Prof. Robert Lustig - 'The three faces of metabolic syndrome'
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 май 2024
- Robert H. Lustig, M.D., M.S.L. is Professor emeritus of Pediatrics, Division of Endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). He specialises in the field of neuroendocrinology, with an emphasis on the regulation of energy balance by the central nervous system. His research and clinical practice has focused on childhood obesity and diabetes. Dr. Lustig holds a Bachelor’s in Science from MIT, a Doctorate in Medicine from Cornell University. Medical College, and a Master’s of Studies in Law from U.C. Hastings College of the Law.
Dr. Lustig has fostered a global discussion of metabolic health and nutrition, exposing some of the leading myths that underlie the current pandemic of diet-related disease. He believes the food business, by pushing processed food loaded with sugar, has hacked our bodies and minds to pursue pleasure instead of happiness; fostering today’s epidemics of addiction and depression. Yet by focusing on real food, we can beat the odds against sugar, processed food, obesity, and disease.

Yourself Dr. Lustig, Dr.Fung and Dr Berg have saved my life. 550 lb , 42 tears old. Was dying. Cut ALL carbs grains, sugar, started strict keto / carnivore diet with daily 23 hour fast. Lost 220 lb so far. No hunger, cravings or slip ups. My kids will not be burying their dad. I owe you my deepest gratitude.
It sounds as if YOU are saving your life - I am totally impressed. So many of us let excuses get In the way of better Health - you’re an inspiration to us all
Well past 60 coming up on three years carnivore, am stronger than ever & feel like I'm 30 ....it IS all about diet ...congratulations for your success
Wow. Well done. That's such an incredible personal achievement for you. I agree, these Doctors are so helpful in educating us and providing necessary tools to understand what to do. But the reality is, YOU had to find the discipline and resolve to follow through on their advice. It was YOUR blood, sweat n tears that got you where you are. You made it happen. Well done..
CONGRATULATON Chris !!!!!!!!!!! You are lucky, I have immense cravings after only 16 hours ...... I am jealous of your hability for no cravings, no hunger. Impressive. (I lost 65 pounds going for 80)
🙏🏻
Lustig is a really generous and lovely gentleman too. I was at a conference in London where he was a speaker, and I sat right behind him (in the second row) and when I asked him a question he turned and spent 15 mins describing the biochem to me, in ways that the presentation left out, so he was more than willing to help me, a lowly clinician (independent at that) to up my game by simply teaching me! Really a great man (and wore a very nice suit too).
Wow that’s really great. Wonderful to hear, and a great experience for you.
“Wore A very nice suit too”... ok I see what was going on 😂
He should be regarded by Public Health Policy makers.Imagine the effective changs he could make .Imagine the improvements to the obesity and diabetes epidemics .He could save countless people from a life of chronic illness.
And he is,like you, not trying to sell us anything.... Bless all of you.
I can listen to Dr. Lustig all day. He’s on another level, even among the experts in this field.
I am 69 years old, 6'4" 192 cm, and 6 months ago I weighed around 210 lbs, 95 kg. That doesn't sound so bad but I was a sugar addict that thought my body could handle loads of sugars, boy was I wrong. Luckily I found Keto before I had type 2 or worse. I am now down to 170 lbs and boy do I feel better, in every aspect. I definitely had metabolic syndrome, let's not kid ourselves most people do. Not anymore though thanks to people like Dr. Lustig.
Almost identical story, 193 cm, age 51, weight last xmas 107, down to 87, with keto, intermittent fasting, metformin, also taking NMN etc.
This answered questions I didn’t even know I had.
I am so grateful for experts like Dr. lusting who are in the forefront for years advocating & teaching the dangers & consequences of high carbohydrate diets & ultra processed foods. Due to all these forms podcasts & the exposures to the public at large the awareness have grown. I only wish the government listened & involved especially on the lives of the very younger generation in elementary & high school to pass a law in banning ultra processed foods on vending machines for the minimum ✌️
This presentation is of such high quality i'm watching it a second time. Thanks team.
Same here.
You must be watching a different presentation to me then lol.
John Smith: Robert Lustig, MD has many other presentations on RUclips if you are interested. Just type his name in the search box.
@@pegkilday4100 No. He probably just pays attention better than you do.
Snap!
Excellent presentation. Accessible and yet detailed. I wish people doing this work were recognized by society as the hero’s they are for truly driving progress in human knowledge and quality of life.
Lectures such as this one are far better than auditing a medical school class!
Best presentation on metabolic syndrome to date. Amazing!
Great video. I'm very glad I quit sugar and went on low carb thanks to the keto community. I got diagnosed with fatty liver 5 years ago, and none of my doctors could explain the cause.
Me too man , i was fatty liver stage 2 , so quit sugar and went low carb and intermittent fasting 23 : 1
Have you both reversed fatty liver?
Yes, inquiring minds want to know! Also, how did you find out you had fatty liver?
Maybe the severity of stress is also a factor. I was under severe stress for several years, and every time I felt particularly traumatized, I couldn't eat and lost weight. HOWEVER, one incident happened AFTER a normal dinner, and I still lost weight. Yes, I did consult physicians about it, but the only answer I got was a version of starve yourself more, so you can lose more weight. None of them could give a damn about what caused the weight loss. I could have had cancer, and they would have been happy to let me die, so long as I was a thin corpse.
Wow, here's one that needs a second listen (& that only happens to me ~ once a year). Thanks for the excellent info.
Oh yeah! Thanks for sharing. Going to watch this right away. Dr Lustig one of my favourites!
Comprehensive and brilliant. Thank you!
47:35 Three forms of metabolic syndrome
Making a big difference. Thank you and collaborators.
I shudder when I think of all the sugar-coated CEREAL I ate growing up! (Along with the orange juice). This was a great presentation...thank you.
Me too! And I used to add sugar to sugar-coated cereal 🤦♀️
I have no doubt as to why I ended up sick. I'm just glad I found this life-changing information before its too late
I have cut out all processed foods, all seed oils, all added sugar except for 9 grams a day in my coffee, and almost all carbs except for 300ml of whole milk in that coffee. My weight is coming down, slowly, but my body shape is changing strangely compared to other times I have lost weight...
I've lost all the fat under my chin, within a month. I somehow feel softer in areas that are not muscle, and I have small depressions around the muscles I haven't had for 20+ years. Perhaps I have less inflammation than I had when on a bad diet which included a lot of seed oil and sugar. Who knows?
If I have anything with carbs in it, or sugar in it, it makes me hungry! It's really weird. Replacing all the carbs with good fats like butter and beef fat, and eating properly cooked fatty cuts of meat, reduces my appetite amazingly well. I really don't crave sugar or carbs much at all - unless I have some!
They are addictive, and instantly tell your body to consume more.
No wonder we're all sick and tired!
There have been a number of studies in recent times that showed that NAFLD was a big indicator for severity of symptoms related to Covid -19 . An Oxford study compared obese patients who were infected with C19 . Those with NAFLD suffered far greater symptoms and were more likely to be hospitalised compared to the obese without NAFLD .
Now that the doc mentions it I remember as a kid hearing something about government tax breaks/subsidies for the sugar industry. Wow we have been fooled....
Sugar & grains = alcohol, mafias, corruption
This is awesome! A great engaging lecturer & incredible life changing information from the man who is doing the research! Wow.
Wonderful talk. A calorie is not a calorie is not a calori!!!
WOOOOOOW...... tried to follow very closely....very impressive.... Thank you.
Thanks for this.
Such a good and knowledgable presentation pitched at an understandable level. Full marks to Prof Smith
I appreciate this man. Thanks.
I have been trying to “proselytize” my friends and family, but sadly they don’t want to even listen. Really disappointing that even my friends in the medical field just seem interested in going with the status quo. Does anyone have any tips for teaching this to others in a way that they won’t just brush it off? We are all still pretty young and I don’t think they will really care about this stuff until they are older and starting to feel the effects of metabolic syndrome.
Be the example .
Lisa Gurlin , people laugh at me because I cut my fruit intake which includes 4 bananas, 4 dates daily to one. My fasting BG came down with this.
I have failed miserably. As Thales said here "Be the example" !
people hate being lectured. Do your thing, be healthy, and someone will ask (when they are ready) how you do it.
people can only hear what they want to hear
Wauw. This makes al lot clear. Thanks!
Interesting Thanks for update
I almost dropped out but knowing what great researcher Dr. Lustig is I hung in there. Very glad I watched to the end. The information was superbly presented. He definitely proved that fructose is the biggest cause of metabolic syndrome and sugar is public enemy #1. Love your liver because it keeps you healthy!
I love your lectures.
a small recommendation: improvement in audio quality
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
great day to you with deepest gratitude for sharing your wisdoms through intellectual conversations. your new family member from Palau.
Yes, please, wearing a clip-on microphone would help.
Robert is totally correct in sugars bad effects
Brilliant. Thank you so much for sharing this very important information with us all. Take care & stay safe everybody. ❤🙂🐶
This needs to get out...wide dissemination of truth. I love this channel, everyone's invaluable info. Want to help with helping others.
I myself have had these issues. Know that a lot of drastic changes are helping. Limited in my capacity right now due to surgery a little over a week ago. I share your channel name, presenter names, and info with my friends/family and a lot of people that I meet and get to know. Add so many of your vids to my playlists and plan to make short vids on my other channel, to pair some key points regarding real food and low carb into bites of info and link to your channel in my descriptions.
I'm an RN, on medical leave the better part of this year. Please let me know if I can be of any other assistance pro bono in the future....for the people.
God bless,
Jen
This man is a genius.
So fascinating. I have long believed that sugar is poison. One thing Dr. Lustig doesn't touch on here, however, is its addictive properties. Understanding that you should limit sweets is a far cry from actually doing so. Personally, I find that eliminating sugar is easier. I still eat apples though, and hope they aren't killing me.
Luann Rouff, Lustig's books: Fat Chance and The Hacking of the American Mind covers the addiction issues 👍🏼
Apples least nutrient dense fruit. Look at Marty Kendall nutrient optimizer.
He isn’t against whole fruits that you chew with your teeth
based on his book (which I've read twice), even higher sugar fruits like bananas that have lots of fiber (bananas do) are fine for 80% of people. In the case of a banana, eat them with a little green at the ends still to lower the sugar hit, he said. Even better, eat your apple with a slice of cheese, and the fat in the cheese will slow the response to the fruit. For only 20% of people, in his opinion, much lowered carbs are needed forever, but he thinks once most of us get rid of the hyperinsulinemia, most can switch to whole foods eating, including a whole fruit per day, eaten whole and not as smoothie (which destroys the fiber), and the majority will not see the metabolic syndrome come back. (for dieters, that = "the fat.") He's fine with oatmeal too, or wild rice, and winter squash and sweet potatoes.
I hope I fairly characterized what he said.
@@pkwilde189 perlmutter also talks about the reward center in the brain.
Summary: SQ (Subcutaneous) Fat, Visceral Fat ( from stress), and Liver Fat are the three faces of metabolic syndrome. Fat/thin-sick people BOTH have metabolic syndrome. Fat/thin-healthy people don't. #1 Cause is liver fat from excess fructose. #2 Cause is stress #3 Only 10% from SQ BTW Another theory also identifies Omega 6 processed oils as an additional cause of insulin resistance, dementia, cancer, and macular degeneration. (Dr. Chris Knobbe)
I always thought of "metabolic syndrome" as just another name for insulin resistance.
It is a constellation of modern diseases.
Brilliant guy
what's weird is that the chart at 32:12? As you can see, sugar starts to go down in 1999 in the US. Sugar consumption continues to go slightly down in the US every year, through 2018, but obesity goes up. I'm not disagreeing with the primary claims (I think Lustig and Taubes are right), but it's curious that this newer data does make one think sugar isn't the only issue driving widespread obesity.
The other factors could be a lot of things. A stab at one: As income inequality has been worsening that whole time, maybe it's just increased cortisol from chronic worry about being on the verge of homelessness (or chronic stress from having relatives move in with you, or whatevs.) But the question isn't yet fully answered.
Sugar may not be the only food that causes obesity but it is a main factor in causes sickness. Like he said obesity doesn’t always mean someone is metabolically unhealthy
Corn syrup, l don't know, we don't have it in UK x
If I have APOE4 and cholesterol hyperabsorption, am I better off eating a low carbohydrate diet that is also low in saturated fat and cholesterol as well?
Dr. Lustig, I agree with your professional evaluation of the SAD diet and the deception and adulteration of "pop" foods. I disagree, however, with your tendency to force change from the top down
I noticed FFAs trigger insulin by your diagram at 36:14. FFAs could be high after release from adipose tissue, so in obesity does absorption of glucose other than after aerobic exercise then cause problems? Does meal frequency alter that effect? What factors affect FFA concentration? lipoprotein load?
36:14 Does Uric acid production consume adenosine? if yes, how is adenosine balance maintained across the various cellular domains, and does adenosine depletion in any of those domains, due to uric acid production, reduce the organism's capacity to expend energy (metabolic dysfunction and disease) ?
Dr Lustig I would love to hear your thoughts on gout with the main culprit being fructose and why/ pathways etc.
his thoughts likely same as mine, stop eating fructose!
I've discovered that since ditching most carbs, my gout has pretty much dissapoeared, & now I eat red meat most days!

I know someone whose only trigger for gout flareups is shellfish. Alcohol and sugar never trigger it, but the moment we do a shrimp or crab boil, he'll be debilitated for a couple days. He chooses to eat the shellfish anyway.
@@jimbeaver27 Likewise , but I think fructose is a major factor in cancer development too.
🎓🔥☄🏋♂️wow!! Brilliant!!
I don't agree with everything robert says but I'm sure happy people like him exsist
Exactly! The Omad Outlaw 🤠
I save so much money eating non processed food . Cooking at home. I eat mostly cruciferous veggies and whole meat 🍖now it's summer so salads are staple. I also walk run and bike 4 to 5 times a week. I look and feel like in high school . I'm 40 this year. Stay healthy .
Thank you, doc. What about subcutaneous fat and chronical inflammation?
See Denver Low carb under 2020. Q&A Session II. Around time 35:00. Dr Lustig on that..when the Fat-vacuol within the adipocyte overstretches, breaks up and the FA spills into the cytoplasm leading to the necrose of the adipocyte... triggering the inflammatory response with cytokines.
No threshold : it happens at different FA loads depending on the subject phenotype

I am interested in knowing his thoughts who eat a "whole foods" based diet which includes fruits (ie no processed foods). Also, if fructose is excluded on such a diet but starches are still there, what will be the consequences then
Triglycerides fall if the fructose and carbohydrates are removed from the diet. Additionally, this includes PUFAS TOO!
He says that fruits as the come “from the ground” are fine for most people. Eating the entire fruit (not juiced or blitzed in a vita mix which destroys the fiber matrix) allows most of the sugars to be escorted through your small instestine because of the fiber matrix.
he's good with that. He's fine with oatmeal too, for most people.
I did an experiment video on how differrent fruits affect my blood sugar level in real time, using a continuous glucose monitor.
...and what were the results??
When was this talk given?
Great Dr cares ot
So my 2 relatives are diabetic. The one had no idea what the word carb meant. They don’t think sugar is bad for them. And they eat whatever and just take their shots. Truth is they don’t want to quit eating all the foods they like.
Well, once the eyesight starts to go or their feet have to be amputated, they may decide the food they liked may not have been worth it.
6:30 U.S. pop was 240,000,000 in 1986. what year was talk given ? 9:50 cites a paper from the year 2009...11:30 cites data to 2014. 22:30, it's 2017.
Like to hear how reversible are the various metabolic syndromes.
Skip all the grains, potatoes and fruits.
No mention of how to treat insulin resistance?
My guess would be low carb
As fructose comes from fruit should we be eating any fruits?
No.
Very interesting! I didnt know i was browning this whole time, wierd.
Maybe we could figure out how to tell the liver is not well before 90% bad.
I believe there is certain bloodwork that could indicate someone has fatty liver, high bilirubin, triglycerides and a few more I can’t recall. I recently had a ultrasound that showed I have fatty liver.
@@williammillsap7446 I dunno. Ultrasound may be the only way to tell. From what I've been told, there is no test for fatty liver disease just as there's no test for liver cancer, which took my husband a couple of years ago.
I just realized the British spelling for "specialises" is used in the description.
It's also the Australian spelling. You know? "Low Carb DOWN UNDER"?
Please address the new Dietary Guidelines for Americans that was just released . Still say calories!, Low fat and recommend vegetable oil as dense.
Thank you Dr. Lustig!
Is sugare still an issue in a calorie deficit?
CICO hypothesis has been long debunked. Eat to satiety and lose weight by finding your own carbohydrates threshold. I’ve lost and maintained this lose for over five years which 19kg(40lbs ) on essentially an isocaloric diet and no change in exercise either .
So what causes metabolic syndrome
I wish someone could explain this to durian rider hahaha. He pours 2 cups of sugar on his cereal to fill his glycogen stores 🤣
Veganism is a religion. He wouldn't listen. It sounds like he has hypoglycemia from all the sugar and fruit he eats.
The medical industrial complex's failure to properly research and diagnose and treat diet and microbiome and sleep and vital nutritional deficiency issues (including those related to Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2 and Magnesium deficiencies as well as iatrogenic prescription medication usage) is a major reason why psychiatric iatrogenesis is a primary contributor to the third leading cause of death in the U.S. (which is iatrogenesis in general). If the U.S. spent just a fraction of the over $40 billion each year it spends just on iatrogenic psychiatric drugs alone, for properly researching the issues discussed in this and related RUclips presentations we would probably, Lord willing, achieve an absolute revolution in medical efficacy improvement and iatrogenesis reduction.

I'm almost a half hour in, and no new info? I feel like I've seen this Lustig presentation a hundred times, years ago. Oh well, thanks anyway!
Truth doesn't change.
Listening carefully there is always some things we discover or better assimilate.. i would have more details on the Yula women with their IGF receptor..
There is slight more new info each time
Ok folks the bottom line is you have to stop snacking, grazing, the constant urge to stick something in your piehole. Be strong, get through a week on Keto and you will find it much easier to stop snacking. Some form of Keto snacks can help but I limit these to once a week. Even though they don't really spike insulin, they do have some extra calories I don't need, some extra fat I need to burn off meaning less of my body fat gets burned off. Be strong, Keto is not like fasting, you can eat plenty and be satisfied. Just do not snack, the period of eating nothing between meals are the most important thing.
Btw.Lustig means funny on german.
I seemed to have cured my edema in my legs and my Type 2 by taking high dose vitamin B1 for awhile. No more edema and no need to take naps after eating breads pastas banana and cake. Or ramen. Vit B1 HCL 300 mg 3x or 5x a day for 1.5weeks. Then down to 300 to 500 mg B1 hcl in divided doses of 100 mg per day. I am working on not eating so much carbs too. Ate cake and bread today. And a lot of butter. I get the butter on Kato.
Seemed? You either have or have not cured. Taking some vitamins and still eating crap, is not is sis. Not in the long run
I love benfotiamine, but are you eating enough protein? You should have a big protein breakfast to stave off those carb cravings. Go for a little walk before breakfast. Blessings!
Humble Halfbreed thanks for the info.
Lustig's voice sure sounds different here than I'm used to hearing it. It sounds less resonant and much younger. A property of the room and loss of weight?
He sounds condescending to me.
@@Iliek he's not condescending. It is your perception. Perhaps try to be less defensive and beat any inferiority complex you might have.
When you say Diabetes do you mean Type 1 Diabetes or Type 2 Diabetes? Is Type 1 Diabetes caused by obesity and if so is it reversible by diet?
Type one is an autoimmune result of a destroyed pancreas.
Wish the sound was better... Can't understand a lot, will hafta listen again. But I KNOW this info is VITAL!!
We all should keep to the 6/9 tsp/day of sugar(s) and HFCS. 6 for chicks, 9 for dudes. The FDA's RDA is 12, down from 20 in 2019. The USDA just approved higher import quotas for sugar for 2022 so FOOD INC and beverage industry will increase addiction...unless we just say no.
low carbs, you mean no added sugars,; whole plants, legumes and fruits are ok
Fruits contain fructose, idiot. Fruit are are not OK.
Always follow the money
So what is the best dessert for people who want a little sweet?
Fruit
Other people who are not from Loja are also short and fat. Maybe at least some of them also have a genetic mutation, although more rare than on the island. It might be worth looking into.
A reference for those who do no know it yet - as a complement to this very informativ video: Peter Attia MD podcast "drive" interview with Rick Johnson a nephrolog amd scientist on new findings like the evolution perspective on fructose-metabolism, the existence of ENDOGENE fructose triggered by uric acid and or hypernatriumia (need of endogene water through the denovolipogenesis pathway (wales)).. fascinating but very technical
For ex. How Umami triggers endogene fructose.. how a Keto-diet could lead to NAFLD...
pls just call it adrenalin like the rest of the planet.

37:00 is steak and coffee aren’t recommended?
No, both are brown due to the Malliard reaction... glycated proteins
Have steak - just don't burn it! Eat red meat rare to raw. 😊 Look up Dr Paul Saladino
Maillard reactions also occur in dried fruit, fried onions, baked goods, French fries and other crisps, of malted barley as found in malt whiskey and beer, black garlic, chocolate, toasted marshmallows, and roasted peanuts.
Proteins in our body glycated with excess of glucose in the bloodstream is what causes all that troubles, not dietary proteins. We do not absorb proteins, by the way. We absorb amino acids. Glycated proteins form the diet are not how we get wrinkles and cataracts. Doctor Lustig made a blunder here.
Brown things turn brown when they go through meillard reaction.
Your stomach acid destroys anything on the food. Sugar, however, helps increase the rate at which you naturally brown. Not because of its color but because it affects our chemistry.
It was meant to help you understand what the meillard reaction is but he didn’t go into much detail about how it happens in your body - just that it does.
Coffee consumption has a noted dose related Protection against Liver disease. i.e. the more coffee that was consumed the lower the risk from liver disease.
Let's get real..."they" don't care about you and could care less if their products kill you. Has any processed
food company representative or soft drink company representative ever come to anyone's funeral?
Sorry but cannot follow - poor sound in this vid. :-(
I'm very surprised consumption of vegetable oils did not show any correlation. Although in the past decades vegetable oils and sugar are used as a combo by the food industry. Soon we'll have Coke with canola oil!
I think vegetable oils were represented by trans fat in this clip
✌️🤛😎
Lustig would still be in a tenured, funding-conflicted slumber if it wasn't for the Gary Taubes' kick in the ass in 2007. GT was not a tenured endocrinologist, he was a hand-to-mouth freelance journalist.
Taubes is a hero, for sure-and a good writer.
Go on....
😃😷
Sugar is bad. Sugar comes from plants.
I’m looking at a plant based diet... so many people are reversing illness from sticking to a plant based Vegan plan..Animal products seem to be the problem...
The problem is mixing fats and sugars at the same time. It activates the Randall Cycle. Look into it.
Neuroendocrinologist? Wtf is that? haha. What's the initial specialty that is needed to get a fellowship for that?
Poprawa
Plant based diet apologist Dr. Lustig is one of the last people I'd expect on this channel. Interesting cross-over.
Plant-based diet in what respect? I've heard him talk about how he likes to cook fillet mignon (so do I if it's grass-fed). He likes grass-fed meats, too. Of course, he also eats veggies and some fruits. So please explain.
Lustig is in no way a plant based apologist
When you guys keep on posting old video's i will unsubscribe from this channel.
This is Dr Lustigs standard speech on sugar but there is an expansion toward the end with newer information and the announcement of his new book. Personally I’m glad for the refresh of such an important topic.
Though I enjoyed the lecture I cannot fully trust the dietary opinions of any man who defends dessert. Having been through medical school he most likely doesn't know about the healing benefits of eating raw meat and organs and if you eat enough fat and micronutrients you will not desire sweets at all and will be much healthier. He presents himself with the arrogance and condescension common of doctors and this is a major crux of the profession and why their opinions should not be taken at face value but rather examined more deeply if they are listened to at all. For a man to be addicted to dessert and act like an expert on low carb diets is dishonest, though he deserves some minor respect for admitting his addiction.
Wah? Lustig is addicted to dessert?
Does anyone like dining with you?
When does he defend dessert???
The point is education. Authoritarian views are universally unwanted. A democratic view is presented. Here we are presented with the evidence for the "Facts " and ultimately the choice is there. He has further expounded elsewhere on why "choices" are in fact not a black/white matter also. This research however points toward fact: cause and effect. Seriously, is it not a stretch to put forth the idea that the case Lustig argued is diminished or even that it SUPPORTS an alleged "addiction to dessert"? In any case "dessert" is an assumption about what it contains/ how much is eaten and how frequently it is consumed. It is precisely a case against quantity that triggers the metabolic adaptions for Fatty Liver! Quite the contrary, it seems that despite being an (alleged) dessert lover, this doesn't appear to discount that fatty liver is the driver for metabolic diseases.
poor audio and too many undefined buzzwords, too little time spend explaining some graphs. I give up 13 minutes into this.
It is a complex & complicated set of issues. It will usually (IQ=100) take many reviews of various explanations to grasp the dozens of metabolic paths that affect the ways that sugar affects our metabolism to produce a metabolic syndrome. I still find something new every time I review that metabolic flow poster.
However, these 3 phrases seem a wonderful distillation of how to put DM into perspective from least to worst.
