No animal or human ever ate fruit all year round until modern times. Now we're drowning in it and bananas are about five teaspoons of sugar each. Imagine what you're eating. And people think they're good for them.
UK government have been repeating the mantra of 5 A DAY of fuit and veg for many many years. People think snacking 5 times on fruit is therefore okay. Fruit is super sweet these days
Bananas, as we know them, bear very little resemblence to the wild banana they are derived from. Wild bananas are only 3 or 4 inches long and full of seeds. 99% of the plant food we eat bears only superficial resemblance to the plant as it appeared in nature just a century or two ago.
@@tohopes This is true, but you can't run all round the equator. There's a limit. Coconut's grow all year round but they're not always sweet and they're great for fat too.Which ever way you look at it, fruit grows on trees and vines. They have to grow flowers, they have to take months to mature fruit. They're only ripe anywhere in the world for a couple of months a year.
I'm glad the low carb community is finally starting to figure out the effects of fructose in weight gain. I have been unsuccessfully been trying to tell all my low carb channels I watch that fructose is the main cause of obesity after seeing Dr Johnson on Mercola's podcast around 10 years ago. I noticed that us low carbers tend to think that just eating all carbs is the cause. This idea comes mostly from Gary Taubes. The reason I'm certain Richard Johnson is correct is because his explanation is the one that makes he most evolutionary sense.
In the next session he will tell you that a glucose overload (coming from any carbs) will trigger fructoneogenesis and then you have the same problem as with HFCS.
True low carbers are not eating a lot of fruit or berries. Eating a cup of berries every day, for eg., is not going to make you fat. When you cut carbs to 20-25/day they are so low that all carbs virtually are the same at that level because they don't reach the threshold of triggering all the "bad" responses inherent in overconsumption of carbohydrates. The dose really is the poison.
I am 25 years old male, I have average BMI I look skinny but I have some belly fat. I have extremely little knowledge about nutrition and I was about to start reading lengthy nutrition books. This video series will definitely streamline my learning process
Love this doctor. The most important thing that he says is to "think outside the box". I see this is getting away from big pharma and the normal Primary Care Physician. These doctors are mostly controlled by BIG PHARMA and are on a mission to prescribe us something every time we have a visit with them. I have completely change my eating lifestyle to the Ketogenics plan which includes intermittent fasting 8\16 hour protocol. I am 58 years old and have been on KETO for the past two years and also work out 4-5 days a week which includes cycling, cross fit and weight training. My weight has went from 230 lbs to a consistent weight of around 180-185 lbs and even lower when fasting more. Again, like the doctor say "Think outside the BOX" and don't listen to the doctors who are totally controlled by BIG PHARMA etc.
Years ago, before I learned about keto, I was only able to lose weight by purposely keeping myself hungry all day for months on end. It worked but it was brutal. I always wondered *WHY* my body was working against me. *WHY* did it become so darned efficient with every erg of energy when I wanted it to frivolously waste energy. Now I know.
Thank you so much to all those for all the work that was put into this. I am on a Fodmap diet and have noticed the difference whenever I eat something that has sugar, or foods that ferment in my gut. This was interesting and a well presented lecture. I look forward for the part 2. "THANKYOU" This information is so very very important. Love and Light to all and be safe. 💜🤗👌
This is why I only eat berries when they are in season (about 6 glorious weeks). After berries, I'll enjoy some local seasonal peaches with full-fat yogurt (a few more gluttonous weeks). Then it's back to Paleo/Carnivore for the rest of the year.
This is great! But there's another huge reason why animals become overweight-it's the nuts, peanuts, and seeds that they also eat in autumn. The high amount of arginine in these foods increase appetite, and the high linoleic acid content, which turns into free radicals, causes weight gain, as a high amount of these free radicals is found with obesity and diabetes. So, if you want to lose weight, it's also important to avoid nuts, peanuts, and seeds, and the modern oils that they make from these foods.
Loved this video and I am excited about Prof Richard Johnson's hypothesis. For the past 12 years I've been into Vegan/Vegetarian but changed to Paleo/ Carnivore/low carb healthy keto due to plant toxins. And before that I did Natural Hygiene, Macrobiotic, Fit for Life, SAD, then Atkins and PSMF and another long stint of SAD. I'm pretty sure processed Vegetable and Seed Oils is a factor in obesity and the disease of our civilization...Like the great presentation Dr. Chris Knobbe has on You Tube - 'Diseases of Civilization: Are Seed Oil Excesses the Unifying Mechanism?' ruclips.net/video/7kGnfXXIKZM/видео.html I am also very impressed with Why We Get Sick: The Hidden Epidemic at the Root of Most Chronic Disease--and How to Fight It by Benjamin Bikman I have questions about uric acid, fat , salt and hydration that I hope 'Nature Wants us to be Fat' will answer. I'm going to have to listen to this and II and III over and over plus will read the book and collect some more to think about. No matter I will always be asking questions. One day we have to have personalized medicine, better environments and the fuel of the mind-body connection to progress. Bless you and your work Richard Johnson.
When I went carnivore my 30 year history of fibromyalgia and bladder pain went away. I couldn't turn my neck without pain. All gone now. Also trigger fingers healed and chronic depression. I wish I had known before I spent a ton of money putting in raised garden beds!
The good news is, I don't eat fast foods- fries, burgers, hotdogs, soft drinks, salty foods, fruit juices or eat a tremendous amount of fruit. I go through periods though where I eat cake and cookies and have sugar cravings. (Have diabetes history on both sides of my family) I have always found that get hungry about a half hour afterwards no matter what I eat even after a big meal of mostly protein.I often stuff myself hoping that I won't experience it. (Was on Atkins diet for a couple of weeks and it didn't really help this need to eat more often). I'm not overweight. I just can't account for this hunger. Any thoughts? Your video was fascinating and informative. Thanks you for it!
When you say that fruit has a lot of vitamins and minerals that block the effects of fructose, why does it matter then how much of it you eat? The balance would still be there, no? I think the weight gain only comes when you combine large amounts of fructose with fat (and inactivity).
Something to consider is that the HBA1c test only measures glycation damage to cells from glucose. Fructose is 8x more glycating than glucose but there is no clinical laboratory diagnostic test available. Glycated blood cells damage the endothelial lining of arteries leading to clotting and plaque formation.
How on earth can anyone know if the mouse can or can not taste anything ? I surmise the only thing you can determine is that a ' no taste mouse ' may have a less sensitive taste apparatus " than a normal mouse. I would like to see the experiment that shows a mouse has no taste at all.
in 1960 in New York Man was very slim, uric acid already higher, so probably bad fats PUFA,s, came and wowww we have obesity etc. . Probably thats the next Factor, together with Fructose. Thank you, super new information, Bravo
Awesome! We, from low carb space, know most of those things. The problem is with the other people that are listening to the media lies that fructose is good, diet should be balanced and other blah blahs that does not make up since just profit for industries. Unfortunately, never ever, the whole planet will go to LCHF way of life to avoid those cascades of issues starting with metabolic syndrome and their subsequent illnesses, low immunity, low antioxidant levels....
being fat maybe not even the problem... the wrong type of fat is the problem after all there are fat people that are perfectly healthy and thin people who are sick as f*** too much polyunsaturated fats are the problem seeds and seed oils are the problem
Thank you. Trying to get the Audible book with wisper sync. This is very interesting. Will get Kindle and Audible if I cannot work this out. Working now and listening, but reading helps me sort it out.
Fruit trees are there year round but they still only harvest for a few months each year in the southern US. Is it different at the equator? Is there such a variety of plants that something is blooming year round for them to eat?
Topic is very relevant, great information. Connects the dots via evolution to the modern shift in diet and its impact on creating so many health issues. Looking forward to part 2.
So if you have high uric acid, you are damaging mitochondria, so you have less energy and you get fatter more easier as instead of energy food goes to fat? OK, so just give Allopurinol to an obese patient and you'll improve his metabolic syndrome. I wonder if there are any succesful studies on this subject
this is interesting, but what if youve had diabetes, hypertension, and high triglycerides for about 15 years- but have uric acid levels too low for a meter to read?
Surely knowledge is power, so why wouldn’t an overweight/obese person once cognisant of this then change their diet? Furthermore, a “normal” size person knowing a trap has been set for them, avoid it?
The 'obesity epidemic' should be renamed to 'the metabolic epidemic'. If obesity is a symptom of the underlying metabolic dysfunction, then it doesn't help to use such a stigmatized word in the public discourse, it will get everyone nowhere. Plus, it leaves out all the other conditions that can occur as a result without high bodyfat percentage. Policy will go nowhere as long as people curl up into the fetal position and stick their fingers in their ears when you use the word 'fat' or 'obese' or anything similar.
I would say that you must stop hurting it first. When I was given a horrible metabolic diagnosis, it flipped a switch in me. I went home and cleaned out the sugar and anything related to it, the rest is a success story. Good luck.
Drink only water eat 80-20 hamburger sea salt eggs and a small amount of avocado for fiber for a month. Eat twice a day fast for 24hrs once a week. Its not as bad as it sounds eat till you are full. Good luck!
Eating 3 kg of big grapes per day loosened up muscles (now alkalanized?) and after 10 days reduced edemic swelling in the legs. No gout in the big toe; I just had gout in a few months ago. Felt less phlegmatic and a bit clearer. Glucose in blood rose to 190 initially, but later it dropped to
Your muscles are your biggest energy sink for utilizing carbohydrates/sugar/blood glucose. If you have been keto for a while those muscles became temporarily insulin resistant (down regulated number of insulin receptors, preferring ketones for fuel) and eating grapes restored your insulin levels to bring your blood sugar back down. That's why some people have said it's good for some folks on keto to do keto in cycles to retain metabolic flexibility. Doesn't seem to be necessary for people who did not have insulin resistance to begin with. Unfortunately, most of the population is insulin resistant (at least 80 percent). Insulin resistance happens before diabetes is formally diagnosed which means the body can no longer compensate. Some diabetics have tired or diminished islet cells in their pancreas from sheer exhaustion and are nearly a hybrid of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Bottom line: best not to overconsume fruits and carbs as that will slow down healing from insulin resistance.

What's the connection between intelligent design and the flat earth myth, @@unassailable6138? I wonder if the flat earth thing was invented by creationists poking fun at microbe-to-man evolution. Do you know anything about proteins?
In humans excess fructose consumption for extended periods of time causes fatty liver, which is why so many young people now have this problem; this poison is in practically everything they drink and eat. Remember, the liver is the only organ in the body that can metabolize fructose. But fructose only has a glycemic index of 23. Glucose has a glycemic index of 100. Almost all signs and symptoms of metabolic disorder (obesity, diabetes, hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases) are caused by hyperinsulinemia, which is caused by years of chronically elevated levels of glucose in the bloodstream which, in turn, is caused by eating far to many carbohydrates, in particular processed sugar. All of this science is already well known. Sugar and carbohydrates cause an insulin spike. When insulin levels drop, it stimulates hormones that cause hunger, inducing a vicious cycle of overeating that will continue as long as high carb foods are available. Usually for life, in Westerners. Fructose is toxic, in much the same way ETOH is, but it is demonstrably not the cause of the obesity epidemic.
Wrong. Fructose IS the cause of insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and diabetes. If you were right, diabetes would historically track with glucose consumption. This is not reality. Societies have been eating glucose heavy diets for 10,000 years, and we only see diabetes when fructose is added to the food supply, true fact. Ancient Egyptians, got lots of metabolic disease, and ate lots of fructose. They ate tons of honey. Japanese, Native Americans, Central Americans, South East Asians and people on the island of Tukisenta ate high starch, low fructose diets without getting diabetes. Modern humans are eating tons of fructose, and diabetes is rampant. This is Dr. Johnson's idea. Fructose is the cause of metabolic syndrome, period.
How come most human frugivores present as anorexic? There must be more complexity than just fructose by itself. Sir Philip Randle published glucose fatty acid cycle, The Lancet, 1963. Later named the Randle Cycle. I almost thought presenter was going to mention it for a minute. It’s frustrating that low carbers are so close, yet so far away from the long published published mechanism. Mixing excess carbs and fats = chronic systemic inflammation, which underpins diabetes and most other modern chronic diseases. It’s only been 60 years, I suppose we’ll have to be a little more patient.
1) There's no such thing as "most" human frugivores; all humans are physiologically frugivorous great apes. That's as nonsensical as saying "most" bear omnivores or "most" lion carnivores. 2) It's absolute hogwash that the majority of humans who eat their species-specific diet of fresh and ripe fruit are anorexic; sounds like you've been watching cherry-picked propaganda videos of people with eating disorders. 3) Of course what's presented in this video is total rubbish. Sugar doesn't make you fat, never has, and never will. Eating fat is what makes you fat. Yes, you can avoid that by simultaneously starving your body of carbohydrate, its extremely strongly preferred fuel source, but then you'll be flooding your body with adrenal stress hormones and causing massive metabolic damage.
So, first, as I mentioned, a lot of whole fruits have other ingredients that block fructose. Nevertheless, one can trigger the switch if you eat a lot of fruit, and especially fruit juice. This can cause all of the features of metabolic syndrome, such as diabetes, fatty liver and hypertension. However, weight gain results when fructose causes hunger (from leptin resistance) that makes you eat a lot more than you normally do. So weight gain is tied to caloric intake. Carbs are only 4 calories/gm, so it takes a lot of carbs to cause substantial weight gain even if you are leptin resistance. However, if you are leptin resistant from fructose, then eating fatty foods causes rapid weight gain. So a person just eating fruit will likely activate the switch, develop diabetes, etc, but will not be that overweight. In Japan there are a lot of people with a smaller version of abdominal obesity but they also have activated the switch and are getting diabetes. However, they are not getting the high fat diet. So weight gain is best done by eating fructose to cause leptin resistance, and then eating a high fat diet to provide the caloric load. I hope this helps..
Probably because fruit is low in Protein, so frugivores have their bodies converting their own muscle tissue (and fat) to keep aminoacids available for anabolism and maintance of tissues.
@@richardjohnson3955 Hi Richard - I appreciate your reply. I try to eat close to zero grams of fructose as possible. I'm quite a strict carnivore. Most dietary fructose is converted into triacyl glycerides, by the liver, and this should be avoided. However, a diet high in sugars (including fructose) and very low in fat, does not result in Randle Cycle impairment. There's a myriad of other problems it causes and should be avoided like the plague. However, a high carb (and very low fat) OR a moderate (or high) fat (very low to no carb) macronutrient diet will both alleviate chronic systemic inflammation (chronic Randle Cycle impairment), associated with the buzz-phrases "insulin resistance" and "leptin resistance". The mixed macronutrient standard diets trigger Randle Cycle impairment, often, also, contains toxic seed oils, has plant originated anti-nutrients, pro-inflammatory chemicals and outright plant toxins (Oxalates, lectins, hormone analogues, goitrogens etc). With FRUCTOSE, like a toxic cherry, being on top of that pile. This is to toxically sweeten all of the other toxic plant based sludge. Fructose is bad. No question. It's the worst sugar. We can't ignore its partners' in crime. Humans, ultimately, require a species' specific and species' appropriate diet. Meat and associated fat from ruminants, some fish, some eggs, some salt, water, sunshine and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ELSE. There's no need to get entangled into biochemistry and physiological mechanistic reductionism, for a mechanism du jour, like fructose or seed oils. It's all bad and the solution is simple simple - eat like our ancient ancestors (pre agrarian revolution). N14 and N15, C12 and C13 stable isotopes unequivocally back this.
@@richardjohnson3955 Perhaps this would explain the correlation of obesity with North American cheese consumption (- a chart that IIRC showed a stunning correlation)? If so, then the obesity epidemic may be a function of both fructose and fat consumption? Seems like a multifactorial problem.
If this is THE explanation, why is sugar not prohibited from sale? Is "sugar industry" so strong that the the health of the world population doesn't matter? I am confused.
Governments of the world get mega bucks from big pharma, so no, you will never see a ban on something that is in reality a cash cow for them. They may introduce sugar "taxes", but that again is only so the governments can skim even more money off the people, imho.
The Hazda ingest a lot of honey that contains fructose and they have a lot of caries. I believe they have actually activated the switch as they forage all day long but their daily energy is the same as a regular person because they have reduced their resting energy metabolism. This is similar to what we observed when the biologic switch is on. My guess is that they are not getting that much food so the switch is helping to protect them from starvation as opposed to making them fat.
I became obese but I never ate fruit in my life. I hate fruit. If you constantly eat pasta and bread you can get fat. I quit alcohol 30 years ago so that's not it. I have certainly NOT been fructose-free though.
alcohol metabolizes to fructose, so you had a LOT if you drank a lot. they add in fructose and sugar in most meat, e.g. deli meats. the food industry knows that sugar will make you eat more. it makes profit and it's cheap
I don't get this. If you look at fruitarians on RUclips, they are all lean. Maybe not totally healthy, but they aren't fat by any means. How does this relate to the doctor's theory if all they eat is FRUIT and are lean??
Doc. I don't see your logic is saying we're supposed to be fat. We don't hyboernate, we don't sit on eggs. We rarely ever have to starve. In fact now it's a bit late to say we are designed to get fat. We could put on a pound or two for the winter when the fruit was on the trees but I can't say that's getting fat. It gives us a little warmth so we can go out and catch some meat in the snow.
The switch was not really meant to make us fat as much as it was to help protect us from starvation when food was less available. The problem is that now we are eating a lot of fructose that is present in sugar, and this is turning this biologic switch on chronically, so that we are in overdrive, and obesity is a result
The SCIENCE you do regarding fructose and the effects you can actually record and report...that is fascinating. The CONJECTURE and historical hypotheses are just that. I always pull back credibility the moment someone starts telling me what humans ate 1 million years ago, not to mention 15 miilion years ago, or what trees they were swinging around from. 🤔 15 miilion seconds is 173 days. And we think we know what creatures were doing 15 million years ago? Hubris. Stick with the science you can do and observe and report today. JMO

I am 25 years old male, I have average BMI I look skinny but I have some belly fat. I have extremely little knowledge about nutrition and I was about to start reading lengthy nutrition books. This video series will definitely streamline my learning process
Love this doctor. The most important thing that he says is to "think outside the box". I see this is getting away from big pharma and the normal Primary Care Physician. These doctors are mostly controlled by BIG PHARMA and are on a mission to prescribe us something every time we have a visit with them. I have completely change my eating lifestyle to the Ketogenics plan which includes intermittent fasting 8\16 hour protocol. I am 58 years old and have been on KETO for the past two years and also work out 4-5 days a week which includes cycling, cross fit and weight training. My weight has went from 230 lbs to a consistent weight of around 180-185 lbs and even lower when fasting more.
Again, like the doctor say "Think outside the BOX" and don't listen to the doctors who are totally controlled by BIG PHARMA etc.
Can’t wait for part 2! 😀
Couldn’t wait… bought the book. It’s fascinating!

Well it's out on RUclips now.
Thank you!

Years ago, before I learned about keto, I was only able to lose weight by purposely keeping myself hungry all day for months on end. It worked but it was brutal. I always wondered *WHY* my body was working against me. *WHY* did it become so darned efficient with every erg of energy when I wanted it to frivolously waste energy. Now I know.
Fantastic, succinct delivery for certain!
Thank you so much to all those for all the work that was put into this. I am on a Fodmap diet and have noticed the difference whenever I eat something that has sugar, or foods that ferment in my gut. This was interesting and a well presented lecture. I look forward for the part 2. "THANKYOU" This information is so very very important. Love and Light to all and be safe. 💜🤗👌
This is why I only eat berries when they are in season (about 6 glorious weeks). After berries, I'll enjoy some local seasonal peaches with full-fat yogurt (a few more gluttonous weeks). Then it's back to Paleo/Carnivore for the rest of the year.
Sounds like you've hit your own personal motherlode there!
Did you know that a banana is a berry ? And strawberries, raspberries and blackberries are not berries at all.
This is great! But there's another huge reason why animals become overweight-it's the nuts, peanuts, and seeds that they also eat in autumn. The high amount of arginine in these foods increase appetite, and the high linoleic acid content, which turns into free radicals, causes weight gain, as a high amount of these free radicals is found with obesity and diabetes. So, if you want to lose weight, it's also important to avoid nuts, peanuts, and seeds, and the modern oils that they make from these foods.
This area is worth your trouble. I was Obese 3 years ago but not I’m just over weight and without medication.

Fascinating talk. First I've heard of uric acid contributor to obesity.
I haven't yet finished the video but I now know how to fix my gout ... yay!
Another part of the puzzle. Thank you for Sharing your information. Kind regards from Germany, Robert
Beware! 1 Krug = many carbs & calories ! 😁😁😁
Looking forward for part 2.
Very enjoyable presentation, thank you
Goddam, today i learned why I am overweight, have uric acid and gout, and why I can't lose weight. THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!
Loved this video and I am excited about Prof Richard Johnson's hypothesis. For the past 12 years I've been into Vegan/Vegetarian but changed to Paleo/ Carnivore/low carb healthy keto due to plant toxins. And before that I did Natural Hygiene, Macrobiotic, Fit for Life, SAD, then Atkins and PSMF and another long stint of SAD.
I'm pretty sure processed Vegetable and Seed Oils is a factor in obesity and the disease of our civilization...Like the great presentation Dr. Chris Knobbe has on You Tube - 'Diseases of Civilization: Are Seed Oil Excesses the Unifying Mechanism?' ruclips.net/video/7kGnfXXIKZM/видео.html
I am also very impressed with Why We Get Sick: The Hidden Epidemic at the Root of Most Chronic Disease--and How to Fight It by Benjamin Bikman
I have questions about uric acid, fat , salt and hydration that I hope 'Nature Wants us to be Fat' will answer. I'm going to have to listen to this and II and III over and over plus will read the book and collect some more to think about. No matter I will always be asking questions. One day we have to have personalized medicine, better environments and the fuel of the mind-body connection to progress.
Bless you and your work Richard Johnson.
When I went carnivore my 30 year history of fibromyalgia and bladder pain went away. I couldn't turn my neck without pain. All gone now. Also trigger fingers healed and chronic depression. I wish I had known before I spent a ton of money putting in raised garden beds!
Excellent presentation
The good news is, I don't eat fast foods- fries, burgers, hotdogs, soft drinks, salty foods, fruit juices or eat a tremendous amount of fruit. I go through periods though where I eat cake and cookies and have sugar cravings. (Have diabetes history on both sides of my family) I have always found that get hungry about a half hour afterwards no matter what I eat even after a big meal of mostly protein.I often stuff myself hoping that I won't experience it. (Was on Atkins diet for a couple of weeks and it didn't really help this need to eat more often). I'm not overweight. I just can't account for this hunger. Any thoughts? Your video was fascinating and informative. Thanks you for it!
Please add links to the other two videos in your future show notes. Thanks
I'm not a science person but I was able to understand this, thank you.
That is wonderful
Interestingly narrated with some passion. Great. Thank you
Thank you so much, this really helps
Such an insightful presentation from the very doctor who unraveled the Uric Acid mystery. ❤
Eating low carb, watched the MANY low-carb videos, I have *NEVER* 🚨 heard anyone say why I/we feel great when eat sugar.
Cant wait for the next part!!!!
When you say that fruit has a lot of vitamins and minerals that block the effects of fructose, why does it matter then how much of it you eat? The balance would still be there, no?
I think the weight gain only comes when you combine large amounts of fructose with fat (and inactivity).
Something to consider is that the HBA1c test only measures glycation damage to cells from glucose. Fructose is 8x more glycating than glucose but there is no clinical laboratory diagnostic test available. Glycated blood cells damage the endothelial lining of arteries leading to clotting and plaque formation.
So incredibly interesting, thank you!
I can't have any fruit. I respond badly to any of it with gout and feeling terrible.
Fantastic presentation.Wealth of information and its translation into real life. I will share the information with all my patients. GRATITUDE.
Brilliant, excellent work ! I also have purchased the book.
How on earth can anyone know if the mouse can or can not taste anything ? I surmise the only thing you can determine is that a ' no taste mouse ' may have a less sensitive taste apparatus " than a normal mouse. I would like to see the experiment that shows a mouse has no taste at all.
The experiment in the mice without taste still preferring sugar water is fascinating and to me is a strong point in favor of fat drive.
See my question. How do they know the mouse can't taste ?
Great lecture! 👍
Thank you 🙏❤️❤️❤️
thank you!
please part 2 as fast as possible pls im hyped
in 1960 in New York Man was very slim, uric acid already higher, so probably bad fats PUFA,s, came and wowww we have obesity etc. . Probably thats the next Factor, together with Fructose. Thank you, super new information, Bravo
Awesome! We, from low carb space, know most of those things. The problem is with the other people that are listening to the media lies that fructose is good, diet should be balanced and other blah blahs that does not make up since just profit for industries. Unfortunately, never ever, the whole planet will go to LCHF way of life to avoid those cascades of issues starting with metabolic syndrome and their subsequent illnesses, low immunity, low antioxidant levels....
Beautiful presentation....Very revealing...Thanks Doc......
Thank you, that was awesome
I grew up on the land eating 100% organic from the land. Ate grass fed animal products. No body was fat.
Very interesting. It's great to see lateral, critical, creative thinking combined with commitment to sound scientific methods.
Thank you for your kind words
being fat maybe not even the problem... the wrong type of fat is the problem after all there are fat people that are perfectly healthy and thin people who are sick as f*** too much polyunsaturated fats are the problem seeds and seed oils are the problem
Thank you. Trying to get the Audible book with wisper sync. This is very interesting. Will get Kindle and Audible if I cannot work this out. Working now and listening, but reading helps me sort it out.

Fruit trees are there year round but they still only harvest for a few months each year in the southern US. Is it different at the equator? Is there such a variety of plants that something is blooming year round for them to eat?

Lol I got a few weeks stored here too
Topic is very relevant, great information. Connects the dots via evolution to the modern shift in diet and its impact on creating so many health issues. Looking forward to part 2.
Thank you!
So if you have high uric acid, you are damaging mitochondria, so you have less energy and you get fatter more easier as instead of energy food goes to fat? OK, so just give Allopurinol to an obese patient and you'll improve his metabolic syndrome. I wonder if there are any succesful studies on this subject
That is an interesting suggestion for those who refuse to cut the cause from their diet.
Don’t travel down the obesity Iles in the grocery, fresh and meat and walk if possible to get those items.
this is interesting, but what if youve had diabetes, hypertension, and high triglycerides for about 15 years- but have uric acid levels too low for a meter to read?
Surely knowledge is power, so why wouldn’t an overweight/obese person once cognisant of this then change their diet? Furthermore, a “normal” size person knowing a trap has been set for them, avoid it?
Fantastic xx
When is the next talk published? cant wait!
Thank you! It's tremendous
The 'obesity epidemic' should be renamed to 'the metabolic epidemic'. If obesity is a symptom of the underlying metabolic dysfunction, then it doesn't help to use such a stigmatized word in the public discourse, it will get everyone nowhere. Plus, it leaves out all the other conditions that can occur as a result without high bodyfat percentage. Policy will go nowhere as long as people curl up into the fetal position and stick their fingers in their ears when you use the word 'fat' or 'obese' or anything similar.
Fruits are not a problem. The processed foods are
Congrats professor, nice job..
When is the next part airing? Next week?
Out today at diet doctor on RUclips
Sorry at low carb down under
Excellent talk
What is the fastes way to heal the gut?
Take glutamine. Also drink cabbage juice.
Probably fast for two weeks. Hell IDK don't listen to me man.
I would say that you must stop hurting it first. When I was given a horrible metabolic diagnosis, it flipped a switch in me. I went home and cleaned out the sugar and anything related to it, the rest is a success story. Good luck.
Drink only water eat 80-20 hamburger sea salt eggs and a small amount of avocado for fiber for a month. Eat twice a day fast for 24hrs once a week. Its not as bad as it sounds eat till you are full. Good luck!
Get on a carnivore diet.
thanks you very much
When is part 2 coming?
Is there a part 2?
Out today
@@jdw5889 would you be able to point out where I can find it please? (The second part of Dr. Johnson’s talk ). Much!
I thought Gary Taubes pretty much had all this sewn up back in 2007 with Good Calories, Bad Calories.
Dr. Johnson, does lactose becomes fructose after consuming?
Eating 3 kg of big grapes per day loosened up muscles (now alkalanized?) and after 10 days reduced edemic swelling in the legs. No gout in the big toe; I just had gout in a few months ago. Felt less phlegmatic and a bit clearer.
Glucose in blood rose to 190 initially, but later it dropped to
Your muscles are your biggest energy sink for utilizing carbohydrates/sugar/blood glucose. If you have been keto for a while those muscles became temporarily insulin resistant (down regulated number of insulin receptors, preferring ketones for fuel) and eating grapes restored your insulin levels to bring your blood sugar back down. That's why some people have said it's good for some folks on keto to do keto in cycles to retain metabolic flexibility. Doesn't seem to be necessary for people who did not have insulin resistance to begin with. Unfortunately, most of the population is insulin resistant (at least 80 percent). Insulin resistance happens before diabetes is formally diagnosed which means the body can no longer compensate. Some diabetics have tired or diminished islet cells in their pancreas from sheer exhaustion and are nearly a hybrid of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Bottom line: best not to overconsume fruits and carbs as that will slow down healing from insulin resistance.

In humans excess fructose consumption for extended periods of time causes fatty liver, which is why so many young people now have this problem; this poison is in practically everything they drink and eat. Remember, the liver is the only organ in the body that can metabolize fructose. But fructose only has a glycemic index of 23. Glucose has a glycemic index of 100. Almost all signs and symptoms of metabolic disorder (obesity, diabetes, hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases) are caused by hyperinsulinemia, which is caused by years of chronically elevated levels of glucose in the bloodstream which, in turn, is caused by eating far to many carbohydrates, in particular processed sugar. All of this science is already well known. Sugar and carbohydrates cause an insulin spike. When insulin levels drop, it stimulates hormones that cause hunger, inducing a vicious cycle of overeating that will continue as long as high carb foods are available. Usually for life, in Westerners. Fructose is toxic, in much the same way ETOH is, but it is demonstrably not the cause of the obesity epidemic.
Wrong. Fructose IS the cause of insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and diabetes.
If you were right, diabetes would historically track with glucose consumption. This is not reality. Societies have been eating glucose heavy diets for 10,000 years, and we only see diabetes when fructose is added to the food supply, true fact.
Ancient Egyptians, got lots of metabolic disease, and ate lots of fructose. They ate tons of honey.
Japanese, Native Americans, Central Americans, South East Asians and people on the island of Tukisenta ate high starch, low fructose diets without getting diabetes.
Modern humans are eating tons of fructose, and diabetes is rampant.
This is Dr. Johnson's idea. Fructose is the cause of metabolic syndrome, period.
Any one have any idea, please, when Part 2 will be available?
How come most human frugivores present as anorexic? There must be more complexity than just fructose by itself. Sir Philip Randle published glucose fatty acid cycle, The Lancet, 1963. Later named the Randle Cycle. I almost thought presenter was going to mention it for a minute. It’s frustrating that low carbers are so close, yet so far away from the long published published mechanism. Mixing excess carbs and fats = chronic systemic inflammation, which underpins diabetes and most other modern chronic diseases. It’s only been 60 years, I suppose we’ll have to be a little more patient.
1) There's no such thing as "most" human frugivores; all humans are physiologically frugivorous great apes. That's as nonsensical as saying "most" bear omnivores or "most" lion carnivores.
2) It's absolute hogwash that the majority of humans who eat their species-specific diet of fresh and ripe fruit are anorexic; sounds like you've been watching cherry-picked propaganda videos of people with eating disorders.
3) Of course what's presented in this video is total rubbish. Sugar doesn't make you fat, never has, and never will. Eating fat is what makes you fat. Yes, you can avoid that by simultaneously starving your body of carbohydrate, its extremely strongly preferred fuel source, but then you'll be flooding your body with adrenal stress hormones and causing massive metabolic damage.
So, first, as I mentioned, a lot of whole fruits have other ingredients that block fructose. Nevertheless, one can trigger the switch if you eat a lot of fruit, and especially fruit juice. This can cause all of the features of metabolic syndrome, such as diabetes, fatty liver and hypertension. However, weight gain results when fructose causes hunger (from leptin resistance) that makes you eat a lot more than you normally do. So weight gain is tied to caloric intake. Carbs are only 4 calories/gm, so it takes a lot of carbs to cause substantial weight gain even if you are leptin resistance. However, if you are leptin resistant from fructose, then eating fatty foods causes rapid weight gain. So a person just eating fruit will likely activate the switch, develop diabetes, etc, but will not be that overweight. In Japan there are a lot of people with a smaller version of abdominal obesity but they also have activated the switch and are getting diabetes. However, they are not getting the high fat diet. So weight gain is best done by eating fructose to cause leptin resistance, and then eating a high fat diet to provide the caloric load. I hope this helps..
Probably because fruit is low in Protein, so frugivores have their bodies converting their own muscle tissue (and fat) to keep aminoacids available for anabolism and maintance of tissues.
@@richardjohnson3955 Hi Richard - I appreciate your reply. I try to eat close to zero grams of fructose as possible. I'm quite a strict carnivore. Most dietary fructose is converted into triacyl glycerides, by the liver, and this should be avoided. However, a diet high in sugars (including fructose) and very low in fat, does not result in Randle Cycle impairment. There's a myriad of other problems it causes and should be avoided like the plague. However, a high carb (and very low fat) OR a moderate (or high) fat (very low to no carb) macronutrient diet will both alleviate chronic systemic inflammation (chronic Randle Cycle impairment), associated with the buzz-phrases "insulin resistance" and "leptin resistance". The mixed macronutrient standard diets trigger Randle Cycle impairment, often, also, contains toxic seed oils, has plant originated anti-nutrients, pro-inflammatory chemicals and outright plant toxins (Oxalates, lectins, hormone analogues, goitrogens etc). With FRUCTOSE, like a toxic cherry, being on top of that pile. This is to toxically sweeten all of the other toxic plant based sludge.
Fructose is bad. No question. It's the worst sugar. We can't ignore its partners' in crime.
Humans, ultimately, require a species' specific and species' appropriate diet. Meat and associated fat from ruminants, some fish, some eggs, some salt, water, sunshine and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ELSE. There's no need to get entangled into biochemistry and physiological mechanistic reductionism, for a mechanism du jour, like fructose or seed oils. It's all bad and the solution is simple simple - eat like our ancient ancestors (pre agrarian revolution). N14 and N15, C12 and C13 stable isotopes unequivocally back this.
@@richardjohnson3955 Perhaps this would explain the correlation of obesity with North American cheese consumption (- a chart that IIRC showed a stunning correlation)? If so, then the obesity epidemic may be a function of both fructose and fat consumption? Seems like a multifactorial problem.
I need my KHK knocked out!!
If what you say is true, why then are fruitarians the thinnest people around?
If this is THE explanation, why is sugar not prohibited from sale? Is "sugar industry" so strong that the the health of the world population doesn't matter? I am confused.
have you heard of lobbies?
That’s exactly why!!! Lmao 🤣
Governments of the world get mega bucks from big pharma, so no, you will never see a ban on something that is in reality a cash cow for them. They may introduce sugar "taxes", but that again is only so the governments can skim even more money off the people, imho.
The sugar industry is this strong.
The science is strong, but so are politics. I believe we are slowly making headway, though.
"You know"
I am wondering if this fits with the Haza communities: is it possible that they eat a lot more sugary foods but have a difference in genes?
The Hazda ingest a lot of honey that contains fructose and they have a lot of caries. I believe they have actually activated the switch as they forage all day long but their daily energy is the same as a regular person because they have reduced their resting energy metabolism. This is similar to what we observed when the biologic switch is on. My guess is that they are not getting that much food so the switch is helping to protect them from starvation as opposed to making them fat.
I became obese but I never ate fruit in my life. I hate fruit. If you constantly eat pasta and bread you can get fat. I quit alcohol 30 years ago so that's not it. I have certainly NOT been fructose-free though.
Fructose is in candy.. ate that for sure.
alcohol metabolizes to fructose, so you had a LOT if you drank a lot.
they add in fructose and sugar in most meat, e.g. deli meats. the food industry knows that sugar will make you eat more. it makes profit and it's cheap
Table sugar is 50% glucose 50% fructose. So if you eat anything with any sugar in it, youve consumed fructose.
Wow
I don't get this. If you look at fruitarians on RUclips, they are all lean. Maybe not totally healthy, but they aren't fat by any means. How does this relate to the doctor's theory if all they eat is FRUIT and are lean??
It seems that frit juices (especially clear) like apple, grape, and orange are also strongly contraindicated
yes, that is right!
He might be a biochemist but he is a piss poor archaeologist. 17 million yBP is too early for Out of Africa. He should look for a later exodus.
Doc. I don't see your logic is saying we're supposed to be fat. We don't hyboernate, we don't sit on eggs. We rarely ever have to starve. In fact now it's a bit late to say we are designed to get fat. We could put on a pound or two for the winter when the fruit was on the trees but I can't say that's getting fat. It gives us a little warmth so we can go out and catch some meat in the snow.
The switch was not really meant to make us fat as much as it was to help protect us from starvation when food was less available. The problem is that now we are eating a lot of fructose that is present in sugar, and this is turning this biologic switch on chronically, so that we are in overdrive, and obesity is a result
You forgot about the water recycling potential of fat.
Any1 read the book, curious to hear your thoughts and if it's any good for the layman?
Not yet but I will.
I live what he’s talking about. I bet the book makes great sense. Good luck.
The SCIENCE you do regarding fructose and the effects you can actually record and report...that is fascinating.
The CONJECTURE and historical hypotheses are just that. I always pull back credibility the moment someone starts telling me what humans ate 1 million years ago, not to mention 15 miilion years ago, or what trees they were swinging around from. 🤔
15 miilion seconds is 173 days. And we think we know what creatures were doing 15 million years ago? Hubris.
Stick with the science you can do and observe and report today. JMO
can anyone summarize it for me?
