It’s horrible. I am 10 years clean from alcohol and a couple of other outside issues. I just got over withdrawal from sugar and refined carbs, and believe me, I had withdrawals. Maybe because of my past opioid use, but it was close to that withdrawal. Whole body pain, insomnia, you name it. Doing much better now and I feel so much better! My brain functions are back after damn near dementia, and I have more stamina, and can feel joy for a change.😂 Plus I’m skinny again. I highly recommend quitting.
Welcome to the club of good health. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

😊😊
I kicked alcohol 2 1/2 years ago, but I don’t know if there is any “other side” for me about sugar. 😢 I have a criminal amygdala.
Thank you for your posting! I have insomnia, severe short term memory loss that’s scaring me and whole body pain that I couldn’t relate to any particular activity. My doctor ordered bloodwork that didn’t reveal a cause. But sugar addiction screams loud and clear. I am a sugar addict but I didn’t realize what I was experiencing was from sugar. Certainly makes sense now. This very day, April 14, 2024 is the first day of my going off sugar and with the Lord’s grace being successful!
High fructose corn syrup is the drug bastard of all sugars. Great vid gentleman. Thx
This is so true. You can eat straight up sugar cubes and they aren't nearly as sweet tasting as things made with that crap
It was Dr Lustig who convinced me to quit sugar. It just took a couple of years of watching his video. Then I knocked out coffee and alcohol. Thanks Dr. Rob.
Me too.
He says he loves coffee.
This interviewer asked questions I’ve wondered about for years, especially about artificial fibers and protein powder. Very helpful video.
In love with Dr. Robert Lustig ❤️
He is telling you what you want to hear. Unfortunately that is far removed from the truth. Are you so dumb to think sugar is more responsible than other foods for so many overweight people? You don't believe cheeseburgers without the bun,, pepperoni cauliflower crust pizza, chicken wings, bacon and eggs, keto ice scream, T-bone steaks, and fried chicken won't make you fat? C'mon use your brain. Sugar consumption has declined significantly in the USA in the last twenty years. Obesity has kept going up at the same rate.
Dr Lustig is very passionate about human anatomy and public health.
What *is* surprising is his admission about caffeine - as it's a cerebral vasoconstrictor and considering how important white brain matter is, you would think he might eschew it in that regard. I imagine most things in moderation are equally helpful.
@@mark-ishHe said it with a modicum of irony.
This video was a pleasure.. Got straight to the point.. Not a lot of mindless chatter.. Thank you!! ❤
I am starting utube sugar anonymous😂 Hi my name is Garry and I am a sugar addict 66 years now. It started in 1958 in first grade when my Catholic Grammar School first grade opened the candy locker in the back of the classroom every day at lunchtime with the most awesome display of candy one could have ever imagined!
First grade? 😅. I am one two. Cannot eat 80% of food because of
sodium and sugar (expensive candy ).
I would like to see more (ANY) studies done to test how reducing sugar can help fight cancer. Without going into detail... I was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer, was at stage 4. The DNA testing on the tumor estimated a 5 year life expectancy. I followed the recommended life extension treatments. I ALSO eliminated ALL sugar sources from my diet. NOW, I am testing as cancer free in under one year! AND I lost over 80 pounds and feel great. No longer on blood pressure pills. In my opinion, if your Doctor / Nutritionist do not recommend on every visit that you switch to a LOW sugar or Sugar Free Diet, you need to take action for yourself and even look for another health care practitioner.
Wholeheartedly agree! Most ppl dont have the discipline to do this
You can't eliminate your blood sugar, you need it to survive. This is glucose in your blood. I have read that cancer cells need more sugar than normal cells. Web MD says cancer cells need 200 times as much glucose. Web MD also says that being fat can cause cancer and high insulin can cause cancer. Then it says eating a lot of sugar does cause spikes in insulin, so during the spikes the cancer could initiate. So best to lose weight and keep your blood sugar down.
You might enjoy dr John mcdougal re diet. Smart, caring, knowledgeable re diet/health
I’ve listened to many of Dr Lustig’s videos but this one is my favorite!
Excellent video!!
Thank you both!
Thanks again Dr. Lustig and Doug for trying to help others.
Super helpful video! Thank you Doug and Dr. Robert for your valuable information and your nice presentation on Warning Signs You’re Eating Too Much Sugar! Keep up the good work! Warm greetings from Melbourne of Australia!
Great interview. A lot of new content covered I haven't heard of in previous vids. Especially that of fruit, protein, and the addiction emphasis on sugar dependency.
In the first 5 minutes of this video, Dr.Lustig helped me to understand the down regulation of dopamine. He's an amazing teacher ❤️
16:50 into the video for advice to quit.
@user-kc7mu4jp4pnot sure why you would consider that person is doing something wrong, lol.
Wonderful interview, many thanks! 👏
I've shared it with relevant ppl in my life.
Immense gratitude for Dr Robert, and I can't wait to immerse myself in his book, 'Metabolical', which I've recently bought.
Greetings from London, U.K. 🌷
very educational. definitely will make changes to me and kids nutrition after this
Thank you for admitting you're addicted to coffee, Dr. Lustig 🤣👌💯
I love my morning too!
Java Java ☕️
Me 2😮
Wow! Thank you for clearest why about glucose and fructose. Like your teaching style with musical voice range.
I went keto then did meditation bought nothing in a packet except for deliberately allowing myself chocolate at weekends.
Cold turkey is easier if you learn how to do total fasting.
I found out that bread was deal breaker.
I could not just have one slice.
Chocolate was different somehow.
So the trigger for me is bread and must be totally avoided in my case.
I fast at least eighteen hours most days and then total fast for 36 hours once o'er week.
Eating fat like butter or lard and not being afraid of it has helped me escape the sugar trap.
Sugar is bad. Do walking..
Well done. Can you elaborate on what your specific goals are and how close you got to them? Don't feel obliged to answer, but you took the trouble to write so if you can complete sharing your story.... 🌟
So what is your total cholesterol numbers
Impressive lifestyle change
who cares? @@sharinaross1865
The great and fabulous Dr, Robert Lustig, who has already changed lives of millions, for better, salute to you !
Lustig is full of crap.
@@donwinstonwhat are your credentials 😂 oh right, you're one of the vegan army who like to cherry pick what you believe in and are easily offended.
@@mark-ish Lustig is a charlatan and full of crap. The insulin carbohydrate model for obesity is completely devoid of any truth at all. It has been disproved beyond any doubt a zillion times. Lustig still promotes this nonsense as well as making many other baseless unscientific claims about weight gain and sugar and fructose.
I admit that I have a sugar addiction. It is such a PITA! I fight with this all the time.
Totally get it. Fought with it for decades but always had to stop cold turkey and after 2 weeks - no cravings. But if I ever had one little thing, the cravings were back. I think it’s like some alcoholics- only total abstinence works and it’s worth the decrease of fatigue and up and down emotions. Don’t give up. You can get there
Dr Lustig makes a point that fructose is the addictive substance, in contrast to glucose. I can think of lots of counter examples. I loved to eat macaroni. As I understand, that's not fructose. It breaks down to glucose. Also I ate potatoes. I don't eat them now, because I am diabetic now. I used to eat bread and butter.
Same here!!! I love bread 🥖 and pastry 🥐. Flour is in 95% of bakery ( I don’t know the real percentage, but I mean a lot) and the rest are flourless or alternative flours.🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
This is mostly glucose…
Sorry you are diabetic…. It’s tough!
Take care ❤❤❤
grains wheat have proteins which are highly addictive, I think it's gliadin, gluteomorphin, look up Dr Davis Wheat Belly. most people have the hardest with bread, the sweet is much easier to quit.
Brilliant interview. Very encouraging. I have Metabolica book and it is excellent for my detox from sugar. learned lots. ! Thx Dr Lustig.
Great conversation
This man is my new favorite nutrient teacher. He breaks it all down like nobody else
thank you Dr Robert H Lustig !
Brilliant absolutely brilliant!
33:12 "...you can't freeze fiber."
Blueberries have fiber (2.4gm per 100gm - same as oranges), and they can be frozen no problem.
Freezing probably does destroy some fiber, but certainly not all in all fruits.
Very informative
When I quit eating sugar, I have severe insomnia, very irritable, tired, can’t function at work until I eat sugar again. I’ve tried to quit but can’t due to how bad it affects me at work. I’m an addict!! Sugar absolutely has withdrawal. I was addicted to opiates. It has very similar withdrawal symptoms. Insomnia being one that is horrible. Irritability, nausea, sweating. It absolutely produces withdrawals
I used to regularly get myself 2 candy bars whenever I went to the store, and really enjoy them. (plus other stuff) The way I backed off of them was by sensing what I was able to put off or say no to at the moment, realizing I didn't want to sneak or shame myself or hide, but I just kind of was my friend and said no to what I could, without being punitive. I changed my habits over time. So I don't know if that story is any good for you, I'm just thinkin' about what you're sayin'.
My sister had to let go slowly. Now, she's fine without sugar. Slowly switching from things like chocolate to fruit might help as a first step. Insomnia is awful! I hope you can get over the addiction! :-)
lol. Ex junkie with somatic histrionics. Similar to opiates!! I 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@datacipher keyboard coward. Bet you wouldn’t say it to my face .
I agree
I am interested to order a continuous glucose monitor. Where sold and how much
Thanks. Singapore
I buy glucose from the wine making store and make sweet drinks. It is about half as sweet as Fructose so you just add twice the amount. I think the total calories is about the same. It is also called Dextrose and also called Corn Sugar. Then I add fizz with a soda stream.
This way you avoid the fructose molecule , it is hard on your liver.
When I was younger I could make a whole bowl of icing from icing sugar, butter, milk ,vanilla and eat the whole bowl. No problem and I was not fat. Then a bakery opened up across the street from our house when I was about 12 years old. Eddies Austrian Bakery. The baked good they made were just amazing. Long john, coated in chocolate icing with a sugary filling. I could eat lots of those and they had strudel and all kinds of squares. lemon chocolate, I have never found such an amazing bakery anywhere since. They went out of business about 10 years later. It was Eddy's son , Eddy junior that didn't know how to run a business.
I also got a job at the bakery and we got all the donuts and long johns and whatever we could eat for coffee time. Then I learned to make sliced bread with the machine and bag it and dipped the long johns in hot chocolate to coat them and they were going to teach me more but they went out of business. Then I got a job at McDonalds, which was the first one to open in the city. They actually made the French fries from potatoes. They had a big drum to peel the potatoes and then a slicing machine.
I was never fat and my blood sugar is still low. I used to always be cold as a kid so maybe I had low blood sugar. I used to sit on the hot air register to warm up. I could eat nothing but sweets and donuts and cake all day long with no meat or vegetables at all. If I didn't know it was all junk food and bad for you, I would just eat that all the time now.
I have cut out most of my sugar. I say most because there sugar comes in so many products , like fresh fruits. However, I do my best. I have lost weight and my glucose levels have came down to normal. Unfortunately, I am thinking about all the bakeries will go out of business .. what about birthday cakes and children’s parties? How about a book for alternatives recipes.
Simple way is to not eat any sugar. Once you quit, after a while you get used to it and you won't miss the sugar. Sugar is terrible for you, so unhealthy for the body. Sugar from fruits isn't bad, plus it's not added sugar.
I ❤️ Fruit But In moderation
The sugar in fruit is still sugar....fruit is bad for your teeth...
@@nigellee9824that's why we clean our teeth. there's plenty of health benefits from eating essential vitamins over processed supplements. You lot are odd balls.
Lustig is a giant. You are honest and direct. The industry of food making only money...
What do you expect the food industry to do? Make food nobody will eat! You are being silly. Stop stuffing so much food in your mouth and move your butt.
Thanks!
I was a sugar addict. Gave up two weeks ago. No withdrawals for me. Feeling better for it though. More energy.
It blows my freaking mind how many people in 2024 have no clue that sugar is harmful
I had some people laugh and mock if I brought this up cause they thought it was BS. It's nuts
And then there is people who know its harmful but either can't stop eating it or are in denial about how much they eat it
Yes, my mom literally drowns in sugar, every day i see on kitchen table big chocolate, cookies, then she drinks coffee with added sugar etc.
But the daily sugar intake that doctor mentioned is not accurate, its based on how much can liver metabolize. Because its not same if person eats 25 grams of sugar in single meal, or divided in 3 meals with several hours apart, then absorption is more balanced, even if person eats 40 grams is in my opinion better then its divided in 4 meals than 25 grams in single meal
@@Dominik40301 - Forget calories for a moment. Refined sugar harms the body in many ways
I luckily nagged my mother to the point where she stopped
My “health conscious” coworker still fights me on the point that juice is bad for you. How can he not know that it’s just liquid sugar ???
@@dianew.3120 - I any periods of my life when I drunk real juice daily- I always felt better, my skin was better and my gut was better. So I am not on the "juice is just sugar" team.
Sure, it's not fruit. But I don't believe that it's sugar and nothing else
I was told I was on the verge of diabetes, so for the past month I did what I could to lower my blood sugar by testing every morning. I've been right around 100. well, yesterday at 4 pm I ate an oreo and this morning I read 148. So, I'm glad I have improved my overall habits, and the sweets I was eating were going to make me sick in the near future. The cookie was not so super delicious to me, either. I will watch this all the way through. Plus I had stress over political watching and a thing I said about my sister.
Carnivore diet. It changed my life.
Carnivore is the way to go.
Also intermittent fasting!!!
44:05 - I've found unsweetened sodas that have a little natural flavouring, and like dry wine with a fruity flavour, they taste a little sweet to me. It's wonderful to have bubbles again!!!
Love it, looked it up and it's got floride and micro plastic
@@jakemelinko I hope not in Australia, too. Enjoying one now.
I’m hoping you can give me some advice because I’m running out of hope on this issue.
4 months ago I got a kidney stone, I’m 54 and never had one.
They did surgery and removed the stone.
I had been on a normal American diet, sugar and fast food.
I went on a low carb and high fat diet. Carnivore with low carbs. Went I had my latest blood work after 4 months, my glucose went up from 92 to 108. Fasting insulin was 10.
Fatty liver test went from 26 to 32.
Uric acid was 7.8.
How can my metabolic health get worse when I cut out 90% of the junk I was eating? I’m at a loss and I’m worried about my uric acid and sugar.
I was eating everything and tons of sugar and cookies and my blood work was better.
Hope you can help me
Maybe you’re eating to much protein.
HiJim: those numbers are puzzling. I have a few thoughts : did you gain any weight because the body can make its own sugar ( gluconeogenesis) from protein and fats especially if the calories count is too high. Are you eating large amounts of fruit? The body cannon ert excess fructose to glucose. What are you drinking? Both soda and fruit juice are literally liquid sugar and can mess with your metabolism. Sports drinks are often high in sugar. One of Dr. Lustigs videos mentioned an athlete whose performance was deteriorating, he was as prediabetic and had to quit his sports drink. Also you said you quit 90 % of the junk food you were eating . This implies you are still eating some junk food.i suggest testing suspicious items with a glucometer to see which foods are spikingyour sugar. You could also test blood sugar one hour after a meal.
I think doing a dopamine fast by going backpacking in the wilderness would be a lot more fun that being locked up in a hotel room with books.
Great information!! Thank you!! Everyone needs to see this!!!
Thanks
Great discussion about fruit and fiber starting at 26:05.
A. Edit out host
B. Provide topic timestamps
Thanks
Wow doctor beautiful work, never seen anyone explain addiction so deep,I guess you done 12 steps program😂
I understood you a bit thanks dr funding
I swiched smoothies for Cheesecake and the results have been staggering! Thanks Doc.
You dont have to swiched smoothies. My ingredients for smoothies are avocado, natural greek yogurt, peanut butter, nuts. Healthy and very little sugar.
What about frozen fruit/veggies. They are the same fiber and health wise?
Yes
Surger is converted to glucose in the body, fruits, carbs are also ultimately converted to glucose, sugar is a concentrated form of glucose, moderation based on personal activity, is the key , the difficulty is requiring lots of energy while young due to higher activity, this is learned and habitual, later in life you tend to slow down like the guy started with shovel is now managing others with shovels , eats just as before but not spending the same amount of energy, result a slow insidious gain with justification, denial, I know for I am living it, even zero sugar low carb doesn't compare to the demands the brain imposes with signals to subvert your understanding
Rolling berries in sugar before eating is almost eating a tsp of sugar. Been there done that. Lol
Going cold turkey is a recipe for failure/depression considering the nag of withdraw. I accidently started juicing a year prior to limiting sugar (then wheat, corn, rice and soybean oil). Now I blend for the fiber and nutrients. Nutritional saturation is needed to build willpower to resist the call of the nag, pretending to be hunger. Sugar robs a homie of nutrition. After decades of sweet and sour pork over rice, eating bok choy, onion and garlic stir fry seems remote. It was a lot easier to limit sugar AND wheat after building up nutrition. Especially on Friday nights when reasoning tries to convince you, you deserve a pizza for being so good.
Healthy eating starts with healthy shopping. It helps to know that the grocery industry only gives you the illusion of choice. In reality they want to control everything you eat. I only buy single ingredient foods and I do all my food preparation myself. Well, OK, I allow myself some splurges but, for the most part, I never buy processed foods or even foods with more than one ingredient. The quickest easiest way to improve your shopping health is to avoid anything in a brightly coloured package.
Its not only sugar, its where sugar is formed. Red beet salad has sugar and its sweet, but after you eat like 100-150 grams you dont get cravings or eat 500 grams. While Coca Cola has also sugar, but most of people wont be satisfied by drinking only 1 glass, there are many cases where people drink 2 litres of it daily.
I have been eating a lot of whole real fruit. I had angina a little more than a year ago, but it has not come back, since I got rid of my fatty liver, don't eat sugar and eat low carbs. However, I replaced a lot of of carbs and sugar with fruit. My wife found something that said to only have 3 servings of fruit per day if you have atherosclerosis. So, what is the truth. Can I have all the whole fruit I want, or do I have to limit it to three?
About 3 weeks ago I stopped eating sugar, or most of it. I have used a spritz of maple syrup once or twice. I've only eaten whole food, real food, no meat. I stopped because I realized I was getting the jitters from sugar related hunger pangs and glucose spikes. It's working! I'm 75, and I've abused my body for a long time. It's never too late to learn or to change. in fact, change is guaranteed. With regard to withdrawal, I ate fruit instead, along with my rice, beans, greens and grains. I've tempered the fruit some now.
Why don't you eat meat?
It is industrialized, wastes resources, and regenerates violence.@@stepheneverhardt4731
Why stop eating meat? The only food that contains no sugar!
….and has the protein that you need!
Well, it's not just about sugar. Sugar and simple carbs are an obvious beginning. Meat as a food source is unsustainable for the world's population. I do currently eat eggs, fish and some dairy.
My dental hygienists told me a man she had as a patient, he quite coffee and said it was harder to quit coffee then cigarettes.
I am 2 weeks out on my sugar detox no alcohol all so
Thanks for the information. I definitely agree with the idea that you need to be consuming mostly unprocessed/minimally processed foods while getting a sufficient amount of fiber. As far as fruit smoothies, I think you’re still getting a good amount of fiber, but not as much as if you eat the fruit whole.
Compete nonsense. There are no fibre in smoothies. And besides that fibre is indigestible that's why you have big poops
The fiber doesn’t go away in then blender. No different than your molars grinding it up. Blender just pre-starts the digestive process. Blender isn’t juicing. Everything you put in is still there. If you’re still worried about the fiber, throw a few hemp/ chia/flax seeds in.
@@user-nf2th3bn5t what a load of rubbish. You think fruit juice has the same fibre as the whole fruit 😂 😂 😂 you know nothing pal
Wrong
More than what u think
If high animal protein intake with high branched chain amino acids promote de novo lipogenesis which may cause fatty liver - why does carnivore cause massive weight loss with reduced visceral fat, low Triglycerides- high HDL ?🤔
Smart! Dopamine Fast!

Everything packaged has “added sugar” and LOTS of it.
Dr lusting I have to buy some oranges to make my bowels move since am eating properly 2 meals cabbage ect but I intend to stay on my diet but need my bowels to work dr lusting
I go through serious withdrawals when i try to stop eating anything sweet - it's all i think about. It's my only addiction.
If you really work at it you can loose most of your cravings for sugar. I was a horrible sugar eater. I feel so much better giving it up. Still have to work on giving up corn, flour, and rice.
Carnivore diet helped me kick my sugar addiction.
Is there any minimum quantity of sugar required in grams?? like honey?
Required for what? Carbohydrate, including sugar, is the only macronutrient not needed from an external source, as the body will create the glucose it needs through a process called gluconeogenesis. There are many people who have started eating a carnivore diet in which they eat zero carbohydrate, and some have been doing it for 40-50+ years without any problem. In fact, many say that eating no carbs is healthy and can reverse many issues, including autoimmune, skin, gastrointestinal and mental health issues.
Any studies to support this?
@@Shiny54 no hay estudios, porque quien los podía pagar no lo hace, porque afecta el negocio de los alimentos y el negocio de las farmacéuticas. Cuyos pro pietarios son los mismos.
Yes...people that 100% commit to a no sugar, low carb lifestyle that Dr. Lustig and many doctor's recommend and do what they say and not lie about it (like accidentally forgetting to mention the 2 large pizza's, 24 dunkin' donuts, and gallon of cookie dough ice cream) they slipped in 3 days week.
There's really no study to prove anything to anyone. Just observe someone that does the aforementioned properly and see the results and there's your study.
People, even in their 80's, that do this reduce immensely or even get off all medications and drop weight to a normal level with this lifestyle.
Limit added sugar to
My father was a sugar addicted led to diabetes and he had bleeding toes , even pictures of me as a new born baby in the mid 80’s , I never had healthy parents. My younger brother and I have struggled with weight on off all our lives . I am trying to be as carnivore as I possibly can. Thyroid problems, adrenal fatigue , perimenopause, think close to menopause. My mother and father diabetic,father ended up with cancer died 2005, brain cancer, now my mom has heart problems after diabetes diagnosis, 2 years ago April almost died from high blood sugar, now WAY UNDER CONTROL were it should be, now has heart issues *** Yes heart problems in her family side *** my younger brother had a heart murmur as a child. Baby pictures with my dad he was overweight not obese but overweight. He died 2 months shy of my 20 birthday……I was 19. Not yet 20. Now I am almost 39 and I have almost lost my mother a few times in the last few years …..diabetes diagnosis changed her diet huge her blood sugar is down to almost normal on Berberine. And had a major heart scare in the last year and a half almost killing me , under tremendous stress from it has led to adrenal fatigue, my blood pressure drops very low at night. I actually fainted a month ago. Now I keep a blood pressure cuff in my bed at night…..the battery operated ones and sea salt 🧂 available at bedside . I also bought Sea salt capsules I have extreme dizziness at night. Adrenals are bad. I would be dead if my father lived and taken care of 2 sick parents. All my life taken care of parents being unwell. From a child. I saw my parents in and out of hospital. Traumatic to say the least. I felt often from a child would I be orphaned.
I was robbed of parents due to sugar addiction. Both unhealthy all their lives . Plus I think it explains why ? I have had chronic Health problems, though I eat healthy mostly between keto, carnivore, Mediterranean, Paleo. My health depends on it. My mother wasn’t well to have kids . Hormone problems which I got too. Adrenals weak all my life leading to chronic health problems like allergies etc……allergies to food etc…..all stem from weak adrenals.
Is Oatmilk or Soy Milk good for you ?
When i quit sugar and carbs i had 5 days of flu like symptoms. After a few months i had one piece of birthday cake and next day had the worst hangover.
If you have to eat every 2 hours, you are carb addicted!
I love sweet stuff, but is easy to resist while on carnivore diet
3:50 That's a bit farfetched, you can't compare status epillepticus to a healthy neuron firing more frequently due to a substance. For instance, certain mushrooms (eg P. cubensis) make your neurons fire in all kinds of crazy ways, yet they don't cause brain lesion, even in extremely high doses.
Mostly pastry dr
Well i'm sixty four years old. And we've known about sugar. too much is bad for you. I can Remember when I was small and Wanting the caro-corn surp, My mother put in it on top of the ice box so i couldn't get to it. We've always tried to moderately eat sugar. Whenever I ate dessert that's all I would it. I quit using sugar in my tea and coffee years ago. So I don't understand the addiction part. And food breaks down to sugar anyway. Common sense goes a long way and it stays on the shelf.Three months without going bad you probably shouldn't eat it.
I am under the impression that Sperm cells, metabolize fructose? Is that not correct?
I've heard swishing baking soda and water takes sugar cravings away.
I haven't tried it yet. Has anyone?
What do you have to lose. Try it.
Why is sugar in food so delicious and addictive but not by itself? Few people crave and eat spoonfuls of sugar.
Jay Feldmans podcasts helped me realize that sugar isn't that bad. Especially not natural sugars. Keto/carnivore doesn't work AT ALL for me but I got super scared of carbs bcs of the fear mongering in the keto/carnivore community.
Obesity and heart attacks ruin lives…
I realise that alcohol and other drug addictions cause other problems…but sugar probably causes more early deaths than anything ingested
I say I have a horrible sweet to explain why I am not eating sweets.
I've been mindful with my sugar intake. It does add up to weight loss, mood and focus - dropping e.g. the sugar in coffee, or having mainly 70%+ cocoa content choccies. Such an ostensibly small thing can do a lot for the body.
As a kid I ate brown sugar from a spoon. I kept a baggie of it to dip into.
Are you saying that a woman's liver can only process 25gms of sugar in 1 day....or, at one time during the day ?
In one day
It’s 24 g.
Is INSULIN spike twice daily on lunch and dinner necessary for amino acids to enter inside muscle cells??
Not if you eat steak and butter!
So why eat fruit if fructose is much more addictive and dangerous than glucose?
What about sugar in fruit
Negated by fiber
Fruit juices are very bad. The equivalent of a liquid candy. When you eat a piece of fruit, the fiber slows down the sugar spike. Drinking an orange juice, it's just all fructose without the fiber. That will skyrocket someone's blood sugar.
Did you even listen?
@@calibby85 it’s a long episode. Maybe they had to step away for some of it and missed it. I see no need to make a snarky comment. Whatever happened to kindness? Isn’t life hard enough?

😂 just had my first german white dough bread 🍞 in 6 months 😅 I just wanted a piece of it 😂 but brain said u gotta feed me the sugar 😅
Every kid I've ever seen for the last 70 years will spoon sugar out of a jar if allowed
My sister & I did, or at least something similar - jello.
I love sugar. Hersheys chocolate is the best. winco sells milk chocolate in bulk chunks. yumm. ice cream. I've eaten sugar raw, what is he talking about? I had low sugar and was feeling light headed and wanting to puke, so I ate a sugar packet and sucked on it under my tongue. Works like a charm
262 names for sugar!
Yes, it is BAD!!!
I dropped the sugar like a hot potato! I dont drnk pop, alcohol or fruit juice. A pot of black coffee and mist of a pack of cigaretts are my only addictions.
The cigarettes reduce blood flow to everything and if you hurt yourself the tissue healing is massively reduced. It depletes all your nutrients and keeps you low vibe. Just go with the ☕️
Use fruit dates to break sugar addiction.
Have to Watch All the Sugars in Disguise, ingredients that end in ose are to looked out for. Soda industry is probably Worst Pusher of All, followed by Captain Crunch and his crew. Switched to "Sugar in the raw" is my attempt at control. especially when i heard that Bleach the sugar white to make it look more visually appealing, but the problem with that is it Takes All the Nutrients out. William Duffy wrote + excellent Expose on sugar danger. I'm not sure they're still in print tho because of the Corporate assassin's
I can easily eat several kilos fruits.
Where does maple syrup rate in this problem list ???

I can’t say anything! I’ve never been in any Starbucks 😂😂😂😂
If you like black coffee do not waste your time. Some of the lowest grade of coffee out there.
Starbucks will add sugar to your drink order if you don’t tell them otherwise. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve forgotten that.
@@quicklykay 😂😂
Ikr, I've never tried Starbucks but I've heard it described as "liquid sugar with a bit of coffee flavor" 😂
I don't care about the stories about studies, I want to see clear evidence.
Same i have been looking on his website on tie studies about to kids. To see what they gave them to eat instead
20:18, "What if you had cocaine in all your food?" I'll say: bring it on!!!! ;)
Ever seen an old cocaine addict? I haven’t.
@@dragonwithagirltattoo598 are you saying....coca causes eternal youth?
Ironically Coke originally did have cocaine in it, that's where their name "Coca-Cola" came from. When they were legally banned from using cocaine, they added more sugar.
