I love you.
You have changed my life. I'm a 56-year old woman and I'm slowly making these changes in my life and it's like I'm 30 again. I'm truly gaining my life back. THANK YOU, Docotr ROger.
sugar addictions truly ruin people's lives you're doing the good work. i'm only 14 but i'm watching theses videos instead of ruining my brain with social media and vaping like the rest of my generation does. i think i'll be better off than them in the long run. thanks for making these videos accessible for free to those of us who actually care about our health.
Nice
My mom through the 60’s and 70’s never feed us chips or sugary sodas, I think I’ll call her up and tell her I love her!
Yeah bro do it
Absolutely do that

We couldn't afford processed foods when I was young. We snacked on fruit from our orchard, chickens from our yard, veggies from our garden. We were RICH in nutritious food. Didn't realize this until I was an adult. Thanks, Mom and Dad!
My grandmother used to say, "You're digging your grave, with your teeth!"
I've never heard truer words, in my life.
Dizziemiss Lizzie so true! Your grandmother still alive?
She's a very smart lady!
Words of wisdom!
What an awesome way of putting it. Your grandma is an unusually sharp and deep-thinking lady. Bless her dear heart, so full of wisdom, and bless you, my dear, for being so helpful and generous in sharing that timeless wisdom.
Mind blown 🤯
My grandmother refused to buy soda. She always called it poison. She let us have it while visiting if we bought it but wouldn't allow it at the dinner table. She was health conscious! I truly thought she would live forever. Lived to age 98. 😍
God bless her soul !
But you don't know if that is why she lived as long as she did. That is just something you assume. People who eat unhealthy, smoke all their lives, and do nothing but sit in front of the TV also live to be 98.
@@grantofat6438 I'll bet on healthy food...non processed, etc
@@grantofat6438 YES! I watched something not long ago where a guy was over 100 and he smoked a cigar everyday. Another lady over 100 said her secret to long living was Dr Pepper everyday. The truth is GENETICS plays a HUGE role in how long you live. What the "health" industry is doing is just another ploy to try and control everything we do.
@@grantofat6438 those are exceptions. En masse do people who do that live that long?
My mother insisted on feeding us home cooked meals with salad at dinner every night. All meat bought directly from local butchers and almost nothing out of a box. I'm still reaping the benefits at 51. Thanks, Mom.
If your profile picture is any indication, it's impossible to believe that You're 51! Way to go mom!
Funny to believe that this is somehow uncommon!
@@eemotion yes, indeed. more like 55+. I know you mean it other way round, but wtf is your comparator? The people around me end of 40s / start of 50s look way younger that OP ...
Watch carnivore diet, Anthony chaffee, ken Berry md, Shawn baker. You have to stop eating fruit, vegetables, carbs
@@paratrooper73 why should I stop eating everything plant related? My body responds well to my diet. As I am certain your body my respond well to yours. There is no one size fits all, not even over a lifetime. A person's diet should reflect the needs of their body at any given time. I have found a good path for my body and when it doesn't serve me, I change it.
I stopped eating sugar and drinking soda the weekend before Thanksgiving 2020. I started out at 212.8 pounds. I am down to 188.2 pounds, and I feel great. My doctor told me my blood sugar was at the level to be classified as a type 2 diabetic. That did it. I knew I had to change my diet. Sugar was my drug of choice. I have had issues with joint pain for years. I have arthritis, and being overweight for years, and the sugar made it worse. After stopping eating sugar, and losing the weight, my joints have stopped hurting. My mind is clear. I was having issues concentrating. Now I don't. I work 12 hour shifts. I used to feel wiped out by the end of my shift. Now I don't. My wife and I have started keto. She has gone from 235 down to 217. Her joint pain has stopped too. Sugar is poison. It's also addictive. It's literally killing people. Something must be done. Processed foods are formulated to be addictive. Eating healthy is expensive. Eating unhealthy is cheap. That's why poor people are overweight more than people who aren't poor. This has to change. Our society is being destroyed by sugar addiction. All kids should watch this video, as well as adults. Money is all that matters to the powers that be. Our health means nothing. Take control of your health people. It can be done. DO IT!!!!!
congratulations on making changes. I hope that you are able to continue on this path. It is inspiring that the joint pain can stop by cutting sugar out. I have just been diagnosed with arthritis at 52 and have terrible pain in the knees. Now I am inspired that I can live pain free again if I can resist the cravings for sugar. thank you for giving more details. Do you think cutting sugar helped more or doing keto was more helpful?
@@christineklem2099 I stopped eating sugar, and drinking soda before I got on the keto diet. My wife decided to do keto, so I am doing it with her. I think stopping the sugar made the most difference. But it's easier to lose weight if you're doing it with someone, so the keto is helping both of us achieve our goals. Good luck. If I can do it, you can too.
@@eddielasowsky7777 sugar turns to fat for storage. This isn't rocket science.

@@eddielasowsky7777 no...it's the carbs...as in bread, pastries, grains, AND sugar!
My sister and I have a couple common responses to us asking for snacks we laugh about our Mom saying now. We’d say “I’m hungry” reply “ have an apple” “I don’t want an apple” reply “you’re not very hungry then.” Or “I’m thirsty” reply “have some water” “I don’t want water” reply “ you’re not very thirsty then.” Lol.

@@RATM77777 Especially now in the present era
No because this is pure propaganda and lies. I'll show you why this man can't be trusted and hopefully you open your eyes to see other people that are deceiving you.
First he says that we are all getting fatter this is not true I'm not fatter I know a lot of people that are not fat, contrary to what the stereotype says most Americans are not obese.
Explain why six year olds are obese because they're not going outside and playing like they used to. And their family gives them unhealthy stuff all the time like sodas and candy and chips and stuff. Because unhealthy stuff is cheaper than heathy stuff
He also says that it is not the fault of the obese people it they are victims. This is not true even if what he was saying was true. You would still be the fault, even if he was right. because they're drinking all these sodas and everyone knows it bad for them and will make the fat.
But he says what he says because he wants to elicit your emotions not your logic and obese people like being the victims. He also uses emotionally charged words like telling you how sugar is poison or that these things horrendous, or the Coca-Cola conspiracy. Or how he says everyone is getting bigger which is simply not true. Of course none of these people are eating less or exercising, but I'm sure that's just a coincidence.
The real issue is that we don't understand the idea that you don't need to be full all time and we live too solitary a lifestyle. Also their metabolism.
I’m a millennial with a short attention span and a passion for instant gratification. I have never seen a presentation as engaging as this one.
knowing your problems is the only way you can address them, kudos to you o wise one
dude u r fine its your teachers who are useless as shit who cant make an engaging lecture.
I think dr lustig helps a lot!
"Geriatric" millenial here. I planned on just listening to it for 10 min. Listened to the whole thing in one sitting at 11 at night.
Smart ppl
I was diagnosed with diabetes in 2020. Stopped all sugar and alcohol and started walking every day. I am now 58 pounds lighter and feel so much better.
thats a shame, if you went to whole foods no animal products your diabetes could have been completely reversed.
Well done!
You do not need to shop at Wholefoods to eat healthy. But eating a mostly plant based diet and avoiding processed foods (and sugar) will make anyone healthier.
Good for you😉
@5piles that's bs. We're designed to eat animal products
@@trueblueclue 🤣
This man is brilliant. We need more doctors in this world like him.
I'm halfway through and I'm agreeing.
But wait. His whole theory is based on sugar in juicy juice and the sugar. Uhhh. There is none in the WIC approved kind. Yes they have to get the unsweetened. It will not allow the sugar one to ring up. Fact check please
@@judylloyd5626 do I know you?
@@chaosdweller no don’t think so. And so you know I think sugar is to blame for most sickness. I try to avoid it at all cost. But fair and respectful go both ways. Juicy juice should get high marks for no sugar in the WIC approved juice Now tell me about all the arsenic in apple juice and everything else that our babies consume. I’m 67 I am not an educator. I have no degrees what I have is experience and the need to know. I research a lot about sugar as I am a diabetic. If you want to send a message that sugar is bad go for it but please please don’t bang juicy juice.
yes very very brilliant! and yes, Sugar is Addicting!
Now this is what makes TH-cam great.
sadly, this video even with 8 millions is so underrated
Yup not a PhD but for years now I have been rejecting mainstream products containing unnecessary sugar. The category of peanut butter is the chief offender in my book. Why the hell do we buy these poisonous perversions of old timey classics.
@rj zander talking as if your ketones are on point
@@paystarbuzzy So true about peanut butter. I always grind mine up at the store and it's the best. These corporations have been adding hydrogenated oils and recently I've even seen natural flavors
@@paystarbuzzy you Can buypeanut butter at health bro dried and grind up peanuts w no oil or sugar. Strangely when refrigerated it is spreadable and last long time and no chemical to keep oil from separating that ain't poison either. Taste good too.
The alcohol connection is one that really needs to be brought to the public's attention. Sugar is alcohol that doesn't make you drunk. Alcohol is rotten sugar that does. Saying it this way could blow a lot of minds.
+A Closer Look sugar feeds EVERY cell in the human body EVERY CELL in our body is fed by sugar but you can't name one cell that feeds on alcohol to say sugar is alcohol is no different than saying sugar is not the body's primary fuel source.
bud385
Actually fructose feeds practically nothing it's glucose that is used by our organs. And ethanol is just rotten fructose, as Dr. Lustig brilliantly illustrates.
+A Closer Look our bodies use fructose to make glucose to be burned as fuel for every cell & why did the brilliant Dr. Lustig not inform all that were listening in on that lecture that fructose is a simple sugar it has NO TIME to rot anywhere simple sugars are assimilated INSTANTLY by our bodies WITHOUT THE NEED FOR A VAPOR OF ONE DROP of insulin produced in order to metabolize? well of course he didn't tell anyone that because for starters he doesn't know what simple sugars are he probably correlates HIIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP with fructose in fruit because most people who think they know what they're talking about do what people need to understand is our body converts EVERYTHING we eat into sugar to fuel our bodies so our body is bad for us if Dr. Lustig is correct "good thing he has NO IDEA"
bud385
No he covers the fruit thing. The idea is that in nature fructose is found in plants with very high fiber density. The fiber inhibits the absorption of the fructose to a healthy rate. Refining the fructose without the fiber is what causes the negative feedback loop. All explained right here in this video you didn't watch.
+A Closer Look why wouldn't I have watched the video? oh yeah that's right because you said I didn't look Dr. Lustig doesn't KNOW JACK SQUAT when it comes to health & nutrition
he's an endocrinologist you know how many seconds in school they spend on health & nutrition?
the same amount of seconds the titanic floated yesterday.
The recommendation to stop eating fat was a criminal conspiracy.
I just came back from a trip to Oaxaca where food is outstanding, real food. I ate A LOT, however, I lost weight, and experienced a sense of deep well being. I came back to the "civilized" world and I went to do some groceries, but left the store empty handed because it is evident all the food is so tainted I can hardly call it food at all. No wonder why there's not just an epidemic of obesity and CVD, but of lack of energy, depression, and overall malaise.
The medical system and big pharma making big bucks
How well S.T. Coleridge spoke of Oaxaca in "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner": 'Water, water, every where / Ne any drop to drink'! And Big Coke's hostage-hold on Hispanics is metastatic...even in the U.S.!
I had that experience, too. I was in Mexico for 6 months, ate whatever I wanted and lost 40 lbs. I was shocked. Lol
I never realized how lucky i am to have a parents who's really strict when it comes to soft drinks and fast foods
Kevin your parents love you
I cut all refined sugars out of my diet and eat a 100% whole/clean diet as of 4 months ago and it's like I have found the fountain of youth. I haven't counted calories or gone hungry at all in these last 4 months and I have lost 25 pounds (20 more to go) and my adult acne has cleared up. No big secret, I just make all my own food and I don't buy anything that has more than 3 ingredients in it (all of which I have to be able to pronounce).
Exactly! If you can't pronounce it don't get it lol just buy food that isn't in colorful bags. Stay in the meat and produce section and you should be good to go :)
kito mad yep, produce and meat section only is a good way to go for sure.
when you cant pronounce ingredients' names, it doesnt mean they're bad for you. You probably just had a bad education.
fjkzd J.
I have an undergraduate with a minor in bio-chem; my education is just fine. Ingredients with long chemically derived names are most certainly bad for you. Don't take my word for it though, go do some research.
Well, many of them are, but not all. It is a good rule of thumb, though, even if it is not 100% true. Natriumcarboxymethylcellulose, despite its ridiculous name, is completely safe. But the quality in your argument still holds, as it is almost impossible for a person to know all of these chemicals by heart, so it is better to avoid them, just to stay safe.
Knowing I’m overweight because of a chemical imbalance in my brain rather than because I’m weak and lazy is such a revelation. So much easier to avoid a food that you know is going to chemically make you more hungry than just avoiding it because it’s high in calories. Found this video 15 days into keto, and I’m so much less hungry already. I’m down 33lbs……but knowing these sugars trick my brain makes them far less appealing…..before on diets I felt I was depriving myself of delicious foods…..knowing I’m depriving myself of delicious poison makes it far easier.
Fantastic way to look at this! Great share.
good luck with your excuses
Best of luck to you! 🤞🤞🤞
@@navodar5174 Excuses for being 33lbs lighter?
Oh my goodness I'm going to have to give up soda wish me luck guys 🤞
When I was a boy I was basically kept downstairs and stuffed full of chips, pop, and candy. I didn't know any better, now I have serious weight problems. I understand now. Feeding kids sugar for years should be considered child abuse.
Agreed. I abused my kids by not letting then have candy or sodas.
Everyday I understand more and more how blessed I am to have parents that raised me against corn syrup
my grandparents in the 1960s kept saying sodas were the devil's work. Back then, we thought they were nuts. Now? I think they were visionaries.
It's not just corn syrup. Sugar is in probably 99% of all processed foods, fast foods, all kinds of condiments and sauces.
And how do you control sugar intake, or even corn syrup when you go out to eat??? Sugar is useless, actually dangerous and it takes many forms.
Good luck.

Same here! I reversed my type 2 diabetes without any medication. My previous hba1c was normal. Not even prediabetic. I first learned about sugar after I read Dr Jason Fung’s book The Diabetes Code! These people truly save lives!
Growing up I hated my dad for a strict “ no soft drink “ rule . Now realising he saved my life 😭❤️
"The Number ONE responsibility of a government is to protect its citizenry."
Yeah...Right.
We, Americans are up against very powerful lobbyists. The sugar lobby has been profiting off of our suffering for decades! Think of all the cavities, the diabetes and heart disease and for decades, never heard one word of warning...until this lecture hit us in the face with the truth. The reality of sugars deadliness isnt even taught in school.
Very powerful corporate lobbyists care only about their profits.
You mean the corporations interest?!
Yeah protect us from our money. So they must have all of it asap
If you are waiting for the government to protect you, you will die prematurely. If you love yourself, protect yourself and forget the government.

I stopped eating sweet things at nineteen because I noticed it triggered my migraines. Best decision i have ever made

@zephyr while I agree that fruit has natural sugars ...she is talking about sugars that are chemically made..ie fructose
@@block36079 no I did not. Although I didn't like sweet fruits anyway like melons and apples and pears. I have an aversion to things that taste sweet or smell of sugar because of the migraines that followed it. Most fruits that I like are more sour than sweet like berries and yellow plums
@@glyde747 fruit has fructose however unlike an ice cream a kiwi never gave me headaches
glyde747 fructose isn’t chemically made, and we’re both guessing at this point about what this person cut out of their diet.
I once stopped eating sugar for a 21 days, at first it was a hard thing for me, then my brain, my body lost weight and it felt so good, no sadness, no low stamina. I mean, my brain remembered things that I did when I was 2 years old.

@@ah69495 Removed all white (processed) sugar from his diet, I'm guessing.
@@ah69495 I slowly removed more and more food from my diet that had added sugars. I sleep better, I have more mental clarity, and I have more energy. I just did a full blood panel in my yearly checkup and the doctor said my hormones, cholesterol, and other tests looked so good that my doctor told me to keep doing what I am doing.
I was binge watching Andrew Huberman’s TH-cam channel during this insanely long 2-month lockdown that happened accidentally in Shanghai. In one of his videos he mentioned Robert Lustig and I traced all the way to this video. This video and a bunch of others scared the hell out of me since basically all my family members have some kind of metabolic syndrome (Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, high uric acid, hypertension) and not all of them are obese. Now I finally know that root cause of these metabolic diseases is the increase in percentage of sugar and processed food intake. Immediately after watching this video, I got rid of all my processed food and sugar in my diet. (which is easy during the lockdown but very hard after the lockdown, because sucrose is ingrained in the Shanghainese food culture) It’s been around 1 week and I noticed a dramatic improvement in my teeth. I no longer develop calculus on my teeth even if I reduced my frequency of brushing to once a day. And I feel much better psychologically. Thank you for all that information. I wish I have watched this video when I was in middle school. (Because that was the time for me to start eating more sugar and processed food.) I always knew sugar and processed food are bad, that’s what our teachers told us, but I never knew they were bad to this extent.
Haha I know what it feels like. I went down the rabbit hole 4 months ago. Look up Jason Fung if you haven't already. I hope your still keeping away from sugar. I felt like I had a terminal illness 4 months ago. Today I'm happy.
(I'm still watching this video) and I definitely want to throw out all the ready-to-eat crap in my house (even the prepackaged "healthy" ones)
I'm just a little lost on.... what can I eat?
(Just saw seaspiracy and cowspiracy and am done with the mindblowing global meat industry)
Never been much of a cook, I live alone so I don't put much effort into it.
But this is definitely a wake up call (even though the video is 12 years old!)
Any tips on good and easy recipes? 😊
@@tammv2306 I hate the global meat industry but that just led me to buy my food from a local farm instead. I can actually see the chickens and cows hanging out in the pasture, so I at least know the animals aren't being abused, and getting something much closer to a natural diet. It's a lot more expensive but I have a feeling the time of cheap meat will soon be over, what with the whole "eat zee bugs" signaling and "global supply chain problems", and the US government apparently now paying the big farming companies to NOT grow food, etc etc.
Do you like chicken soup? Just boil a whole chicken, with some coarsely chopped onion, celery, and carrots, and a tablespoon of thyme. You can also add a head of garlic if that's your thing. Bring up to a high boil for about 10 minutes, then lower to a simmer for 1-2 hours (I like 2 hours best). That gives you a bunch of good broth, chicken, and cooked vegetables, which I would recommend separating and freezing in lots of small containers. It's easy to thaw it by boiling the broth and dropping in the other stuff, so you don't need to use the microwave. That can take care of your dinner for about a week. (Soup and sandwiches!)
@@tammv2306 anything out of the garden, nothing that is processed & Fiber rich foods especially. No FRUCTOSE!

I watched this video a second time and listened carefully. Because of being on a low carb Keto and studying nutrition, I was able to understand better this time. Since then, I reached my goal weight and reversed a fatty liver and pancreas. Thank you, again!

how did the kid turn out?
Don't buy anything with a label on it....we should all just buy things that ARE the thing, nothing added.
13 years later and this lecture is still excellent.
I just graduated from Dietetics and Nutrition and I was not taught about how bad fructose is not until I took my internship in a Dialysis center and I had to do my research and then I was able to watch many presentations about liver and kidney diseases and the prevalence of obesity, it came always to high fructose diets. It really pains me to see parents feeding their children juice, which have very little fruit. I watched this even though a 6 years old. I loved it. Thank you. And I wish my biochemistry class was this fun 😂 Thank you!!!

Watch out: Not too much water - drink only to thirst.
See Prof Tim Noakes' Book WATERLOGGED, and listen to Dr.Eric Berg's lecture about DIABETES INSIPIDUS - frequent urination can be caused by too much fluid intake - blocking the urinary retention hormone. If the water moves fast through kidneys, minerals cannot be taken up, and are flushed out; proper filtration of waste products is also hampered.
Here's my notes for the talk:
There are many different types of sugars, but the ones you need to know about are: Fructose, Glucose, Sucrose, Lactose
Leptin is a chemical that your body releases that reduces hunger.
Ghrelin is a chemical that your body releases that increases hunger.
Sucrose:
- This is what cane sugar and beet sugar consists of.
- Sucrose is a combination of Glucose + Fructose.
-- Your liver will quickly break the bond between Glucose and Fructose.
-- So each sucrose molecule results in your body getting 1 Fructose molecule (which is bad for you) and 1 Glucose molecule.
-- So to understand the effects of sucrose (e.g. cane sugar), you need to understand what Fructose and Glucose do.
-- So essentially there is almost no difference, chemically at least, between eating Sucrose (e.g. cane sugar) and High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS).
- Coca-cola is 10.5% Sucrose/HFCS.
High Fructose Corn Syrup:
- A mix of Fructose and Glucose molecules, each of which your body must then process.
Glucose:
- Suppose you consume 120 calories of Glucose (e.g. 2 slices of white bread).
-- 80 - 90% of this Glucose will be used by all of the organs in the body. A small part of it will be turned into fat.
--- In contrast, Fructose is only processed by the liver with a large part of it being turned into fat.
-- Every cell in your body can use Glucose. Every bacteria in your body can use Glucose. "Every living thing on the face of the Earth can use Glucose".
-- Liver cells release insulin which signals to your brain "stop eating".
-- Thus Glucose consumption reduces hunger.
Fructose:
- Fructose (and consequently sucrose) is a poison.
- Fructose is processed almost exclusively by your liver (in contrast to Glucose, which can be used by any cell of your body).
- Fructose does NOT suppress Ghrelin (a "hunger hormone")
- "Acute Fructose does not stimulate insulin (or leptin) release.
-- "If insulin doesn't go up then leptin doesn't go up, and if leptin doesn't go up then your brain doesn't see that you ate something."
- Fructose causes metabolic syndrome.
- Fructose stimulates your liver cells to create new fat. Glucose does not do this.
- Fructose causes insulin resistance in liver cells.
-- Fructose causes more new fat to be created and more energy to be turned directly into fat.
-- Fructose causes the pancreas to work harder and release more insulin.
--- Higher insulin (if too high) cause the brain to not notice leptin as much as it otherwise would (this prevents hunger from being reduced).
Fiber:
- Fiber is (de facto) an essential nutrient.
-- The government not listing fiber as an essential nutrient allows high fiber foods to be exported.
- Causes your brain to receive the satiety signal sooner.
- Causes an increase in Short Chain Fatty acids, which help to suppresses insulin (thereby reducing hunger).
- "Reduces rate of intestinal carbohydrate absorption, reducing insulin."
-- The bacteria in your gut consume the excess carbohydrates, which ultimately makes you pass gas.
- Although fruit has sugar in it (Sucrose and Fructose), it has a lot more fiber than it has sugar so you don't gain nearly as much weight from eating fruit as you would from consuming the same amount of sugar in candy or a drink.
Lactose:
- Lactose is a sugar (not very sweet though).
- In a milk that does not contain added sugar or chocolate, the sugar content of the milk (on the nutritional label) measures lactose (and not sucrose or fructose).
-- So even though such milk has a large amount of sugar on its nutritional label, the milk doesn't make you fat like glucose or sucrose would.
Recommendations for losing weight:
- Get rid of sugared water
-- Only water and milk.
- Eat all carbohydrates with FIBER.
- Wait 20 minutes before a second portion.
Exercise:
- Improves skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity, which causes insulin to go down. (This reduces hunger).
- Causes TCA cycle to run faster thereby "burning off" the chemicals that are used to produce fat.
- Exercise causes weight loss primarily by increasing your metabolism and NOT by directly burning fat
EDIT: (Added November 2021 - info. from Wikipedia articles "Sucrose", "Fructose", and "Fructolysis")
- About 10% of the calories contained in the Western diet are supplied by fructose (approximately 55 g/day).
- Fructose has 95% the caloric value of sucrose by weight.
- "Fructose may provide **the bulk** of the carbohydrate directed toward de novo triglyceride synthesis (triglycerides are the main constituents of body fat in humans) in humans." [in short, "the bulk" of brand new fat that you gain comes from fuctose. So most of the fat currently on your body originated from eating fructose/sucrose.]
---- Under one percent of ingested fructose is directly converted to plasma triglycerides [but much more is INdirectely converted to triglycerides]. 29% - 54% of fructose is converted in liver to glucose, and about a quarter of fructose is converted to lactate. 15% - 18% is converted to glycogen. Glucose and lactate are then used normally as energy to fuel cells all over the body.
- Unlike glucose, fructose dose not cause insulin to be secreted, and can in fact lower circulating insulin.
- Fructose is almost entirely metabolized in the liver in humans, where it is directed toward replenishment of liver glycogen and triglyceride synthesis. In addition to the liver, fructose is metabolized in intestine, testis, kidney, skeletal muscle, fat tissue and brain, but it is not transported into cells via insulin-sensitive pathways
- "Sucrose is a disaccharide made up of 50% glucose and 50% fructose"
My own conclusion: So when you eat something that on the label says "16g of added sugar", then you may as well assume that a large percentage of that (at least a few grams) will be made into brand new fat stored somewhere in your body.
But sugar isn't bad for you as long as it's consumed within a fruit, maple syrup or honey.
@@crand20033 Oh yes it is. Sugar is sugar and todays GMO fruit is nothing like the original fruit it came from. Look at pictures of water melon from 50 years ago and compare it to today. Todays fruit is basically candy and should be a very occasion treat, in season.
Sounds good but not all facts.
Appreciate the notes. Easy to understand
Cool no one cares
This’s truly a great lecture! Sad that compared to 13 years ago the consumption of added sugar has further increased…
When I was young 60s and 70s I had serious problems dizziness problems with thinking and a bad temper. My mom fed us coke and cookies, cake etc. My mom met another mom who's kid had the same problems as I. This mom took her kid to a Dr in Chicago who at the time was the only Dr around that recognized the term hypoglycemia. He gave an 8 hr glucose tolerance test. So my mom took me to see him and found that I had hypoglycemia. It saved my life. Sugar was killing me. Since hypoglycemia was discovered it released many people from mental hospitals. If your brain doesn't have glucose or blood sugar it won't function properly. Hypoglycemia is a condition where the body produces too much insulin that takes all sugar and gets rid of it leaving you with no brain sugar.
Billionaire George Weston whose bakery family business later grew to include British Sugar, Selfridges and Fortnum & Mason is quoted as saying, "People will eat horseshit if there's enough icing on it". As long as US government pays out sugar subsidies and price supports and takes in sugar lobby money, Big Sugar will continue to push their addictive unhealthy product.

This is the only promoted, TH-cam suggested video on my feed that has ever been useful. What a wonderful lecture and I am getting this after a decade of its release!

By the way on a side note, I got a cheese factory, Pepsi and McDelivery add during this presentation. Capitalism might be great on the short run, but we need regulation, it’s a funny world now where the Rich starve themselves and the poor are getting obese…

As a nutritionist this lecture is gold
as a student nutritionist I'm horrified that my professors are still teaching us to have our patients cut fat and calories
@@jessicabosworth214 whoa
It seems like cereal just keeps getting sweeter. I buy organic multigrain cereal non gmo, and can hardly swallow the stuff it is so sweet. The only cereal for breakfast is to make your own steel cut oats and put some flax and and half an apple, add some other healthy grains you like. The same for muffins. Mine are the best, as I do the same with those, and use apples instead of sugar with grains, and the less sugar the better. They are driving us to use the doctors for diabetes and amputations., hypertension etc. Why no salt shakers on tables in restaurants, and sugar packets, where you can add what one likes and not have it overly sweetened and salted for you. America is really a one size fits all. No particular place is different in this respect. I am retired RN, and have degree in health education. My efforts to improve the system was met with hostility because the colleagues were lazy and indulgent, and didn't like to make waves. Accept sex and money for good reports while the providers learned nothing and did not become better providers. And besides it makes the others look bad. The newspaper did a 100% audit on my files for my facilities and wrote a glowing report about how I followed up and helped providers adn how they praised how I made them better. Never got a kudos from my government bosses that I helped improve the image of government workers. No one died in my homes from fires caused by no batteries in smoke detectors, but there were in a couple of those where the head state nurse was in charge. Nothing rewarded for trying to improve and educate like this Doctor gets nasty reviews for sharing his zealous and intelligent drive to help people learn to eat for better health and longer life. No kudos for people like this. Well I say KUDOS, as you are exemplary in your effort to share your vast knowledge and present this free educational video that I bet gave several people an improved life and a longer one.
As a nutritionist, you shouldn't need it. (-_-)
I wish he would write a book about sugar withdrawal and the process of it. I have been having withdrawal symptoms for over a month now. Slowly getting better but it has been one of the hardest things I have ever had to do.
I've been a sugar addict since early childhood. I feel constantly thirsty and foggy, plus have had the hardcore flu 3 times or more in 7 mos off sugar. I've lost weight, but don't feel quite "Right" just yet. I have hope I'll get better, and the longer I'm off the junk the less I want to go through this again!
Omg, me too! Sugar withdrawl is bad! It’s been a couple months and still going thru it!😢
Hard? Quit eating any carbs. None. 3 days. Your instinct to aquire carbs will subside. Don't feed the wolf.
@@nothingworksworks3511what about the c-vac did u get the jab, why should you have flu so many times..?

I suggest you look at what other nutrients you may be lacking. Or look at other ways of generating the dopamine you were getting from sugar.

Once you feel the benefit of the sugar free life, sugar becomes really unappealing. Although I will eat some good quality honey every now and then but that doesnt have the same moreish effect as refined sugars. Keep going!
Please tell me how you accomplished such a victory?
March 6 2022, I stopped eating sugar, cereals, breads and stop drinking juice, I lost 7 pounds in one month. I have been exercising for more than decade and I have never experienced so much energy, just eating more fat and proteins. I am more focused and can even think better. I am stronger and it is fun to eat for me. He is right!!!
I just now saw this and I think it might change my life. I have joint pain and after reading testimonials from persons who have commented as well as the seminar, I will start on a new path to health.
I was suffering from joint pain for the last several years. I was convinced it was an 'age thing'. I have cleared it up almost entirely by sticking to a gluten free diet. It only took a few days to notice a difference. I'm about a month into the diet now, and I don't think I'll ever eat gluten containing foods again, such are the health benefits for me.
Do it!! I gave it up about a month ago. Chronic pain, greatly diminished!! I need spine surgery, otherwise, I'd probably have none!
Huge improvement!!
Absolutely worth it!
Hence the 'organic' craze in the last several years. You just need to eat food that occur naturally, not manufactured in a food processing plant (if the elites didn't burn it down). Eat turmeric...
I gave up soda years ago, even before learning how bad HFCS is. If I go out to eat, I usually just order water as my drink. To all those trying to lose weight, I tell you, one step at a time. Do one thing until it becomes habit before adding another thing. You got this!

Same here, I'm beginning to cut down on those foods.
Cutting "tasty bars" like Snickers and "sweet drinks" by 95% from my ration let me lose a ridiculous amount of weight and I wasn't even physically active.
Eating ~15-20 eggs per week, doing swimming (or something else intensive) will do marvels for health.
You're ruining your thyroid function and will rebound HARD and put all the weight back on in a few months to a year. When that happens, try eliminating dietary fat (especially PUFA) and smashing in as much fruit as you can stomach. Watch the weight drop off, your mood increase - and long-term :)
That's because your body is in survival mode. Carbs are an absolutely vital part of the energy equation. In fact it is the most important part.
@@hlessiavedon carbs are the least important because they are everywhere, and you can get energy from both fat and protein. It's absolutely impossible to not have enough carbs nowadays
@@Slider93 really? Then tell me why the Japanese are the healthiest people (only 3.6% obesity rate vs the United States 36%) yet their diet is 60% carbs, 20% protein, and 20% fats. I'll tell you why, because we evolved to have a diet that is mostly carbs, often in the form of fruits, in which the dominant sugar is fructose.
@@hlessiavedon uh how is that relevant? My point is that carbs are pretty much irrelevant and you can cut them massively as any food you eat which is rich in fat or protein will supply you with enough carbs on the side. Protein is truly the king of weight loss and that is the hardest part. Theoretically if you have enough protein and low carbs, there won't be a problem at all
Less Sugar = more sweet, it might sound strange but your taste gets used to the amount of Sugar, if you eat less less sweet things will taste more sweet, so you profit twice, health wise and sweet taste wise.
Yep, you take out sweet processed foods and your taste buds become more sensitive to fruit, fruit tastes absolute amazing when you become more sensitive to it again.
And if you were to try some of the 'treats' they called 'sweet' back in the 1920s-1960s, you would probably find them bland or even bitter! Just as human have grown accustomed to way too much sugar over the decades, we can wean ourselves off of it, and when you do, things that seem 'just right' will start to taste too sweet, so as to render them unpalatable. Working on keto combined with intermittent fasting. Still winding up to it (with about 60-75% success), but may start with a 24-72 hour clear-liquids fast just to detoxify. Wish me well!!
I thought it was just me but you're right. Like dark chocolate tasted much better after I cut out sugar for a while.
So true , my wife made me a meal with sweet potatoes and it tasted corrupt with sugar. But I knew it was because I don't eat sweet potatoes a lot.
This is true when bbn I cut my sugar a apple taste delicious!
Great video. This was 10 years ago and in 2019 we still have the same problems if not worse.
I work in health care. I tirelessly give information on this health crisis. The biggest problem is unmanaged type 2 diabetes which is the most dangerous diabetes. Doctors have resorted to telling people "look. We don't know when your kidneys will failbut we know they will indeed fail. Your body CANNOT process you daily intake of sugar. Because your pancreas cannot process all of the sugar you are taking in on a daily basis. It is pouring into your urine. The sugar in your urine is ONE THOUSAND. This news is never well received or believed until it is too late.
@@tonyadavillier9311 most doctors don't have a clue either. It's not their fault, it's just how they were taught and most are closed minded. It was almost to late for me. I am "type 2 diabetic". I wasn't taking It very seriously at all. My blood glucose was constantly in the 300's, my A1C was at 12.2, and my doctor wanted to put me on insulin. This was back on November of 2018. I refused to take the insulin, got on Keto and intermittent fasting. Fast forward to today I went from 260 pounds to 199 so far, my A1C went from 12.2 to 5.9 and working on getting it lower, my blood glucose is between 95 and 120, and I have so much energy its ridiculous. My family practitioner was very close minded and totally against the keto diet and fasting telling me how dangerous it is. She was hell bent on putting me on insulin. We even had a bit of a testy exchange. I haven't changed my primary health care physician because so far I have proven her wrong and I'm enjoying it lol.

"The fats are going down, the sugar is going up and we're all getting sick." Words of wisdom
@Jamie Rivet have you ever been to a grocery store? there is no fat in grocery stores it's all low fat (twice the sugar but that's on the back) products, most people don't eat fast food(which use omega 6 vegetable oils) all the time and you can get fat just eating the stuff from the grocery store despite the fact it's low fat and all the oils that remain are omega 6 hydrogenated vegetable oils - so there is barely any good fat in the food we eat today the only way to get it is to buy the most expensive oils or butter or an avocado whereas safflower oils are in every product and we need good fat for optimal function we need fat soluble vitamins (A,D,E,K) and omega 3's we need fat to rebuild tissue, and fat can also be used as a fuel source(including body fat) and that fuel source goes for way longer and doesn't affect your blood sugars making your energy way more stable and can be used in cells which already have an inhibited glucose metabolism like in Alzheimers patients or with Insulin Resistance/ type 2 diabetes
@Jamie Rivet Funny how the article you provide about fat causing diabetes, yet the first comment on the article is someone who followed the writer's recommendations for 3 years and still has a high blood glucose level.
Agreed but it is the sugar going up not any changes in fat consumption that is changing people's health for the worse. Don't get taken in by people who say otherwise who will try to say it is cutting down the fat as well so fat must be good for you which is nonsense!
High Cholesterol is a reaction to inflammation, it is the source of the inflammation that needs to be controlled, sugar is a known inflammatory.@Jamie Rivet

I just caught the point at 58:50 where he explains how high sugar causes high blood pressure due to Uric Acid blocking the creation of Nitric Oxide. For the guys out there, reduced Nitric Oxide can ALSO lead to erectile dysfunction so cut out the sugar!
Nitric oxide is key! I should keep this in mind.
Keep in mind that there are also things outside of cutting sugar that can increase Nitric Oxide production. My personal go-to right now is L-citruline which is converted efficiently in the body to both L-Arginine and Nitric Oxide. Another note is that you need at least 3-6 grams for it to be effective or 8 grams if your taking Citrulline malate.
@@collectiveconscious2670 That's very helpful, thank you very much. For reasons that you might guess, I'm very interested in increasing my nitric oxide production and utilization as a man. This info is very welcome, thanks a lot.
You forgot the important point
Nitric oxide clears blocks in arteries and keep them clean
I mean, seriously, some of the claims this guy has made are hilarious in their stupidity. The US spread sugar all over the world post-WWII? Freaking retarded.
I'm convinced that sugar also causes acne. At age 26, I'd had acne for twelve years. I decided to try giving up sugar (sucrose, fructose) for a while for health reasons. Three days after I stopped eating any sugar, my acne completely dried up (for the first time in twelve years). Not sure if it would work for others, but it did for me.
Well it's sure more profitable to sell skin care products to you, eating healthy is free...
I'm also having skin issues and I'll try not to eat any sugar from now on, at least for a while. It also reminded me of how climate change works. The globe can handle forest fires and volcano eruptions without any problems, but a massive, everyday emission of carbon dioxide for centuries will leave its marks, just like the human body can handle a certain dosis of fructose or ethanol, but constant everyday consumption will ruin our metabolism.
Sugar especially sodas will show up in your face and skin. Sugar is poisonous.
Thanks for sharing
Patrick that is called insulin resistance.
Your body wasn’t allowing sugar to get into the cells. So you had extra sugar, glucose floating around in your system.
It WILL work for everybody. Know 2 other people who experienced the exact same thing. In women sugar causes PCOS which can lead to full blown infertility (looking at you, Whitney Way Thore).
WOW.. I can't believe I just watched the whole 1.5 hours of this, right after waking up in the morning before doing anything else. I mean everybody knows that sugar is bad for you, but his explanation is at another level..

Very motivating!
Almost completly ditched added sugar for years now. Love watching this once in a while!
29 years of age when I've finally had enough of turning a blind eye to what I eat. Let's go health is wealth is knowledge and power 🙏
This man is living proof we all need second opinions. Anything that cannot stand the test of being questioned should be rejected.
Exactly, and this is why we need a coalition of people representing the mass population of all humanity in the world to have as their primary objective to do what is right, and good for the maintenance, benefit, prosperity, and well-being of all life on this planet, instead placing all of our trust into any single organization or one human that has a title of the president or king and or queen to determining whether we live or die. No one person should have such authority.
We all should also take critical thinking lessons so we can spot bullshit when it falls out of the retarded mouths of morons like Robert Lustig.
I lost 50 lbs after quitting sugar earlier this year. I hope I continue to get healthier.
Great! How's it going now?
You didn't actually quit sugar by the way. You quit added sugar.
@Aman Saraf It's still going well. Thanks for asking.
This is OUTSTANDING from start to finish, Thank you so much for this EYE OPENING.
The most eye-opening lecture in my life.
The greatest part of quitting sugar is that you don’t crave anything’s sweet after a meal ! I feel like a super human being able to fight off my sugar addiction. No more migraines before period, appetite is low and more energy
I agree. It's been 6 days I am doing 16:8 fasting, I don't feel urge to eat sweets after meal or late night. After couple days you feel full after eating little as your body get use to meal quantity and timing.
is that one of those super smart people ? a mense ?
It’s a proper way to say mensural cycle, period, aunt Flo, the monthly. Whatever you call it! Lol
I occasionally still do, but I have been able to satisfy it with fruit, fresh or dried, and the occasional hot cocoa made with dates, unsweetened cocoa, and almond milk. During the summer, frozen bananas and other fresh fruit blended with coconut milk hits the spot.

I'm saving this so that when I need it for someone, it can help them understand as much as it did me. This was time well spent.

So nice presentation. I would add just one more thing that leads to child obesity. It is low physical activity. I have observed the life of children in the US since time I arrived here. A lot of sweets, uncontrolled junk food (even at schools), and no physical activity. Most kids are transported by parents in cars everywhere. When I pick up my son and we walk back home, people are confused and scared (how it is possible to walk with 6-years old guy).
Stopped drinking soda about 3years ago. Was not easy, so addicted! Best thing I ever did!
Congratulations
