One the best presentations on KZread: eloquently concise and with exceptional clarity. The illustrations are designed to be permanently etched in the memory.

I love your channel!!! Thanks😍😍

For anyone wanting to know more Dr Robert Lustig has videos which explain in detail how glucose and fructose are processed differently by your body and explain why fructose is harder on your body than glucose. (You mention the studies that show this.)

This was so clearly explained, and visualizing insulin resistance with the diagram was really helpful - Very well done! Looking forward to your upcoming videos.

I wish I watched your video 20 years ago, I wasn’t able to understand the relationship between sugar and diabetes. Unfortunately 20 years ago KZread was not invented yet and this lady was still a baby 😀

Hello! May I know your name? This is the first (well technically 2nd) video of yours that I am watching and Wow! Your explanation really is pretty concise and appealing.

I would say that you have gained another subscriber (and lemme tell you this: once I subscribe to any channel, I never unsubscribe any time later). My father has type-2 diabetes and he's been complaining about exactly the same things you have explained in this video. A really very informative video. Regards,

Interesting and informative :)

A suggestion. For diabetic people, what counts is not limiting sugar, but total food quantities. Whatever a diabetic person eat, it will end as sugar in the blood. Maybe not after few hours, but later that steak will raise the blood sugar. Diabetes tablets will work for a while, but for many kinds of the illness, after a number of years the pancreas will be overwhelmed, and the person will need insulin. A special kind of hell on Earth. Insulin will not work well if the person eats more than necessary and is overweight. Also, some of the tablets (pills in US) for diabetes (like the Metformin) have long-term side-effects, namely calcium deficiency and vitamin B12 deficiency; not all doctors do address them correctly. It is possible to identify a predisposition for diabetes early (like the gestational diabetes mentioned in the video); in that case, reduce your weight and eat small for ...ever. Remember that diets are pure theatre and a self-hypocrisy. To reduce weight, you eat whatever you like in a balanced manner; the key is amount, as you will have to leave the dinner table extremely hungry. The effort of a diet is in learning to manage being hungry after finishing eating. People telling they are eating specific food specifically cooked at specific times aren't on a diet; they are, very likely, just fooling themselves. Others do stuck to their written diet, but eat between meals. Same as above. Losing weight is very difficult because of our own nature. Best of luck to all people with diabetes. You can make it...

Yep I agree, keep eating the sugar. You have to live a little. And most people do that...live a little. How's that 'not limiting sugar' working out ? It's plain to see that it isn't. My siblings & other family along with some friends listen to that advice and drink it with their cool aid. How come I quit sugar when I was pre diabetic, which in reality is diabetes, and the others did not and they are all slowly dying from diabetes and on a bunch meds and I am not ? Am I just lucky ? That's what they use to say. I am 73 and doing good. A sibling sitting in the next room at 74 can not walk and was a colligate athletic star, was all-state in three sports in HS ( Baseball #1) but hasn't quit eating sugar bc his dietician said sugar is ok. BS ! A slow decline over 15 years or so. Doing the same thing over & over expecting a different result is insanity ! Book; A dieticians dilemma; What to do when I got better doing the opposite of what I was taught?! Her supervisor said "don't rock the boat !" Sugar doesn't matter my behind !! Suggest you observe people and their shopping carts at the grocery store ! 2+2=4 Pretty simple. People make it complex for a reason, as diabetes continues to blossom in huge numbers. I am the only sibling that can physically play with my grandchildren and that is priceless! Baseball included. I am lucky & grateful but some of that luck was due to quitting sugar AND sweeteners. Yes food is converted into glucose and should be limited but types of food makes a difference.

Excellent video.

Nice lecture

great video

So the reason why fructose causes more visceral fat gains than glucose does is because it causes more hepatic de novo lipogenesis right? Are there other factors at play which influence whether de novo lipogenesis will happen in the liver or in adipocytes? If so, could they be used to reduce visceral gains from sugar consumption?

Kempner's Rice Diet at Duke University is interesting, as people ate white sugar, fruit juice, fruit, and, of course, (white) rice. People lost weight and improved or reversed various diseases. However, I don't see that as a healthy option for the long term. Maybe it was good as a crash diet for a limited time. *Anyway, what about the role of dietary fat allegedly causing NAFLD, and that, in turn, leading to T2D?* This is a never-ending debate between the Keto/Carnivore group (high-fat, low-carb) and the Vegan group (high-carb, low-fat). Both groups report arresting and even reversing T2D. I don't know who or what to believe.

The illustration and walk through was great, but there are more studies about the cause of diabetes than you are letting on. For the last hundred years studies have shown that a high fat diet where the person gains wait, and ends up with lots of myocellular fat, causes type II diabetes. Being that you're with the chemical association, I see how you all might not delve too far into those studies. You all don't really want a diet based solution. Still, it is good for some people to have access to the meds because not all cases are equal in severity, and not all people are able to / or want to change their eating habits.

@themogget8808

One answer to that is the donut problem. Not a lot of studies control for the sugar, per se. So when someone eats the donut and gets diabetes, was it because of the high fat diet? Yes. Was it because of the high sugar diet? Yes. Junk diets tend to have both, and studies of diet interventions tend to exclude both. The other answer is that while dietary refined sugar causes diabetes, there are other causes too. Factors. The top suspects are refined sugar, refined oils, and animal products. They might all contribute. So if we insist on only having one, THE cause, we might never agree on it. Some of do believe in a diet based solution, have cut out all of these things, and have seen dramatic results.

I have eaten a 70 percent animal fat diet for three years, and my pre diabetes is completely gone...

Well, all the high fructose corn syrup is certainly something to worry about. This should be regulated in some sorts tbh.

HAVE THEY TESTED RATS?

So why doesn't my urine reagent strips turn from dipping in my pee when I pig out on homemade chocolate fudge made with table sugar? And when I make a syrupy mixture of table sugar and water, then why don't my urine reagent strips turn when dipped in this mixture? But Fructose turns my strips to the darkest brown from my urine and when I test the corn syrup even diluted with water. I think more study should be done on this because I am talking about Cane Sugar vs Corn Syrup. Check out Hershey's Chocolate Syrup where the first Ingredient is High Fructose Corn Syrup and other foods like BBQ Sauce with the first Ingredient is High Fructose Corn Syrup. So I've stopped eating anything that is loaded with CORN SYRUP.

But my mum has I diabetes but she is only 39

Yes and no. Ultraprocessed foods (which among other things contains refined sugar) causes us to overeat calories which eventually in some people will cause diabetes.

What do you think causes insulin resistance? Eating too much HFCS.

If your cells need sugar to run, but sugar causes insulin resistance..? . then there is a fault in your logic somewhere? just a simple question.(shrug!) mmh what about the fat in the blood at the same time does that not clog up the insulin receptors, so the insulin stops working and sugar cannot pass into cells? mmmh🤔

Yes, it does if you eat too much. I am an expert on the causes of type 2 diabetes, and I understand it better than 99.999 percent of the population. No, I don't believe I'm correct because of the Dunning-Krueger effect. I am an expert because of decades of a lot of research, testing, reading studies, evolutionary and scientific thought, although I don't completely understand diabetes. Nobody does. I do know that I'm a lot closer than most everybody else is though. I literally understand it better than even 95+ percent of medical doctors, nutritionists and dietitians also. Fructose is the main driver I'm certain of T2DM.

It’s not complicated. Diabetes is caused by being obese. And since sugar is the biggest way people get obese. So…. No sugar does not directly cause diabetes

unsaturated fats are also implicated. unsaturated fats tell a fat cell to stay overly insulin sensitive and send messages to the rest of your body to become insulin insensitive. what are the main ingredients in processed food? unsaturated fat and fructose. stay away from omega6 and fructose AND limit glucose if you're heading down the path to diabetes. And, chances are, you are already more than halfway down that path if you're over 30. Start eating lamb and cow and some vegetables if you wanna turn that around. and you do.

We know the cause (carbs) and cure (qutting carbs) for type 2 diabetes. Carbs includes both starches and sugars. Fats can play a role too, but mainly polyunsaturated plant oils that are prone to oxidation, not saturated fats which are stable. It honestly is that simple.

If you would replace the word ”carb” with ”ultraprocessed foods” I would agree with you. Most of the healthiest foods contain carbohydrates.

Good video. Thought-provoking, yet quite accurate, as far as I can tell. But I take some small issue with how things are presented at 4:40, telling that if you eat more sugar than your body converts to energy it is stored as fat. This is true, as far as I can tell, but it skews the relevant question to ask in the question of surplus calories, because we eat foods with a mix of macronutrients(protein, sugars, fats), and fats may be more easily stored and are more energy dense, so one could think that it would be more effective to limit fat intake before blaming the sugars for the surplus calories. But I guess all foods that easily lead to caloric surplus, sugary or fatty or else, are fair game. (a random article states that excessive fructose consumption can't be distinguished from excessive caloric intake when it comes to metabolic syndrome and overweight: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33785129/ )

@themogget8808

I think the biggest confusion of the video is the difference between sugar being a cause of diabetes (It is) and it being the only cause of diabetes (it isn't). Yes sugar causes diabetes, and so does oils and other concentrated fats, as well as animal products. They seem to work by slightly different mechanisms, as fructose and glucose and fat are all processed differently by the body. A calorie isn't always a calorie, and things like calorie density and insulin index matter. Your body doesn't just process the total calories, it uses signals to understand what form those are in and process it differently. Some foods, like oil and sugar, are more likely to cause insulin resistance than diets of the same total calories but in other forms. They have done studies of whole food plant diets in which they ate the same calories (with a lot more chewing) as the processed food group, and yet still did better.
