you are committing a very stupid and obvious crime. In fact, food products can't even go to market before regulators have had a chance to verify the information on these labels, so companies would have to change these labels after the fact and hope that no one notices the change on, in the case of some products, millions and millions of units. Even greedy companies wouldn't do this intentionally, as it's incredibly risky and the benefit is really pretty minimal (most people don't read nutrition labels anyway, so lying on them only lets you trick a small number of people). This is very basic information, you can read more about how this works online really easily (www.fda.gov/Food/GuidanceRegulation/GuidanceDocumentsRegulatoryInformation/LabelingNutrition/default.htm).
"Plant based" meat alternatives have loads of hidden sugar and refined oils. I've been a vegetarian for 20+ years and have noticed that it's become far worst over the last 4 years. Quite difficult to avoid.
as a vegan i try to eat mostly “whole foods” and as little of the processed foods as i can. for me, foods like vegan nuggets are a treat in the same category as icecream and chips and should only be enjoyed once in a while to stay healthy
It should be noted that any plant products you eat will naturally contain sugar. Plants produce sugar as a byproduct of photosynthesis, so if you're eating plant products such as a salad, you're eating sugar. As the sugar is naturally occurring this isn't necessarily a bad thing, and your body needs sugar for energy anyways. But it's important to know how much of the sugar in plant-based meat comes from the plants or from manufacturers adding it.
you mean vegan meat that made of tofu and spices?
Difficult to avoid? Here's how: buy a bag of dried beans that has only one ingredient: beans. Pick and wash and soak overnight. Cook the next day with real paprika, real peppers, real onions, real garlic, and a side of brown rice, with a nice fresh salad that you sprinkle with your own bottle of olive oil and a squirt of lemon and apple cider vinegar, and enjoy the palate delight that real food is. You know exactly what's in it because you put it there. So simple and tasty. The possibilities are endless and you don't need that bs vegan meat to enjoy real vegetarian food.
A couple details here for your health:
Glucose is brain food, it's what every carbohydrate eventually breaks down to in your body. Glucose is also destroyed by stomach acid and absorbed very quickly. Your body works HARD to keep your blood free of sugars by producing insulin, but over time, this can damage your cells, making them insulin resistant (diabetes). When sugar is absorbed quickly, and insulin is produced to clear it, you have a short burst of energy usually followed by a crash. This can also influence moods.
Mostly this is about timing. The longer it takes the sugar to get into your bloodstream, the lower the insulin level needed to clear it out. Simple carbohydrates absorb faster than complex carbohydrates, but all carbohydrates are forms of sugar.
As your insulin level rises, when the sugar is too much for your body to metabolise out, your body responds by storing some of that extra carbohydrate as fat. This can quickly lead to obesity. A good rule of thumb is to start reducing the number of simple AND complex carbohydrates in your diet, emphasizing complex when you have to. This means paying attention to labels. Skipping the sandwich, opting for lower starch vegetables and meats with an occasional piece of fruit as a main diet. This means vegetables at every single meal, lean meats at most meals. A pitfall people tend to fall into is desserts and breads. You can have a slice of bread (a single serving) once a week with little to no damage, or a sugary treat after a high fiber meal once or twice a month. Having an everyday "little treat" is physically VERY damaging, and should be avoided. This is a guideline for life, not a diet to get thin for the summer then go back to eating crap and wonder why you balloon up.
Everyone read this
Excellent recipe for ketoacidosis!
Just screen shotted this! Believe it!! 🤜🏻
That's ketosis for you folks. Thumbs up 👍👍
1 piece of bread and a can of coke a month is kinda extreme. Unrealistic for ordinary person
56 nicknames for sugar! Feels like high school.
#health
Yep right in front of our eyes !
lustig's research and presentations are gaining traction... i love it!
I particularly enjoyed the Wilhelm scream at the end.
I scrolled to the bottom to find a person who also heard it!
It has many different names which aren't listed on the nutrition label, but are cleverly on the ingredients label. While product labels list total sugar content, manufacturers are not required to say whether that total includes added sugar, which makes it difficult to know how much of the total comes from added sugar and how much is naturally occurring in ingredients such as fruit or milk.
Chemically speaking, it's not "all the same".
Physically speaking, everything is all the same.
Philosophically speaking, everything is both all the same and not at all the same.
Clinically speaking, you get diabetes anyways
jurasically speaking, roarrrrrr rawghhhrrrrr roarrrr
Spanishically speaking, no son todos iguales.
drink only water...
eat only your home cook food,
never eat canned stuff, never consume processed food.
there u go.
No thanks
no they are saying you shouldent eat SO much sugar, sugar can be good for you in a normal quantity, but in a large quantity is can be unhealthy
Yeah, like that was strict enough
Only water canned tuna sir
never eat food. got it.
excellent! No words to describe! Congratulations Dr. Robert Lusting
who ever made this is awesome and I want to thank you. I am going to use this in my health coaching!
Everyone else is talking about sugar, and I'm over here like "did no one else think she was really loud."
U just probably had high volume on it
Excellent video. Thank you for making this one.
This answered my questions about the fructose in fruit and how it is different from other sources of fructose. Thank you!
Awesome animation and lesson well taken.
Watching while eating cookies with energy drink.
Great information, simply put! Thanks.
I’m glad to see that Robert Lustig made it to a TED-Ed spot.
Great animation and explanation
3:28 Even my kitchen sink has no sugar in it? Awesome!
Then I can eat that with no worries.
(The tip on not drinking sugary drinks is probably the most important one by the way! You can save lots of unnecesary calories simply by drinking plain water.)
yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah but coolaid taste better soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Me encantó el video, muy educativo y entretenido! Y esa música de fondo...como que la azúcar es una rock star jajaja
Your lesson is great and diction is excellent as well
chemical teaching, nutrition facts at the same time, love it
Love the Wilhelm scream at the end there^^ nice touch. ;)
Thanking you for stating that fruit does not overload the liver because of the fiber! Beautiful
Wasn't expecting a Wilhelm scream in a TED-Ed video
Great video!
Hello. Thank you for the video. Can you please give me link to find other names of sugar?
excellent video
*Ted-Ed talks about all the sugar types*
Me: ehh, ima stick to just calling it “sugar”
"Sugar is playing hide and seek with me." That line really got me!
Who else heard the Wilhelm Scream (and reference) at the end? 🙋🏻🙋🏻 ...Hiding in plain sight... lol
Good job TED-Ed. Good job. 😁
i dont it. Can't you just LOOK at the labels and tell if they have sugar or not. Sugar isnt hiding in plain sight, its just sitting there minding it's own business.
Don't add fruits to the list of things that doesn't contain sugar.. Apples contains an average of 23 grams of sugar. That's a LOT!
Rewatch 2:46, as you completely missed their point about fruit and sugar
Mystro256 Still… Fruits contain more rapid sugars than anything you can eat in your day… This video is very wrong on many things… I am pretty sure the people who did this video are not educated in biology and chemistry…
SymbolX except that completely misses the point of the entire video and what it's trying to get across.... If you're actually trying to say fruits arn't healthy, you are nuts. Ya they have sugar, but we also absolutely need sugar to survive. Carbs is where we get most of the sugar in our diets, but if you eat nothing but Carbs, it can be really harsh on your system, leading to an increased risk of diabetes. Some Sugar (glucose and fructose) aren't bad for you at all outside of huge amounts. Sucrous, Maltose, Maltodextrose, high fructose Corn Syrup, and many more are bad due to the processes our body has to go through to break it down, as well as the interaction those sugars can have with the bacteria in our bodies ( for example, sucrose is directly involved in the development of Biofilms in your mouth, which are the cause of cavities).
Science can do a great many things, but our modifications of food are not a very good application. Sugars produced chemically, that our bodies inevitable can't be used to, can cause some serious problems. Try to eat more natural foods, as they are more likely to be healthy.... unless they are genetically modified, as most foods are xD... its hard to win
porkinitup210 I know what sugars are all about… I have studied in biology & organic chemistry in CÉGEP…
I think you are trying to interpret what we are saying… Don't try to see what it could mean, but what we actually said. What we said is formally and technically true.
per 100 grams?
Apples vary a lot in size.
Nice video, I never knew Sugar was disguised with so many names.
This is why you are best off cooking your own food... Premade and processed foods have so much added crap in them that they turn seemingly healthy foods into unhealthy foods.
Good video! :)
Robert Lustig sure has a different voice than in "Sugar: the bitter truth"
Any meat you buy (in USA) that isn't a basic cut, has added sugar in it. Anything that is process, even a little, has sugar. Even then, good luck finding a hamsteak that doesn't have extra sugar. Sausages, scrapple, any canned meat, meat patties, ground meats... all have added sugar. Some brands of jerky have more sugar than it does meat. Found all this out when I flirted with Keto a few years ago - Every meat I found had to be crossed off the list.
Yep, same in Australia.
thank you 😊 it’s very interesting 🧐
Fantástico
Thx
am I the only one who heard the sugar cube do the meme scream after being flicked away at the end?
Trying to wean off of sugar is extremely difficult. Worth it
i like your videos
they are amazing
Evaporated cane juice has got to be the funniest sugar name.
Great video! Dat sound effect in the end, though... =D
A well placed Wilhelm Scream for the flying sugar cube.
MrVlonk that's what it's called? I've heard it in so many places, thanks for the info!
POV:I have to watch this for a health project that’s due tomorrow 💀
So if you Juice the fruit so that you don't absorb the fiber, is the sugar just as bad for your liver as anything else?
and remember! In the nutrition facts, it’s PER SERVING
Thank you! This is so important. Before fifth grade, I thought the nutrition labels were the grams for the whole box or whatever. Thank God our teacher taught us that it's per serving! I have been much more cautious since then.
Fu Fu Bomyu Yup it could be like 3g of sugar but each serving size could be like small
@@fuchsia02 No offence, but your grammar...
@@whycantihaveaproperusernam9384 I fixed it, it was only two mistakes lol
I love the Heimlich scream at 3:48
The Wilhelm scream... classic
ขอบคุณครับสำหรับการบรรยายไทย
omg i tought the title was Sugar: Hiding in plain sight - Robert Lusting
2:19 the difference between glucose and fructose ia the spelling .~.
3:13 the Chinese on the ship means big sugar or a lot of sugar
So I can eat sugar if I also eat fiber?
3:18 they made it sound like there is not sugar in fruits, they should have worded that part differently.
I smiled back at the fruits when they smiled
And then they frowned
Thank god in Mexico we got mandatory labels that state when a product has excess of sugar.
And Cartels
“Florida crystals” is totally a jar I need next to my coffee pot
Nice Wilhelm scream at the end there.
can u explain why apples turn brown when u leve them out and u have already bit the apple??? p.s. love your videos!!!!!
Also glucose plus fructose equals sucrose (AKA table sugar).
Sugar is also highly addicitive which is very difficult to overcome. But if you can discipline yourself to stop the addiction, in a short time you can break the habit and greatly improve your health. For me it was soda, fruit juices, gatorade, pastries, candy, breads, etc. For drinks, I replaced with sparkling lemon water. For the other things, I used whole fruits and nuts. I like cashew, peasnuts, and almonds. Anything is better than candy and pastries. Before long, the addiction was broken. I lost weight, feel better, and I am pretty sure my other health indicators have improved - like insulin resistance.
But what about sugar substitutes like Splenda?
Water, legumes, whole grains, berries, fruits, cruciferous vegetables, greens, seeds, nuts, herbs and spices are the most healthy food in this planet.
!!! Welp, guess i have to pass on dessert!
25g of added sugar? Or total sugar?
Just add a Wilhelm's Scream at the end and suddenly everything is great again.
A little common sense goes a long way.
American food does have more sugar in it. Beans are sweet, ribs are sweet, condiments are sweet. It must be a carry over from the time when a single sugar lump or loaf would have to last several months so that people tended to over compensate from lean times.
I happen to consume quite a bit of sugar but not in the foods I eat so it doesn't bother me or make me fat. I also take all of the supplements that I need.
Interesting
I have come across a couple of labels of products sold in the u.s. and boy, are they cryptic. In the u.e. labels are much easier to read, for instance you get the nutrients for 100 gr in every product ( and not "serving", which can vary), so you can immediately compare two labels.
what's yellow sugar? is it yellow or something?
SUPER OMG
Love❤
Artificial or low-calorie sweeteners are an alternative to sugar, but they must be treated carefully. They can help you cut calories, but they don't avoid the insulin spike that accompanies sweet foods (so they don't help avoid diabetes) and if you don't drink them with food or something filling, your body soon realizes it hasn't gained any calories, so it triggers your hunger response. If you're not prepared for it, you'll end up eating more calories. However, if used correctly, they can be an effective tool in losing weight or avoiding sugar.
Sugar = Illuminati
One thing that was said is no longer true - sugar is now being added to raw meat as well. I no longer eat meat, but I was looking for turkey to cook for my dogs, when I looked at the label and was shocked to see that sugar was being added to the raw meet.
Hi, John, Lustig's the Galileo of modern nutrition. I didn't find your claim on a brief check. I'm not taking that turkey product as proof that sugar is added to meat routinely. Would you tell me more of what's up? Thanks. I teach nutrition in schools, so you have the right guy to convince!
Maybe do a video about msg (in food like doritos/cheetos)?
there is nothing wrong with msg though
"That Sugar Film" is related. One teaspoon of sugar is 4 grams.
Since there is no law requiring food products to indicate the percentage of daily requirement for sugar, they list the number of grams on the label.
So if a drink has 12 grams of sugar, that would be like adding 3 teaspoons of sugar to the drink.
Robert Lustig is literally daddy and I'm disappointed I couldn't see his face in this video:(
One large coke at McDonalds is approximately 80%of your recommended daily intake.
2.5?
Dat Wilhelm scream.
Good job FDA for not finding nothing wrong with a lot of sugar (which is proven to have major negative health effects) but a lot wrong with marijuana (which is proven to have little to no negative health effects)!
Actually the OMS recomandations are of 10%, 5% is preferable in some therapeutic cases but for a healthy person the recommanded portion of sugar is about 100g a day.
Cool, I didn't know the difference between glucose and fructose, the more you know.
I would really not want to eat some of the products mentioned if the sugar was removed. For me, moderation is what I practice.
you don't have to worry about that, just don't eat every two seconds and exercise and you are fine
Just watch "That Sugar Film" an eye opener movie
How could 10 people dislike this? Are they creationists? Do they believe that suger science is blasphemy ?
it's because of a few idiots like SymbolX and MagmaMusen and it's spelled "sugar"
Because a lot of their "facts" are just completely wrong in this video. Like...badly wrong.
