27 years ago NOT ONCE did the VA EVER tell me about my heavy weight or cause of it. NOT once did they ever tell me why my depression was so severe "fructose or glucose causes this to raise depression and anxiety when its high, and anger when its really low" It was responsible for me for loosing my marriage.
@@toni4729 yes, I'm currently weaning my children off it all and they are acting like addicts would. They get angry, have tantrums and sneak around looking for sweets that l might have forgotten. This is very serious.
I started a diet - no fructose. The week before i started, i was feeling light-headed and foggy. Near the end of that week, i was feeling terrible, like i was fighting some terrible affliction. 2 days before i started my diet, i binged on cinnamon rolls. 10 minutes later, i began sweating profusely and had a terrible headache. I only weighed 230lbs, so i thought 'no way this could be something like diabetes, right??' That night, i couldn't sleep, yet i was so tired. Every breath was hard, and just before falling asleep it was like i was suffocating, and i'd shoot back awake. The next day, i was anxious, lightheaded, worried.. i looked up diabetes videos and stumbled upon Lustig's lectures. This all happened 2 weeks ago. The next day, i stopped eating anything that contained fructose. That day was the best i have felt in 5 years. And every subsequent day since has been better. All i did was cut out fructose, and it was like my body yelled at me in joy. It felt like i was recovering from something traumatic. And today i feel fucking incredible. In the 2 weeks since then, i've lost 10lbs, sleep better, poop better, feel better, everything just seems better. The best part, is that because of these lectures, this isn't even a diet to me. I'm avoiding poison. That's how it seems to me. And it's the easiest life changing decision i've made for myself. Thank you for this lecture! UPDATE: 9 months later. I've lost 40lbs. I've suffered with HS, an inflammatory condition, for years. This diet has put my condition into full remission.
@@stevenharrison1213 i still eat fruits. I should clarify: no -added- fructose. Also i eat plenty of veggies nuts and seeds. When i do eat fruit it's primarily bananas. Also since this post ive lost 30 pounds and my HS is in full remission.
Dr Lustig’s lecture on Sugar changed my life five years ago! I am now 52 lbs lighter with a 17% body fat, no meds, high blood pressure gone! Thank you, Dr Lustig, you saved my life!
NOBODY BLAME food industries NOBODY, ITS NOT FOOD ITS DRUGS THAT THEY ARE SELLING US, its all sugar SUGAR SUGAR AND IITS addictive,, they killing HUMANITY WITH the sugar ,, and they call its food stop puting sugar drugs in our food. when i comment like that peoples reply me like im FAT and im not FAT its just rediculus nobody say nothing what food industries is doing with our HEALTH
this video started a snowball effect for me.. submerging myself in videos about sugar and food and health... it changed my life... was at 428 lbs.. down to 301lbs and still going... the problem never was lazyness or over eating... it was all this fake food that they feed us.
Mike, there is a program in Britain that is based on this and the results have been phenomenal. Classic dieting programs even endorsed by health care professionals have been based on bad science (that Dr. Lustig marks out in this presentation.) Most large people overproduce more insulin too which stops hunger hormones and breaks down carbs to fat. Simple carbs are death to people like you and me
It's almost 2 years ago I made a major lifestyle change. I started Intermittent Fasting and gave up sugar and processed food. It took some effort because the system is designed to put us on the wrong path, but it's possible if you stick to it. I used to be obese, pre-diabetic, had high blood pressure, my joints hurt, and I was tired all the time. Today I'm 2 years older, but I feel 20 years younger, all those problems are long gone and I'm normal weight. Today I see sugar and processed foods as poison.
Im doing the same. Lost 40 lbs with another 30 to go. Side-note: went on a job out of town for a month, fell off the wagon and ate some sugary/processed foods and put on 10 lbs in one month. Goes to show: Sugar/processed= weight gain. Back on the wagon.
Don't listen to any Dr that say a soda a few times a month is OK, it's not ok ,not once a month not once a year not ever ,NO SOFT DRINKS that incles fruit juice, snaplle ice tea Arizona or any ice tea ,sport drinks ,gator aide power aid ,or any energy drinks, res bull monster any of it inrecomend drinking 3 things # Water # 2 water # water
I followed this advice 20 years ago next month; went from size 16-18 to size 8. I still wear the clothes I bought back in 2002. If I cheat, I put on a couple pounds; now I know what to do to repair that. Real food IS better than processed food. Twenty years ago, low-carb was considered dangerous and unscientific. I did it anyway and wouldn't look back. My physician has no complaints about my lipid profile, my blood pressure is normal, and I walk 2+ miles daily (because I like it). When I tried low-carb back then, I actually found that I did less exercise - kept that to walking my dog, my favorite exercise, and did much better. I had been doing elliptical at a gym to no avail. Go figure!
@@Kyarrix So if you see most of the recent comments on here are mentioning hamza ahmed because he made a post about weight loss and mentioned this video. He is a self improvement channel.
I watched this video 7 years ago, cut out fructose from my diet….since, I no longer have eczema, headaches, IBS and mood swings. I have more energy, rarely get sick. Literally changed my life
That's so cool! I'm seeing all these inspirational comments about people cutting out fructose and becoming so much healthier... but I can't imagine not eating fruit as well :( guess I'm just making excuses tho.
Thank you for what you said about obesity. I am 66 and just went to the doctor for a checkup for the first time in decades. I spend 6 hours a week at the gym and eat almost no sugar or refined carbs but lots of fiber and greens. All my test numbers were beautiful.The doctor told me I was borderline clinically obese, according to the BMI score, but said I looked fine and there was nothing to worry about. The thing is, she asked NOTHING about my diet and was not particularly interested when I tried to talk about it, nor in how someone can be clinically obese (and in their seventh decade of life) and yet healthy. (In my 20s I was a sugar addict and about 100 lbs overweight, but I turned that around by giving up sugar And I feel much better now than I did in my 20s as a sugar addict.) It seems that the medical profession is all about taking tests and then trying to match up the test numbers with prescriptions, not about telling you how to actually be healthy. I think that most people probably depend on their doctors to tell them what to do, and figure if they doctor doesn't tell them about something, it can't be important. It's great that there are resources like this for people to educate themselves, but I think that the trend will not change until doctors start learning about this.
Tree Walker dr will never learn about it. 1. the money behind all the great Institutions of learning does not Come from Doctors but from businessman. 2. it’s illegal for doctors to in anyway suggest that anything other than medication or surgery will correct any health issues or concerns outside of the one so call condition Called obesity
Once your a sugar addict, you will always be, even when you cut out sugar. It's like being a Alcoholic, If you don't drink, you can live a active life, take 1 drink and It's all gone.🎆
No Doctor was pissed, cos saw a walking meal ticket, but nothing off the Big Pharma top-shelf...(where's my commission?) ...to prescribe, don't bother going.
true but, you are missing an important point. BMI is not suitable for all body types first of all, doctor saw that you don't fit in that category and you look fine, second- clearly very important- your test results were perfect so no reason to look into anything!! maybe the doctor was in a hurry seeing other patients or had a crappy day to listen to you, you never know!!
If you've stumbled across this video you should know that this research is currently changing the way health care professionals are tackling obesity in Europe. This is the future. Watch the whole damn thing, even the science bit.
@@goodtreeministries3751 Judging by the latest research, that's not the case. All sugar and processed carbs (bread, rice, grains, baked goods, cereals, pasta, even potatoes) cause havoc in our bodies, skinny or fat. It's what they do to the bodies internal systems. Japanese people don't eat even quarter the carbs and sugar that Westerners do, and they don't pig out. Recommend you start watching the loads of heart surgeons, doctors, bio chemists/engineers and other experts talking about this issue and the chronic disease these foods cause. Very enlightening. Find the talks on You Tube -- Keto diets.
There are exactly the same testimonials, similar videos, similar quoting of science by the "high carb low fat" camp. As someone who follows neither, I get amused a lot by reading and watching both sides. Both sides have people who have changed their lives, cured diseases like diabetes, autoimmune syndrome etc and provide robust scientific research to back their claims. I on the other hand don't believe that any diet is the holy grail. I believe that we have to experiment and discover for ourselves what works best for us in the environment we live in. All data and science regarding nutrition is statistical and ok on a population level but as an individual, you don't know what part of the statistic your body falls into. So just experiment and discover what works best for you and what you can follow. But don't consider any diet to be the universal solution as everyone is differnet and respind differently yo different foods.
What research and "loads" of experts? The people selling it? lol please Keto is just another in a long list of fad diets with almost no evidence to support that it's any better than all the other silly fad diets that come and go since it has no magical properties to make the weight loss mechanism any better or worse. And of course, it does not prevent or cure cancer.
I used to weigh 313 lbs (142kg), but I had normal blood results when I went to the doctor. It drove my nurse wife, crazy. In 2018 I lost 110lbs (50kg), and I didn't do one exercise. I lost it all by changing my diet.
@@archimedesmaid3602 You obviously haven't watched the video to the end. Sugar is the culprit here. Exercise =/= weight loss, cutting out sugar = weight loss.
@@poppetjegroothoofd Nothing new here. You seem to be reading from my playbook. Dont really know what your "=/=" might mean, but keeping yourself in proper exercise is just as important as keeping away from sugars More than anything else, it is idleness which is causing 70% of people to be overweight in the US today, and with it our HUGE pandemic of metabolic syndrome/type 2 diabetes. Our recent "pandemic" is a baby compared to this one, and actually most of the people it attacked had compromised themselves by a lifestyle of self abuse, the greatest one being lack of exercise. One could be at proper weight and still eat piles of simple carbs. Yet one is not going to be healthy by just cutting out "sugar" Vigorous exercise forgives many dietary sins
Absolutely mindblowing. I just recently graduated college with a B.S. in Exercise and Sports Science and while we learned about leptin resistance and some of the things you described here, obesity was always described to us as more of a behavioral/calories in vs out issue rather than a biochemical one. I will certainly keep this video in mind as I work with my clients and help them on their fitness/weight loss journey. Thank goodness there are people like you looking at this epidemic from ALL sides.
@@Test7017 if you think it's a scam then that's your loss. You need to study the right subjects and have some impact, that's a problem of the student not the college.
This is the second of his videos that I watch. As an academician myself I must say that he is an outstanding and refreshing voice of true concern and scholarship in a dry and barren wilderness. We need more individuals like him!
I watched his video "Sugar the Bitter Truth" 3 months ago and it changed my life. I am athletic and I am a runner. My weight stayed around 190-195 lbs for years and wearing size 36 jeans. I cut out almost all high fructose corn sugar and refine sugar and I lost 10 lbs in the first 1.5 months and another 5 lbs since then. My jean size went from 36 to size 32. I haven't worn size 32 for 30 years. I am a 52 year old health care provider and I told a patient to watch this video 3 months ago and since then he has lost 25 lbs. Amazing. I just ordered his book from Amazon.
Wow amazing! I’m still researching how to work with the gels I use during my longer runs. I bought fructose free gels. Have you any experience or tips? Hope you doing well 🙏🏽
@@NicE-jq3wv Ye. Found his 2009 video from a recommendation of someone, then this. Glad I see them. Change my perception a bit more against sugar even if I know this for a while, I didn't took it that serious.
I quit using sugar after seeing "Sugar: the bitter truth" and my weight started to remain stable (100kg). Also I've started an exercise program and gained some muscle. I'll never use a sugar cube for anything ever. Thanks to Dr Lustig and I hope he can affect change in the US.
@@markaguilera493 Yes, but I still drink beer and that way I can't say if I'm especially healthy. But my weight is steadily at 97kg and my height is 185cm.
Eating very filling foods in moderation, low fat, will make you drop weight like you never thought possible. If anything the issue is that you tend to lose too much weight so have to eat dried fruit or less filling foods (rice or pasta for example).
Replace white table sugar with date sugar or date syrup. Or dates lol. Dates have the "antidote". Replace table salt with KALA NAMAK (black salt, aka Himalayan salt aka rock salt).
"Them saying 'we need more proof' is them removing the goal posts"... Brother you nailed it. Food industry is so wicked, all governments of the world are dead silent on it.
The food industry does not force you to eat something. They make and sell the stuff you vote for by buying it. You are totally responsible for what you shove down your pie hole It is not the proper function of govt to babysit its citizens -- well, that is, unless you are a leftist in America today
@@pharmies Food obviously cannot "care about your health'. (-; YOU need to care about your health. It is not someone elses responsibility to care about your health.
Wow! I remember how hungry I was during pregnancy...I would literally eat two breakfasts, two lunches, two dinners. I could not stop eating. If that's how overweight and obese people feel all the time, we seriously can't blame them.
no I was overweight and it was because I was eating a bunch of eggs and chicken with oil and junk food. As soon as I stopped eating that kind of food I lost weight. As best (or worst) they have conditioned themselves into thinking every meal has to be pure pleasure.
pk eggle you’re correct. That depo shot really messed with my wife after our second child was born. It messed with her eating habits, weight management, sex drive, and mental awareness. A lot of people would say “well that’s just normal hormonal changes after a baby” and normally I would agree but I argue that the depo shot took her well beyond the “normal hormone” change. We’ve had four children and she only received the shot with one of the deliveries and that was the one that was abnormal from the others. The other three she refused to take the shot and she had no issues. It took her many years to get over much of the effects but some still linger. The “powers that be” are feeding us junk from every aspect of our lives and it’s not conducive to a healthy existence and can be argued is killing us.
@@jacobnunya808 nothing wrong with eggs or chicken! its what you cook it in or serve with it! cook it in fat of an animal (it doesnt oxidize as easily as liquid oils). Many people believe seed and nut oils are top priority to get rid of, even before sugar! But eating too much of anything will cause gain, its just easier when you eat fat and sugar together as your body has to deal with the sugar first as its toxic.
@@dana102083 Eating too much of anything, in theory, can cause weight gain but it does not turn out like in the real world. I can easily a thousand calories of bacon on a single sitting, and then again in a few hours. The only natural plant food I can do that with is probably dates which I don't even buy. Eating only super lean meat and eggs might keep me sufficiently full but I do not think they are as healthy as beans and pasta.
People with a rapid metabolism burn a lot of calories both in and out of the gym, and they may need to eat a lot to stay in shape; the poor lambs. People with a slow-coach metabolism, on the other hand, burn less calories and hence gain weight if they consume too many. What can be done to break the cycle? Make the weight room your best buddy, since gym gains might help you get back on track. Increasing your muscle mass is the most efficient strategy to speed up your metabolism. Muscles require energy to function, and larger muscles burn more calories than smaller muscles. Not only that, but heavy weight training sessions cause the body to burn more calories afterward, a phenomenon known as the ‘afterburn effect.’ So, rather than gaining weight on low-fat dressing, benching 150 pounds in the gym will soon have you torching calories from the luxury of your couch as your muscles painstakingly heal themselves. P.S: See the solution on my ch-an-nel - A newly discovered bizarre tropical fat-dissolving loophole that has NOTHING to do with dieting or exercise... (in fact eating your favorite foods is recommended!).
I quit sugar 5 years ago and the results have totally transformed my mental and physical health. My doctor was even converted after seeing my results. The weight loss was just one of the benefits. I’m 53 and feel like I am in my 20s. It was hard for the first few weeks and now I don’t even consider eating anything loaded with carbs. Even my emergency stash is all protein and fat.
@@jenmdawg are you doing keto? Because this video isn’t talking about getting rid of glucose (carbs), but getting rid of fructose specifically. Vegetables are carbs (glucose) and are excellent for your health and well being
@@NOKNOWLEDGE_NOLIFE I eat a lot of vegetables and some fruit but no pasta, breads, sugar or anything high in any kind of carbs. What’s amazing to me 6 years later is how sustainable it is! I have not had cravings since the first month and can pass up all my favorites (bagels, ice cream, pizza) on an empty stomach.
I was normal weight and had hypertension, sleep apnea, fatty liver, lifelong allergies, got sick a lot, frequent gas, big mood swings, etc. I had a hemorrhagic stroke that put me in intensive care for a week and was told to basically get on medication for life. instead, I educated myself through Lustig, Fung, Noakes, Berg, Nadir Ali, Low Carb Down Under, etc. and now I eat very little sugar or carbs, no vegetable oil, and intermittent fast daily (and am on day 2 or a 5 day fast). I suffer none of the above anymore and have not been sick in any way in three years now. The food industry is happy to kill us slowly.
Big food makes money making you sick Big pharma makes money keeping you sick. If the masses knew this information, the two conglomerates would lobby their savings into keeping the status quo. Congrats on your better health. Keep at it. The work is never done.
I am a 13-year fruitarian and am 64 years of age and eat almost exclusively carbs and occasionally walnuts and a few veggies. I am enrolled in two medical studies as to why my health is excellent including my bone density scans. I have had the flu once in my entire life and a common cold two times in my adult life. Excluding fruit from one's life is absurd. I have six siblings, all younger than I all of who are on meds for high blood pressure and borderline diabetes. I actually have to ingest at least 3k calories to maintain my weight whereas my siblings have been eating the keto diet on and off for decades since it is not sustainable.
It's true...I cut out all the junk foods and within 6 months my blood pressure went from very high to normal. I had no more headaches, no more joint inflammation and my weight dropped without even trying. I've just come across Prof. Lustig, this man has so much integrity, thank you for all this information.
I first saw Dr. Lustig's videos about five weeks ago. I banished sucrose from my diet and have so far lost about 9 pounds effortlessly with no calorie counting or measuring. I was not a soda drinker or junk food addict, but I was still probably consuming way more sugar than I realized. I found sugar laced in many of the so-called healthy foods I was eating before, such as cereals, snack bars, flavored non-dairy milks, and breads. I still eat whole grain carbs and fruit, along with vegetables, beans, fish, dairy, and eggs. The first thing I noticed was that I was less hungry throughout the day. I also notice an overall increase in energy and improved mental clarity. I was less tired in general and now I actually want to exercise. Before I had to practically kick myself to gym, and exercising only made me hungry.
Could not agree more. Got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 5 weeks ago and the information and literature I’ve seen since is astounding,, I’m down 12 lbs and recent visit to Doc was all good news. Ways to go on plan but my eyes are wide open now. Modern processed food is poison. And politicians and their lobbyist lackeys ( of all persuasion ) are complicit mass murderers.
I quit sugar about 3 years ago. Best thing I ever did lost 25 lbs and feel like a kid again back pain and shoulder pain went away I’m 44 and feel better than I did in my 20’s
I'm crying of joy inside, while I am writing everything down parallel to the talk to understand it deep down. You can not imagine what a life changer that is to me!!! Thank You!
@@aldionsylkaj9654 For progress you need what he says at the end, to eat only high fiber low sugar foods, which are all Whole Foods. So no processed foods, no dairy, no junk food, and really no or very limited meat. Eat vegetables, fruits, beans, lentils nuts and grains.
When I eliminated sugar from my diet my blood work went from terrible to good. My blood pressure dropped and I dont need bp meds anymore. Thank you Dr Lustig.
My wife and I noticed something very interesting about sugar consumption and sleep. Back when we were first dating we didn't take in much soda, later on we started making it a regular thing, after a little while we noticed our ability to stay awake was GREATLY decreased and onset of the desire to sleep came MUCH earlier. We went from normally going to sleep around 12am to barely being able to make it to 8pm. At first we couldn't understand what happened and after some thought we could only find one major factor and that was the amount of sugar we were now consuming. After stopping the sugar, within a week, our sleep pattern went back to normal.
junbug1029 Oh man do I feel amazingly better on a low carb diet. I went on a Psmf diet for a couple weeks, basically eating nothing much chicken breast and mixed veggies and I felt so much better physically and mentally, start eat garbage again and then feel like garbage again.
I started a Ketogenic lifestyle in 2013 and I sleep better, focus better and have a lot more energy. Love my Keto lifestyle and my Exogenous Ketones too!
In Australia, The Heart Institute continues to ignore links between sugar consumption and heart disease. They are carrying out a great disservice to the people.
Dr. Lustig I want you to know , that after your lecture on sugar I totally changed my life and you saved it ! I cut my sugar consumption overall 60-80 % and my life changed. If I did what I did up till today, 12 years later, I would have most certainly have diabetes ! God bless you and thank you for this one too !

Guss Davey sounds likke you choose and pick from my comments.. to find a defense ignoring the point... fructose.. Well that's understandable..

It's not tricky. These two hormones are super important to our bodies and our fat levels. When you consume too much fructose found in common refined sugar and many processed foods -- you develop insulin and leptin resistance, and this is where all goes to shit for your body. Your body fat skyrockets and you become a fatso.
Eliminating high carb junk and sugar took me from 220 lbs, down to 160 in six months and eliminated my diabetes type 2 and my hypertension. I no longer need bp medication and all my labs are at normal levels.
@@MOREHOUSE80 Ice cream, cake, cereals, white bread, soda, sugar with morning coffee. Eat chicken, beef, fish, green vegetables, water, green tea. Their are many eating plans out there. Bottom line NO PROCESSED FOODS or DRINKS.
Alright. Just finished the whole thing. I am absolutely terrified. Not only because of the information that was presented, but also because of how systemic and deep rooted this issue is
The poor kids these days, with cola machines right in the schools and horrible carby foods served daily, sports drinks at sports, cupcakes at every birthday party, liquid sugared yogurt being touted as a good kiddie health food. It's no wonder they're doing liver transplants on 6 and 8 year olds from sugar eating.
I'm trying really hard to quit sugar after a lifetime of ridiculous overindulgence. Watching these lectures has been the most effective way of motivating me to make this change, thank you so much for your work and for sharing this with the world for free.
@@Merknilash Tell me about it my dude. I quit heavy weed, alcohol and cigarette habits that started in early adolescence. Still working on the sugar, but getting closer and closer to finding a protocol that works. Stay strong, we are capable of more than we know.

God I wish just once in my life I had come across a doctor with this type of attitude of NOT blaming the patient for being obese. Go in for ear infection, doc says obviously this condition is caused by your weight, I'll give you antibiotics, but you gotta lose weight. Go home, look at food pyramid, make extra effort to eat "healthy" see no results. Thanks doc. Glad my sore ear gave you an excuse to blame/shame me one more time so I could become further depressed and hopeless.

I think it truly prophetic that the word “pandemic” was used in reference to obesity and diabetes. The people (86% of them) with co-morbidities are the ones who have died from COVID these last 18 months. 🥺
@@pamelavance648 , speaking of profit and co-morbidities, you know what's particularly disheartening for me? Prior to the "pandemic," I was at the gym everyday. My muscle tone was gorgeous, and my BMI was within my optimal healthy range. My diet was low carb and high in healthy fats. Then the "pandemic"... I lost all my work/career (I'm a musician who works in live concert venues). Then my gym closed for lockdowns. I live alone and felt extremely isolated. I began drinking, simply out of having nothing to do... no rewards, seeing my life's work stripped from me, etc. Fast forward to now - I have gained so much weight and feel profoundly defeated. My work has still not returned. In fact, concert promoters who started booking shows for later in '21 are now canceling, due to "delta" surge! So, not only were the obese in the most jeopardy at the start, but people who were not obese have become so, and are added to that demographic. I feel as though only one group of diseased people (those with covid) were prioritized over EVERYONE else. In one year, my entire life has been derailed, and I think it's all a bunch of bs and a sham. But man oh man, there has been A LOT of PROFIT made from this! You said it!

I have been in the health food industry for over a decade (since I developed symptoms of diabetes due to the lifestyle I was leading and the doctor did not suggest to me anything else but drugs down the line). So I started reading, certifying, working in health foods and supplements...I have read hundreds of various books on the topic of human functioning. This video is right on spot - golden! I did not come accross any controversial or misleading information here and the structure is of this video is also really great. More power to this man! (btw: after changing my lifestyle, 10 years later on healthy diet and supplements I not once got those diabetes symptoms ever again!)
At 70 years of age and having had a long history of high bp and long standing high a1c in the prediabetes range, I began to change my life style with a low carb ketogenic diet. The results were almost immediate with lower blood sugar spikes and weight loss, less cravings of carbs. Having watched numerous YT presenters on this topic, it was nice to see a complete wrap up by Dr. Lustig on this disease and its cause.
Please watch Dr Jason Fung's videos. They'll be life-changing also. Then find Dr David Perlmutter's videos. First though, Dr Fung. He has series of videos based on his book, The Obesity Code. Look for "Dr Jason Fung, The Obesity Code lectures, why we gain weight, part 1" for the first video.

Then in 2000 the News started pushing whole wheat by 2001 health declined dramatically by 2010 on complete decline (alzheimer, vertigo, chemical, light & sound sensitives & chronic fatigue) searched for 6 years for a Dr that could help. Finally found one, changed diet, liver & gallbladder cleanses, and detoxing gave me my life back. Our processed food is killing us.
It's been almost 10 years, the findings, his remarks are still stronger than ever. I'm hoping for an update lecture i.e. Fructose 3.0. Please make it 3 hours long if it needs to be hahaha, I can't have enough of his wisdom and experience.
Great video and very solid explanation of the biochemistry. However, I think the role of glucose is downplayed by Dr Lustig. Excess glucose causes rise in insulin which simple carbs like flour/polished rice do trigger. So even if you're having a fructose free diet but rich in glucose, you're definitely exposing yourself to the risks of obesity and metabolic syndrome.
Dear Dr Lustig, thank you for your great presentation and knowledge. I've learned many things even if I live and work near Paris, France. We now can act accordingly and be responsible for our acts. Best wishes to you and your family and team. I've seen your video on suger and fructose, I was shocked and really surprised. Thank you very much for all your inspiration.

Thank you Dr. for your perfect explanation and for taking your time to inform the public on the connections between fructose, metabolic syndrom and deseases. Everybody should educate themselves on these subject in order to stay healthy and you are doing a great job into helping us do that!
I have been fighting my weight since I was 4. I was a skinny kid and then I blew up and didn’t know why, while consuming piles of sugar on my cereal, in my kool aid, everywhere. I had ballooned so big my scale would just error but while at the doctor they weighed me at 355. Type 2 diabetic of course, lethargic and constantly sleepy. I gave up sugar and carbs in May 2021 hoping to just get off insulin. Currently at 240 lbs and off insulin for the last few months. I’m working on building more muscle right now while continuing to lose fat, the difference in how I feel is mind blowing. I never knew the science behind what I had done to my body all these years, and the fact that food companies exacerbate it to the max for profit is just sickening. And then your doctor says eat less fat, as if that was the problem. It’s all about making that dollar to these people. They need to be held accountable for their part in this.
