Dr. Lustig doesn't know everything. What he doesn't know is 3 years ago after a not so good doctors appointment about my high blood pressure, overweight, fatty liver and sky high triglycerides I turned to KZread for information and ran across his first video on sugar. It was so mind boggling I kept going to other videos he spoke on and made all of the changes he recommended. Before 12 months past I dropped 52 pounds, stopped taking 7 medications, 4 which were prescription and had that 20 year old feeling again at the age of 61. I would love to tell him thank you and hope he reads this post. I consider myself an educated person but I was so dumb in all this health and nutrition stuff. I am also a little upset I had to go to KZread to learn this while going for physicals every 6 months with my PCP that only threw a pill at a symptom instead of how to totally avoid that symptom through diet. BP averages 125/65, triglycerides went from 388 to 44, triglyceride divide by HDL= 0.38 and I take nothing now.

Good job. It's sad that most people are not educated on health and nutrition stuff and most physicians have no clue as to how to properly treat metabolic syndromes. Millions of people are still suffering from metabolic syndromes with poor diets. Physicians would make a lot less money if 80% of the population quits standard American diet.

If you have metabolic syndrome the book metaboplical is a life changer. Thankfully after being diagnosed with heat issues three years ago aged 62 at the time I started on an journey to fitness and wellness. Keto diet was instrumental in getting me there (lost 85Lbs) along with intermittent fasting, resistant training and good cardio work outs. It comes down to two basic things. Eat real good quality whole foods and move more (ideally with resistance involved). Cut down on alcohol and all sugars refined or not. Get blood tests at least twice a year and look at the numbers yourself. Do your own research. Drink at least 1/2 gallon water per day more if you can take it. But never forget to live life to the full. My ambition, is to die as healthfully as possible.

Lustig is great. He really knows his stuff. Someone has to get out there in front. You can see how this frustrates him (the organizations that keep doing things the current way).

Great interview , Thankyou . You asked really important questions . States following Dr Lustig a week ago . Info I needed . Dive into cortisol , if out of wak is just as bad as Suger .

I owe to Dr. Lustig the knowledge that sugar drives up cholesterol and triglycerides. Incredibly, I have been taking Annual Physical exams at one of the most reputable clinics in a major city, and no one dared to explain to me correctly how to reduce cholesterol other than "reduce red meat consumption and exercise". His videos inspired me to do research, and I decided to cut all processed foods and all added sugar. I also went further and moved to a whole-foods, plant-dominant diet. Per his recommendation, I avoid fructose like the plague, except in natural fruit form. I took LDL down from 160 to 90 with diet alone, then added a low-dose statin and I am now at 62. Blood pressure came down from 135/85 to 118/73. My ability/energy to exercise came back at age 51. I now exercise 5 times per week, instead of 1.

@elizabethwhite1068

2 ай бұрын

You should know that he does NOT recommend statins for primary prevention, and, frankly, 62 is extremely low. They have only recently lowered the arbitrary number so they can get more people taking this dangerous drug for life, and now they can justify putting children on it for life, too. LDL is not the problem, they have only glommed onto saying that it is because they came up with a pill for it. It is not a MAKER of disease and is a very poor MARKER of disease. It has a very necessary function in the body. And lipoproteins are not cholesterol. They are like taxis for cholesterol and fatty acids that get them into the cells so they can do their work. There is only one cholesterol molecule, it's in every cell wall and is a large percentage of our brains. This is why a side effect of statins is muscle pain and memory issues. In order to reduce the number you're killing cells. If you could snap your fingers and have all the cholesterol leave your body you would immediately drop dead. It's critical to many other pathways as well, like making hormones. Kinda sounds important, right? I recommend looking into Ancel Keys to learn how we got to demonizing a life critical molecule, especially when there was a competing theory at the time that said sugar was the problem. Hm, how has that worked out for us?

Just please don't forget that Type 1 diabetes is fundamentally different from Type 2 diabetes because it's not caused by a crappy diet/ insulin resistance from too much sugar, it's caused by a damage to the pancreas itself, in many cases caused by certain viruses. That means you can't cure type2 by a change in diet, you will always have to supplement Insulin. Again, wishing you all the best and a long and healthy life!

Grass fed beef is one thing..but how is it FINISHED? Be careful with assumptions. Grass fed for the first part of the steer’s life is lovely; but very often untold, is how the last month or so of the animal spends its time? In a feed lot to fatten up a bit? All over the place you may find declarations that the beef is “grass fed” but hardly ever (except perhaps at a farmer’s market) will you hear “grass fed and grass finished “. How much of a difference does it really make? I don’t know…but it would be interesting to find out.

Rob's last point is that Fructose decreases Mitachondrial beta-oxidation as a pre-cursor to Parkinsons disease .My Father died from Parkinsons ,so he must have had damaged mitachondria ( at least partly, caused by Fructose in our Processed Food ). Soft drinks ,especially , are full of Fructose that damages our mitachondria .

If what Lustig says about the need for fiber is true then why is it that zero carb diets are very successful. The Inuit above the Arctic circle survived and thrived for thousands of years with zero carbs which would also include fiber. The first white explorers reported that these natives had no metabolic disease and were uniformly lean and healthy by just eating saturated fat and animal protein.

I think he’s talking about the average person who consumes carbs and has gut bacteria that reflects that. Those bacteria need fiber. Anyone who goes on the carnivore diet will tell you about their massive gut reset, and accompanying gastric distress, which they go through after a couple weeks. That’s the result of their gut bacteria dying off. What takes its place, I don’t know, but seems like totally different gut microbes would be present in someone eating only meat than someone eating a macro balanced diet.

@toriwolf1014 I'm in the same boat, but the way I see it is I either pay for it now or I'll pay for it later in increased health costs and a potentially life-threatening disease. By then, I'd probably be willing to buy as much grass-fed beef as I can get my hands on, and it would most likely be too late. Besides, when you eat healthy vegetables and fruits alongside the grass-fed beef, they are far less expensive than the processed crap in boxes. How much would you be willing to pay to save your life if you had to? Be sure to compare prices. I've actually found some grass-fed beef that was less expensive than the other stuff, surprisingly.

Omega 3 in fish is magic..

Are the sugar and fructose amounts the Liver can handle additional or is it just one or the other ? Paid for my own private fasting insulin, awaiting results.

Is Insulin Resistance (IR) test also very important marker for T2 Diabetes!? My GP is always pro this test...

What if I'm eating only meat? The nutrition and meat is 100% bioavailable. Does it require fiber to be digested? I'm thinking that the only reason we need fiber is in order to digest all the nearly impossible to digest nutrients in plants and grains.

It's a pity nobody talks about the process of GROWING the real food. Only small-scale, artisanal, organic, natural and permaculture farming can PRODUCE the real food that the good doctor speaks about. So who's gonna do all that work? Us??

I don't get all the metabolic process details, but I'm slowly familiarizing myself with the vocabulary. he's such a help and such a comedian, makes me laugh, cheers me on. it's heartwarming to read the testimonials in the comments.

14 years ago… hopefully they’ve learned more since then… get some updated stuff

How come 100% whole wheat food that has more fiber than white bread with pretty much hardly any fiber have the same glycemic index IF fiber is helping so much with sugar spikes; that has never made sense to me. Could someone please explain this.

Lustig says check the ratio of fiber grams to carbs in whole grain breads. It shouldn't be higher than 1: 10. So a slice with 3 g fiber and 30 grams total carbs is better than 5 grams carbs and 80 g carbs. If this helps. Helps me decide on items with flour in them. (And of course no added sugar)

My ALT is 20 My Triglycerides are 79. I will be asking for Fasting Insulin

5:35 in his BOOK, “In Defense of Food” Pollan explains “food” is “real food”, less than five ingredients, all things your grandmother wd recognize; “not too much” watch portion sizes (now problematic: the body doesn’t like being hungry”). “Mostly plants” /full plate living more fiber: was the big thing then. It’s an old book and piece in the Times. One HAS to always consider the entire context and get the whole story, not just what’s been cherry-picked in order to make a point.

"Real food doesn't have a label." That succinctly makes the point I've often tried to impart using many more words. I'm keeping it.

My VA Dr said my Ldl was high and I needed to be on meds. I asked what my Hdl was (I'd been to this rodeo before) and he said fine. I pushed and asked was the difference between my Ldl and Hdl the same or better than it should be for "normal Ldl/Hdl." At this point the Dr admitted my difference was very good and looking at it this way I was fine. 😂 They just wanted to push meds

Which of the important blood tests must be taken in a fasted state? I have noticed a huge difference, for example higher triglycerides after eating, is that normal and ok?

Triglycerides for sure. I'm sure others as well. I just make sure to go in a fasted state. Also, ask for a full panel test. Sadly, many doctors don't tell you to fast before getting a blood draw.

So interesting! ❤

Yes this is an awesome simplified and explanation of a complicated concept. But what do I eat? This cant be that difficult?
