- Professor Lustig covered a wide range of topics in his talk. He began by blending politics and science, introducing agnotology, the study of science and ignorance, particularly its relevance in medicine and public health. He dove into the complexities of issues like obesity, dissecting the interplay between personal responsibility and the biochemical influences of our daily diet.
Lustig challenged conventional wisdom about obesity, asserting that it's not merely a matter of lack of control but a consequence of the food we consume. He explored the first law of thermodynamics, emphasizing the simple equation of calories in and calories out. The notion that all calories are equal and their impact on willpower became a focal point.
The professor raised thought-provoking questions about the responsibility individuals bear for becoming obese. He debunked common beliefs, insisting that everything we think we know about obesity is flawed. Lustig then shifted to a broader perspective, examining the intriguing decline in body temperature over the past 150 years and its connection to energy expenditure.
Addressing the global epidemic of obesity, Lustig highlighted its pervasive presence across age groups and countries. He challenged the oversimplified idea that obesity is solely about calorie intake, introducing the concept of metabolic syndrome affecting both obese and non-obese individuals.
He further discussed the intricate relationship between visceral and subcutaneous fat, Lustig explored the behavioral and biochemical factors at play. He posed crucial questions about the underlying causes of gluttony and sloth, pondering whether something toxic in our environment, food, or water contributes to these issues.
The talk expanded further into the realm of obesogens, reactive oxygen species, and the damaging effects of fructose and glucose on mitochondria. Professor Lustig provided a comprehensive exploration of these interconnected topics, unraveling the complexities of personal responsibility, public health, and the intricate biochemical web influencing our well-being.

More gold from Dr. Robert Lustig!
Just posted a new podcast with Rob Lustig focused on:
Vitamin D, overdose or under-dose, Ketogenic Diets & Personal Responsibility
th-cam.com/video/YDShRaMVZBA/w-d-xo.html
All good stuff. I m British, I was a lard arse. I drove everywhere, I drank beer and ate food wrapped in plastic and ate 'sweeties'. I went to work in Japan. I walked everywhere, gave up the bear, cereals and bread, sweeties and stopped eating rubbish in plastic. Came back to Britain 40 pounds lighter able to walk up mountains. Good job Japanese people- my new way gives me joy. :)
How long did you stay in Japan 🇯🇵? It’s baffling to me that Japanese people eat fish rice and other things and not gain weight? Maybe 🤔 they eat whole foods that aren’t gmo.
My new favorite Brit is Lee Copus (aka Kent Carnivore) He can teach you about proper human diet in your homeland.
@@christophermason3275 eating properly is this simply...if you cannot make it, or buy like you did make it, then walk away. You are not hungry. Nobody is putting HFC in their bagel. Nor grinding the flour to either. Crack an egg or eat an avocado. The rest is marketing.
Next he will be advising cigarettes
@@christophermason3275and they eat MUCH smaller portions.
Dr. Robert Lustig is right. After stopping all food with High Fructose Corn Syrup, other words, all high processed food. no seed oils, Now my food is whole natural food, My A1C is now 5.4, no longer diabetic type 2, lost 40 pounds, With real food you are not hungry all the time.
If I were first lady, my mission would be to get everybody listening to this brilliant man!
You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink.
@@KAT-dg6el It's true, but I would at least want them to have all of the information. Some people have no idea.
I am 68 years old, When growing up as teen in 60s, Very unusual to see obese children are teens. Type 2 diabetes, almost unheard of in anybody. Now it is epidemic in whole population. I found Dr. Robert Lustig last July, after dx, type 2 diabetic, My Doctor wanted me to loose 20 pounds to see if it would lower my A1C, already have multiple other health issues and taking large amount of medications. My Doctor wanted me to stop eating all ultra processed foods, Talked with me about hidden sugar, called High Fructose Corn Syrup hid in all these processed foods. That is how I found Dr. Robert Lustig and his studies, After complete change in how I buy groceries, and what I eat, I have lost 40 pounds, I am no longer Type 2 diabetic, my doctor was able to cut my medication far high blood pressure in half, Able to cut lasix far CHF in half. I was having almost really bad pain in my legs everyday, it is gone. Real life changer far me.
@@lisaharward2572 Try selling people on these ideas. Here is what happens: "You're not a doctor", "Everything is bad for you (sarcastically)", "You need sugar for energy", "They wouldn't sell it if it were really bad for you", and "I don't care what Dr. so-and-so says, my Doctor told me I need to be on statins to lower my cholesterol". Good luck.
So as first lady you would want everyone to be obese like this man🤔
Dr. Robert Lustig is a passionate professor doctor scientist who is on a mission to educate the world on metabolic health and enlighten everyone who will listen about corporate and responsibility. More power to him and may God bless him more!
I beg to differ. Listen carefully to what he says. He's not just out to educate, which is great. He's advocating for political intervention. That's where he is wrong and dangerous. "Safe and effective" they claimed. It was neither.
When he says “Vaccination” and then says these need to be solved in a public health context because individuals cannot solve them for themselves.
I say NO to that.
Yep get off carbs. Which is simple if you stay RAW and SIMPLE. One can only eat so many potatoes raw. Chew so much cane. The problems come in with all the "processed" food coming from the cook houses. Literally a Drug Trade using processed food stuffs.
Dr. Lustig is honest, and his directness is obvious. We hope that he continues to give his lecturers to ordinary people to be healthy.. my personal experience with no no Sugar at all. I feel perfect. Good luck Mr. Lustig.. 👍 God bless you...
Congrats on getting clean from sugar!
Maybe one day Lustig will no longer be obese in his own plan😂
Oh don't feed trolls 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you Emery! Yes I'm clean , no sugar, no fructose
Is your other channel funny or equally bland? Intended for odd comments
My admiration for Lustig has greatly increased with this presentation. He is one of the relatively rare scientists who is willing to question his own long-held views and modify them when the science points in another direction. Bravo!
Brilliant presentation!
Glad you liked it!
Concur with Dr. B, PHD for life
I think you are overlooking the philosophical trap he has alluded to here. We all make choices and we value the freedom to make personal choices. With that comes the consequences of our choices. This is cold hard reality. Therein lies "personal responsibility". This concept is the entire predicate of the US Constitution despite it not being so stated. The idea that we don't have such responsibility of choice and need political intervention in lieu of, is how we end up with experimental vaccine mandates, lockdowns and absurd mask mandates. Be careful what you champion.
@@SilveradoShootingAcademy Whose freedom of choice was it to subject me and my family to Pthalates? I don't recall Dow Chemical, or their lobbyists, or my Congressional representatives asking me what my choice was. You speak of personal responsibility "predicated" in the Constitution, but you don't say a word about corporate responsibility. And you can't charge a corporation for a crime; you can only raise a civil complaint. At least the Covid vaccine was explained to me. The significance of "Paper or plastic?" or the truth of "better living through chemicals" was not.
@@SilveradoShootingAcademy You are missing the point! If you are lied to, therefore 'ignorant' of the actual facts of how metabolism works and environmental toxins in EVERY processed food personal choice is NOT the problem. Did you know that EVERY canned food has a plastic lining on the inside of the can? TOXIC. I ate exactly what the AMA/ADA told me to. I gained 100lbs over the past 20 years and became diabetic with severe metabolic health probs. WHY? Because The AMA/ADA told me to eat 11 servings of gains, breads, pasta, and fruits DAILY. I kept a food log for my Dr. I worked out. That is the point!!! I was not eating donuts. I was vegan. I now eat only meat (carnivore) and my metabolic health is vastly improving. I cured my diabetes in 9 months. The creation of these problems was definitely NOT my fault. It was driven primarily by falsified research that became 'belief' and recommendations taught in medical schools and given to all public messaging from AMA.. Obesity and cancer/metabolic disease skyrocketed when they began pushing 'low fat' high carb diets. Dr. Lustig is correct. I proved it for myself. My doctor flipped out when I refused to take insulin and converted to a Carnivore/Metabolic Health regimen. He is now 1000% on board.
Dr.Robert Lustig is the best professional doctor.
I ALSO NOTICED THE MINOR GUT HE HAS…..HE IS 67 BUT FOR A FOOD IS TOXIC GUY I WOULD EXPECT MORE OF A ROLE MODEL IN BODY COMPOSITION.
Too much steak 🥩 and beer😂
I am guessing nothing gets changed is because there is too much money/jobs to be lost in the food industry and big pharma. It looks like it is down to the individual to arm themselves with this knowledge and be disciplined with what they eat. The thing is, sugar doesn't kill you over night it takes years and decades so it's easy not to take it seriously.
A belief system can only be changed by replacing it with a different belief system.
I want to see Dr Lustig’s Alexethymia slides… and his lecture on topic!
Excellent presentation! Dr. Listing has changed my thinking, my eating, and my life.
I wish this lecture was longer. I could listen to Lustig all day long.
Very illuminating-and very sobering.
Never liked sugar - it actually makes me feel sick. Am the same weight now that I was when I was 20, 50 years ago. Eat mostly meat based, but also drink raw dairy and like wine with meals. My medical records are blank - have never been ill.
😊😅 Wow! My mom tried to keep cookies in the house at all times. Homemade, but still, lots of sugar. She and I each put on an excess 100 lbs. Dad, who she considered scrawny, gained 20 lbs. In 54 years of her cooking.
I weigh less. Used to eat tons of sugar.
With all these solid scientific evidence, the regulatory organizations must be sued in order to see changes.
Thank you so much Dr. Lustig. I am ok now without meds. More power to you and God bless
Thank you for your talk
Always a pleasure to listen to Dr. Lusting.👍
Thank You Dr. Lustig! I LOVE how your teaching and presentation has evolved. I understand the goal of changing beliefs and standards at the Population Health/Governmental/AMA/ADA level. BRAVO
Outstanding, Rob has changed many aspects of my life, health, and thinking.
Thank you for your work.
Thank you very much for this brilliant speech - this is the most insightful thing I've heard about this subject matter in decades. ❤❤❤
Exceptional presentation..Overwhelmed...Great effort, lots of work, empathy for the suffering, love for people...Thanks Doc..❤❤❤
Congratulations on your paper
(132 pages)!!!
78 yo addicted to YT since start...
My first education..going to follow and share..
Where can i find you?
You have given me hope
there are good v.s evil
What a briljant presentation!
Dr Lustig appears to have about a 40 lbs overweight gut bulge. Look at his waist where the suit coat parts. Thats packing some extra pounds. I wonder if he has metabolic syndrome all while lecturing about the dangers of it? I love the lecture and him in particular. I could listen all day but the gut speaks for itself.
I noticed that too. 🤷🏻♀️
To reduce the ROS stress for him and everybody interested: "Earthing"/ "Grounding" and Methylen blue. Check it out.

Dr. Rob, can use glucose godness Jessie's food order hacks
1) 1Tbs Venager with a big cup warm water wait 10-15 minutes eat veggies first
2) Eat fiber first small salad/ vegetables
3)protein/fat
4) carbs/fruit 20:17
This is fascinating video. I appreciate it very much. Problem is, when I think about to whom can I share this video among my friends, neighbors and co-workers, who among them will take the time to watch a one-hour video, and actually pay attention to Dr Lustig's presentation. Based on my past experience, they won't even watch the first 10 minutes. Shame. People need to know this information.
Shakespeare wrote "There is no darkness but ignorance".
This Doc is a GEM!!
Great, thank you! 💐
Thank you.
Awesome presentation❤
Dr. Robert Lustig best professor
I listen to Dr. Lustig’s interviews & podcasts as much as possible! His explanation of the possible negative iron/heme consequences of eating red meat, bears serious consideration, by us carnivores. His description of 7 sub cellular pathologies was instructive for understanding metabolic processes. His insights are astute, as well as informed. Thank you for informing us, even though you’ve retired from practice.
Good information delivered excellently. But glucose also causes glycation & increases ROS. If I may- Dr Lustig has a bit of deep subcutaneous/visceral fat- observable. He may need to reduce his whole fruit and other carbs intake: my observation.
Robert talks about obesity and how to reduce it. Looking at him in this video he appears to be very overweight
He can easily lose 20 pounds he eats no sugar
Last 3 weeks I gently trained *butter* to be my primary prey (over-simplified) 😅.
The goal was to train *metabolic* flexibility.
Typical for the TH-cam-Generation is to address the problem that we can see: e.g. Obesity.
The real *global* problem is metabolic inflexibility and the solution is to educate doctors - and everyone. Thank You Emery Pharma for doing both 👍 🙏 🕯️ 🦧 ♥️
So enjoy Dr. Lustig!!! Beyond the great stuff he presents, it is all about marrketing a product - that is what we humans fall into!
Judging by the comment section, there will be much difficulty with “ unlearning” the programmed tropes! When I taught research paper writing at the general education level, whenever a student proposed a health/medical topic, I would only approve it if they agreed to write it from both the individual and the public health perspectives. If anything drives changes to policy and regulation, it will be the unsustainable cost of medical treatments and loss of not only productivity of the workforce, but the rise in all-cause mortality of the workforce. Given the incredible political influence of corporations, it’s unpredictable when a tipping point will be reached…in the meantime, the drive for A.I. and robotics may very well be their hedge against the inevitable crisis. And yes, it is that despicable, when number crunching is about risk assessments for profit and loss
The First Law of Thermodynamics is about the equivalence of heat and thermodynamic work. The relevant law here is the Law of Conservation of Energy.
An obese person who has increased their weight by 100% have to heat a body twice as big. No wonder as we get heavier our average temperature goes down. Those on keto diet lose weight and keep it off despite any toxins in environment.
Double the mass, but proportionately less increase in surface area means that the internal organs are protected from the external cold by the blubber, and less heat is required in proportion to the mass. However, I think the hot tap (faucet in American) is largely to blame. If you have a constant supply of hot water for bathing (and also central heating) the body is not challenged to generate its own heat. By avoiding exposure to cold environments, we are losing the adaption to cope with them. The average body temperature can then drop, as avoidance of hypothermia is no longer a constant requirement of the body.
Lol.... if u listen to this overweight guy tell u about obesity, you are dumber than a bag of dicks
Hence, why the homeless didnt die enmasse from covid. @paulcampbell840
OMG am blown away by all this
Could I make a suggestion for why people's temperatures are dropping? In my own experience as a now 61yo UK male, when I was a child up until I left home at 17 my families home had 1 gas fire in the lounge, no heating in any other room.. As I've got older homes now have central heating, people now wear t-shirts in mid winter around the house..
I'm not a doctor or scientist I'm an engineer, could I suggest that as home's are now warm all year then your body is saying hey I don't need to keep my internal temperature the outside world is doing it for me...
This makes sense.. I wonder if now the energy costs are rocketing & people are being more careful, putting on jumpers etc if we’ll see people losing weight 🤷🏻♀️
Similar to my own view - also hot water on demand, and quilted coats remove the challenge to the body to generate heat even in that short dash outside.
I read an article years ago about air conditioning being a factor in weight gain. I dont remember the details but had something to do with messing with our bodies' natural heat conducting system.
Theorizing is great… but we have to remember: correlation is not causation!!😅😅😅
@@jossfangirlAlso, we move less when cooped up inside, where cool air is, in a heat wave. I remember a very hot summer, before my family home got air conditioners. Despite being designed for natural cross breezes when windows were open, and stairwell to second floor acted as a chimney to vent hottest air. But that summer my family spent much more time in our unfinished basement, where coolest air available settled.
Dear Dr. Lustig ❤, please continue, never stop educating us. We need you, your honesty, and TRUE SCIENCE facts in order to overcome this sickness epidemic in the whole world.
I just love listening to your videos and how well you explain everything in a simple language for everyone to understand who wants to learn.
God bless you, Sir. 🙏
I thank you dr lundi for all your information about food I know now you can eat any time in modern inaction right food take a smaller portion as long as I stay of starches like chips and potatoes and cut down in my bread and don't eat fruit eat some nuts and I can have a few pk crisps not everyday and eat 2 bowls of soup a week I am a Christian I a go church 3 days week I understand you I thank you so much my health feels much better now than before since your diet I thank you so much my health feels much better apart from my right leg thank you

Hopefully our next NOBEL PRIZE recipient ?!!!
Thanks to *all* Teachers that teach their heart out ❤!
With fundamentals thankfully learned in school ‘Sugar the bitter truth’ made me understand after watching it several times with pen and paper📝 that there is a DIFFERENCE:
Get hit by a car🚘 or a kiss💋.
Get hit by a receipt🧾 or a prize🏆.
Drink an orange soda🥤or eat an orange🍊.
Not everybody has yet been taught the difference:
Soda overwhelming the liver and the pancreas (and mitochondria!) with an Overdose of pure Glucose and Fructose.
An orange fruit has a sugar complex, fiber, some plant amino acids, different minerals & vitamins to produce ~antioxidant enzymes. For brevity it can’t hurt to *Thank You for your attention this far* 🙏
we hope so!
YESSSSSS!
A Nobel prize for obesity perhaps?
@@Bee-rr6vo I am guessing that was an informal nomination for Nobel prize in medicine.
This Doctor is not normal. Crazy. The Grand. Simply the best . I have his book metabólical. I would do Any think to talk to one of the best Doctors I have ever listen.
Great Great talk
Rob is a rockstar of his field.
I'd love to see him as US FDA chairman.
i wish there was a way to measure a persons metabolic state, its gotta be complex since we have different cell types but gotta,start somewhere.
If only we suggested in main stream what to eat and it caused you to eat less. Hmmm. what a concept. Is that the opposite of corruption?
Some might call it the proper human diet. Keep on Rob we love you. You get the credit for starting me and my family on the path to health. It's taken about a year to get righted in health. Knowing what to do. Sugar the bitter truth can get anyone going in the right direction. Start there then the rabbit hole awaits.
What does ge suggest to do about it then?
I got his book, even after all I know I still thinking diet and exercise why? Bec diet can also mean eat the right thing, I am in the best shape of my life, even for long periods of time without going to the gym, it’s the food!!!
56:00 WOW! An ad roughly every 2-3 minutes. I wonder if there are any connections?
What raises the risk of overweight and obesity?
Lack of physical activity. ...
Unhealthy eating behaviors. ...
Not getting enough good-quality sleep. ...
High amounts of stress. ...
Health conditions. ...
Genetics. ...
Medicines. ...
Your environment.
Maybe the most important information out there…
My god this is Fantastic
Informative presentation but did I miss something? Was his point that there’s something wrong but we have yet to figure out what?
He gets into the weeds quite a bit. But what I took from his presentation is that
- He used to think sugar (specifically fructose) was the primary driver of obesity and metabolic illness. Others think it's all carbohydrates. Still others think it's highly processed seed oils. And there's research indicating that environmental factors like exposure to BPA, PFAS, air pollution etc. also play a role.
- What ties these ideas together is that these factors increase oxidative stress in the body, leading to inflammation, fat deposition, insulin resistance, and various chronic illnesses.
- The way to fix this is not individual choices, but public health measures enacted on the government level. You can tell a person to cut added sugar from their diet (I did, it reversed my prediabetes and made me lose 40 kilos), but it's very difficult when most of the omnipresent processed food in Western societies contains added sugar. Also it's addictive. And many people live in food deserts where highly processed food is all you can get. Fresh food is more expensive and you need time to prepare it. And obesity in the rise in non-Western societies too, so it's not just the added sugar. Forever chemicals in the environment won't go anywhere until we ban their use and release into the environment. So individual choices play a role, but you're swimming against the current. It takes government intervention to reverse the current.
So if I'm understanding correctly, we are in a state of constant 'store fat for hibernation' from the our current diet.
I’m 157 pounds overweight and I’ll admit it I’m just lazy and want to eat I don’t really have anything else to do and I don’t blame anybody else with myself but if you want me to blame someone else hey I’m all for it
I like your humour but also I hope when you are ready you change to a mostly whole foods diet with some calorie restrictions or other diet of your choice.
I have already cut out junk food, fast food, sweets, soda, seed oils, hard liquor, tap water, etc long ago. It has made zero difference in my weight. I’m not obese but I’m always fighting the 10-15 lbs. The only thing that has ever worked for me is calorie counting. I lost weight on Weight Watchers and kept it off for several years until menopause hit. That’s a whole other subject. So for me, it is my own damn fault.
You are so lucky not to have underlying health disorders or fatty liver or chronic kidney disease… as long as you keep restricting your calories and never increase them, you will stay at your goal weight. The hormone change in menopause is a whole different animal. Insulin resistance drives the bus. Good luck with WW. My life long yo-yo dieting experience.
Well obviously Bob is a dem. I lost 40+ lbs in 7 months last year....by making way better diet changes and also by exercising. I don't blame ANYONE else on having been obese prior to that. It's absolutely personal responsibility.
Science is neither democrat nor republican. Obesogens play a role in the biochemistry of your body 😳
I presume you also object to the Constitution, right? After all, the Preamble does have the audacity to claim that our government is supposed to *"promote the general welfare"* of the people. Terrible, ain't it? Oh, and let's not forget it also says the government is supposed to *"insure domestic tranquility,"* yet all I ever hear from government officials on the right is lies, accusations, etc. against anyone who has the temerity to disagree with them and against any idea that might actually promote the general welfare or insure domestic tranquility. What's up with that? Does all this negativity really make _you_ happy?
Prevailing diet recommendations from healthcare, and government agencies are also driving an unnatural consumption of sugars (and seed oils). It is following the guidelines that makes us sick.
Thank you. Great talk. A fan of Dr. L, but here he appears to be handling too many Target receipts, maybe even CVS receipts.
Yes we agree :-)
Was thinking something similar and wondered if anyone else had noticed.
Heck Yeh!
What are the chances that societal intervention will work.Based on historical information,the chances are slim.
It’s time for Dr. Lustig to go on Joe Rogan. It would be an amazing opportunity to get the msg, already broadly discussed on his show, a more ample audience
Kind of depressing. Is the only hope for humanity is to evolve to becoming an obesiogen resistant organism?
😂😂
Yes, stop eating so much. There is no need to be glutinous in the U.S.
Dr. Lusting is a phenomena. He is an outstanding doctor and researcher. However, he is Not perfect. My one disagreement is that we Most Certainly DO have free will. Now insulin is Not only a hormone that regulates blood sugar, but is also a hormone that results in fat storage, which I believe Dr. Lusting would agree. Most of the insulin released is the result of consuming carbohydrates (most especially refined carbohydrates). Proteins much less so, and fats, not at all. This is the principle cause of the obesity epidemic we are now experiencing. Many individuals (I would say a majority) have a craving for sweets. This desire / craving has a biochemical (probably also genetic) component to it divorced from behavior. However, and this is of utmost importance, each individual decides solely on his own (the FREE WILL COMPONENT) how he will behave (react) to this "sweet tooth" biological craving for sweets and the insulin released resulting in the fat storage hormone doing it's dastertedly deed.
Judging by the comment section, there will be much difficulty with “ unlearning” the programmed tropes!

no, the only hope for humanity is finally to start thinking.
Can someone send this to Lloyd Austin Secretary of Defense US and also Thomas Seyfried's lecture on cancer and sugar, and getting blood sugar: ketone ratio to at least 1, if not lower to kill his cancer... I am in Canada and over loaded... Presumably Mr. Austin wants to stay alive and is motivated to help the country...
what about Walter Kempner?
Just a first look at Dr. Lustig (not yet listened to his presentation) - he is pretty overweight. That's not a carnivore belly, that's more like a beer belly.
Dr. Lustig has said more that a few times he isn't against carnivore, though I don't recall him claiming he is one. And I have watched more than a few of his presentations. He is heavilly focused on exposing anti nutrients such as sugar, carb and UPF and how they impact metabolism and human physiology rather than trying to convince you to switch to any specific diet or lifestyle.
How did they know, what i know is wrong?
As long as the companies profiting from this and organizations backing them for financial kickbacks nothing won’t change. Only a huge class action law suits against them all would benefit true public health . Government and regulatory organizations are there for their own profit obviously or we wouldn’t be taking about these issues to begin with. Who are we kidding????
Losing large amounts of weight and keeping it off through anything but fasting is almost certainly doomed to failure. Some benefits of occasional extended fasting and lowering carbs in the diet: High blood pressure is lowered to normal levels very quickly while fasting. Fibrosis/scarring is reversed over time, including in the heart and lungs.
Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion plaques, growths and pathogens by the immune system. This will also remove spikes quicker, whether natural or unnatural in origin!
Blood clotting is lessened.
Blood sugar and insulin are lowered when fasting, reducing inflammation and allowing the immune bodies to move freely through the body.
Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy.
T cells and T reg cells are vital in fighting cancer, autoimmune disease and infections but as we age the thymus stops making as many of them. Fasting releases stem cells, which then can become new T cells. It also releases growth hormone, which regenerates the thymus itself!
Fasting restores NAD+ and increases nitric oxide release to open blood vessels.
Reflexes and short term memory are increased.
Your body recycles up to 1/3 of all immune bodies in a 72h fast, rejuvenating your entire immune system. This helps prevent the onset of new autoimmune conditions, which develop through a leaky gut and damaged immune system.
Fasts from 36-96 h increase metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release!
Fasting increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors and increases average telomere length in stem cell pools.
Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures.
Fasting restores your circadian rhythm to normal over time.
When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell required for viruses to replicate.
What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast but most teas and herbs are OK. Supplements and meds often break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many meds are dangerous to take while fasting.
Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building.
Fasting activates autophagy (literally self eating). This will cause cells to recycle damaged proteins and foreign matter such as viruses.
Lowering insulin via fasting virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body.
Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue!
The obese will lose loose skin while fasting, but the frail will have increased growth hormone release, which helps to make more lean tissue and reduce frailness.
Fasts of 36-96 will not affect short term female fertility or affect menstrual cycle. They also may increase long term fertility issues for some women.
Fasting reduces pain and anxiety by stimulating the endocannabinoid system, just like the effect of CBD oil
Just 24h of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half! This reduces leptin resistance, which impairs immune function.
Stomach acid is reduced over time while fasting and can allow for the healing of treatment resistant ulcers. Some patients may need continued acid reduction medication while fasting.
Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose.
It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism, fighting infection and cancer prevention!
Fasting releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth. This can help a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers.
When not in ketosis, the brain can only burn carbohydrate, which produces a great deal of damaging ROS the brain has to deal with.
Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level.
When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells, destroying them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer.
A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row also provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and extremely low carbs.
Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia. They also help with dementia and many other issues even if you take them while not fasting!
Glycine and trimethylglycine can also be useful supplements while fasting that won't break ketosis and have many benefits.
Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness or tremors, then simply break the fast and seek advice.

This list compiled over years of research by the user known as Pottenger's Human on youtube. Feel free to copy and paste this anywhere you like, no accreditation needed!
My community tab will always contain an updated version of this list of fasting benefits. I also have playlists on fasting and health topics.
Wow! That's a lot of research. Thank you!
This all sounds really good. What do you say to those who would be afraid to fast for such long periods of time? 36 hours sounds extreme to me. I tried a 24 hour fast years ago and I felt faint and wasn't able to finish it.
Dr. Jason Fung recommends fasting for 12-18 hours or longer. I think that's doable for me. What are the benefits to such shorter fasts, according to your lit review?
Thanks again.
For doesn't recommend such short fasts much, they are better than nothing but pretty much pointless. If you lower your carbs and slowly work up the time you will get there. In animal studies, they put animals on back to back long fasts for their entire lives and they get nothing but health benefits. Just work into it slowly if you have trouble, and eat low carb before and after the fast.@@CatMTravels
@@CatMTravels
You actually have to build up to longer fasts. If you're nutritionally deficient, you're going to have a rough time every time if you start fasting right away, that's why people feel faint when they fast because their body lacks the materials it needs to function properly for longer periods.
You need to fix your diet first before you start fasting for longer periods. When your body gets the nutrients it needs, you'll be able to fast for longer periods. You can still fast if you're nutritionally deficient, but the upper limit to your fasting will be smaller.
To optimize fasting, you need to fix the diet first by eating foods with the nutrients you're lacking in.
@@OptimalOptimus-en5sz Okay. That makes sense. Thank you.
How do the benefits of shorter fasting periods (12-18 hours) compare to longer fasts (especially 24+ hours)?
@@CatMTravels
If you've watched Jason Fung's videos, you should know the benefits already, but if you want to know my personal experience, I can share.
When you fast for longer periods, you can actually *feel* way better. What do I mean by this?
Well, when I went through my first day of fasting, it was a bit of a hurdle. I drank Green Tea to help suppress the hunger cravings to get through the first day.
When I transitioned into Day 2 of fasting for the first time, it was as if I received a huge surge of energy. I woke up in the morning with way more mental clarity and focus than I had ever experienced in my life. The hunger I felt the day before practically didn't exist anymore. I was able to fast that whole day with no discomfort at all and I had so much energy that I didn't feel tired doing activities that usually tires me out.
When I broke my fast, things went back to normal. That surge of energy went away, hunger returned, and mental focus and clarity went back to baseline. When I returned to a standard eating pattern, that bodily state never returned.
I decided to experiment to see if that bodily state would return after I fasted for 2 days like before, so the following month, I fasted until I hit the 2nd day of fasting, and that bodily state did indeed return.
It's as if your glucose and glycogen stores are a small fuel tank. When it runs empty and your body switches over to the larger fuel tank which is your fat stores, that's where you get that surge of energy.
This benefit is not something that you can reach if you do caloric restriction. You'll never feel this way if you follow the calories model. The reason why this is the case is that you are essentially refilling that smaller fuel tank constantly and because you're constantly running out of energy in that smaller fuel tank by counting your calories and under consuming without switching over, the engine that's running on it is essentially running on fumes and you feel like crap.
If you fast for 12-18 hours, you won't feel like crap all the time. Yes you will feel hungry, but that hunger goes away after about an hour or so. You can help suppress the hunger during this window by drinking water to help with the transition.
You don't have to do prolonged fasting, but if you want to do it, doing intermittent fasting is a step in the right direction. However, if you want to get that surge of energy I mentioned, you have to make it all the way to the 2nd day of fasting.
This is because the first day is the window in which glucose and glycogen is being used from when you ate your last meal. Once this energy is depleted, your body transitions to using fat for energy which happens on Day 2.
The transition's not fun, but if you can make it through that hurdle, you will feel great.
How many adds do we have to suffer ??? Very frustrating?
I’m in Ireland this is also our big problem
I believe most, maybe even all what dr. Lustig says, he is my top reference to diet for many years. I manged to come to ideal body weight using keto or near keto diet and inspiration came from his talks. What puzzles me in his appearance: he seems to be overweight if not obese. How is that possible? He is very convincing, but is he walking the talk? Maybe it is subcutaneous and not visceral? Maybe camera is not providing good enough picture? What do you think?
It could have a lot to do with where he lives and the chemicals in his environment…plus he seems stressed. He does have a tummy…but cameras are unkind too. All of these speculations follow what he’s proposing…
A brilliant presentation thank you Dr Lustig🙏🙏
Motion and exercise are obviously not on his personal agenda. His "beer belly" makes him a prime candidate for heart complications. So you are correct, he obviously likes talking more than walking. And in my opinion he is not saying anything new or even interesting so I don't understand why people are so enamored by this lecture.
It's subcutaneous fat. He often mentions being over 40 lbs overweight himself, yet metabolically healthy.
@@seanrotharThat's cool to know, I am sorry I haven't heard it before, although I saw many of his videos. Maybe I forgot, who knows. This (for me) new insight amazingly illustrates that he walks the talk, but has calory overflow. I wonder if the calory overconsumption in an metabolically healthy person can still cause some health issues, maybe wear and tear of joints, tendons... I also wonder, can an overweight person even with only subcutaneous superfluous fat remain metabolically healthy. It would be difficult to make such a study, primarily because it is hard to find a cohort of metabolically healthy yet overweight individuals. I would not be surprised if dr. Lustig, at least subconsciously, keeps himself overweight to prove his point that you can be metabolically healthy yet overweight. With all his enthusiasm, I know I would be prone to do a small self experiment, one's own case study, if I would be in his shoes.
I noticed I have a lower temperature in past 10 years
Dr. Lustig: can a person with pancreatic cancer benefit from fasting and improving her metabolic health?
Also listen to Ben Bikman and Ken Berry,. They may help you too. WHOLE FOODS, FASTING. ❤
Pls search for Barbara O'Neil. Thank you. Hope this info helps you. More power
Cancer feeds on sugar. I definitely encourage you to look into a low carb, or even a carnivore diet, to substantially reduce the glucose in your system.
Fasting is a tool and it can may help to kill cancercells.
Fasting can may kill cancercells.
I stay in uk
I think this would go down super well on Tucker or PBT
7:54 book, "the case against free will".
I really like the research Dr. Lustig does, and he's been a pioneer in the industry. That said, personal responsibility is deeply woven through society, primarily from Christianity, Judaism, Buddism, Islam, and other world religions. Saying no personal responsibility calls existed between Homer's Odyssey and the constitution, is just incorrect. Also wish he'd keep his political views out of his talks. I loved his latest book but got tired of the occasional poking at anything conservative. Throwing climate change and vaxinations in at the end of this talk is divisive and takes away from all the fantastic work he's done around obesity.
Also, I do think personal responsibility is a secondary factor in health areas. Some people do eat candy and junk food because they just like it and don't make good decisions. And again that doesn't discount Dr. Lustig's decades of brilliant research and leadership.
Consciousness is and effect of evolution within an organism as a sum of right choices metabolized in better, stronger, animals.
Insanity is what an unconsciously person gets if thinking there is no rule to the games and disease and suffering is the effect of this path of being wrong.
Cognitive dissonance is the foggy mind trying to figure out the lies of a well orchestrated corrupt system
This can explain much in our tree. My mother was large, her mother was large, her mother was large. As a baby I looked like I had a pot gut. Sure, you can lose weight by drastic measures, but it will come back if you have this genetic gene. My sister also has the same tendencies to be large. (Sorry sisi!)
What is the root cause of obesity?
Some of the most common ones are: eating large amounts of processed or fast food - this is food that's high in fat and sugar. drinking too much alcohol - alcohol contains a lot of calories. eating out a lot - food cooked in a restaurant may be higher in fat and sugar.
Book: Robert N Proctor "Agnotology: The Making and Unmaking of Ignorance"
We are stone age human bodies, with biochemistry adapted to a stone age world. Or a world we had up to the 20th century. And yes, we have biological basic behaviors as a result of this environment. Anger, fear, love, fight, flight, hunger, longing for scarse energy rich food, saving energy etc etc. So everyday we get instincts to do some of all this biological behaviors, the call of the wild. We end up in a stressed situation and our brain tell us to do some of those behaviors.
But. We are also humans. We have a concience. And our environment has changed. We have abundancy of food, we have alot of alcohol, we drive cars in speed that can kill others. So when we have a responability to know we have these "call of the wild" and make a decision if we are going to follow the call or don't. You are driving down the road and someone cut your off. You get angry and wan't to chase this idiot to tell him a thing or two! Well that maybe worked when you were running on the plains of Africa. But now you are in 2 tons of steel in 150 km/h endangering everyone around you. Then we need a personal responsability to refrain from follow the call. If I know my biochemistry makes me easy addictive to alcohol, if I start drinking I will continue for days, then I have to make the decision not to drink alcohol at all. It is tough, a fight every day, but I have to override my biochemistry.
The same with food. Yes we have a chemical environment making us easy gaining weight. Yes we have alot of sugar in almost all our food. The store is a fructose heaven, just as the bottle shop is an alcohol heaven. So we have to know the wild calls us to gather all the sugar and eat it while we can. And we have to override the urge to do so. And we can do so. Ok, I am a biologist, so I have studied instinct behavior and biochemistry. I know and often recognize "the call of the wild". Therefore have a chance to choose if I am going to follow it or not. The problem is those people believing in Tabula rasa, that everything is social environment and biology stops at the neck. Had a discussion with a radical feminist who denied biological behaviors ("I get in love with whom ever I want to be in love with.") And she was a typical slave under her biological behaviors. Alot of feelings. She believed so much in free will that she had almost none. To have free will you have to recon your biology.
And what are the European policies regarding these substances???
54:11 ...taking delight at the misfortune of others.
Isn't this also the description of the sadism aspect of personality that had to be added to the "Big 5" personality model/test as an indicator of Psychopathy?
I've certainly eliminated almost all sugar from my diet, except on special occasions. I'm doing pretty well at 78. Of course, I'm also avoiding seed oils and pretty much all processed foods. Keto allowed me to lose 40 pounds easily and keep it off. Of course, at my age, and Dr. Lustig is getting there, it's hard to keep our girlish figures even if we eat right. Just saying.
Now obese people can say - it is not me, it is a PVC floor? I've been overweight all my life, and blaming the environment does not compensate for 2-3 pieces of cake I shouldn't have eaten. I knew the consequences. And I am responsible for my choices. Do not go to the gym is also my personal choice….
"2-3 pieces of cake"
cakes are the environment, not the PVC...
if we were eating healthy red meat and no sugar/carbs we wouldn't be obese...
So does he discuss how to reduce reactivate oxygen species?
Only to stay away from the causes of the.
If you are well insulted, your body will slow down to avoid overheating.
Take an cold bath/shower to jumpstart your metabolism.
Robert, Robert,Robert what are you doing man. I love you ( not in a creepy way) but you have to get rid of that pot belly.
Dr lundi I think that building I stay in if they can't fix the problem it should be closed that shelter housing where I am my daughter s wat brilliant cold water not dirty I very cold good but she s not in shelter housing am able to go out anytime
Hi Prof Lustig. I listen to you and agree with pretty much everything you say, however I think that if you got rid of your large belly you might be more . Your shirt seems very tight over your abdomen
Hey, Dr. Lustig has put up a bit of belly too😉
Could it be that: Babies are born fatter because the mothers are, it is passed on. And the lower body temperatures come from the fact that we have less infectious diseases, less parasites.
Individuals need to know what is said here and taught to act on it. However the current agenda is that it appears they WANT IT.
