Lustig’s “Sugar: the bitter truth”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM
The linked video is titled:
The Bottom Line on Processed Food Toxicity
Here are my notes:
- For every 1 patient that Dr. Lustig helped, 10 more showed up at his door
- Lustig likes fiber. it protects the liver and feeds the gut
- real food does that, processed food doesn’t
- 56% of the calories we eat are ultra processed
- when you look at the money we pay for ultra processed food, 20% is for the actual food, 40% is marketing and 40% is profit
- they’re made up of refined grains, sugar, and seed oil….all very dangerous
- the six cellular pathways within the
- cell that are associated with longevity
- they are also the same six elyo pathways
- of chronic disease they are glycation
- oxidative stress inflammation
- mitochondrial dysfunction insulin
- resistance and membrane and stability
- when you look at the actual metabolic
- pathways of each of those
- they aren’t druggable
- they are only foodable
- glucose causes insulin secretion
- the insulin response causes
- sugar overwhelms our system with both glucose and fructose
- real food works for virtually everybody
- remove processed food
- processed food is stuffed with sugar, refined carbohydrates, and seed oils
- just that switch, with nothing else, would have an enormous bang for the buck
- blood sugar is not the same thing as dietary sugar
- blood sugar is glucose
- dietary sugar is glucose fructose
- Dr Lustig talks about a study with a lower sugar diet, every health marker improved one of which was liver fat went down 22%, which helps with insulin resistance
- sugar is toxic because there is so much fructose in there
- that much fructose is killing us
Let’s figure it out! The Fasting Motivation podcast is not medical advice.
Repeat after me:
processed food is toxic
processed food is toxic
