Unmasking the Sugar Crisis: Dr. Lustig on Obesity, Vitamin D, & Gut Health

  • In this episode of the Emery Pharma podcast, Dr. Robert Lustig discusses various health issues with hosts Dr. Ana Najafi and Dr. Ron Najafi. Dr. Lustig emphasizes the impact of sugar consumption on obesity and the financial burden it places on the healthcare system. He highlights that reducing sugar intake to USDA guidelines could save $3 trillion, compared to the $2.1 trillion cost of GLP-1 analog drugs for obesity treatment.
    Dr. Lustig explains the widespread issue of vitamin D deficiency among Americans, attributing it to insufficient sunlight exposure and inadequate dietary intake of vitamin D-fortified milk. He hypothesizes that chronic inflammation might cause the body to deactivate vitamin D, exacerbating deficiency despite supplementation.
    The conversation also covers the benefits and risks of ketogenic diets. While ketogenic diets can be effective if properly managed, improper execution can lead to harmful effects such as increased LDL cholesterol and heart disease.
    Dr. Lustig addresses the role of gut health and inflammation in chronic diseases. He explains how processed foods, emulsifiers, and sugar damage the gut's mucin layer and tight junctions, leading to systemic inflammation.
    The podcast touches on obesogens-chemicals in the environment that contribute to obesity-and their impact on lower socioeconomic groups. Dr. Lustig expresses concerns about the side effects of obesity medications like GLP-1 analogs, such as depression and gastric issues, and argues that the root cause-unhealthy food-should be addressed instead.
    Finally, the discussion explores the ethics of direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising and its impact on public health. Dr. Lustig advocates for a deeper understanding of health problems to create effective solutions, emphasizing the importance of scientific truth and public education.

      I've been following a medically supervised keto diet for the past 90 days. I feel great. The weight loss is slow, but feeling so much better and not being a slave sugar cravings is wonderful. I wouldn't believe it if I didn't experience it myself. I know people who are taking ozempic and losing more weight. But I can see the difference in how we feel. I have energy, and they don't. I'm eating healthy foods and they are still eating whatever they want - if they eat at all. Keto for me, has been the first time that I've been able to give up sugar and refined carbs.

    I've long believed you need to see the sun as well as being outside to absorb vitamin D. My doctor thought I was taking pills because my levels were high, top 95% in Australia. I have an office job but make a point of getting my daily dose at the weekend, i.e. being out in the sun long enough but not to burn. Sleep like a log, approx 7.5 hours and I feel terrific. (Keto diet since 2018 and no dairy 2 years and 2 months and counting) oh... I had to tell my Doc Keto means no alcohol! More recently, about 4 weeks I have gone to eating once a day thereby absolutely limiting the amount of food that I can eat. No longer eat flour products.

    • @Emerypharma
      @Emerypharma  5 месяцев назад +1

      It makes sense!!
      See below:
      Taken directly from PubMed:
      Yogurt manufacturers aren't required to use fortified milk to make yogurt, so vitamin D doesn't always get added to the process. For example, the Vitamin D3 content of yogurt fortified with water-dispersible form can decrease significantly after one to three weeks of storage, while the Vitamin D3 content of samples fortified with the oil-dispersible form can decrease after two to three weeks. However, yogurt made from plant-based milks can now contain up to 220 IU of added D per 8 ounces.
      Plain yogurt and cheese typically contain small amounts of vitamin D, averaging around 3-4% of the recommended daily intake per serving. This is because vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin and is naturally present in the fatty components of these dairy products. Yogurt is also often fortified with vitamin D to help people reach their daily recommendation. A 6-ounce container typically has 20 percent of your daily needs.

    Hi Dr. Lustig, I truly appreciate your knowledge and expertise. I read your book and continue listening to your podcasts. I am an ObGyn from NY. I had a question regarding leaky gut. Do you think it is possible to be born with leaky gut? I have seen newborns having severe allergies to breast milk. I have Sean it more than once. Do you think it has to do with possibly mother having leaky gut and also giving the baby her poor microbiome? Do you know if it ever was looked at?

    To each their own. I don't think keto is sustainable for most people and even those who SAY they're doing it aren't once they eat some processed carbs. I do Atkins: High protein, moderate fat, low-carb. SUPER easy to sustain. I lost 45 lbs on it last year and have kept it off.

      Not easy to sustain? You mean Not easy to sustain for YOU, right? I’m of the opinion that it’s as easy, or easier, to continue eating a ketogenic diet because you can eat until you fill full. Also very motivating when you keep reading about the efficacy of ketogenic diet to help you fight cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.

I have heard stories of human offspring of near starving, meat and fat fed pregnant women being smarter, stronger...in areas where there were at the time no sugar or flour or starch containing products... so the people were starving, and the only food was meat, fatty fish, seal mammals and fat...so they would have been in ketosis...I think.

      ​@@TheAnimalBasedCure He will not answer you. Bart Kay would agree with you that a single Bolus (as he says) of meat is best. I tried it and found that I need at least 2MAD. I tried IF and failed- dropped 10 lbs. and cannot for the life of me regain it. I am too thin now- BMI 20. I run and workout but want that 10lbs. back. My Tri's are 48 but I think it is too low. I might have slight malnutrition because I lost my gallbladder years ago. I don't absorb fats (Fat sol. vits. as well.) This is despite being mostly Carnivore. I eat very clean, healthy Keto and I work out.
      Importantly, my key cholesterol RATIO's are great. Non-HDL is slightly high 137 vs. 130 is in range. RATIOS is what Dr. L. stresses in his book- and the fact that he hates statins. What is very important are the RATIOs of TriG to HDL and also Total Cholesterol to HDL. Google about the ratio's. That is where it's at. How are all your other numbers? You just divide them. We very much need Cholesterol. TC should be around 120. Docs will flag it as high- it is not.
      IMHO, it is the inflammation that causes potential issues. Not cholesterol. The real problem and thing to measure is atherosclerotic plaque. That is why above all, most over 50 Y/O should do a Calcium Score test.
      How do I explain- simple. Genes. Your very smart, evolved genes know exactly what to do with dietary cholesterol- if you let them. If you keep your body fit, healthy and not inflamed. The body wants and needs to thrive if we get out of it's way. Also, learn about THE RANDLE CYCLE Dangers of mixing Carbs and Fats with Bart Kay. It's an amazing video. You will learn a lot.
      You seem knowledgeable. Do you believe in doing a Colonoscopy? If so, why? I don't. Most disagree but I have good reasons. Remember, the All Cause Mortality remains about the same whether or not you do that invasive procedure. These things make docs. money but have cost healthy people their lives when they puncture the bowel. Also, it takes that cancer ~10 years to grow anyway and most polyps are not cancerous. There are 1,000 other cancers that they never warn you about. They never tell you how to eat well, what toxins to avoid in everyday life. All cancer causing. No thanks to their test. Also, if you are still not convinced, read this one: Colonoscopy: A Gold Standard to Refuse www.drmcdougall.com/education/information/colonoscopy-a-gold-standard-to-refuse/
