I was diagnosed in 2018 with Frontal temporal dementia. I found out early in my diagnoses that sugar was bad. I was a sugar addict. I've cut at least 90 percent of sugar from my diet and I think it's slowed down my progression. I believe this totally.
My father had frontal temporal dementia the last years of his life. I suspect that my Mom cooking good food for him helped slow the progression, because he lived years longer than expected. All the best. Carpe diem.
My mom suffered for 40 years due to insulin resistance (tooth loss, severe depression, obesity, then diabetes II and dementia.) I am convinced none of it was hereditary. Her diet was toxic and she didn’t know it. She succumbed to her illness after exposure to COVID. I was a guardian for 25 years and people balked at me when I brought up her diet. A doctor finally said it recently, sugar is as addictive as cocaine, because it works on the same dopamine receptors. There is no accident that companies knew this and put it in everything. They should be ashamed. So sad. RIP MOM ❤
There was a book back in the 1970s called Sugar Blues. It broke down chemically how sugar and heroin are the same structures and equally addictive. Actress Gloria Swanson spoke out against the addictive of sugar even then.
In Arabian countries, they eat more than we do of Date sugar and it's not as processed as our sugar They don't get the illnesses we are talking about here including cancer which they have a very low incidence of ( I have also learned that Fluoride does not help your teeth it actually weakens the outer tooth hardening it This causes micro holes in your teeth and they can even break I Now use SPLAT Toothpaste because it contains Hydroxyapatite which is what your teeth are composed of This toothpaste is even repairing a very small bit of decay on one tooth Flouride recently in the news too because it can cause so very many problems in your body if you look it's there now
@@dalimadison7557 Yes yes yes! I read this book in the late 70s and over the years have bought it several times and given it away each time to pass the knowledge.
I quit cocaine after binging for weeks and I did it cold turkey. That was 35 yrs ago. Still can’t quit my sugar addiction so I’d say it’s a much greater addiction
My hubby (who’s a type 2 diabetic), and I (who was on the edge of being diagnosed), drastically changed our eating at the beginning of March. He’s lost 23 pounds, his blood sugars have stabilized, his A1C has dropped from 9.4 to 7.3 in ONE MONTH!) and I’ve lost 20 pounds. Sugar is going to kill us longgggg before anything else ever will.
It isn't sugar. Type 2 Diabetes didn't exist until the intro of high fructose corn syrup in 1970. That's probably the culprit. Sugar has been around since the 15th century. The best sugar to use is called Evaporated Cane Juice which is nothing more than unrefined sugar. It has vastly different properties and that's the type people used in colonial America. Unrefined sugar retains its nutrients and has no chemical changes to its properties. It's the same way with unrefined salt vs refined salt. I had two bags of sugar in my cabinet and one day, I saw the unrefined evaporated cane juice bag moving around. I looked inside and at least 100 ants were inside actively feeding on it. The other bag, which was refined sugar, had only 2 ants in it and both were dead.
@@pollypurree1834 Interesting ant story but not surprising :) Don't you think it's also the volume of refined sugars of all types? I don't know how many years it took for mfrs to add sugar to virtually every processed food, but I think sugar was more a luxury pre-industrialization.
@@curiouscat3384 Sugar was very common in colonial American cooking. They used unrefined sugar. Insects and mold know instinctively which foods are bad. If mold and insects don't want it, you don't either.
And who pushed this agenda in the early 1950s on humanity in the American food supply? The sugar industry knew their products would cause dental and massive health issues since the 1950s, but they worked with our government agencies (cigarette-ad-campaign-style) to ensure we wouldn’t know the true damage sugar could cause until we were all addicted.
@@tim71pos look up the title of this paper, “Understanding the Link between Sugar and Cancer: An Examination of the Preclinical and Clinical Evidence”. Furthermore, it says, “This review summarizes the research on the link between added sugar and cancer and the plausible mechanisms for a causal association. Evidence from epidemiologic and preclinical studies demonstrates that excess sugar consumption can lead to development of cancer and progression of disease for those with cancer..." Sugar is a poison that is way over used in American society.
A family friend was told his lung cancer had come back and surgery or treatment wasn't an option. He cut sugar and processed foods out and ate healthy foods. His cancer is in remission! It is unbelieveable especially at his age of 80.
Those of us who follow a carnivore diet knew this already. The main stream media doesn't tell you this because their parent company owns food processing plants and doesn't want to hurt their bottom line.
In the Philippines, more than 10% of the population or over 13 million have diabetes. A huge number still don't know they have the disease, this is primarily due to sugar addiction and too much carbohydrate in their diet. Thanks for very informative health series.
Filipinos eat and consume quite bit of sugar. They use it in everything. They also eat an overabundance of white rice. And many, drink tons of Coca-Cola too. All pre-cursors to Diabetes. When I married my Filipina wife, I stopped her from so much white rice and had her to start eating Brown rice and Quinoa. She also cut back on her sugars at least 60%. She is no longer Pre-diabetes.
After moving to Europe a few years ago my diet has improved 100%. Sugar is reduced significantly in products here so certain foods taste less sweet. I no longer miss sugar and I'm surprised at how many natural foods are still just to sweet for me.
Where are you? Italy still loves their sweets, but they are usually just a breakfast thing. I agree will overdo sugar here - not sure why, but I think it masks the horrible chemical taste of everything premade.
I feel like people have been duped, tricked, and groomed into suffering from metabolic syndrome and sugar addiction, and it has gotten worse in the last few generations. Had I known breakfast cereals were such bad news, I would have never eaten them, or continued to eat them. Fruit juice is presented as so healthy, but now I know it is a sugar bomb. Had I known eating pasta day in and day out was a horrible idea, I would not have carried on that past college (basically all I could afford in college). I could say I haven't suffered from sugar addiction, but I LOVE bread. Begrudgingly I have gone to limiting myself to 1 slice at no more than 2 meals a day. Decades ago, I did realize and conclude drinking sugared soda all day might mimick being diabetic as your blood would be full of sugar all day, and I stopped that! I wish I had been blessed with this knowledge many decades ago. If I had kids nowadays, there definitely would not be any breakfast cereal or juice, and some other items in the house or on their plate.
Because doctors are talking to you like you would live for ever and never have desease if you are eating healthy food all the time, which is not the case obviously because human as a whole have emotions, social interaction (hopefully), so basically what you eat is only a tiny part of the whole thing. If doctors were so right, we would see them living a longer life compare to the rest of us. Studies have shown that people living happy and for a long period are those people surrounded by a lot of other people, and not alone. We are social being, with emotions that can create desease. Just like the father in the next house, he did lose his son, and he also died few months later without any health problem before. I think accepting fat people and telling them it's ok to be like that, because we don't want to be rude, is becoming the main problem, making the sugar argument and presence irrelevant.
I remember watching a programme about a well known chocolate company. They openly boasted that adding salt to a sweet substance, ie chocolate or caramel, tricked the taste buds into eating more as it wasn't so sweet!
Yes! Especially the boomer generation. They were entirely tricked on purpose!!! I was educated in biochemistry of the body which was what taught me what foods do inside the body. I immediately told everyone I knew to stop eating trans fat and high fructose corn syrup. But the biochemistry of them was never common knowledge until recently. I wish we would educate the children deeply in nutrition. But the education is so behind. And on purpose, they want their profits!!! When something you wouldn’t allow inside your body is manipulation inside it, its such a terrible feeling to find out!!!
Excellent advice because once you realise that the food industry is your drug pusher and is making sure almost everybody stays addicted and that you can ease it off by systematically reducing intake, and that on the other side of that you're going to feel much much better, it makes it at least possible to get free.
I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes 4months ago. Big wake up call! I since have stopped eating sugar and lowered my carb intake and I now no longer have diabetes. I also had crippling knee pain from osteoarthritis and now I have very little pain. I’ve also lost 25lbs. Sugar/processed carbs were literally killing me! Feel so much better now!!
Organic cane sugar is NOT the problem. High Fructose Corn Syrup is the problem. It's in everything now. It's chemical crack called "sugar" but it is NOT SUGAR!! IT IS POISON MADE IN A LAB AND IT HAS MERCURY IN IT! I call it "Franken Sugar"...I wish people would learn the truth and stop blaming "sugar"....nobody was fat in the 1950s- early 80s and they ate CANE SUGAR all the time! When these evil monsters replaced it with HFCS is when all the obesity began to sky rocket. Vanderbilt University did a study using two groups of rats. The first group was fed a normal diet with cane sugar water. The other group was fed the same diet with HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP water. The first group maintained their same weight throughout the study. The second group that got the "franken sugar" water developed OBESITY AND DIABETES! (All by design folks, you are their Lab Rats/Cash Cows!!). The reason people could eat bread and sugar in the 40s through early 80s was because it was NATURAL CANE SUGAR, not the chemical crack they use in everything today known as High Fructose Corn Syrup (HCFS). In addition, the bread back then was healthy NON GENETICALLY MODIFIED GRAINS, NOT SATURATED IN MONSANTOS ROUND UP and they added healthy, metabolism boosting IODINE to the bread back then as well. Today, these evil bastards who are pawns of satan add BROMINE instead of iodine to the mass produced bread products. This "bromine" is the main component in TERMITE POISON!!! This is why everyone is FAT because our bodies store the POISONS IN THE FAT TO PROTECT THE ORGANS!! THIS IS ALL DONE WITH MALICE
Look into the harm caused by oxalates. You’ve already reduced your intake by reducing carbs. Sally K. Norton is all over TH-cam talking about their negative effect on our bodies. Understanding our bodies despite the government and AMA guidelines is a bit of a challange these days but information is out there.
Hi Mike! I'm 72, and I went from an A1c of 9.6 to 5.1 in six months doing a high fat and high protein diet. When I was young, people wanted a doctor with gray hair because it was thought that it was a sign of experience. Those were the doctors that made us sick. Now I want a doctor that looks younger, a lot younger. You are almost too old, but still in the 'good' range. By the way, my gray hair went back to its original color, it's a thing, you can look it up. You're doing a great job man, keep up the good work.
I am also 72 and have been diabetic for 10 years, but never knew that it could be reversed until this year, when I found out by accident. I am also on a low carb diet (with an 8hr feeding window) and my fasting blood sugar is down to 6.1 mmol, and in a few weeks i expect it to be normal at 5.5 or less. I am not sure which is worse, a doctor who tells you nothing, or a doctor who gives false information!
@@Alan_Clark Boy, that's the truth! We got confused and thought that Doctors take care of our health. They are consultants. We are the doctors. They knew how to treat T2 in the Civil War.
High fat / high protein is not good for your arteries, especially if it's coming from animal fat/proteins. Sometimes skinny with fat arteries is more dangerous than being obese, etc. 'Cause it's the hidden dangers you can't see on the outside that get you (atherosclerosis, dementia, etc. [narrowing of the arteries that supply the heart, brain, etc.]) Check out Nutrition Facts' videos. They'll get you on the straight and narrow.
I read ‘Sugar BLues’ by William Dufty when it came out in 1976 and started eliminating sugar from my diet. Much later I discovered that wheat and grains are not good either. So I started keto a couple of years ago. I am now 73, no medication, very fit and I still have all my teeth 😆. Please people follow this Doctor’s advice, you cannot imagine how it will change your life! Love from Alsace, France ❤
Yes ! I find the info about grains a bit confusing. The bible talks a lot about grains & flat bread so I can't see grains as being bad for us. However , the soil we grow grains in is defecienrt in nutrients and seeds are GM . Also how grains are processed etc all of these factors may make grains unsuitable for consumption today . There never used to be gluten intolerance and now everyone has it. So what has changed to make a biblical food into a poison ? That's how I see it. A change to make it harmful to us
@@zerotoleranceforsataniceli4794 grains are usually sprayed with glyphosate a couple days before harvest to dry them quickly and evenly. It never has chance to leave the grain. So in actual fact it is glyphosate intolerance not gluten. Chances are pure, clean, non-GMO grains will not cause the same issues. Same as raw, organic milk and dairy products from organic grass-fed cows is generally not a problem for dairy intolerant folk. I’m not saying 100% but generally.
All it took was for me was to find out that I’m pre-diabetic. I almost feel like I am being tortured having to give up sweets, added sugar- honey added to tea etc. -- BUT -- I never ever realized how much added sugar there is in processed food - which I’ve had to stay away from also. Once you start reading the labels regarding sugar and carbs - it is beyond ridiculous -- and scary that people don’t know and realize this. It has not been easy to do and I have fallen off the wagon a few times - but my sugar intake has reduced drastically.
I was told some years ago that I was pre diabetic. fast forward today I've cut down on sugar so much. It ruined my skin to the point I developed eczema on my neck and scalp. When I told my Dr that the sugar was the cause of my newly developed skin condition he responded that there's no evidence that this is the case. I knew better and stopped eating sugary foods and the eczema disappeared after 2 weeks.
In my house we separate “treats” from “snacks”. A treat is a rare food that is negative to your health, but is okay once in a while. A snack is a neutral or positive food you eat in between meals with moderation daily; nuts/fruits/tortilla chips with salsa/veggies/plain yogurt with cinnamon etc… it’s worked well so far!!
I think the biggest epidemic is that sugar consumption starts as a very young child, by parents, and other relatives, including elementary school promoting the use of candy and deserts, including quick tetra Pak juices, canned soda, and even homemade juices. When it's starts as a child, the child continues with this thinking until it's too late.
Funny how we used to eat sweets and desserts all the time back in the 50s-70s and almost NOBODY was overweight, much less obese/diabetic.

I was told that it is the right for Grandparents to buy sweets for the Grandkids so I had no choice in the matter. (Other Grandparents were worse.) As a Granny, my Grandchildren don't expect sweets when I visit. I have still got a sweet tooth and as a baby I was initially fed on sugar and water in the hospital.
Thank you doctor. I watched my father’s life fall apart because of his relationship to sugar and diabetes. It was horrible. I have cut sugar out of my life and I cannot tell you how healthy I feel at 56. I am trim and bouncy as I ever have been. No medication, full head of hair, and my eyesight is still perfect. I firmly believe that cutting out sugar had a lot to do with it.
@@globalfamily8172 My father had that issue after having to stop his nightly scotch routine. (Spleen removal from diabetes). His sugar intake increased. As for myself, I do use honey but never processed/white sugar, etc. Drinking is occasional wine with a meal. (Moderate intake of red wine seems to have benefits, that I agree with).
Me too, I watched my dad go downhill in his 60's because of his eating habits. He lived to 77 but had a foot amputated and many other serious health problems from diabetes 2.
@@amber40494 Yeah. First they took out my dad's spleen, then the left eye went blind... and then the right. (After monthly injections into his eye to extract fluid). His feet were already going numb. He literally put himself into hospice and refused to eat thus going into a diabetic coma. It was essentially a sanctioned suicide. The idea of being blind with no feet or legs in a wheelchair was enough for him. People don't realize that diabetes WILL cause amputations and other issues. It's like a slow cancer.
This is interesting. Been doing Keto & IF for 2 years now, I have documented 42 things that have straightened out in my health, besides 50 lbs of weight loss. I just stopped taking my BP medicine. I feel like I am in my early 20s, but I am 61.
Omg I know I wish I knew this when I was 20, I wonder what I would have felt/looked like then! I feel and look better now because of keto/lack of sugar in my diet.
A year ago around my 65th birthday, I discovered after eating a piece of cake for my birthday and got a terrible gut ache of nothing I'd ever had before! Felt like I got sucker punched in the gut! Several of these sort of episodes caused me to stop all sugar, grains, and processed foods! I can't say I've always good days, but my health has improved and yes I've lost weight. I had to work on elimination of things I thought was good for me that really wasn't. It's a life change and there's still digestive issues. I eat much more healthy now. I even found a family farm that grows their own grain and all foods are organic as you can buy from them locally!
It's not that hard to understand but I'll explain it to you so people eat unhealthy when they are in their 20's because of ignorance and lack of knowledge and care for health but these bad habits will continue till they are old and even their problems will if they don't fix it before it's too late. @@pattybaselines
The biggest factor in increased longevity is the reduction in kids dying before age 5 due to childhood diseases and diarrhea. People dying very young results in a huge reduction in average life span.
I am a diabetic. I severely limit intake of sugars. My late wife died at age 43. The minister officiating at her funeral asked to see her personal Bible. When he opened The Book he saw all the candy bar wrappers my wife had been using as place markers: she was never without one at the ready. My wife once quipped, "I can't understand why I can't lose weight." When I told her that it might have something to do with all sugary sodas and candy bars she consumed, I saw steam coming out her ears and she didn't speak to me for three days.
Thank you for informing us on the sugar-addiction crisis in America. This needs to be taught in schools and reflected in our school menus. Also companies need to remove unnecessary sugar from our food. 👍
The problem is that the sugar they remove will be replaced with something unnatural and even worse for us. This is what they do now with “Low Fat” or “No Sugar” products. What unnatural and GMO ingredients do they add to replace fat and sugar? Harmful additives preservatives and sugar substitutes of all kinds that wreak havoc on our digestive and nervous systems. The answer is really just to recognize that most of the foods on shelves and fridges/freezers in your grocery store aren’t really food. It is up to you to stay away from those sections and stick around the produce section. Make your own sauces and stuff from whole foods and fresh seasonings and herbs.
Another one of you "this needs to be taught in school 🏫" folks. Well, surprise, it is, and so are many useful things, which is why education is stressed. Not to mention everyone in 1st world countries have access to the internet. Lesson here: just because something is taught doesn't mean it will be applied. If that was the case, illegal drugs and many other social ills would've been eradicated decades ago. Human nature is far more complex. 😶
As a teacher, I have such an issue with “This should be taught in schools.” Most children do not shop for groceries or prepare the meals they eat. That’s a parental responsibility. Most of the problems with young people today are not due to their lack of knowledge of nutrition, but to lazy, irresponsible parents who don’t care enough about their children’s health to educate themselves on healthy diets, and follow through to provide them. Stop trying to shift more parenting obligations onto teachers. We have our own families to raise.
The food pyramid needs to be corrected and redone and posted in drs offices and school lunchrooms. That will at least give people a visual of what is recommended.

I couldn't lose weight to save my life and I'd already cut out sugar years before. I was eating healthy cereal, healthy brown bread and while wheat pasta and rice. I then found out that these carbs convert to sugar in the body. I quit bread, pasta, rice, noodles and potatoes and got my carbs under 20 grams per day. I switched to healthy high fat and moderate protein. In ten months, I lost 103 pounds and reversed prediabetes - as well as ridding myself of joint inflammation. The key is to learn about keto and how to integrate it with intermittent fasting. It requires a little paradigm shift, but it is well worth it I'm three years in now and I've maintained my weight loss to date, while I'll never return to conventional junk food.
The glycemic index (rate at which a food makes your blood sugar go up) is higher for Cheerios cereal than it is for just spooning table sugar right into your mouth! It's amazing.

Thanks Dr. Hansen. I am type 2 diabetic and have controlled my A1c by carefully monitoring my diet. I have kept A1c at around 6.7. A lot of diabetics crave sugar and give in to the cravings. One of the things that helps me is taking fiber capsules. Please consider doing a video on that. 🤔
Great summary, I'm happy to find your video. We don't need dietary sugar, at all. But all of the processed foods are spiked with added sugar. Poisoned with added sugar, to be precise. 92.3% of people are livestock of the food industry (and pharma industry and insurance industry and so on..)
As I went through my 40s I really started piling on the weight and ended up with really high blood pressure and always feeling tired and no energy along with a slew of pills to take for BP. I tried my best not to eat cheap crappy foods but the food I did eat was high fat and still a lot of sugar, in it not a great combination, and fizz drinks plus sweet snacks. I decided to get a private blood panel done a couple of Years ago and my metabolic markers were way out, all borderline high or low, basically I was overweight and was pre-diabetic, and this was knocking out my metabolic markers. I did manage to lose a bit of weight but it wasn't really enough, I was about 6 stone overweight at my worst and the weight just piled on again worse than ever. The classic sugar addiction. I got the blood work done again recently and it was much the same. I am living on borrowed time, if I don't get this in check it will catch up with me. I did do a soups and shakes diet about 6 years ago and that brought my weight down about 4 stone in a 3 or 4 months, and I'm doing that again, the difference this time is I need to switch on to healthy meal plans after the initial weight loss, which I never done the first time. Otherwise, looking at me you would never know I had such a problem but I'm trying to do something about it. I know there are many people just like me probably unaware of what is going on in their body and they won't know until it's too late. i know this will catch up with me if I don't address it. Doctors should do these blood panels as a a matter of course so people know what's going on, so they can do something about it.
Alcoholic at 50 from lifelong sugar addiction. Stopped the sugar, stopped the desire for alcohol. 17 yrs sober. Sugar not recognized by many as an addiction back then. I was clued in by an alcoholic with a new liver!
I usually do not eat many things that contain sugar. But there are so many things that contain hidden sugar that we don’t even know about. 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🙏🏼
So nice to see a TH-cam doc coming out hard on refined sugar, it seems like most docs just ignore the dietary stuff and profit from it. Would be even better to see more docs understand the negative effects of animal products too.

My husband we found out was diabetic. He was bad blood was 665.They put him on 8 insulin shots, then metformin 4 times a day 1000mg. The sugar came out through his eyes; he almost went blind twice, and while all this is happening his doctor told , The American Diabetes association and they met him at his doctor's office.

A few weeks went by and it happened again bad. He wanted to see a specialists. The doctor said the sugar decided to come out through his eyes, some pee it out. He said one way or another its coming out. They said he must have been a diabetic for a long time for his eyes to be so bad.
@@joannedeherrera340 thank you for that explanation. I have never heard of that experience before. I know if I eat a lot of chocolate I get a bit of itchy skin and red eyelids, puffiness which I think is due to high blood sugar.
@@claytonmurray5004 Your welcome. One thing we both learned, is to be aware of our bodies when it comes to foods, pills, intuition etc. So, if your skin feels this way, your body is trying to tell you something. I wish you well.
Thanks for sharing much needed info with us Doc. I really appreciate it!. Wasn't sugar lover before hearing the debilitating effects of it. Now I'm more aware. Sugar is responsible for so many ailments in the body, than I'd imagined.

Unfortunately we all die... the surviving loved ones, especially those who have to see the slow process, also die a little bit each day. Live your life, if possible, with a smile, a good word to your fellow man/woman, and love your family and God. I wish I had more time to live by my own words. Happiness to ALL.
This is excellent information. I sure wish all medical doctors would discuss sugar In takes with their patients like this handsome Dr. Is telling us. Great video. I have about 10 people in mind to forward this too!💖💖
I've been taking care of a parent who is diabetic, overweight, has metabolic syndrome, including fatty liver, and this has triggered a litany of never ending health issues. For years I have been taking them to the clinic, hospital and it has taken such a huge toll on my personal life, it has limited me in personal activities and ruined romantic relationships... a huge chunk of this I'm understanding was the diet, sugary drinks, juices, little cakes, cereals and the "low-fat" (aka high sugar) diet craze. I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic last year and was certain I was destined for the same fate. I stumbled upon channels like Dr. Hansen's, but also Dr. Berg's and I started intermittent fasting, nothing huge just skipping breakfast and going through straight to lunch just on coffee, cutting sugar (sugar IS everywhere once you start looking) and bread. I've cut back on eating out which honestly has ended up saving me tons of money. But I have legitimately annoyed everyone around me and it has been the hardest, going counter current to a lifetime of habits and perceptions. I'm down 20 lbs and I look better than I've looked in the last 5 years and feel more energetic. Other family members have been following. I hope I can still get a shot at life. Thank you Dr. Hansen and Dr. Berg. You are doing God's work.

My Dad. Every symptom, especially dementia, described him before he passed. I can’t stand soft drinks, but that’s all he would drink, no plain water ever. I tried to convince him that spring water is heavenly, not like tap. He didn’t care, had to have his soda and nothing else. I tried to explain the need for probiotic rich foods, like fermented foods, that I love, but he was like a kid again. No vegetables, nothing fermented, nothing healthy, EWWW! I told him “probiotics help suppress candida yeast that release hormones that make you crave the sugar they need for food, and suppressing it will suppress cravings,” but I didn’t know what I was talking about. I even said “you’re German and you don’t like kraut?” He said “I’m not that German.” I should have tried harder. I love garlic ginger turmeric kraut, oh my lord it smells so heavenly, ambrosia! I’m eating some right now.
People in their old age still drink regular soda but not in excess including warren buffet for one can a day of coca cola. Water can be considered poisonous as some people do die every year due to excessive water consumption and the water lacking enough minerals (coca cola doesn't). Coca cola is just a form of tea: water, sugar, and herbs (it was invented by a doctor). I believe keeping the soda down to one can or less per day and avoid drinking water excessively as food does contain lots and lots of water.
I've given up sugar (for the umpteenth time) a few days ago. Man, am I grumpy today! 😊 I've experienced this often but I know it's the best way to go and after a couple weeks I'll feel good again.
I used to feel like I had a hangover all the time, even when I wasn't boozing at all. Since I layed off the sugar I feel much better, and I also went through sugar withdrawls

Yep alcohol turns into sugar in your blood stream. Im a soda junkie. I once stopped it and drank only iced water for years. Im heading back and trying to do Bengal Spice herbal tea with stevia diluted with a decaf plain tea bag for iced tea. Its really good. Im getting off cream soda. I was a dr pepper addict. I tasted a few sips of a dr pepper from taco bell as I ran out of my drink. It was horrible! It truly tasted like prune juice. I guess those that teased me were telling the truth.
@@RepentfollowJesus I sometimes think the issue with sodas is we like the way the consistency feels in our mouths and throats, and have to withdraw from that as well.
Very important advice given by a doctor full of empathy. Governments raise taxes from sweetened beverages and other poisonous sweetened foods, which leads to huge expenses from the heatlth system. The recommendations of this video should adivse public policies worldwide, with great savings in lives and resources. Fortunately fresh legumes are abundant here in Brazil and it's been a long long time since I have ceased taking sugar-added foods. Thank you, Doctor!

My Grandmother was a health food fanatic, never ate sugar and lived to be 96. My mother in law was obese ate a high fat, salt, sugar diet and lived to be 90. Eating healthy definitely works but not eating healthy doesn't mean you're going to die young.
Same, my Grandma NEVER ate healthy and only drank soda everyday, she wasn't obese at all, quite the opposite, and she lived untill almost 100, same with my next door neighbor, she passed in 2020 at almost 100 yrs old and she had a crazy sweet tooth and only drank soda, she didn't have ANY kind of illness, not even diabetes, she just died of old age, the same like my Grandmother... everyone is different.
🤍 Both my parents smoked cigarettes, drank alcohol, had poor diets. Both had long lives. Both took medications. One had several surgeries. Being aware of how our parents lived and died is valuable information. 🤍
You’re presenting this like they are equal. The reality is it’s not unusual for a healthy eating individual to reach 90, while it’s very rare for an obese individual to do so. It’s a really bad take tbh.
I have been addicted to sugar for most of my life. It was really hard to reduce the sugar intake because the cravings were so strong. My remedy is to eat nuts when I need a snack.
@ Fly with Magnar ..It’s been a month since I took your advice and started reaching for nuts when I wanted something sweet or a snack….it’s working! …I don’t have the cravings for sugar like I use to ..thank you ,thank you !🙂
Sugar and the death cycle, never more clearly and comprehensively dealt with. This superb presentation deserves a subscribe :) ( which I've just done) :)
Not all honeys are the same. Unprocessed natural honey has many therapeutic benefits, such as being a natural antibiotic, antiviral and anti-parasitic, that can actually help improve your health, of course it also has natural sugars that must be consumed in limited amounts.

As a 5th generation organic pineapple farmer (I only have 1 acre now) I will correct one thing:. Fresh pineapple in a mere blender is the same as whole fruit pineapple metabolically. The problematic kind of juice is when you discard the fiber or pulp. God made fruits with all the parts. I even eat the pineapple cores, they weren't meant to be cored out. Each of my family members eats a pineapple per day when we harvest. Amazing bromelain enzyme, fresh juice, flesh, and fiber have tremendous health benefits! @Doctor Mike Hansen. Doesn't matter whether if it is blended ina shake or eaten plain, same health benefits as long as you don't discard parts. The pineapples in the supermarket are sprayed with lots and lots of toxic chemicals unnecessarily and I would not touch them. Sugar is even more toxic now because it is HFCS and full of mercury, or genetically modified sugar beets sprayed with weed killer (the white crystals people buy in a bag labeled sugar is sugar beets), and even the sugar cane and stevia (unless organic) are sprayed with weed killer as a dessicant in the fields. A dose of chemical poison with each spoonful. That's contributed to the rapid acceleration of human and animal disease.
So the organic pineapple in Whole Foods, sometimes in other local food markets, are not really organic the label and ticket says there organic starts with a #9 are these truly organic pineapple if not than how do I get your organic pineapple?
Great video... thank u... I just have one request.... Could u list the links to the studies on your videos?... I would greatly appreciate it... I like to read them and pass the findings along so we are all equally educated. 🙏
Absolutely. AKA Enteric Nervous System. Sugar is poison. A Doctor ( ahead of his time, taught me this many years ago). Yes, hidden sugar, read labels and learn. There is much to learn without question. Thank you for sharing this important information.
Went keto. No sugar products. Lost 75 pounds, went from obese to normal weight, elevated blood pressure to normal,sleep apenia to no sleep apenia,and blood work has improved., and some doctors say it's not healthy.
🤍 keto becomes dangerous and deadly when ketosis is induced to a stage the body can not cope with the toxic effect 🤍 our bodies do NEED some glucose to function properly.
In my 20's, -40's I smoked, drank and did some drugs. No addictions, was able to COLD TURKEY them all. Sugar and caffeine was a different experience, had chills, headaches and tremors!

Anecdotal experience: After years of itchy skin and jock itch, it slowly occurred to me that there was a correlation between high sugar foods and skin condition. I am on 6th day of low sugar regimen, using raisins and almonds for a sugar 'fix.' .......Within first 24 hrs itch was dramatically less. I'm guessing that it's yeast related. .......(Dermatologists seem unaware of sugar/skin itch connection.)
@@wendybee8854 I understand. You are right! But it's high in fibre. And it's not refined sugar. I'm open to following where this goes. Kind of an experiment that I am documenting for myself.
I learned that often occurring itching skin that happens could be from damaged pancreas n maybe cancer in or on the pancreas I had same itchy skin problem, when i quite eating these evil sugar foods the itchy skin problem went away, if i eat to much natural sugar in natural foods itchy skin problem comes back I cut up 1 apple a day to for pieces n eat a piece every 2-4 hours usually, if i am doing hard work which requires lots of energy i eat more sometimes
@John C raisins are not high fiber, they are essentially a natural junk food. Only 5% of the carbs are fiber, and 75% is sugar. Compare to lentils, which has 50% carbs as fiber, only 3% as sugar. Or compare to fresh raspberries, which have twice the fiber and 1/15 the sugar of raisins.
When I wasn't feeling well, I prepared a canned tomato soup. This was from the top canned soup brand in the U.S. I have eaten this kind of soup throughout my life and was shocked that this last can produced something sweeter than ketchup. This same brand of tomato soup did not taste like this previously. I see there were 12 g. sugar overall of which 8g were added.
Campbell's own their own tomato farm , mostly in Ohio. The recent Tomato crop probably needed the extra sugar because the tomatoes were not naturally sweet as they usually are. Can't sell sour tomato soup
It's a travesty. Even frozen diet dinners and many brands of peanut butter have added sugar. The only way to avoid it is to cook as much as possible from scratch using basic ingredients. Processed food are poison.
@@Katkit537 Yeah. I thought I was preparing comfort food and at least I added a can of milk to the condensed soup. The end result was sweeter than hot cocoa, so what the heck??? Is this what that company wants today's kids to remember? Tomato "soup" is just another sugary drink???? LOL!
@@fannybuster Interesting! Still, IMO, there was too much sugar in what I had. No tomato flavor. It reminded me of tales of people in Depression years who made tomato "soup" with ketchup and hot water if they could get the ketchup. I do a lot of cooking from scratch. I sometimes add a teaspoon of sugar to or maybe half a tablespoon of ketchup to, say a gallon, of stew as flavor enhancement to balance other tastes. It doesn't take much to do the job. With so many artificial flavorings commercially available today I'd think a big company would not just pour sugar into a product. Or maybe the new tomato "soup" is supposed to taste like a sugary drink? LOL!
Whenever I eat a processed food I can taste the sugar in it. This is true even for foods that most people would think had no sugar at all such as some peanut butters, bread, crackers, etc. Some say it is in fast food meat products, too.
@@melissalee2522 true but I have a really fast metabolism and I stay hungry. I snack all day. I also have low energy due to compounding factors so snacks like apple cinnamon granola bars and coffee Hagen Daz ice cream bars are my jam lol
Why am I struggling to hear a fave doctor talking about something I love to hear. The last pound of sugar purchased in this house was 5 years ago. And try to avoid all other kinds of glucose or fructose or wth. Almost 88 years old. Still here, Dr. Mike.
If you work in a telephone call center and need to give people confirmation/reference numbers, you usually give the person 3 characters at a time. As people get older, you must go down to 2 or 1 character at a time, depending on how bad their memory is. My memory was getting so bad that I was down to copying only two numbers at a time. I went mostly carnivore, 100% gluten free, almost 100% seed oil free, and less that 20 grams of carbohydrates per day. After many months, I'm up to copying 4 numbers at a time.
I don't work in a call center but I find that I have to give people no more than 3 characters at a time no matter how old they are. Interestingly that most are young people under the age of 30. Even then, they will ask me to repeat myself because they forgot what I just said. Older people seem to be a little better.
I worked the call center line for JELL EGG JIGGLER MOLDS and a lady called in just to scream at me "DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH SUGAR IS IN THAT!" (The recipe is a cup of sugar or so concentrated into each egg-shaped hunk of Jell! but they sure were delicious!)
@@deva190 , hmmm. Usually, I found older people (ages 60 and up) to have memory problems. It was either the result of medications and/or of physical (brain) deterioration.
@@kimberlycooper4170 Yeah, that's probably true. I think a better way to say this should have been both age groups may have problems remembering three characters but for different reasons: older people may have memory issues but younger people have "attention to details" deficits.
I know a PA and he says that being fat, eating tons of sugar, is worse for people than smoking. He literally says that he would rather have a patient that smokes over a patient that eats tons of sugar.
@@RandomDudeOne that person is eating a ton of food. Even eating a lot of fat, enough to make me super big, would be disgusting. Like drinking cups of olive oil or something. Anyone would be grossed out by that I think. Most people get fat because there's tons of added sugar to their food. Don't get me wrong, there's tons of added fat too but it's more obviously gross and bad than added sugar.
@@RandomDudeOne Look into going keto/carnivore. You won't be fat within a year but you have to deal with the skin issues and might have to have reduction surgery. I'd say you probably eat more sugar than you realize unless you eat nothing from a box or packaged foods. Here is the biggest driver of obesity: Vegetable/seed oils. In a study from the '60's that was hidden and not published until found by a phd graduate candidate about 10 years ago= They had 4 groups of rats.The first group was fed polyunsaturated fat( corn oil/soy/canola) at 25% of the calories. Control rats were fed a commercial rat chow.2nd group were fed 25% high fructose sugar and the last group were fed dried beef with 25% beef fat. They were fed these diets until death. The worst performing group were the veg oil group with the last one dying at 500 days.The next worst group were the high fructose all dead by 700 days.The control group were all dead by 800 days. The best group were the dried beef/tallow group at over 1000 days. The veg oil group were twice as fat as the beef group and here's a message for humanity"ALL THE GROUPS EXCEPT THE BEEF OFFSPRINGS WERE DEAD BEFORE THE 2 GENERATION COULD REPRODUCE.
Sugar is ABSOLUTELY an addiction. I've always been fit and an athlete my whole life. Competed in full contact martial arts until in my forties. Had a heart attack at 59 because of atherosclerosis. Made a full recovery and discovered it was my lifelong sweet tooth that had caused severe insulin resistance. I've cut down drastically on my sugar intake, and only eating 2x a day, doing intermittent fasting 2x a week. Made lots of other changes as well, mostly dietary. But the craving never goes away.

Dr. Hansen, do you know why people like me have increased heart rate, and now high blood pressure as result of Covid? Im 53yrs old woman, alwsys had low normal blood pressure (90's/50'), now 138/77. Resting heart rate before 65-67, now 90's. I have hard time climbing stairs, or exercising. Thank you for considering my quesrion. Love your videos and the information you provide. ❤
Look into POTS. My brother had symptoms of POTS for over a year after he had Covid. His doctor refused to acknowledge long Covid and told him it was in his head. He takes NAC and probiotics and he’s doing much better but it took a year and a half almost 2 years.
Amazing! A pulmonary and critical care doctor who switches and doesn't talk about the pulmonary field so he can bring up something more of a problem - sugar!
Old folks in my extended family lived into their mid to late 90's. Ate copious amounts of sugars of all types & cooked with lard. How do you account for that? I forgot to mention they were on the farm, worked hard every day and had little stress in their lives. Went to bed early and got up with the first rooster crow. Sedentary they definitely were not.
@@cindyjohnson1025 Yeah, you right. My grandmother came for ah visit and when my mother showed her tha Crisco, my grandmother's response was ... what is that?
To make the transition don't just focus on eliminating all sugar at once. Start by ADDING whole fresh meats and vegetables. Make yourself eat your healthy foods first and as your body gets nourished it will be easier to let go of the sugar and treats. Try hard boiled eggs for a treat when you're desperate :) Do it one by one or it's overwhelming and you'll be discouraged and quit the plan.
Any suggestions for breakfast? I have been cutting back on the snacks (love chips,soda, little debbies) but I don't enjoy savory food in the morning. I usually have a banana and some cashews, coffee but I really love a little pastry or cookie in the morning.
@@EmilyEmilyEmily01 Yikes! You just listed probably the ten worst foods NOT to eat at any time of day ,lol. Okay so what savory foods do you like regardless of time of day? I don't tolerate a heavy meal in the morning myself so I have a cup of bone broth and 1 or 2 hard boiled eggs at 10am. Have you been following any of the keto or carnivore experts? if not, start with DR. Eric Berg. He has a million videos on nutrition and how to eat. Do you like bacon? A lot of bacon have a bit of added sugar in it but it might be a good way to wean yourself off of a total meal of sugar. Eat until you're stuffed - don't worry about calories at this point. And I would also find a way to give up the soda - it's a killer, probably #1 on the list of toxic foods. Try LMNT chocolate flavor. It's actually a mineral supplement to mix with water. It contains stevia (not as bad as sugar) and has a great flavor. go to their website and order a sample pack.
@@curiouscat3384 yeah I have the taste buds of a 5 year old haha but I do much better than even 5 years ago. I just love having coffee and something sweet in the morning. I do enjoy bacon just not usually in the mornings. I can give it a try since it's relatively easy to prepare.
@@EmilyEmilyEmily01 eat satiating foods like, eggs, meat, cheese and cut out the carbs, basically a keto diet. After a while you won't even need to eat breakfast. I usually don't eat breakfast. Just lunch and dinner.
Try zero carb/carnivore. I started doing that two years ago and have been craving free since!! I’m so relieved that that sugar monkey is off my back. I’ve also had health issues clear up and am in much better heath.
Thanks a Million for the Info on 'SUGAR" GREAT BLESSINGS YOUR WAY, APPRECIATE YOUR HELP ON INCREASING SENIORS KNOWLEDGE ON SUGAR, WHO ARE LAST TO KNOW ON HEALTH & DIET IMPORTANCE
What’s insidious is sugar is slipped into almost every form of processed food. When you account for sugar intake, many food products are simply overlooked.
Im grateful this video came up. I gave up smoking 14 years ago. But took on sugar instead. But -not THAT much (i THINK). But I’ve been thinking lately, that maybe I’m a candidate for diabetes , to me a horrible fate. But there’s other things I hadn’t thought of caused by sugar ! I hope i can achieve less sugar, thank you for the video Dr.
When I first heard about the idea of regulating sugar like a drug, I thought it was ridiculous government overreach. After listening to this and many other similar stories, I 100% support it. If enough people are provided with the ability to make a poor choice, it doesn’t just affect them, rather it affects all of us. It’s not only sugar that should be regulated, it’s highly glycemic processed food like enriched wheat and white rice too. The diabetes and obesity epidemics are also compromising national security. I say the best way to regulate sugar is through taxes. It’s quite amazing this is not a national issue but it needs to be.
Could you please do a follow up that explans that sugar/carbohydrates are not one thing? And focus on harm reduction? Ex. If a person is craving carbs, a bowl of barley will cause much less of a sugar spike than a bowl of white rice. Or if you get a coffee and you have to pick between white sugar and agave as a sweetener, agave is the lesser evil. My mom was an R.D. so I grew up with this. But most people have NO idea what to pick if presented with a limited number of choices.
Great suggestion! Dr. Hansen shows great sugar alternatives in his healthy smoothie recipe videos. I have yet to actually try to make his smoothies, but I really do need to get on it.
of course you can, maybe you haven't "yet", but you CAN! A true addict must abstain, but given that sugar is "everywhere" and "normalized", we are constantly tricked into the idea that avoiding "excess" is possible. You cannot break a habit, or an addiction, you are still practicing. Stop, just stop, and eat lots of anything else until the craving subsides - and it will. Ps my mottos used to be like "cake is only a carrier for frosting" and "I never met a sugar I didn't loooove and want a whole lot more of"! If I can abstain and be free, so can you. God bless ❤🙏❤️

I was diagnosed in 2018 with Frontal temporal dementia. I found out early in my diagnoses that sugar was bad. I was a sugar addict. I've cut at least 90 percent of sugar from my diet and I think it's slowed down my progression. I believe this totally.
Does fasting help improve this too? Best of luck with everything
My father had frontal temporal dementia the last years of his life. I suspect that my Mom cooking good food for him helped slow the progression, because he lived years longer than expected. All the best. Carpe diem.
It is tough to cut out sugar, good for you!! All the best going forward
I wondered about this. I hope you the brst.
That must be tough! Stay strong!
My mom suffered for 40 years due to insulin resistance (tooth loss, severe depression, obesity, then diabetes II and dementia.) I am convinced none of it was hereditary. Her diet was toxic and she didn’t know it. She succumbed to her illness after exposure to COVID. I was a guardian for 25 years and people balked at me when I brought up her diet.
A doctor finally said it recently, sugar is as addictive as cocaine, because it works on the same dopamine receptors. There is no accident that companies knew this and put it in everything. They should be ashamed. So sad.
RIP MOM ❤

There was a book back in the 1970s called Sugar Blues. It broke down chemically how sugar and heroin are the same structures and equally addictive. Actress Gloria Swanson spoke out against the addictive of sugar even then.

I quit cocaine after binging for weeks and I did it cold turkey. That was 35 yrs ago. Still can’t quit my sugar addiction so I’d say it’s a much greater addiction
My hubby (who’s a type 2 diabetic), and I (who was on the edge of being diagnosed), drastically changed our eating at the beginning of March. He’s lost 23 pounds, his blood sugars have stabilized, his A1C has dropped from 9.4 to 7.3 in ONE MONTH!) and I’ve lost 20 pounds. Sugar is going to kill us longgggg before anything else ever will.
It isn't sugar. Type 2 Diabetes didn't exist until the intro of high fructose corn syrup in 1970. That's probably the culprit. Sugar has been around since the 15th century. The best sugar to use is called Evaporated Cane Juice which is nothing more than unrefined sugar. It has vastly different properties and that's the type people used in colonial America. Unrefined sugar retains its nutrients and has no chemical changes to its properties. It's the same way with unrefined salt vs refined salt. I had two bags of sugar in my cabinet and one day, I saw the unrefined evaporated cane juice bag moving around. I looked inside and at least 100 ants were inside actively feeding on it. The other bag, which was refined sugar, had only 2 ants in it and both were dead.
@@pollypurree1834 Interesting ant story but not surprising :) Don't you think it's also the volume of refined sugars of all types? I don't know how many years it took for mfrs to add sugar to virtually every processed food, but I think sugar was more a luxury pre-industrialization.
@@curiouscat3384 Sugar was very common in colonial American cooking. They used unrefined sugar. Insects and mold know instinctively which foods are bad. If mold and insects don't want it, you don't either.

@@pollypurree1834 in ancient Egypt it was called the urination disease. Type 2 diabetes has been around for thousands of years
And who pushed this agenda in the early 1950s on humanity in the American food supply? The sugar industry knew their products would cause dental and massive health issues since the 1950s, but they worked with our government agencies (cigarette-ad-campaign-style) to ensure we wouldn’t know the true damage sugar could cause until we were all addicted.
Our government knew, they covered it up to further big corporations.
But you can thank the Nixon administration for high fructose corn syrup…

Wow, this is the best presentation I've ever seen on TH-cam. Short, to the point, uncomplicated, just laying out the simple facts.

Cancer cells feed on sugar, carbohydrates.
I appreciate that you repeat this message frequently! Heaven knows I need to hear it frequently!
Seriously!! As guilty as Dr. Hansen makes me feel for eating too much sugar, I know he does it because he really cares about us. ❤️
Everyone on the planet needs this information. Thank you Doctor
Those of us who follow a carnivore diet knew this already. The main stream media doesn't tell you this because their parent company owns food processing plants and doesn't want to hurt their bottom line.
In the Philippines, more than 10% of the population or over 13 million have diabetes. A huge number still don't know they have the disease, this is primarily due to sugar addiction and too much carbohydrate in their diet. Thanks for very informative health series.
you all also need to stop throwing thrash in the ocean.
No politician is concerned about the peoples health, they only care about making sure they’ve manipulated peoples minds
It's even worse here. Most of the American population has diabetes and doesn't realize it...until they actually drop dead! 😟
Filipinos eat and consume quite bit of sugar. They use it in everything. They also eat an overabundance of white rice. And many, drink tons of Coca-Cola too. All pre-cursors to Diabetes. When I married my Filipina wife, I stopped her from so much white rice and had her to start eating Brown rice and Quinoa. She also cut back on her sugars at least 60%. She is no longer Pre-diabetes.
@ Rice is life , but rice is sugar
After moving to Europe a few years ago my diet has improved 100%. Sugar is reduced significantly in products here so certain foods taste less sweet. I no longer miss sugar and I'm surprised at how many natural foods are still just to sweet for me.
Where are you? Italy still loves their sweets, but they are usually just a breakfast thing. I agree will overdo sugar here - not sure why, but I think it masks the horrible chemical taste of everything premade.
@gaybrielle hastings beautiful 💯💯💯🧔🏾♂️
@@globalfamily8172 Probably the quantities. It is unusual in Europe to see a person holding a 900ml soda drink.
I feel like people have been duped, tricked, and groomed into suffering from metabolic syndrome and sugar addiction, and it has gotten worse in the last few generations. Had I known breakfast cereals were such bad news, I would have never eaten them, or continued to eat them. Fruit juice is presented as so healthy, but now I know it is a sugar bomb. Had I known eating pasta day in and day out was a horrible idea, I would not have carried on that past college (basically all I could afford in college). I could say I haven't suffered from sugar addiction, but I LOVE bread. Begrudgingly I have gone to limiting myself to 1 slice at no more than 2 meals a day. Decades ago, I did realize and conclude drinking sugared soda all day might mimick being diabetic as your blood would be full of sugar all day, and I stopped that! I wish I had been blessed with this knowledge many decades ago. If I had kids nowadays, there definitely would not be any breakfast cereal or juice, and some other items in the house or on their plate.
You might enjoy sour dough or sprouted grain bread? I'm glad you are taking good care of your self!
Because doctors are talking to you like you would live for ever and never have desease if you are eating healthy food all the time, which is not the case obviously because human as a whole have emotions, social interaction (hopefully), so basically what you eat is only a tiny part of the whole thing.
If doctors were so right, we would see them living a longer life compare to the rest of us.
Studies have shown that people living happy and for a long period are those people surrounded by a lot of other people, and not alone.
We are social being, with emotions that can create desease. Just like the father in the next house, he did lose his son, and he also died few months later without any health problem before.
I think accepting fat people and telling them it's ok to be like that, because we don't want to be rude, is becoming the main problem, making the sugar argument and presence irrelevant.
Dieticians have lied for years about sugar and carbs being fine and not related to diabetes.
I remember watching a programme about a well known chocolate company. They openly boasted that adding salt to a sweet substance, ie chocolate or caramel, tricked the taste buds into eating more as it wasn't so sweet!
Yes! Especially the boomer generation. They were entirely tricked on purpose!!! I was educated in biochemistry of the body which was what taught me what foods do inside the body. I immediately told everyone I knew to stop eating trans fat and high fructose corn syrup. But the biochemistry of them was never common knowledge until recently. I wish we would educate the children deeply in nutrition. But the education is so behind. And on purpose, they want their profits!!! When something you wouldn’t allow inside your body is manipulation inside it, its such a terrible feeling to find out!!!

Excellent advice because once you realise that the food industry is your drug pusher and is making sure almost everybody stays addicted and that you can ease it off by systematically reducing intake, and that on the other side of that you're going to feel much much better, it makes it at least possible to get free.
I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes 4months ago. Big wake up call! I since have stopped eating sugar and lowered my carb intake and I now no longer have diabetes. I also had crippling knee pain from osteoarthritis and now I have very little pain. I’ve also lost 25lbs. Sugar/processed carbs were literally killing me! Feel so much better now!!
My friend did the same. Totally changed his diet and no longer diabetic.
Organic cane sugar is NOT the problem. High Fructose Corn Syrup is the problem. It's in everything now. It's chemical crack called "sugar" but it is NOT SUGAR!! IT IS POISON MADE IN A LAB AND IT HAS MERCURY IN IT! I call it "Franken Sugar"...I wish people would learn the truth and stop blaming "sugar"....nobody was fat in the 1950s- early 80s and they ate CANE SUGAR all the time!

Hi Mike! I'm 72, and I went from an A1c of 9.6 to 5.1 in six months doing a high fat and high protein diet. When I was young, people wanted a doctor with gray hair because it was thought that it was a sign of experience. Those were the doctors that made us sick. Now I want a doctor that looks younger, a lot younger. You are almost too old, but still in the 'good' range. By the way, my gray hair went back to its original color, it's a thing, you can look it up.
You're doing a great job man, keep up the good work.
I am also 72 and have been diabetic for 10 years, but never knew that it could be reversed until this year, when I found out by accident. I am also on a low carb diet (with an 8hr feeding window) and my fasting blood sugar is down to 6.1 mmol, and in a few weeks i expect it to be normal at 5.5 or less. I am not sure which is worse, a doctor who tells you nothing, or a doctor who gives false information!
@@Alan_Clark Boy, that's the truth! We got confused and thought that Doctors take care of our health. They are consultants. We are the doctors. They knew how to treat T2 in the Civil War.
High fat / high protein is not good for your arteries, especially if it's coming from animal fat/proteins. Sometimes skinny with fat arteries is more dangerous than being obese, etc. 'Cause it's the hidden dangers you can't see on the outside that get you (atherosclerosis, dementia, etc. [narrowing of the arteries that supply the heart, brain, etc.])

Please people follow this Doctor’s advice, you cannot imagine how it will change your life! Love from Alsace, France ❤
Yes !
I find the info about grains a bit confusing.
The bible talks a lot about grains & flat bread so I can't see grains as being bad for us.
However , the soil we grow grains in is defecienrt in nutrients and seeds are GM .
Also how grains are processed etc all of these factors may make grains unsuitable for consumption today .
There never used to be gluten intolerance and now everyone has it.
So what has changed to make a biblical food into a poison ?
That's how I see it. A change to make it harmful to us
@@zerotoleranceforsataniceli4794 grains are usually sprayed with glyphosate a couple days before harvest to dry them quickly and evenly. It never has chance to leave the grain. So in actual fact it is glyphosate intolerance not gluten. Chances are pure, clean, non-GMO grains will not cause the same issues. Same as raw, organic milk and dairy products from organic grass-fed cows is generally not a problem for dairy intolerant folk. I’m not saying 100% but generally.
Sugar Blues is a great read.
All grains are hybrid now.
Me too! Age 75, no meds. Thanks to Dr. Berg I started this ten years ago.
All it took was for me was to find out that I’m pre-diabetic. I almost feel like I am being tortured having to give up sweets, added sugar- honey added to tea etc. -- BUT -- I never ever realized how much added sugar there is in processed food - which I’ve had to stay away from also. Once you start reading the labels regarding sugar and carbs - it is beyond ridiculous -- and scary that people don’t know and realize this. It has not been easy to do and I have fallen off the wagon a few times - but my sugar intake has reduced drastically.
I was told some years ago that I was pre diabetic. fast forward today I've cut down on sugar so much. It ruined my skin to the point I developed eczema on my neck and scalp. When I told my Dr that the sugar was the cause of my newly developed skin condition he responded that there's no evidence that this is the case. I knew better and stopped eating sugary foods and the eczema disappeared after 2 weeks.
Don't give up, I reduced my intake sugar to 0, is not easy but it is possible.
Stevia and erythritol are good substitutes that don’t raise blood glucose. Don’t let perfection be the enemy of good 😊
@@carlosvillegas6113do you consume fruits?

I quit consuming sugar one month ago and I'm feeling good.
I'm trying to explain that to a kid with an Easter basket right now
Good for you ! I’m currently working on breaking the sugar addiction
JUST HOW do you COMPLETELY do this?
In my house we separate “treats” from “snacks”.
A treat is a rare food that is negative to your health, but is okay once in a while.
A snack is a neutral or positive food you eat in between meals with moderation daily; nuts/fruits/tortilla chips with salsa/veggies/plain yogurt with cinnamon etc… it’s worked well so far!!
Thanks Mike for a great summary. Presentations of this sort are a real help for public health. No more sugar in coffee for me.
@davidgodfrey3322: Don’t go crazy with artificial sweeteners either because they are VERY bad for you. Do some research on that.
Dextrose and Stevia, I believe are ok in coffee! I need to stop having candy, + cookies and watch how much sugar is in food!
I think the biggest epidemic is that sugar consumption starts as a very young child, by parents, and other relatives, including elementary school promoting the use of candy and deserts, including quick tetra Pak juices, canned soda, and even homemade juices. When it's starts as a child, the child continues with this thinking until it's too late.

As a Granny, my Grandchildren don't expect sweets when I visit. I have still got a sweet tooth and as a baby I was initially fed on sugar and water in the hospital.

Thank you doctor. I watched my father’s life fall apart because of his relationship to sugar and diabetes. It was horrible. I have cut sugar out of my life and I cannot tell you how healthy I feel at 56. I am trim and bouncy as I ever have been. No medication, full head of hair, and my eyesight is still perfect.

The second to last sentence says it all.... Just sayin
A year ago around my 65th birthday, I discovered after eating a piece of cake for my birthday and got a terrible gut ache of nothing I'd ever had before! Felt like I got sucker punched in the gut! Several of these sort of episodes caused me to stop all sugar, grains, and processed foods! I can't say I've always good days, but my health has improved and yes I've lost weight. I had to work on elimination of things I thought was good for me that really wasn't. It's a life change and there's still digestive issues. I eat much more healthy now. I even found a family farm that grows their own grain and all foods are organic as you can buy from them locally!
You really butchered that first sentence...

It's not that hard to understand but I'll explain it to you so people eat unhealthy when they are in their 20's because of ignorance and lack of knowledge and care for health but these bad habits will continue till they are old and even their problems will if they don't fix it before it's too late. @@pattybaselines

When he opened The Book he saw all the candy bar wrappers my wife had been using as place markers: she was never without one at the ready. My wife once quipped, "I can't understand why I can't lose weight." When I told her that it might have something to do with all sugary sodas and candy bars she consumed, I saw steam coming out her ears and she didn't speak to me for three days.

Thank you for informing us on the sugar-addiction crisis in America. This needs to be taught in schools and reflected in our school menus. Also companies need to remove unnecessary sugar from our food. 👍
The problem is that the sugar they remove will be replaced with something unnatural and even worse for us. This is what they do now with “Low Fat” or “No Sugar” products. What unnatural and GMO ingredients do they add to replace fat and sugar? Harmful additives preservatives and sugar substitutes of all kinds that wreak havoc on our digestive and nervous systems.
The answer is really just to recognize that most of the foods on shelves and fridges/freezers in your grocery store aren’t really food. It is up to you to stay away from those sections and stick around the produce section. Make your own sauces and stuff from whole foods and fresh seasonings and herbs.
Another one of you "this needs to be taught in school 🏫" folks.
Well, surprise, it is, and so are many useful things, which is why education is stressed.
Not to mention everyone in 1st world countries have access to the internet.
Lesson here: just because something is taught doesn't mean it will be applied.
If that was the case, illegal drugs and many other social ills would've been eradicated decades ago.
Human nature is far more complex. 😶
As a teacher, I have such an issue with “This should be taught in schools.” Most children do not shop for groceries or prepare the meals they eat. That’s a parental responsibility. Most of the problems with young people today are not due to their lack of knowledge of nutrition, but to lazy, irresponsible parents who don’t care enough about their children’s health to educate themselves on healthy diets, and follow through to provide them.
Stop trying to shift more parenting obligations onto teachers. We have our own families to raise.
The food pyramid needs to be corrected and redone and posted in drs offices and school lunchrooms. That will at least give people a visual of what is recommended.
Companies have needs? What about the needs of people?
About 20 years ago there were about 50 names for sugar. Food companies have been busy making up new names for sugar.

Very appreciative of your videos, Dr H!!! Your wisdom is saving lives.
I would love to see you dive into the differences (or similarities) between sugar and lactose and why and how they are different or the same.
I couldn't lose weight to save my life and I'd already cut out sugar years before. I was eating healthy cereal, healthy brown bread and while wheat pasta and rice. I then found out that these carbs convert to sugar in the body. I quit bread, pasta, rice, noodles and potatoes and got my carbs under 20 grams per day. I switched to healthy high fat and moderate protein. In ten months, I lost 103 pounds and reversed prediabetes - as well as ridding myself of joint inflammation.
The key is to learn about keto and how to integrate it with intermittent fasting. It requires a little paradigm shift, but it is well worth it
I'm three years in now and I've maintained my weight loss to date, while I'll never return to conventional junk food.
The glycemic index (rate at which a food makes your blood sugar go up) is higher for Cheerios cereal than it is for just spooning table sugar right into your mouth! It's amazing.
@@alexcarter8807 And to think that some studies are funded by the food industry...making cereals appear healthy when they clearly are not. What a scandal.
@@alexcarter8807 WOW, thanks for your Info!!
Organic cane sugar is NOT the problem. High Fructose Corn Syrup is the problem. It's in everything now. It's chemical crack called "sugar" but it is NOT SUGAR!! IT IS POISON MADE IN A LAB AND IT HAS MERCURY IN IT! I call it "Franken Sugar"...I wish people would learn the truth and stop blaming "sugar"....nobody was fat in the 1950s- early 80s and they ate CANE SUGAR all the time! When these evil monsters replaced it with HFCS is when all the obesity began to sky rocket. Vanderbilt University did a study using two groups of rats. The first group was fed a normal diet with cane sugar water. The other group was fed the same diet with HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP water. The first group maintained their same weight throughout the study. The second group that got the "franken sugar" water developed OBESITY AND DIABETES!
The reason people could eat bread and sugar in the 40s through early 80s was because it was NATURAL CANE SUGAR, not the chemical crack they use in everything today known as High Fructose Corn Syrup (HCFS). In addition, the bread back then was healthy NON GENETICALLY MODIFIED GRAINS, NOT SATURATED IN MONSANTOS ROUND UP and they added healthy, metabolism boosting IODINE to the bread back then as well. Today, these evil bastards who are pawns of satan add BROMINE instead of iodine to the mass produced bread products. This "bromine" is the main component in TERMITE POISON!!! This is why everyone is FAT because our bodies store the POISONS IN THE FAT TO PROTECT THE ORGANS!! THIS IS ALL DONE WITH MALICE

Thanks Dr. Hansen. I am type 2 diabetic and have controlled my A1c by carefully monitoring my diet. I have kept A1c at around 6.7. A lot of diabetics crave sugar and give in to the cravings. One of the things that helps me is taking fiber capsules. Please consider doing a video on that. 🤔
I gave up sodas and processed foods and processed sugar back in August. I do still use some honey and rarely brown sugar.
I feel so much better!!
At one time honey was considered a super-food.
@@chrismawata8755 it still is
Great summary, I'm happy to find your video.
We don't need dietary sugar, at all. But all of the processed foods are spiked with added sugar. Poisoned with added sugar, to be precise.
92.3% of people are livestock of the food industry (and pharma industry and insurance industry and so on..)
Thank you Dr Hansen for producing these videos!!!
As I went through my 40s I really started piling on the weight and ended up with really high blood pressure and always feeling tired and no energy along with a slew of pills to take for BP. I tried my best not to eat cheap crappy foods but the food I did eat was high fat and still a lot of sugar, in it not a great combination, and fizz drinks plus sweet snacks. I decided to get a private blood panel done a couple of Years ago and my metabolic markers were way out, all borderline high or low, basically I was overweight and was pre-diabetic, and this was knocking out my metabolic markers. I did manage to lose a bit of weight but it wasn't really enough, I was about 6 stone overweight at my worst and the weight just piled on again worse than ever.
The classic sugar addiction. I got the blood work done again recently and it was much the same. I am living on borrowed time, if I don't get this in check it will catch up with me. I did do a soups and shakes diet about 6 years ago and that brought my weight down about 4 stone in a 3 or 4 months, and I'm doing that again, the difference this time is I need to switch on to healthy meal plans after the initial weight loss, which I never done the first time.
Otherwise, looking at me you would never know I had such a problem but I'm trying to do something about it. I know there are many people just like me probably unaware of what is going on in their body and they won't know until it's too late. i know this will catch up with me if I don't address it. Doctors should do these blood panels as a a matter of course so people know what's going on, so they can do something about it.
Alcoholic at 50 from lifelong sugar addiction. Stopped the sugar, stopped the desire for alcohol. 17 yrs sober. Sugar not recognized by many as an addiction back then. I was clued in by an alcoholic with a new liver!
Well done you 👏, for beating it & for listening 👍
I know people who stopped drinking and THEN, developed a bad sweet tooth. In any case,congrats.!!
I usually do not eat many things that contain sugar. But there are so many things that contain hidden sugar that we don’t even know about. 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🙏🏼
Avoiding all processed foods is the way to go
Learning to always read the labels for added sugar and to avoid that would help tremendously.
Read label, example ketchup. Even the low sugar ketchup has sugar.
READ INGREDIENT LABELS

My husband we found out was diabetic. He was bad blood was 665.They put him on 8 insulin shots, then metformin 4 times a day 1000mg. The sugar came out through his eyes; he almost went blind twice, and while all this is happening his doctor told , The American Diabetes association and they met him at his doctor's office. They asked him to go around and speak, so he did a few times at colleges. He lost 235lb, We do not eat crud anymore, sugar, chips, soda so we hope we never have a fright like that again.
I'm interested when you say "the sugar came out through his eyes". Can you give me more detail please?

Unfortunately we all die... the surviving loved ones, especially those who have to see the slow process, also die a little bit each day. Live your life, if possible, with a smile, a good word to your fellow man/woman, and love your family and God. I wish I had more time to live by my own words. Happiness to ALL.

This is excellent information. I sure wish all medical doctors would discuss sugar In takes with their patients like this handsome Dr. Is telling us. Great video. I have about 10 people in mind to forward this too!💖💖
I've been taking care of a parent who is diabetic, overweight, has metabolic syndrome, including fatty liver, and this has triggered a litany of never ending health issues. For years I have been taking them to the clinic, hospital and it has taken such a huge toll on my personal life, it has limited me in personal activities and ruined romantic relationships... a huge chunk of this I'm understanding was the diet, sugary drinks, juices, little cakes, cereals and the "low-fat" (aka high sugar) diet craze.
I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic last year and was certain I was destined for the same fate. I stumbled upon channels like Dr. Hansen's, but also Dr. Berg's and I started intermittent fasting, nothing huge just skipping breakfast and going through straight to lunch just on coffee, cutting sugar (sugar IS everywhere once you start looking) and bread. I've cut back on eating out which honestly has ended up saving me tons of money. But I have legitimately annoyed everyone around me and it has been the hardest, going counter current to a lifetime of habits and perceptions.
I'm down 20 lbs and I look better than I've looked in the last 5 years and feel more energetic. Other family members have been following. I hope I can still get a shot at life. Thank you Dr. Hansen and Dr. Berg. You are doing God's work.

I quit smoking in 1987 after about five years of smoking. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. 👍
My Dad. Every symptom, especially dementia, described him before he passed. I can’t stand soft drinks, but that’s all he would drink, no plain water ever. I tried to convince him that spring water is heavenly, not like tap. He didn’t care, had to have his soda and nothing else. I tried to explain the need for probiotic rich foods, like fermented foods, that I love, but he was like a kid again. No vegetables, nothing fermented, nothing healthy, EWWW! I told him “probiotics help suppress candida yeast that release hormones that make you crave the sugar they need for food, and suppressing it will suppress cravings,” but I didn’t know what I was talking about. I even said “you’re German and you don’t like kraut?” He said “I’m not that German.” I should have tried harder. I love garlic ginger turmeric kraut, oh my lord it smells so heavenly, ambrosia! I’m eating some right now.
Cancer also craves sugar, that's why people die fast. They are feeding their newborn baby... cancer child, with sugar!
We had the same problem with our mother! It was horrible watching her slowly kill herself each day, a little at a time.
People in their old age still drink regular soda but not in excess including warren buffet for one can a day of coca cola. Water can be considered poisonous as some people do die every year due to excessive water consumption and the water lacking enough minerals (coca cola doesn't). Coca cola is just a form of tea: water, sugar, and herbs (it was invented by a doctor). I believe keeping the soda down to one can or less per day and avoid drinking water excessively as food does contain lots and lots of water.
I didn't know sugars cause hypertension. Excellent teaching, Excellent knowledge.
Spot on. One of the biggest issues that the industry wants to remain status quo so that the economies around sugar continue to flourish. 🤔😡
I knew a lot of this, but this is still a very sobering message.
I've given up sugar (for the umpteenth time) a few days ago. Man, am I grumpy today! 😊 I've experienced this often but I know it's the best way to go and after a couple weeks I'll feel good again.

Yep alcohol turns into sugar in your blood stream. Im a soda junkie. I once stopped it and drank only iced water for years. Im heading back and trying to do Bengal Spice herbal tea with stevia diluted with a decaf plain tea bag for iced tea. Its really good. Im getting off cream soda. I was a dr pepper addict.

My Grandmother was a health food fanatic, never ate sugar and lived to be 96. My mother in law was obese ate a high fat, salt, sugar diet and lived to be 90. Eating healthy definitely works but not eating healthy doesn't mean you're going to die young.
I'd rather live to a spry 96 than an obese 90. I know from experience, I am obese. Imagine living my next 50 years with mobility issues...naw.
George Burns smoked for 90+ years. So what?
Same, my Grandma NEVER ate healthy and only drank soda everyday, she wasn't obese at all, quite the opposite, and she lived untill almost 100, same with my next door neighbor, she passed in 2020 at almost 100 yrs old and she had a crazy sweet tooth and only drank soda, she didn't have ANY kind of illness, not even diabetes, she just died of old age, the same like my Grandmother... everyone is different.
🤍 Both my parents smoked cigarettes, drank alcohol, had poor diets. Both had long lives. Both took medications. One had several surgeries. Being aware of how our parents lived and died is valuable information. 🤍
You’re presenting this like they are equal. The reality is it’s not unusual for a healthy eating individual to reach 90, while it’s very rare for an obese individual to do so.
It’s a really bad take tbh.

As a 5th generation organic pineapple farmer (I only have 1 acre now) I will correct one thing:. Fresh pineapple in a mere blender is the same as whole fruit pineapple metabolically. The problematic kind of juice is when you discard the fiber or pulp. God made fruits with all the parts. I even eat the pineapple cores, they weren't meant to be cored out. Each of my family members eats a pineapple per day when we harvest. Amazing bromelain enzyme, fresh juice, flesh, and fiber have tremendous health benefits! @Doctor Mike Hansen. Doesn't matter whether if it is blended ina shake or eaten plain, same health benefits as long as you don't discard parts. The pineapples in the supermarket are sprayed with lots and lots of toxic chemicals unnecessarily and I would not touch them. Sugar is even more toxic now because it is HFCS and full of mercury, or genetically modified sugar beets sprayed with weed killer (the white crystals people buy in a bag labeled sugar is sugar beets), and even the sugar cane and stevia (unless organic) are sprayed with weed killer as a dessicant in the fields. A dose of chemical poison with each spoonful. That's contributed to the rapid acceleration of human and animal disease.
So the organic pineapple in Whole Foods, sometimes in other local food markets, are not really organic the label and ticket says there organic starts with a #9 are these truly organic pineapple if not than how do I get your organic pineapple?

Anecdotal experience: After years of itchy skin and jock itch, it slowly occurred to me that there was a correlation between high sugar foods and skin condition. I am on 6th day of low sugar regimen, using raisins and almonds for a sugar 'fix.' .......Within first 24 hrs itch was dramatically less. I'm guessing that it's yeast related. .......(Dermatologists seem unaware of sugar/skin itch connection.)

@@wendybee8854 I understand. You are right! But it's high in fibre. And it's not refined sugar. I'm open to following where this goes. Kind of an experiment that I am documenting for myself.

I had same itchy skin problem, when i quite eating these evil sugar foods the itchy skin problem went away, if i eat to much natural sugar in natural foods itchy skin problem comes back
I cut up 1 apple a day to for pieces n eat a piece every 2-4 hours usually, if i am doing hard work which requires lots of energy i eat more sometimes
@John C raisins are not high fiber, they are essentially a natural junk food. Only 5% of the carbs are fiber, and 75% is sugar. Compare to lentils, which has 50% carbs as fiber, only 3% as sugar.
Or compare to fresh raspberries, which have twice the fiber and 1/15 the sugar of raisins.

When I wasn't feeling well, I prepared a canned tomato soup. This was from the top canned soup brand in the U.S. I have eaten this kind of soup throughout my life and was shocked that this last can produced something sweeter than ketchup. This same brand of tomato soup did not taste like this previously. I see there were 12 g. sugar overall of which 8g were added.
Campbell's own their own tomato farm , mostly in Ohio. The recent Tomato crop probably needed the extra sugar because the tomatoes were not naturally sweet as they usually are. Can't sell sour tomato soup
It's a travesty. Even frozen diet dinners and many brands of peanut butter have added sugar. The only way to avoid it is to cook as much as possible from scratch using basic ingredients. Processed food are poison.
@@fannybuster Had a can the other day. It seemed different, no tomato flavor.
@@Katkit537 Yeah. I thought I was preparing comfort food and at least I added a can of milk to the condensed soup. The end result was sweeter than hot cocoa, so what the heck??? Is this what that company wants today's kids to remember? Tomato "soup" is just another sugary drink???? LOL!
@@fannybuster Interesting! Still, IMO, there was too much sugar in what I had. No tomato flavor. It reminded me of tales of people in Depression years who made tomato "soup" with ketchup and hot water if they could get the ketchup. I do a lot of cooking from scratch. I sometimes add a teaspoon of sugar to or maybe half a tablespoon of ketchup to, say a gallon, of stew as flavor enhancement to balance other tastes. It doesn't take much to do the job. With so many artificial flavorings commercially available today I'd think a big company would not just pour sugar into a product. Or maybe the new tomato "soup" is supposed to taste like a sugary drink? LOL!
Thank you Dr. Mke for this short and informative share!
Whenever I eat a processed food I can taste the sugar in it. This is true even for foods that most people would think had no sugar at all such as some peanut butters, bread, crackers, etc. Some say it is in fast food meat products, too.
Yes, in most packaged bacon - for one example.
I was on the higher end of normal sugar levels, I stopped sugar and all carbs 4 years ago and never looked back.
❤Can you give us a video on tips to beat sugar addiction?
Great suggestion!! In the meantime, check out some of Dr. Hansen's healthy smoothie recipes
Don't have sugary snacks or drinks in the house so when you crave it, it's not there to eat.
@@melissalee2522 true but I have a really fast metabolism and I stay hungry. I snack all day. I also have low energy due to compounding factors so snacks like apple cinnamon granola bars and coffee Hagen Daz ice cream bars are my jam lol
Why am I struggling to hear a fave doctor talking about something I love to hear.
The last pound of sugar purchased in this house was 5 years ago. And try to avoid all other kinds of glucose or fructose or wth.
Almost 88 years old. Still here, Dr. Mike.
Keep on trucking 😊
If you work in a telephone call center and need to give people confirmation/reference numbers, you usually give the person 3 characters at a time. As people get older, you must go down to 2 or 1 character at a time, depending on how bad their memory is.
My memory was getting so bad that I was down to copying only two numbers at a time. I went mostly carnivore, 100% gluten free, almost 100% seed oil free, and less that 20 grams of carbohydrates per day. After many months, I'm up to copying 4 numbers at a time.
I don't work in a call center but I find that I have to give people no more than 3 characters at a time no matter how old they are. Interestingly that most are young people under the age of 30. Even then, they will ask me to repeat myself because they forgot what I just said. Older people seem to be a little better.
I worked the call center line for JELL EGG JIGGLER MOLDS and a lady called in just to scream at me "DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH SUGAR IS IN THAT!" (The recipe is a cup of sugar or so concentrated into each egg-shaped hunk of Jell! but they sure were delicious!)
@@deva190 , hmmm. Usually, I found older people (ages 60 and up) to have memory problems. It was either the result of medications and/or of physical (brain) deterioration.
@@kimberlycooper4170 Yeah, that's probably true. I think a better way to say this should have been both age groups may have problems remembering three characters but for different reasons: older people may have memory issues but younger people have "attention to details" deficits.
I was gonna post something but I forgot what it was….
I was dx’d with post transplant diabetes Jan ‘23. Leaving sugar behind was not as hard as I thought it would be and I feel much better!!
I know a PA and he says that being fat, eating tons of sugar, is worse for people than smoking. He literally says that he would rather have a patient that smokes over a patient that eats tons of sugar.
What if your fat and don't eat tons of sugar?
@@RandomDudeOne that person is eating a ton of food. Even eating a lot of fat, enough to make me super big, would be disgusting. Like drinking cups of olive oil or something. Anyone would be grossed out by that I think. Most people get fat because there's tons of added sugar to their food.
Don't get me wrong, there's tons of added fat too but it's more obviously gross and bad than added sugar.
Maybe your PA is just a bigot. It happens.
@@RandomDudeOne Look into going keto/carnivore. You won't be fat within a year but you have to deal with the skin issues and might have to have reduction surgery. I'd say you probably eat more sugar than you realize unless you eat nothing from a box or packaged foods. Here is the biggest driver of obesity: Vegetable/seed oils. In a study from the '60's that was hidden and not published until found by a phd graduate candidate about 10 years ago= They had 4 groups of rats.The first group was fed polyunsaturated fat( corn oil/soy/canola) at 25% of the calories. Control rats were fed a commercial rat chow.2nd group were fed 25% high fructose sugar and the last group were fed dried beef with 25% beef fat. They were fed these diets until death. The worst performing group were the veg oil group with the last one dying at 500 days.The next worst group were the high fructose all dead by 700 days.The control group were all dead by 800 days. The best group were the dried beef/tallow group at over 1000 days. The veg oil group were twice as fat as the beef group and here's a message for humanity"ALL THE GROUPS EXCEPT THE BEEF OFFSPRINGS WERE DEAD BEFORE THE 2 GENERATION COULD REPRODUCE.
Probably because the smoker understands the consequences and the high sugar eater just shrugs and laughs it off?
Sugar is ABSOLUTELY an addiction. I've always been fit and an athlete my whole life. Competed in full contact martial arts until in my forties. Had a heart attack at 59 because of atherosclerosis. Made a full recovery and discovered it was my lifelong sweet tooth that had caused severe insulin resistance. I've cut down drastically on my sugar intake, and only eating 2x a day, doing intermittent fasting 2x a week. Made lots of other changes as well, mostly dietary. But the craving never goes away.
your craving for sugar may be due to your alcohol consumption. I have found my sugar craving vanish in the haze once I became a teetotaller.
Organic cane sugar is NOT the problem. High Fructose Corn Syrup is the problem. It's in everything now. It's chemical crack called "sugar" but it is NOT SUGAR!! IT IS POISON MADE IN A LAB AND IT HAS MERCURY IN IT! I call it "Franken Sugar"...I wish people would learn the truth and stop blaming "sugar"....nobody was fat in the 1950s- early 80s and they ate CANE SUGAR all the time! When these evil monsters replaced it with HFCS is when all the obesity began to sky rocket. Vanderbilt University did a study using two groups of rats. The first group was fed a normal diet with cane sugar water. The other group was fed the same diet with HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP water. The first group maintained their same weight throughout the study. The second group that got the "franken sugar" water developed OBESITY AND DIABETES!
The reason people could eat bread and sugar in the 40s through early 80s was because it was NATURAL CANE SUGAR, not the chemical crack they use in everything today known as High Fructose Corn Syrup (HCFS). In addition, the bread back then was healthy NON GENETICALLY MODIFIED GRAINS, NOT SATURATED IN MONSANTOS ROUND UP and they added healthy, metabolism boosting IODINE to the bread back then as well. Today, these evil bastards who are pawns of satan add BROMINE instead of iodine to the mass produced bread products. This "bromine" is the main component in TERMITE POISON!!! This is why everyone is FAT because our bodies store the POISONS IN THE FAT TO PROTECT THE ORGANS!! THIS IS ALL DONE WITH MALICE
Dr. Hansen, do you know why people like me have increased heart rate, and now high blood pressure as result of Covid? Im 53yrs old woman, alwsys had low normal blood pressure (90's/50'), now 138/77. Resting heart rate before 65-67, now 90's. I have hard time climbing stairs, or exercising. Thank you for considering my quesrion. Love your videos and the information you provide. ❤
Same with my husband and myself. Long COVID. Lasted about a year and a half. :-(
Look into POTS. My brother had symptoms of POTS for over a year after he had Covid. His doctor refused to acknowledge long Covid and told him it was in his head. He takes NAC and probiotics and he’s doing much better but it took a year and a half almost 2 years.
I suggest you talk to your doctor about it. There are dozens of possible conditions that could be causing your symptoms.
Zinc Carnosine
and Berberine might assist.
@@overworked1084 ❤
Amazing! A pulmonary and critical care doctor who switches and doesn't talk about the pulmonary field so he can bring up something more of a problem - sugar!
He’s been watching Dr. Fung. He should give credit where it’s due.
Dr. Mike, you're a good man!
Thank you for listing the links to the papers. I appreciated that.
Old folks in my extended family lived into their mid to late 90's. Ate copious amounts of sugars of all types & cooked with lard. How do you account for that? I forgot to mention they were on the farm, worked hard every day and had little stress in their lives. Went to bed early and got up with the first rooster crow. Sedentary they definitely were not.
You answered your own question.
They burned it off. Lard is better than processed oils.
@@cindyjohnson1025 Yeah, you right. My grandmother came for ah visit and when my mother showed her tha Crisco, my grandmother's response was ... what is that?
Since they were using lard they probably didn't eat many trans fats.
To make the transition don't just focus on eliminating all sugar at once. Start by ADDING whole fresh meats and vegetables. Make yourself eat your healthy foods first and as your body gets nourished it will be easier to let go of the sugar and treats. Try hard boiled eggs for a treat when you're desperate :) Do it one by one or it's overwhelming and you'll be discouraged and quit the plan.
Any suggestions for breakfast? I have been cutting back on the snacks (love chips,soda, little debbies) but I don't enjoy savory food in the morning. I usually have a banana and some cashews, coffee but I really love a little pastry or cookie in the morning.
@@EmilyEmilyEmily01 Yikes! You just listed probably the ten worst foods NOT to eat at any time of day ,lol. Okay so what savory foods do you like regardless of time of day? I don't tolerate a heavy meal in the morning myself so I have a cup of bone broth and 1 or 2 hard boiled eggs at 10am. Have you been following any of the keto or carnivore experts? if not, start with DR. Eric Berg. He has a million videos on nutrition and how to eat. Do you like bacon? A lot of bacon have a bit of added sugar in it but it might be a good way to wean yourself off of a total meal of sugar. Eat until you're stuffed - don't worry about calories at this point. And I would also find a way to give up the soda - it's a killer, probably #1 on the list of toxic foods. Try LMNT chocolate flavor. It's actually a mineral supplement to mix with water. It contains stevia (not as bad as sugar) and has a great flavor. go to their website and order a sample pack.
@@curiouscat3384 yeah I have the taste buds of a 5 year old haha but I do much better than even 5 years ago. I just love having coffee and something sweet in the morning. I do enjoy bacon just not usually in the mornings. I can give it a try since it's relatively easy to prepare.
@@EmilyEmilyEmily01 eat satiating foods like, eggs, meat, cheese and cut out the carbs, basically a keto diet. After a while you won't even need to eat breakfast. I usually don't eat breakfast. Just lunch and dinner.
@@EmilyEmilyEmily01 I have one cup of coffee and greek yogurt every morning... Oikos Triple Zero to which I add granola.
It is really difficult to break the sugar cycle!
It's only difficult because you choose to make it difficult.
Why break the cycle. Unless we eat like an animal.
Try zero carb/carnivore. I started doing that two years ago and have been craving free since!! I’m so relieved that that sugar monkey is off my back. I’ve also had health issues clear up and am in much better heath.
Thanks a Million for the Info on 'SUGAR" GREAT BLESSINGS YOUR WAY, APPRECIATE YOUR HELP ON INCREASING SENIORS KNOWLEDGE ON SUGAR, WHO ARE LAST TO KNOW ON HEALTH & DIET IMPORTANCE
Excellent video. Everyone should watch this.
What’s insidious is sugar is slipped into almost every form of processed food. When you account for sugar intake, many food products are simply overlooked.
Thank you - This video that you made is Brilliant !!!
Im grateful this video came up. I gave up smoking 14 years ago. But took on sugar instead. But -not THAT much (i THINK). But I’ve been thinking lately, that maybe I’m a candidate for diabetes , to me a horrible fate. But there’s other things I hadn’t thought of caused by sugar ! I hope i can achieve less sugar, thank you for the video Dr.
When I first heard about the idea of regulating sugar like a drug, I thought it was ridiculous government overreach. After listening to this and many other similar stories, I 100% support it. If enough people are provided with the ability to make a poor choice, it doesn’t just affect them, rather it affects all of us. It’s not only sugar that should be regulated, it’s highly glycemic processed food like enriched wheat and white rice too. The diabetes and obesity epidemics are also compromising national security. I say the best way to regulate sugar is through taxes. It’s quite amazing this is not a national issue but it needs to be.
Great point, old but great! Thank you. The question arises, why hasn't the fda reported this? The answer will sicken all researchers. God Bless.
Could you please do a follow up that explans that sugar/carbohydrates are not one thing? And focus on harm reduction?
Ex. If a person is craving carbs, a bowl of barley will cause much less of a sugar spike than a bowl of white rice. Or if you get a coffee and you have to pick between white sugar and agave as a sweetener, agave is the lesser evil.
My mom was an R.D. so I grew up with this. But most people have NO idea what to pick if presented with a limited number of choices.
Great suggestion! Dr. Hansen shows great sugar alternatives in his healthy smoothie recipe videos. I have yet to actually try to make his smoothies, but I really do need to get on it.
A tiny pinch of Celtic or Himalayan salt in coffee/tea will sweeten/drastically reduce the need for sugar.
@@beloveddaughter8585 Thanks, I've tried regular salt and found it helps a bit, but will try Himalayan.
Must avoid excess.
But can we ?
of course you can, maybe you haven't "yet", but you CAN! A true addict must abstain, but given that sugar is "everywhere" and "normalized", we are constantly tricked into the idea that avoiding "excess" is possible. You cannot break a habit, or an addiction, you are still practicing. Stop, just stop, and eat lots of anything else until the craving subsides - and it will. Ps my mottos used to be like "cake is only a carrier for frosting" and "I never met a sugar I didn't loooove and want a whole lot more of"! If I can abstain and be free, so can you. God bless ❤🙏❤️
