Absolutely.I have seen 4 relatives suffer cancer, dementia, hypothyoidism and a psychiatric disorder.All 4 lived an average healthy lifestyle , yet still got what are referred to as Metabolic illnesses. If Ingredients in Staple Foods are contributing to such illnesses , then Government Regulators (The FDA) must regard this as a Public Health Issue.Until then , God Bless the "awareness raisers" that endeavour to prevent the suffering that chronic illness can bring .Thank you Doctor Lustig.
I was a diabetic and went off of processed food, no soda, no white rice, white bread, no bread period if I can help it, no pizza, maybe one slice, but really no sugar, only fresh fruit with the fiber, with the peeling, no juicing that's processing, fresh whole vegetables, organic chicken, grass feed beef, not often, no pork, fresh fish, no farm fish, because of the crap they feed them. Yes, I still like to eat out, no its not that healthy, but I try like the devil to eat the best I can. I do not sit there and fill up on bread!! I do not order dessert or drink alcohol either!! I use organic stevia in my tea. I lost 60 pounds. My diabetes is considered to be in remission my A1C is 5.4. This can be done. I have not been able to exercise due to a head injury this is been done purely off of diet actually it's a change of lifestyles!! Now, the biggest problem that I have is finding the best grocery store with the best produce!!
Freda, congratulations! Thank you sharing this success story. I also believe that eating right can do wonders to the body. Please teach us how you did it and here is why I ask. #1 Organic food is expensive most of us can't spend three times more on groceries than what we spend now #2 if we could afford it, we would have to cook or prepare it fast because it will spoil #3 It takes more time to cook it. i.e. brown rice or brown pasta takes longer to cook than white rice or white pasta. I bought low carb tortillas the other day and they took a lot longer to cook than regular tortillas. Any advice would be helpful for families where both husband and wife work and spend a lot of time running around town commuting from point A to point B.
Mr. hrfister hi Mr. hrfister, good work on the actions taken this far! As someone who is gluten intolerant, I know it can be hard to switch off of all the breads and grains we eat. My biggest suggestion is go cold turkey and ditch the grains all together. Getting substitutes (gluten free, low carb etc) just means they are putting different chemicals in it. If you can’t afford organic or grass fed produce and meat yet, don’t worry! It is better to have non organic produce than none at all. My favorite things to do are sauté veggies (any and all veggies work, though I stay away from white potatoes) or spiralize and use those as pasta. If you don’t have a ton of tome, spiralizing and cooking take about 15 minutes. It’s longer to heat up the sauce. Most people don’t realize either that cooked veggies stay better than pretty much anything else. If you make veggie pasta or soup or stir fry, the leftovers are good for a while in the fridge. And while lettuce and spinach can get wilted in the fridge, darker greens can stay good for quite a while especially if you stick a paper towel into the package (mixed greens seem to go bad faster) Lastly, love me some frozen veggies. I know they have a bad rep, but provided you buy fresh frozen veggies (none of that added nonsense) they are quick, cheap, healthy, long lasting, and generally keep flavor better than most fresh foods. So while shopping, think frozen veggies, fresh veggies, some meat, some cheese, some dairy and eggs and get out. It means eating more with forks than your hands, but believe me, it will be an easier way to make the transition. Hope this helps! And good luck!
Mr. hrfister canned beans is the answer! I’m single, older and can’t spend hours cooking. I buy them on sale, low salt if possible. Either way I drain one week’s worth and place in container with water & vinegar and refrigerate. They remain fresh for longer than one week, are less salty, plump up and pick up the taste of whatever vinegar you put in. I use apple cider vinegar but you can experiment with vinegar that you use. Just add to salads or other foods that you cook, always available and healthy
history will look back at this guy as a true hero, a giant. the work he has done to wake people up, courageously fighting the good fight for humanity. Bucking the system to find the solutions to literally save children's lives. immense.
I feel huge gratitude towards this man. I was casually watching his famous 2009 lecture on sugar and thought I should stop eating sugary junk food and I should be ok. That was 2016. Boy I was wrong. I'm from a culture which has too much carbs in food all 3 meals in th day. Fast forward 5 years, I got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I rewatched his lecture again and now I could relate and comprehend many things I missed earlier.
Also need to lower fat intake. And a lot of Asian countries have meats cooked in a lot of oil so need to avoid that also and anything fried. It’s not easy to eat healthy nowadays.
bs, u also eat lots of fat don't u? and 90% chance u have BMI 23+ Lose weight (10-15kg) and diabetes will be gone 90% of the time for new a diabetic patients
@@briansounalath Your main concern should be eliminating carbs and sugar and sticking to healthy fats, a whole food diet with fermented foods, is your best option, how are you doing now a yr later?
I watch so many videos from Dr. Lustig at this point, and every one still has nuggets I never heard in the others. This guy seriously is one of the most important people in the last decade - I sure wish our world would listen to what the hell he says.
Is it fair to consider an uncontrollable sugar habit to be synonymous with an uncontrollable drug or alcohol havmbot, except that sugar is so widespread, society says "that doesnt count?"
@@michaelm5405 Food criminals are hiding sugar in all kinds of products you would not suspect, like mayonnaise and canned vegetables, our daily bread and plain yoghurt. I can read the package, I can recognise all of the 50 different names to cloak pure sugar under. And if I can, you can do that too.
True. I returned to the diet I consumed as a boy in the 1950's early 60's. Protein, fat, lots of vegetables, occasional fruit, no added sugar, no processed foods. We had the occasional popsicle, ice cream treat, or small soda pop back then, and too much orange juice probably but every thing we ate did not taste sweet. My body has returned to the thin build I always had, shed fifty pounds, my mind is clear again. No sugar! Absolutely no High Fructose Corn Syrup.!
Well spoken, well educated and well read physician speaking out against the sugar industry. Kudos to Dr Lustig and CrossFit for pushing this up the pipeline.
Green: he's talking about ADDED sugars and "free fructose," particularly fruit juice that WIC has been letting poor families with children have by the barrel.
@@susanmercurio1060 Getting an education is the first step. Educating our representatives is the second step. Passing the proper Laws to protect & defend & prosecute Law breakers Is the third. We can do it ! Not only for ourselves, But also for the future generations who will walk in our foot steps and remember. ❤
@@pierreporter9196 : Our representatives aren't interested in doing a damned thing for us. They are more interested in supporting their donors' interests, and that includes the food industry. We need to overhaul the system and put a better one in its place. Read the Declaration of Independence.
Dr Lustig understands this subject inside out, he absolutely nails it in every stream. Please watch more of his videos if you want to understand this subject better.
Dr Lustig is the 21 century pioneer in true healing for humanity. Ethical, tireless, and most of all, a true hero fighting his own medical fields, pharmaceutical cos and the food conglomerates! Thanks so much for the new video.
I am a big fan of Dr Robert lustig. He changed my eating habits and how I used to eat food. Changed my life in a positive way. Everyone should listen to him.
I just watched this guy's videos, and they should be required viewing in every home and school in America... PERIOD. We are getting slowly poisoned by every major corporation in the world, and quite frankly, they should all be in jail, along with their bankster criminal conspirators.
Have watched about 5 presentations by Dr. Lustig. Have suffered from "metabolic syndrome" for many years without really understanding it. We, my wife and I, know what to do now and are implementing it. Everything he is saying makes total sense to us, the good, the bad and the ugly. 10 stars for Dr. Lustig and his work or whatever is the top of the scale. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
@@eldanijel Not well. A Vegan diet is a deficient diet- no question about it. I tried to do it once- did not work out at all and I knew what I was doing- studied this stuff for 10 years. You simply can't get what you need- no complete proteins and lacks about 20 key nutrients including B vitamins and proteins that your body needs.
@@MOAB-UT Why do you think you need "complete" proteins? There's no science behind your statement, in spite of your statement that you "studied this stuff for 10 years". (I am not a vegan, but noticed quite a few of your comments are on these lines.)
@@pynn1000 The body requires complete proteins to effectively do what it does. Cells are either growing or dying- no in between son. That is a simple concept. There is a lot of science behind everything I say. You would be best off asking me a serious question and be in learning mode instead of trying to insult the professor. Yes- in 10 years I have learned a lot.
@Olivia esddms Carbs in all forms cause blood sugar spikes. The reason why most vegetables are still okay is because leafy greens and such have such a low calorie count that even if it's all carbs, it has little effect. But when you spike your blood sugar, your body generates insulin. The insulin prevents your fat cells from sending Leptin to the hypothalamus. Your brain then assumes that you're starving and need to cap your energy expenditure and store more energy (fat). So eating a moderate to high carb diet will naturally result in less usable energy in the body (feeling like crap), less control over weight gain, and cravings for more food that you don't need. I recommend Robert Lustig's book Fat Chance if you want to learn more about what carbs do to the body.
@@MitoseNorikoFan ... I did read a bit about the effect of carbs overall, and what I got out of it is: - fructose is particularly harmful. - most carbs are fine as long as you are insulin sensitive, and it's quite hard to become resistant without fructose, alcohol, or some other factor. - subcutaneous fat can look bad, but is mostly harmless, and you can have a whole lot of it while still being healthy. - if you exercise with a high intensity (weightlifting) or for an abnormaly long duration (long distance running) carbs are useful. Overall, rice and potatoes aren't going to be a terrible impact on your health.
@@Olivia-W First of all, I would never try to make the absurd claim that consuming carbs in all shapes and forms will kill you. I don't believe that. What I take issue with is the Western culture that every single protein product must necessarily have a carb to go with it. Steak? Mashed potatoes. Bacon eggs? Toast. Burger? Buns. I have no issue eating high carb diets like the Japanese or Vietnamese diet. Secondly, you have to be incredibly careful about hidden sugars when you buy "just rice and potatoes" Even when it seems like there is no reason to, I've found almost entirely meat (no sauce) products that somehow sneak a pile of sugar into the recipe. The same is true for all food in the West. The best way to avoid bad carbs is to be vigilant against all carbs Third, if you're seriously trying to cut fructose without cutting other carbs, good luck. You'll need it. But it also sounds really counter productive to give up the benefits of keto for...potatoes? Like I said before, if I could move back to my home in Vietnam, I'd gladly reintroduce a high-carb diet back to my life. But not while I live in the West.
Going to be tough. It took decades to get smoking numbers below 20% nationally. Can't imagine how difficult it will be with sugar when 99% of the country lives on it.
It would've been a little easier if the FDA had not delayed the new nutrition labels until 2020. The new labels specifically state "added" sugars. Sugar in whole food, like fruit, perfectly OK. Added sugars should be avoided as much as possible.
It's fairly easy to look over the ingredients label and see the sugars listed. But, of course, you have to know what they're calling them. The latest is "corn sugar" which is high fructose corn syrup rebranded after years of litigation. Corn syrup that is NOT high fructose is glucose. HIGH fructose corn syrup is mostly fructose. ALL added sugars are bad for you. Fructose is the worst. Table and baking sugars are half fructose and half glucose. Honey is also half fructose and half glucose. Odd, isn't it? Most common sugars are half and half with some different flavors in them--natural flavors, but still half fructose. And ALL added.
Thank you Dr. Lusting, your videos changed my life completely and I am free from sugar, processed food and alcohol. even not going to gym loos 12kg in 2years.and I am sharing you videos to friends in order to save so many lives. Big Thank you, ' WISH YOU LONG LIFE' YOU ARE AN ANGEL
This man's right on the money. I've been following an approach similar to his and have reversed type 2 diabetes to the point where it's diagnostically undetectable. Both a surgeon who recently cut me up and an eye doctor who looked at the back of my eyeballs both told me that they did not see any signs of type 2 damage. I cut carbohydrates out of my diet and started eating real food. Other interesting things happened. I stopped having chest pains, my energy levels evened out, ED went away, and i started working out. I've been eating a low carb diet for 6 years now and there's no turning back, for me.
I dunno why i'd want bread. I totally forgot why i needed it. I do best on 0-30 carbs, so i stick to that. Anything beyond that makes my appetite out of control.
@@StephanieArtVideos as vegan: following the guidelines, so basically carbs. As keto/carniovore, following the stricter guidelines ( no more than 20g/day of carb and mostly fat ).
Also trolls who work for the processed food industry, vegans because he eats meat & says too much fructose is a problem, and thin people who are upset because they could still be sick even if they're not fat. Other people are upset because he doesn't look like an athlete & they think looks are the only measure of what you know about nutrition.
Robin Lillian also watch out for body positivity movement saying you can be fat and still healthy, and intuitive eating is great cause your body just tells you what it needs. Just like body of crack addict tells him that it needs crack.
I know you need someone to hate, BUT the body positive movement does NOT tell people to eat sugar or junk food. It tells them not to hate themselves for being fat--just to keep exercising and eating well even if they don't lose weight, and don't give up because people like you hate them. Plenty of thin people eat piles and piles of sugar. Weight gain is just a symptom of insulin resistance & other diseases, like hypothyroidism, that not everybody gets. Yes, Yes, I know--how DARE fat people not hate themselves! They might actually expect to be treated with as much respect as an actual crack addict!!! Horror!!
Robin Lillian nothing wrong with body positivity idea. nothing wrong with not hating yourself. that's all great. shame though that most people who claim they belong to said movement are basically promoting unhealthy lifestyle. look at Tess Holliday. Is she eating healthy and spreading message of loving your body regardless of size or is she promoting exclusively fat people while claiming she is perfectly healthy (which with her size is straight up impossible)?
RUclips is so loaded with hate videos about her that it's not surprising you have a negative opinion of her. Certainly, she's just as entitled to express an opinion, right or wrong, as any other thin celebrity, whether it's about food or crop circles. That doesn't make her an authority on the subject. Here are some actual examples from the Health At Every Size movement: www.healthnotdiet.com www.sizediversityandhealth.org/content.asp?id=76
Dr Lustig I have stopped drinking soda and recently have cut out processed food and i have lost 20 pounds because of you. I was up to 156 pounds at 5"2" and almost type 2 diabetic. I have you to thank. I am now 134 and I did not even really want to lose weight it happened because my doctor told me my fasting sugar was 120. Now i am a great 73 fasting. I am spreading the news!!!
thank you thank you thank you for this video , I have been an advocate of Dr Lustig since watching "sugar the bitter truth " , which he did many years ago.
DR's New Account what part did you miss, when he say that in like 50% of food we eat through the day, we even don't know we eat sugar? Or fact that just in single piece of any processed food can be so much sugar, you will need to eat like 10 pounds of vegetables or fruits to match that sugar intake. And one soda can be just a 1/10 of daily processed food intake for some people, who can not afford other than processed food. You see where we going? People can without even knowing eat even x50 amount of what would be acceptable dose of sugar per day. He also say many times, he is not against sugar, just against processed food, which main supplement is sugar and because how much is it in those food, people not even knowing. Even i from non native English area, did understand when he say our liver can process a limited amount of sugar(especially through fruits and vegetables which contains a lot more fiber than sugar itself). Which is logical in some ways as there are fruits and vegetables in our world. So we are through evolution certainly adapted to limited amount of sugar intake. But most people are now overdosed on daily basis by many times, which is a problem. Not sugar itself. So the only moron must be you, because it seems you can't do even simple thing right, which is understanding properly what he say.
Following the food pyramid and a "balanced diet" led me into becoming pre-diabetic with severe health issues. It is unbelievable to many that eating high fat foods such as grass fed beef and butter, pasture raised eggs, organic avocados, etc have brought me into the best health of my life and remarkable weight loss.
Dr Robert Lustig you are my hero. You have literally changed my life for the better. Changed my diet to quality meat, green leafy veg, butter, eggs and goats milk. Cut out ALL the junk foods and any sweet tasting fruit. I also drink 2 litres of spring water a day.
Dr Lustig's book 'Fat Chance' really goes into the nuances of how diet and exercise work. People who exercise frequently, especially with HIIT and resistance training, are usually able to process more carbs than someone who is not very active and already sick. For those looking for the cure against added sugar and fructose, here it is in a nutshell: eat real foods (not processed), eat some fiber with each meal (especially meals with sugar/carbs), and exercise frequently. Those alone will improve anyone's health significantly no matter where you are on the weight spectrum.
Just skip all grains , potatoes and fruits ! Going LCHF the majority of the population will see positive results . Why ,a similar diet keeps reappearing for over the last 150 years since it works. Starting with Banting and many variations in between too.
Don’t miss the oils. Processed seed oils are worse than sugar. Search out cleaner oils. Make sure the oil you are buying is single source and verified 100% pure.
What a good man! I searched and watched every video of Dr. Lustig that I can find and got impressed and moved every time. US needs more Dr. Lustig and human beings today need more Dr. Lustig!
Dr. Lustig's original lecture on sugar years ago caused me to change my eating habits. I eventually became a raw vegan. I feel like I'm in heaven everyday 👌🏿
What is your current health status? You still look heavy. Veganism will eventually lead to several nutrient deficiencies, 100%, even if you mentally FEEL good today. Trust this or you will find out. I did.
Genius. Absolutely true. I work in hospital; we have more and more diabetic patients now. Even physicians need to educate patients about diet; to eliminate sugar and processed food. We only need to eat whole clean foods for our microbiomes.
Dr. Robert Lustig in one of the few people in this country that should be hailed as a true and authentic and veritable hero. He is certainly my hero. Although I am a typical loner in my daily life, my awareness of belonging to the invisible community of those who strive for truth, beauty and justice has prevented me from feelings of isolation.
Amen, brother. The question is, to what extent is this segregated individualism and societal "disconnect" an orchestrated phenomenon and what sinister motives lie at the base of it?
WOW...what a revelation on sugar being like alcohol to children. God bless this man for telling it like it is!!! Must be hard to talk to carb-a-holics all of the time and explain this...I have been off sugar and carbs for several months...it is giving me my life back! I am 60 years old:) Working out most days of the week and sleep well...no bloat...no moodiness anymore. I plan on living this way to have some real vitality in my older years of life. Carbaholics fuel the medical/pharmaceutical industries
Thank you Dr. Lustig and God bless you and keep you fighting for us. This video is one of the most exact and clear about what the food and the pharmaceutical industry have done to us with the government help.
Thank you so much! I am done with counting calories. I am now going to qet sugar and junk food out if my diet. Thank you for clearing up all the confusion.
Suzanne: counting calories is still a good idea. Getting added sugars out of your diet is helpful, though, as you realize you can then eat more decent food than before when your calories aren't spent on empty calories.
Finally the video I’ve been looking for! I just got my A1C results back and I’m at 5.7 when I was at 6.3! I reversed my pre-diabetes by going Paleo and stopped eating processed foods and processed sugars and exercising moderately with weights! I’m so excited! You can do it guys just cook 90% of your food and eat super clean and natural foods you have to cook from scratch with no processed food. Also cut out cane sugar and anything fructose corn syrup and only use fruits, honey, dates, real maple syrup, agave, coconut sugar, go Paleo!! Start of doing Whole 30 and then be Paleo after that! You’ll feel better in general! Good luck! 🙏🏾👍🏾
I grow all my own veg and fruit, and I fish, but between that, hens, preserving, and cooking, it takes a great deal of my time. I feel sorry for those who have to work 2 jobs to pay the bills and still have young kids. How can they find the time to make real food? They certainly can't afford grass-fed beef, but it's hard for them to find the time to make a meal of real food. I feel bad for them.
I lost about 15 pounds(218 to 203) in the last couple of weeks cutting the sugar and heavily processed foods My breath is better mouth used to taste awful.. Don't feel exhausted anymore. don't feel tired or sleepy after waking up. NO more headaches anymore.. No headaches triggered by certain stuff :D
4 months ago I was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes. My HbA1c (blood glucose) was 73 mmol/mol. Since then I have moved to a mainly wholefoods diet with little processed food and no UPF. I eat many organic things where possible. I eat strictly pumpernickel for bread, no refined carbs, no potatoes, ZERO added sugar and control carb portions to around 50g per meal. I enjoy cheese, fatty natural yoghurt, whole milk and snack on nuts, which keeps my fat intake at a good level. Kimchi, sauerkraut and yoghurt help my microbiome. I have also done a morning workout (exercise bike and weights) 4-5 times a week and have taken 500mg of Metformin twice a day. In 4 months I have lost 17.5Kg/2St 10lbs/38.5lbs and my blood test results today show a HbA1c of 36mmol/mol, which is amazing!
Very informative. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes after I crossed the 200# line and I have been calling it the fat disease. Am so glad to learn the truth. Now I feel I have a fighting chance
I adore listening to Lustig. More doctors need to follow his example in their fields of study. He is a lifesaver and many of my food group choices were because him. I feel tons better.
Why drop wheat and grains? You could have lost weight while still having wheat berries and other intact whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, oat groats, quinoa, barley etc.
I listen to your lectures over and over and I bought some of your books. I never want to eat sugar again. I lost 35 lbs in 5 weeks and I feel great. But why do people's eyes glaze over when I tell them sugar is bad for them?
Wake up, America! I'm sharing this with my representatives at State and Federal levels. Education is the key; My people perish for lack of knowledge. Years ago was able to get my elderly father off ALL medication for type 2 diabetes by changing his diet...in 3 days!
l believe this man 100 percent. If you can study the fundamentals of biochemistry , Lustig makes perfect sense. The politics of this can disrupt the economy.
I am an Lpn nurse now in RN school. I wrote a paper on the negative effects of sugar and how it contributes to chronic diseases....my nursing professor told me choose another subject....since we had to present our papers..... Yea I got chewed out....for my topic she began to discredit me saying I fo not know what I am talking about.
Thank you very much Dr. Lustig. I am lucky to have come across your videos. It is not late for me to improve my health after listening to you and the others.
Lustig's presentations are so fascinating. If you look up his presentations at various institutions, he uses so many slides with helpful data that you can see and follow along to, as well as slides that show processes that make it easier to grasp what he is getting at.
I only consume eggs, unprocessed cheese, broiled fish and seafood, non fried meats. Lost 67 pounds and blood sugar now normal. A1c went from 14.7 to 6.1
Stunning interview. Many books have been written about how bad sugar is for us. One of them is Sugar Blues, a classic in it's information, but we are determined to eat ourselves into the grave. With so much information being online these days, books are not as popular a source for finding out "stuff." And much information in books and literature is being left out of articles online, for a variety of reasons. Books are very much still important for finding out things we are forgetting. Loved this interview.
I started a keto diet and you would not believe how much fat I lost and the muscle I retained adding intermittent fasting! I 100 per cent agree your body does NOT need sugar at all to live and survive! I’m 40 and so much better no then when I was 22!!! clean keto diet is the way for me limiting dairy and I’m feeling fantastic! I’ve lost 25 kg so far I also found an amazing CrossFit box and I loveeeeee it!!!!!
He is correct, alcohol and fructose cause fatty liver and diabetes. I know very few people who can get their heads around this. That's cake, sodas, cookies, ice-cream, yoghurt, candies, honey, fruit, maple syrup, corn and more.
@@douglasscovil3447 : Most fruits also contain most of the B vitamins, Vit C, minerals, and fiber. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. You have to look at the total diet, too, not just one component. If the rest of the diet doesn't have much sugar, you can afford to eat a little fructose in a piece of fruit.
@@susanmercurio1060 I also think fruit and corn are good. Boiled corn in salt water tastes very good :), and nutritious. So are fruit. An apple a day :).
@@douglasscovil3447 Dr Lustig points out that whole fruit is a healthy package including significant amounts of fibres, different from fructose used as a cheap industrial food ingredient.
If you have type 2 Diabetes, you should sue Betty Crocker. All of her quick, easy to prepare meals, like potatoes au gratin, noodles almondine, mac and cheese, hamburger helper and tuna helper. That would also include cake mix, brownie mix, etc. These are processed foods to avoid.
Dr. Lustig was the initial eye-opener. I hadn’t lived totally unhealthy and ate also valuable food and beverages. Still it was too much rubbish (including sugared stuff) I put into me. I went on to follow his alerts by watching Dr. Eric Berg‘s and Dr Sten Ekberg’s channels. These three gentlemen made 2022 a successful year and changed my life. Many Thanks. God bless you.
I am on disability for Sugar Disease. My Mom had it and so did her mom. Lots of Alcholics in my family and the doctors in my family deny it! BUT there kids are on ADHD meds and have cancer at three years old.

In studying Precision Nutrition, I am increasingly perplexed that it is now a recommended course for Crossfit as it certainly pushes Coke nutrition and that a calorie is a calorie and such.
Every ward in the Sheffield Hallamshire hospital, that I saw, has a coke dispensing machine. To some degree all hospitals are the same. This begs the question how do we educate the public if the NHS are endorsing disease promoting foods. Are they in the business of keeping us sick or healing us
I feel incredible and happy and with hope for a better world, There are no words to describe a high value information, Eternal thanks to Dr. Lustig And a CrossFit

I was a diabetic and went off of processed food, no soda, no white rice, white bread, no bread period if I can help it, no pizza, maybe one slice, but really no sugar, only fresh fruit with the fiber, with the peeling, no juicing that's processing, fresh whole vegetables, organic chicken, grass feed beef, not often, no pork, fresh fish, no farm fish, because of the crap they feed them. Yes, I still like to eat out, no its not that healthy, but I try like the devil to eat the best I can. I do not sit there and fill up on bread!! I do not order dessert or drink alcohol either!! I use organic stevia in my tea. I lost 60 pounds. My diabetes is considered to be in remission my A1C is 5.4. This can be done. I have not been able to exercise due to a head injury this is been done purely off of diet actually it's a change of lifestyles!! Now, the biggest problem that I have is finding the best grocery store with the best produce!!
Freda Lovell
Brilliant ...
Freda, congratulations! Thank you sharing this success story. I also believe that eating right can do wonders to the body. Please teach us how you did it and here is why I ask. #1 Organic food is expensive most of us can't spend three times more on groceries than what we spend now #2 if we could afford it, we would have to cook or prepare it fast because it will spoil #3 It takes more time to cook it. i.e. brown rice or brown pasta takes longer to cook than white rice or white pasta. I bought low carb tortillas the other day and they took a lot longer to cook than regular tortillas. Any advice would be helpful for families where both husband and wife work and spend a lot of time running around town commuting from point A to point B.
Mr. hrfister hi Mr. hrfister, good work on the actions taken this far! As someone who is gluten intolerant, I know it can be hard to switch off of all the breads and grains we eat. My biggest suggestion is go cold turkey and ditch the grains all together. Getting substitutes (gluten free, low carb etc) just means they are putting different chemicals in it.
If you can’t afford organic or grass fed produce and meat yet, don’t worry! It is better to have non organic produce than none at all.
My favorite things to do are sauté veggies (any and all veggies work, though I stay away from white potatoes) or spiralize and use those as pasta. If you don’t have a ton of tome, spiralizing and cooking take about 15 minutes. It’s longer to heat up the sauce.
Most people don’t realize either that cooked veggies stay better than pretty much anything else. If you make veggie pasta or soup or stir fry, the leftovers are good for a while in the fridge. And while lettuce and spinach can get wilted in the fridge, darker greens can stay good for quite a while especially if you stick a paper towel into the package (mixed greens seem to go bad faster)
Lastly, love me some frozen veggies. I know they have a bad rep, but provided you buy fresh frozen veggies (none of that added nonsense) they are quick, cheap, healthy, long lasting, and generally keep flavor better than most fresh foods.
So while shopping, think frozen veggies, fresh veggies, some meat, some cheese, some dairy and eggs and get out. It means eating more with forks than your hands, but believe me, it will be an easier way to make the transition.
Hope this helps! And good luck!
Mr. hrfister canned beans is the answer! I’m single, older and can’t spend hours cooking. I buy them on sale, low salt if possible. Either way I drain one week’s worth and place in container with water & vinegar and refrigerate. They remain fresh for longer than one week, are less salty, plump up and pick up the taste of whatever vinegar you put in. I use apple cider vinegar but you can experiment with vinegar that you use. Just add to salads or other foods that you cook, always available and healthy
Freda how long did it take you to lose 60lb?
history will look back at this guy as a true hero, a giant. the work he has done to wake people up, courageously fighting the good fight for humanity. Bucking the system to find the solutions to literally save children's lives. immense.
I feel huge gratitude towards this man. I was casually watching his famous 2009 lecture on sugar and thought I should stop eating sugary junk food and I should be ok. That was 2016. Boy I was wrong. I'm from a culture which has too much carbs in food all 3 meals in th day. Fast forward 5 years, I got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I rewatched his lecture again and now I could relate and comprehend many things I missed earlier.
Also need to lower fat intake. And a lot of Asian countries have meats cooked in a lot of oil so need to avoid that also and anything fried. It’s not easy to eat healthy nowadays.
bs, u also eat lots of fat don't u?
and 90% chance u have BMI 23+
Lose weight (10-15kg) and diabetes will be gone 90% of the time for new a diabetic patients
@@briansounalath Your main concern should be eliminating carbs and sugar and sticking to healthy fats, a whole food diet with fermented foods, is your best option, how are you doing now a yr later?
I watch so many videos from Dr. Lustig at this point, and every one still has nuggets I never heard in the others. This guy seriously is one of the most important people in the last decade - I sure wish our world would listen to what the hell he says.
Professor Lustig is telling it in plain words, very easy to understand. I must get some more people to watch this.
I sent it to my granddaughter (who is now obese) because my great-granddaughter is also obese at 5 years old.
Is it fair to consider an uncontrollable sugar habit to be synonymous with an uncontrollable drug or alcohol havmbot, except that sugar is so widespread, society says "that doesnt count?"

Food criminals are hiding sugar in all kinds of products you would not suspect, like mayonnaise and canned vegetables, our daily bread and plain yoghurt.
I can read the package, I can recognise all of the 50 different names to cloak pure sugar under. And if I can, you can do that too.
This man changed my life. Changed my life!
Me too.
Me too!!
True. I returned to the diet I consumed as a boy in the 1950's early 60's. Protein, fat, lots of vegetables, occasional fruit, no added sugar, no processed foods. We had the occasional popsicle, ice cream treat, or small soda pop
back then, and too much orange juice probably but every thing we ate did not taste sweet. My body has returned to the thin build I always had, shed fifty pounds, my mind is clear again. No sugar! Absolutely no High Fructose Corn Syrup.!
That's pretty much the reality for me too. Never felt better. Teaching my kids to eat well as a result of him too.
And me! All of the sudden the lights came on and I could connect the dots. I've given up sugar and alcohol, and I feel fabulous!
Well spoken, well educated and well read physician speaking out against the sugar industry. Kudos to Dr Lustig and CrossFit for pushing this up the pipeline.
Green: he's talking about ADDED sugars and "free fructose," particularly fruit juice that WIC has been letting poor families with children have by the barrel.
Happy trolling, New Thunder!

Dr Lustig is the 21 century pioneer in true healing for humanity. Ethical, tireless, and most of all, a true hero fighting his own medical fields, pharmaceutical cos and the food conglomerates! Thanks so much for the new video.

They even put loads of sugar and salt in DOG FOOD. Read the labels. Meaning, they treat us all exactly like dogs.
Have watched about 5 presentations by Dr. Lustig. Have suffered from "metabolic syndrome" for many years without really understanding it. We, my wife and I, know what to do now and are implementing it. Everything he is saying makes total sense to us, the good, the bad and the ugly. 10 stars for Dr. Lustig and his work or whatever is the top of the scale. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Hey, how are things going for you now?
@@eldanijel Not well. A Vegan diet is a deficient diet- no question about it. I tried to do it once- did not work out at all and I knew what I was doing- studied this stuff for 10 years. You simply can't get what you need- no complete proteins and lacks about 20 key nutrients including B vitamins and proteins that your body needs.
@@MOAB-UT Why do you think you need "complete" proteins? There's no science behind your statement, in spite of your statement that you "studied this stuff for 10 years". (I am not a vegan, but noticed quite a few of your comments are on these lines.)
@@pynn1000 The body requires complete proteins to effectively do what it does. Cells are either growing or dying- no in between son. That is a simple concept. There is a lot of science behind everything I say. You would be best off asking me a serious question and be in learning mode instead of trying to insult the professor. Yes- in 10 years I have learned a lot.
His original sugar lecture caused me to give up sugar and carbs.
This was a really frightening and comprehensive follow up video.
Wow.
Me too.
Why carbs? Frucotse is just one carb.
@Olivia esddms Carbs in all forms cause blood sugar spikes. The reason why most vegetables are still okay is because leafy greens and such have such a low calorie count that even if it's all carbs, it has little effect.
But when you spike your blood sugar, your body generates insulin. The insulin prevents your fat cells from sending Leptin to the hypothalamus. Your brain then assumes that you're starving and need to cap your energy expenditure and store more energy (fat).
So eating a moderate to high carb diet will naturally result in less usable energy in the body (feeling like crap), less control over weight gain, and cravings for more food that you don't need.
I recommend Robert Lustig's book Fat Chance if you want to learn more about what carbs do to the body.
@@MitoseNorikoFan ... I did read a bit about the effect of carbs overall, and what I got out of it is:
- fructose is particularly harmful.
- most carbs are fine as long as you are insulin sensitive, and it's quite hard to become resistant without fructose, alcohol, or some other factor.
- subcutaneous fat can look bad, but is mostly harmless, and you can have a whole lot of it while still being healthy.
- if you exercise with a high intensity (weightlifting) or for an abnormaly long duration (long distance running) carbs are useful.
Overall, rice and potatoes aren't going to be a terrible impact on your health.
@@Olivia-W First of all, I would never try to make the absurd claim that consuming carbs in all shapes and forms will kill you. I don't believe that. What I take issue with is the Western culture that every single protein product must necessarily have a carb to go with it. Steak? Mashed potatoes. Bacon eggs? Toast. Burger? Buns. I have no issue eating high carb diets like the Japanese or Vietnamese diet.
Secondly, you have to be incredibly careful about hidden sugars when you buy "just rice and potatoes" Even when it seems like there is no reason to, I've found almost entirely meat (no sauce) products that somehow sneak a pile of sugar into the recipe. The same is true for all food in the West. The best way to avoid bad carbs is to be vigilant against all carbs
Third, if you're seriously trying to cut fructose without cutting other carbs, good luck. You'll need it. But it also sounds really counter productive to give up the benefits of keto for...potatoes?
Like I said before, if I could move back to my home in Vietnam, I'd gladly reintroduce a high-carb diet back to my life. But not while I live in the West.
I reversed my Type 2. Drink water, Eat leafy green Veg, Do carb swaps. No more processed food and regular Fasting. Most important See your Doctor
Going to be tough. It took decades to get smoking numbers below 20% nationally. Can't imagine how difficult it will be with sugar when 99% of the country lives on it.
It would've been a little easier if the FDA had not delayed the new nutrition labels until 2020. The new labels specifically state "added" sugars. Sugar in whole food, like fruit, perfectly OK. Added sugars should be avoided as much as possible.
Wheat Belly: eye opener.
It's fairly easy to look over the ingredients label and see the sugars listed. But, of course, you have to know what they're calling them. The latest is "corn sugar" which is high fructose corn syrup rebranded after years of litigation. Corn syrup that is NOT high fructose is glucose. HIGH fructose corn syrup is mostly fructose. ALL added sugars are bad for you. Fructose is the worst. Table and baking sugars are half fructose and half glucose. Honey is also half fructose and half glucose. Odd, isn't it? Most common sugars are half and half with some different flavors in them--natural flavors, but still half fructose. And ALL added.
Matt 920
It is High Fructose Corn syrup they need to banned
First Last 1999: Yes...It'd be really nice to find fewer and fewer foods stuffed with added sugars and no foods with high fructose corn syrup.
Dr. Lustig is the best...hides nothing about dangers of fructose.We need more like him..
Thank you so much Dr. Lustig.
This is by far the best interview I've ever ever seen ...I can't still believe all these years we've been eating all the wrong foods
Very sad
we were duped...but now we know:)
Thank you Dr. Lusting, your videos changed my life completely and I am free from sugar, processed food and alcohol. even not going to gym loos 12kg in 2years.and I am sharing you videos to friends in order to save so many lives.
Big Thank you, ' WISH YOU LONG LIFE' YOU ARE AN ANGEL
great interviewer, didn't interrupt or talk over Dr. Love Dr Lustig's passion and dedication for good health.
This man's right on the money.
I've been following an approach similar to his and have reversed type 2 diabetes to the point where it's diagnostically undetectable. Both a surgeon who recently cut me up and an eye doctor who looked at the back of my eyeballs both told me that they did not see any signs of type 2 damage.
I cut carbohydrates out of my diet and started eating real food.
Other interesting things happened. I stopped having chest pains, my energy levels evened out, ED went away, and i started working out.
I've been eating a low carb diet for 6 years now and there's no turning back, for me.
I dunno why i'd want bread. I totally forgot why i needed it. I do best on 0-30 carbs, so i stick to that. Anything beyond that makes my appetite out of control.
What we’re your macros like?
@@StephanieArtVideos as vegan: following the guidelines, so basically carbs.
As keto/carniovore, following the stricter guidelines ( no more than 20g/day of carb and mostly fat ).
@@neptronix thank you! Seriously appreciate the feedback given your comment was from a while ago.
@@StephanieArtVideos No problem. Good luck on your quest!
Just went I thought I had seen most of the diabetes videos on youtube, this comes out of left field and blows my mind. Everyone needs to see this!
That interview was incredible. Everyone needs to understand.
Dr.Lustig was Great the interviewer not so much.
By far, the most valuable 31:07 I've spent in recent memory. Thank you.
They get away with it "cause they get away with it"!!
And they have the money. Follow the money. Sugar is addictive. Why does everything that is bad for you, have to taste so good???
so many people saying it's bullshit cause they hate to admit they just like garbage food.
Also trolls who work for the processed food industry, vegans because he eats meat & says too much fructose is a problem, and thin people who are upset because they could still be sick even if they're not fat. Other people are upset because he doesn't look like an athlete & they think looks are the only measure of what you know about nutrition.
Robin Lillian also watch out for body positivity movement saying you can be fat and still healthy, and intuitive eating is great cause your body just tells you what it needs. Just like body of crack addict tells him that it needs crack.
I know you need someone to hate, BUT the body positive movement does NOT tell people to eat sugar or junk food. It tells them not to hate themselves for being fat--just to keep exercising and eating well even if they don't lose weight, and don't give up because people like you hate them. Plenty of thin people eat piles and piles of sugar. Weight gain is just a symptom of insulin resistance & other diseases, like hypothyroidism, that not everybody gets. Yes, Yes, I know--how DARE fat people not hate themselves! They might actually expect to be treated with as much respect as an actual crack addict!!! Horror!!
Robin Lillian nothing wrong with body positivity idea. nothing wrong with not hating yourself. that's all great. shame though that most people who claim they belong to said movement are basically promoting unhealthy lifestyle. look at Tess Holliday. Is she eating healthy and spreading message of loving your body regardless of size or is she promoting exclusively fat people while claiming she is perfectly healthy (which with her size is straight up impossible)?
RUclips is so loaded with hate videos about her that it's not surprising you have a negative opinion of her. Certainly, she's just as entitled to express an opinion, right or wrong, as any other thin celebrity, whether it's about food or crop circles. That doesn't make her an authority on the subject. Here are some actual examples from the Health At Every Size movement: www.healthnotdiet.com
www.sizediversityandhealth.org/content.asp?id=76
Dr Lustig I have stopped drinking soda and recently have cut out processed food and i have lost 20 pounds because of you. I was up to 156 pounds at 5"2" and almost type 2 diabetic. I have you to thank. I am now 134 and I did not even really want to lose weight it happened because my doctor told me my fasting sugar was 120. Now i am a great 73 fasting. I am spreading the news!!!
thank you thank you thank you for this video , I have been an advocate of Dr Lustig since watching "sugar the bitter truth " , which he did many years ago.
If you actually comprehended the material you would know that it's the lack of fiber thats the problem.
DR's New Account what part did you miss, when he say that in like 50% of food we eat through the day, we even don't know we eat sugar? Or fact that just in single piece of any processed food can be so much sugar, you will need to eat like 10 pounds of vegetables or fruits to match that sugar intake. And one soda can be just a 1/10 of daily processed food intake for some people, who can not afford other than processed food. You see where we going? People can without even knowing eat even x50 amount of what would be acceptable dose of sugar per day. He also say many times, he is not against sugar, just against processed food, which main supplement is sugar and because how much is it in those food, people not even knowing. Even i from non native English area, did understand when he say our liver can process a limited amount of sugar(especially through fruits and vegetables which contains a lot more fiber than sugar itself). Which is logical in some ways as there are fruits and vegetables in our world. So we are through evolution certainly adapted to limited amount of sugar intake. But most people are now overdosed on daily basis by many times, which is a problem. Not sugar itself. So the only moron must be you, because it seems you can't do even simple thing right, which is understanding properly what he say.
Carbed Joy: he's talking about ADDED sugars, not natural starches (sugars).
Following the food pyramid and a "balanced diet" led me into becoming pre-diabetic with severe health issues. It is unbelievable to many that eating high fat foods such as grass fed beef and butter, pasture raised eggs, organic avocados, etc have brought me into the best health of my life and remarkable weight loss.
This may be one of my favorite interviews with Dr Lustig! Thank you so much for doning such a great interview!
Dr Robert Lustig you are my hero. You have literally changed my life for the better. Changed my diet to quality meat, green leafy veg, butter, eggs and goats milk. Cut out ALL the junk foods and any sweet tasting fruit. I also drink 2 litres of spring water a day.
👍👍👍👍👍☺️😍🤗🤚😘👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
thank you for being Robert on crossFit. he is my hero and because of him I've lost 28 lbs in 9 months and have had my life and happens back.
Dr Lustig's book 'Fat Chance' really goes into the nuances of how diet and exercise work. People who exercise frequently, especially with HIIT and resistance training, are usually able to process more carbs than someone who is not very active and already sick. For those looking for the cure against added sugar and fructose, here it is in a nutshell: eat real foods (not processed), eat some fiber with each meal (especially meals with sugar/carbs), and exercise frequently. Those alone will improve anyone's health significantly no matter where you are on the weight spectrum.
Unfortunately Fat Chance is filled with poorly researched information and downright lies too.
Couldn’t agree more
Just skip all grains , potatoes and fruits ! Going LCHF the majority of the population will see positive results . Why ,a similar diet keeps reappearing for over the last 150 years since it works. Starting with Banting and many variations in between too.
@@thalesnemo2841 That's BS tho. Particularly premenopausal women should NOT go completely without carbs because they'll lose their ovulation.
Don’t miss the oils. Processed seed oils are worse than sugar. Search out cleaner oils. Make sure the oil you are buying is single source and verified 100% pure.
What a good man! I searched and watched every video of Dr. Lustig that I can find and got impressed and moved every time. US needs more Dr. Lustig and human beings today need more Dr. Lustig!
Great information- so hard to get people to realize what they have been taught for so many years is wrong! WE just have to keep talking about it.
"Taught" is really "brainwashed"
Dr. Lustig's original lecture on sugar years ago caused me to change my eating habits. I eventually became a raw vegan. I feel like I'm in heaven everyday 👌🏿
What is your current health status? You still look heavy. Veganism will eventually lead to several nutrient deficiencies, 100%, even if you mentally FEEL good today. Trust this or you will find out. I did.
Its worth to have YT only for these kind of videos... Very nice..
Thankyou Crossfit. Appreciate what you are doing.
What this man is doing will be history changing and that's not overstating.
He's also looking in better shape. Skin very clear. Eating less carbs?
@Clorox Tree Some would argue we shouldn't be eating wheat.
I have no idea how people can be so blind when he present these scientific facts.
We need more like Dr Lustig.
Genius. Absolutely true. I work in hospital; we have more and more diabetic patients now. Even physicians need to educate patients about diet; to eliminate sugar and processed food. We only need to eat whole clean foods for our microbiomes.
Dr. Robert Lustig in one of the few people in this country that should be hailed as a true and authentic and veritable hero. He is certainly my hero.
Although I am a typical loner in my daily life, my awareness of belonging to the invisible community of those who strive for truth, beauty and justice has prevented me from feelings of isolation.
Amen, brother. The question is, to what extent is this segregated individualism and societal "disconnect" an orchestrated phenomenon and what sinister motives lie at the base of it?
As a loner you I should think have views on the human condition. I am I think in your camp.
Me too
WOW...what a revelation on sugar being like alcohol to children. God bless this man for telling it like it is!!! Must be hard to talk to carb-a-holics all of the time and explain this...I have been off sugar and carbs for several months...it is giving me my life back! I am 60 years old:) Working out most days of the week and sleep well...no bloat...no moodiness anymore. I plan on living this way to have some real vitality in my older years of life. Carbaholics fuel the medical/pharmaceutical industries
Nicely said and all true.
Thank you Dr. Lustig and God bless you and keep you fighting for us. This video is one of the most exact and clear about what the food and the pharmaceutical industry have done to us with the government help.
This video should be mandatory watching by everyone.
Thank you so much! I am done with counting calories. I am now going to qet sugar and junk food out if my diet. Thank you for clearing up all the confusion.
Suzanne: counting calories is still a good idea. Getting added sugars out of your diet is helpful, though, as you realize you can then eat more decent food than before when your calories aren't spent on empty calories.
Finally the video I’ve been looking for! I just got my A1C results back and I’m at 5.7 when I was at 6.3! I reversed my pre-diabetes by going Paleo and stopped eating processed foods and processed sugars and exercising moderately with weights! I’m so excited! You can do it guys just cook 90% of your food and eat super clean and natural foods you have to cook from scratch with no processed food. Also cut out cane sugar and anything fructose corn syrup and only use fruits, honey, dates, real maple syrup, agave, coconut sugar, go Paleo!! Start of doing Whole 30 and then be Paleo after that! You’ll feel better in general! Good luck! 🙏🏾👍🏾
I grow all my own veg and fruit, and I fish, but between that, hens, preserving, and cooking, it takes a great deal of my time. I feel sorry for those who have to work 2 jobs to pay the bills and still have young kids. How can they find the time to make real food? They certainly can't afford grass-fed beef, but it's hard for them to find the time to make a meal of real food. I feel bad for them.
Cut out processed oils!!
@@RogueCylon The omega-6 rich polyunsaturated oils are probably doing far more damage than the sugar.
I would eliminate the honey, dates, maple syrup, agave syrup, and coconut sugar.
I lost about 15 pounds(218 to 203) in the last couple of weeks cutting the sugar and heavily processed foods
My breath is better mouth used to taste awful..
Don't feel exhausted anymore. don't feel tired or sleepy after waking up.

4 months ago I was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes. My HbA1c (blood glucose) was 73 mmol/mol. Since then I have moved to a mainly wholefoods diet with little processed food and no UPF. I eat many organic things where possible. I eat strictly pumpernickel for bread, no refined carbs, no potatoes, ZERO added sugar and control carb portions to around 50g per meal. I enjoy cheese, fatty natural yoghurt, whole milk and snack on nuts, which keeps my fat intake at a good level. Kimchi, sauerkraut and yoghurt help my microbiome. I have also done a morning workout (exercise bike and weights) 4-5 times a week and have taken 500mg of Metformin twice a day. In 4 months I have lost 17.5Kg/2St 10lbs/38.5lbs and my blood test results today show a HbA1c of 36mmol/mol, which is amazing!
Very informative. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes after I crossed the 200# line and I have been calling it the fat disease. Am so glad to learn the truth. Now I feel I have a fighting chance
lay off of the carbs...you will lose your cravings after a while...your mind will clear up...and you will lose weight over time...you can bank on it.
I adore listening to Lustig. More doctors need to follow his example in their fields of study. He is a lifesaver and many of my food group choices were because him. I feel tons better.
This guy Robert Lustig is truly legendary.
I started watching "Sugar the bitter truth" then dropped all sugar and wheat and grains, I lost 18 kilos, and feel great.
I get it on glucose. What about sodium chloride?
Why drop wheat and grains? You could have lost weight while still having wheat berries and other intact whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, oat groats, quinoa, barley etc.
Love to you Dr. Lustig. Thank you for everything you are doing. And thank you CrossFit for bringing this to light. You are wonderful!
Just finished reading Metabolical. Excellent. Pass this information on. ☺️
Thank you Professor Robert Lustig for your educational videos. From Australia!
Wow. Love the articulation and passion.
Thank you Dr. Lustig, you are AWESOME. Everything you have said is bang on.
I listen to your lectures over and over and I bought some of your books. I never want to eat sugar again. I lost 35 lbs in 5 weeks and I feel great. But why do people's eyes glaze over when I tell them sugar is bad for them?

Huge respect to this Dr. He is well educated and truly cares.
Wake up, America! I'm sharing this with my representatives at State and Federal levels. Education is the key; My people perish for lack of knowledge. Years ago was able to get my elderly father off ALL medication for type 2 diabetes by changing his diet...in 3 days!
l believe this man 100 percent. If you can study the fundamentals of biochemistry , Lustig makes perfect sense. The politics of this can disrupt the economy.
That's why the mainstream media shut people like Dr Lustig out.
I am an Lpn nurse now in RN school.
I wrote a paper on the negative effects of sugar and how it contributes to chronic diseases....my nursing professor told me choose another subject....since we had to present our papers.....
Yea I got chewed out....for my topic she began to discredit me saying I fo not know what I am talking about.
Enjoyed the video. Good to see someone other than Greg giving us information on sugar intake.
Interesting video, great info to follow through and do further research on. Thanks CrossFit!
Thank you very much Dr. Lustig. I am lucky to have come across your videos. It is not late for me to improve my health after listening to you and the others.
everyone should see this.
Lustig's presentations are so fascinating. If you look up his presentations at various institutions, he uses so many slides with helpful data that you can see and follow along to, as well as slides that show processes that make it easier to grasp what he is getting at.
Dr. Lustig rocks, this is one honest, smart and sincere man.
thank you for valuable information.. god bless you... Long live Dr. Lustig....
Dr.Lustig is a hell of an educator.. I will continue to follow and support him.
I only consume eggs, unprocessed cheese, broiled fish and seafood, non fried meats. Lost 67 pounds and blood sugar now normal. A1c went from 14.7 to 6.1
Stunning interview. Many books have been written about how bad sugar is for us. One of them is Sugar Blues, a classic in it's information, but we are determined to eat ourselves into the grave. With so much information being online these days, books are not as popular a source for finding out "stuff." And much information in books and literature is being left out of articles online, for a variety of reasons. Books are very much still important for finding out things we are forgetting. Loved this interview.
Read the book Salt Sugar Fat.
I started a keto diet and you would not believe how much fat I lost and the muscle I retained adding intermittent fasting! I 100 per cent agree your body does NOT need sugar at all to live and survive! I’m 40 and so much better no then when I was 22!!! clean keto diet is the way for me limiting dairy and I’m feeling fantastic! I’ve lost 25 kg so far I also found an amazing CrossFit box and I loveeeeee it!!!!!
Dr. Lustig, thank you! got my life back thanks to you!
He is correct, alcohol and fructose cause fatty liver and diabetes.
I know very few people who can get their heads around this.
That's cake, sodas, cookies, ice-cream, yoghurt, candies, honey, fruit, maple syrup, corn and more.
It cant be natural fruit and honey. That sounds off.
@@AbcAbc-nv9kz most fruits contain a lot of fructose, which is even worse for you than sucrose.
@@douglasscovil3447 : Most fruits also contain most of the B vitamins, Vit C, minerals, and fiber.
Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
You have to look at the total diet, too, not just one component. If the rest of the diet doesn't have much sugar, you can afford to eat a little fructose in a piece of fruit.
@@susanmercurio1060 I also think fruit and corn are good. Boiled corn in salt water tastes very good :), and nutritious. So are fruit. An apple a day :).
@@douglasscovil3447 Dr Lustig points out that whole fruit is a healthy package including significant amounts of fibres, different from fructose used as a cheap industrial food ingredient.
If you have type 2 Diabetes, you should sue Betty Crocker. All of her quick, easy to prepare meals, like potatoes au gratin, noodles almondine, mac and cheese, hamburger helper and tuna helper. That would also include cake mix, brownie mix, etc. These are processed foods to avoid.
Dr. Robert Lustig is a brilliant man and I support him completely.
wow, best health video in a long time. share this knowledge!
Dr. Lusting is a true, caring healer.
Dr. Lusting, thank you for your times and educational videos 🙏
Awesome interview! Very helpful and interesting information. Thank you.
Dr. Lustig was the initial eye-opener.
I hadn’t lived totally unhealthy and ate also valuable food and beverages. Still it was too much rubbish (including sugared stuff) I put into me.
I went on to follow his alerts by watching Dr. Eric Berg‘s and Dr Sten Ekberg’s channels.

When he says “right” he reminds me of Jason Fung - another nutritional hero!!
You mean "fight"?

I had gestational diabetes and when I had my twins I was chocked at what the hospital gave me to eat. Juice, a bag of chips soda…
If the world had more people like you, it would be a better place. You make a difference, Dr Igudia thank you for curing my Type 2 Diabetes and introducing your medical products to the worlds
Dr. Lustig is just so wonderful in explaining this !!
In studying Precision Nutrition, I am increasingly perplexed that it is now a recommended course for Crossfit as it certainly pushes Coke nutrition and that a calorie is a calorie and such.
Every ward in the Sheffield Hallamshire hospital, that I saw, has a coke dispensing machine. To some degree all hospitals are the same. This begs the question how do we educate the public if the NHS are endorsing disease promoting foods. Are they in the business of keeping us sick or healing us
I feel incredible and happy and with hope for a better world,
There are no words to describe a high value information,
Eternal thanks to Dr. Lustig
And a CrossFit
