- Robert Lustig - What is Metabolic Syndrome Anyway?
From the JumpstartMD Weight of the Nation Conference 2018
JumpstartMD is a medical practice dedicated to pre-emptive medicine through lifestyle changes and healthy, sustainable weight loss. Personalized program based on proven nutritional science, one-on-one lifestyle counseling and real, fresh food. Founded by Stanford trained physicians and board-certified Diplomates of the American Board of Obesity Medicine. PPO, HSA and FSA reimbursement support provided to patients.
With a strong commitment to reducing the quality and quantity of carbohydrates consumed, the stigmata of metabolic syndrome and fatty liver disease can reverse even before weight loss although much more dramatically in combination. For example, with as little as 10 percent weight loss, which 95 percent of our clients achieve at 6 months, NAFLD (Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease) is often reversed. Cost wise, patients without NAFLD show a 26 percent lowering in their health costs over 5 years.
But more importantly, with pre-emptive elimination of fatty liver disease, there’s no need to see the transplant surgeon. The prescription is simply guiding and supporting people toward healthy lifestyle changes that work to preempt diseases like fatty liver disease or the others that go along with it: diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, metabolic syndrome, various cancers, and arguably dementia. The improvements are dramatic, transformational, and utterly sensible.
JumpstartMD has convenient weight loss centers throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, from Marin to Monterey and San Francisco to Pleasanton. Our offices have a range of services and hours to help support your goals and lifestyle.

Dr Robert Lustig is a National Treasure
He certainly is
I am a Dr from Algeria 🇩🇿, and the amount of knowledge I just got from this video is waaaay more than what I've learned from all my years of study
Medical science is hijacked by evildoers who manipulate data to keep people believing in pharmaceuticals instead of healthy habits
#truth ☕
I am originally from Algeria too, living in Canada for over 33 years. I wish more Doctors from there watch this. But I believe things are getting better as there are many efforts done to bring awareness to the diet people have there. In the 60’s 70’s and even 80’s were healthier and they didn’t consume as much fast food as nowadays.
@@naima8392 yes, me too I hope they would overcome the old dated way and open up to the new science..
@@algeriennehealthysimplelif6612 Je vous admire pour votre volonté. Bon courage! Que Allah vous aide dans votre cheminement.
I watched hundreds if not thousands of CZcams videos and trust me, this is one that affected me the most, because I have mild metabolic syndrome! I listened this one, 4 times and I’ll intend to listen even more! This video leaves on me one of the deepest impression in this CZcams community! It earned in my mind a very deep respect and admiration for Dr Lustig!
right on!
Do you still have metabolic syndrome?
antonio garibay Yes, I do! Very mild, because I mantained iz with diet! I’m 67 old 6’ and 170 p.It’s hard for my body to rejuvenate (heal itself) My blood sugar is about 100-120 or my A1C is about 5.6-5.7...BP is around 140/ 85, but I have good triglycerides about 72, LDL 190...HDL 57. I don’t falow any special diet, just I don’t take any sugary drink or food, don’t eat carbohydrates also. Run bicycle about 10-12 mi/day...But trust me if don’t take care about these things, everything would be a lot worse! I had stroke exactly on my 60. birthday! Partially is inherited, but also I had sloppy living...As I disciplined myself everything change! If you have similar problem, I wish you good luck and strength! It is require some effort especially first few months, later is much more easier!
Agree w you, the doctor’s exposure is really fantastic, I improved my health a lot with low carb, but he’s absolutely right when he says at the beginning that we don’t need to talk about low carb, etc .... just eat real food (without adding sugar and without refined or ultra-processed food) ... and we solve the root cause of dozens of diseases that arise with the metabolic crisis (insulin resistance) 👏👏👏👏 the obesity code is a great book too about the same subject, from Dr.Jason Fung.
Sílvio Jacovelli Thanks for suggestion! 👍
I have worked in nursing homes for 30 years. They have a common diagnosis among the residents called Failure to Thrive. After watching this video, Metabolic syndrome seems more likely. The nursing homes feed the residents sugary beverages, new wheat, oat fed meat, and cakes, pies, chips, canned, sugary fruit. The nursing homes are treating people with the symptoms of metabolic syndrome with sugary, "nutritional" supplemental drink.
Slow Death / SUICIDE☕
It’s craziness. Their tray is filled with simply sugar (all carbs), processed food (jello & pudding) and overly processed meat. When my father in law was in the hospital for his last heart attack it was attempted murder what they were feeding him, knowing he is diabetic.
@@Laniemg it’s cheaper and easier to do, unfortunately.
its the cheap food/drink mode to keep the residents happy and quiet.
@Lauren-vd4qe true. Older folks (I'm a 60 year old practicing nurse with LTC/SNF experience and a background in gerontology BTW) tend to preferentially eat sugary foods, usually because it's about the only thing they can taste anymore. Aaand...far too often they have T2DM going on as well.
Part of the problem has been that a "diabetic friendly" diet has been based on the recommendations of the American Diabetes Association, which had a minimum amount of 130 grams of carbohydrate per patient per day, with no consideration as to the source of those carbs. Which translates to...lots of canned peas/beans/carrots, PBJ's on white bread, etc.
Thankfully, the ADA is at least considering the bare possibility now that carbohydrate restriction might be a viable alternative to stuffing the residents full of highly processed sugar bombs until they get shipped out for amputations/heart attacks/strokes/etc.
I am a biochemist and truly have never heard a better analysis of insulin resistance. Mind-boggling Will have to hear Dr lustig again and again to understand the nuances. Sir you do know your subject... better than anyone I know. Wish we could get you to India. God bless you in your phenomenal work
It is so hard now watching friends & family eating crap food & ruining their health. I feel like all I can do is be an example.
Sooo true! I have 5 smart middle aged sisters who KNOW this stuff but refuse to change habits because they think it will be too hard. I send emails linking to videos like this and I hear crickets. One challenge is affording to eat whole fresh foods preferably organic.
They are waiting for MSM to brain-wash them. And MSM won’t do it.
@@gtm5650 Actually that is what I've been doing :) It's only been 3 months and I haven't seen any of them in person so just wait until they see me looking 10 years younger and energy of a jack rabbit, lol!
@@gtm5650 not sure what you mean about which of the 3? I'm doing two meals a day - 1:00pm and 6:00pm Not as strict as Dr. Berg recommends because I'm still figuring out what foods and quantities are best for me to feel sated and resolve what I believe is insulin resistance but I don't go for testing and I'm not trying to lose 200 lbs. I weaned myself off ALL processed foods, ALL refined sugars and starches and oils, ALL dairy last year. Since January 1 I'm eating nothing but organic fruits, vegetables including potatoes. Lots of soups with a chicken broth base and I eat 3-6 eggs daily (controversial I know but I have free range chickens and consider them to be an ancient, complete food).
oops I hit the wrong key. I'm 64 and was experiencing general decline, malaise, muscle wasting, dehydration and weak after working in garden..... So taking magnesium, potassium, acerola cherry vitamin C, herbs, collagen....and more. To summarize results, brain fog with depression has lifted, don't need a nap after eating, lost 17 lbs in 2 mths, feel like exercising again and getting stronger, skin and muscle tone are coming back and I never crave bad stuff unless I skip my monster veggie salad every day :) When I'm too lazy to prepare a full meal I juice a ton of celery, carrots, kale, apple.....
TMI ?
I left out a big reason I decided to change was random heart palpitations, hearing congestion in my lungs when in bed, worrying about cancer as I'm a former smoker....
Doctor Lustig is a true genius and a brave warrior! I'm so thankful for his books and lectures!
This is one of the most important lectures on CZcams!!! Everyone in the world needs to understand this!
I loved it
I listened to it, but I still don't understand it. All that I need is a 5-minute explanation in plain English.
@@tjellis1479 I like honey and grape juice. Both are said to be loaded with fructose. That is my only source of sugar; and so, I will quit both.
👏👏👏🤷♀️💞😘scarily accurate statement!!
Except a coin has two sides. czcams.com/video/CT8K6NcAigo/video.html
This guy totally makes sense, good on him for pointing out what the food industry has done to us.
Yes I agree. People need to be informed about high fat and fructose, fat is a potent cause of elevated blood pressure in 1960's! Look on any death certificate it will state hypertension as a secondary cause. czcams.com/video/CT8K6NcAigo/video.html
Sorry Sugar, I'm divorcing you sweetheart.
Same our behavior's bad habits eats us like sugar so divorce them too dear so praise creater forever happiness builds up
@Ben Louis Honey is the side gal. _That homewrecker!_
@@AmbuBadger 😂😂😂👍
Great reply, but honey, the side chick is just as bad. She will seduce you and secretly raise your blood sugar. Sugar is sugar no matter what she calls herself. They both will tear down house and home. (your body).
Everyone should be sharing this video with their parents. And vegetarians who barely eat veggies, but eat tons of starches.
Lol, did you even watch the video? Starches are glucose, not fructose.
Haha yeah show this very in-depth nearly hour long video with your parents. 😂 I feel ya though. Every vegan I know looks much older than they are and kind of sickly.
@@iforc they look sickly, because they went vegetarian due to illness!
@@anonuniversal364 At last, someone who was actually paying attention.
The low carb community are obsessed with this and many would love to claim Lustig for one of their own.
Please listen to the first 5 seconds of the video, that's all you need.
Can he make it any clearer? 😉
Better still, read his books and take a look at what he advocates that we eat.
You'll find grains and potatoes very high up on his list of priorities, along with recommending that people eat (whole) fruit "ad libitum!"
@@anonuniversal364 agreed, the point was missed. They removed fructose from the children's diets, and replaced it with starches.
This is so much better than statistical studies that "suggest" things. When I see biochemical pathways, I believe we're dealing with real shit.
Eating industrialized, processed foods causing issues. Who knew? Now we have a movement of the obese who say that they are fine and that the DIET INDUSTRY is the issue. Nevermind the industrialized, processed food industry is worth 1,000% more money (literally, not figuratively).
So i stuck with it and have to say, this lecture ought to be life changing for those suffering from IR and is eye opening for medical practitioners.
Excellent lecture. Lustig is a highly intelligent man well versed in the field.
Dr Lustig is the best and knowledgable doctor !!! He simplifies and easy to understand the material!!!
My husband had metabolic syndrome when I met him and he didn't know it. He had no insurance at the time and was reluctant to go to a doctor. I feared for him because I could hear his heart skipping beats and glub glubbing erratically when I'd sleep close to his chest. One day he severely injured his hand and needed emergency surgery. That accident actually saved his life. Between the pre-surgical EKG and the post-surgical recovery episodes recorded, he was immediately sent to an ICU step-down unit for his heart. I can't remember all of his lab values, but the triglycerides were in the 1600's and that's not a misprint. His cholesterol was only slightly lower. He was also diagnosed with episodes of ventricular fibrillation. He also had terrible sleep apnea. He was a walking time bomb. They started him on several medications. Did more tests and procedures. Brought his labs back into normal ranges, changed his diet, put him on CPAP and his story is one for the books for his cardiologist, Dr. Deepak Khanna, who said he may have only one other person, in all his years in such bad shape. I'm a maternity nurse, not a med/surg nurse, and I didn't know such a thing existed as metabolic syndrome. My husband's mother and most siblings are diabetic, he's not, but this was supposed to have been a precursor.
We couldn't be more grateful for the events and medical care which led to saving his life.
Sugar is only one part of metabolic syndrome. The real problem is cholesterol and triglyceride levels. www.alliedacademies.org/articles/serum-lipid-profiles-in-acute-myocardial-infarction-patients-in-gorgan.html#a1

This sounds horrific...join the rest of the developed world America.
i hope you now feed him an alkaline diet with little/no sugar/no alcohol etc.
Dr. Jason Fung promotes fasting protocols to quickly reverse fatty liver... Worked for me !
fatty liver often resolves on its own too, but intermittent fasting can definitely help if it decreased your calorie consumption. Lustig makes a good point against fructose specifically being particularly bad for the liver, which Fung also points out. Both Lustig and Fung are good, their approaches are complimentary.
Sobriety, keto and fasting reversed my NAFLD in 2 months
Fasting works because you have long period of non-caloric intake which puts pressure away from your liver and lets it work itself out
The 177 dislikes are from sugar industry PR folks, and Coca Cola.
Or maybe from people that don't like the shouty delivery of this talk
From people who understand, that his conclusion and data is incorrect.
@@liutasx Please direct us to reliable sources which discredit his data and conclusions,, if you are going to dispute them. Thanks in anticipation!
@@altareggo
No health impact in people who consumed 150 g of fructose for 8 weeks, no ectopic fat increase in liver or increase triglycerides production by liver -pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31796953/ .

@altareggo, those mentioned by you dislikes were a year ago feb 2019?, But today, Feb 20, 2021, the Dislikes are at 503 count. Yet the people who are awake to this truth are numbering at 9.2K!
As a retired ED physician I had the opportunity to see and treat the aftermath of the epidemic that you present. I hope the whole world listens. Thank you and God blesses you.
Banning High-fructose corn syrup
Let's burn corn and sugar cane field...
Bell Cranel All it would take is ending the subsidization of the sugar and corn industry.
all added sugars are baaad, mmmkay?
Wade Patton ... no, human bodies can process moderate amounts of glucose. Fructose is toxic.
@@Inventeeering Yes, for you. I believe differently and my doctors agree. All the studies in my camp show HFCS and free sugars to be equally evil. Go right ahead with your beliefs.
I lost 40 pounds doing KETO and Fasting my husband can’t believe it. He’s jumping on board now. Last year I walked 5 miles a day and my weight wouldn’t budge. I wouldn’t get lower then I give Fasting and KETO a try and BOOM 🤯 I’m losing weight. YAY
It’s been 3 weeks. How’s your husband doing now?
I’ve done a zero sugar diet and dropped all My excess fat. I still have carbs from legumes and sunflower seed butter. No intention of tempting you lol
Same here. Down 40 with IF and keto. Adding more IF and going to try eating every other day to make next breakthrough level.
The audience appears to be doctors and industry professionals. It was difficult for me to keep up and I did not understand many of the terms used. Fortunately, I already understand the conclusion and on my second year of recovery from the diet recommended to us over the past 50 years.
My doctor wants me on medication to solve type 2 diabetes and statins for high cholesterol they never talk about diet.... crazy and very sad ☹️
Hi Julie are you looking for help with your diet in order to reverse the high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes?
Your doctor wants to make money off of you, the doctor wants to pay off his car and his house. You live in free market capitalism; humans are by nature selfish.
If you want to be healthy, you have to figure it out yourself. Your doctor will help you to spend money on medicine and medical "services", if that's what you want, seek "help" from your doctor.
A doctor is not a healer. A doctor, like everyone else, is a consumer; he wants more money so he can consume more goods and services.
RUN
Check our virtahealth - They have a proper approach almost completely diet and amazingly successful results.
Dr Paul mason has a video talking about satin and how it is not the best thing. In a video where he talks about saturated fats and cholesterol and why they are not bad.
As someone with Fatty Liver and being warned about Metabolic Syndrome by my GP , This video was amazing for so long I couldn't understand why I was working daily in the sun and couldn't lose weight despite eating decent and not a lot of junk ... This nailed it I drink A Lot of Pepsi!!! I've switched to water will see how it goes
How is drinking a lot of pepsi "eating decent and not a lot of junk"????
Brian Misera ppl don’t understand that food and drink is essentially the same thing. Even tho they physically shove it the same hole. i guess the soda industry managed to do that at some point
You were probably eating too much fructose czcams.com/video/CT8K6NcAigo/video.html
Update, Drogyn?
@@marlaplunk2833 This is Drogyn's son, he died of Pepsi overdose. F
My favorite lecturer and speaker!!! Its been too long since you have come out with new fresh insight!!!
I am so glad that I stopped eating sugar 35 years ago.
I stopped 5 months ago and have dropped 50 lbs and feel amazing!!
I started eating whole food only in '78 but fall off the wagon regularly.
BUT... no fast food, soda, juice, processed food, rarely go to restaurants.
Pastries get me though if they're in the office or home :(
Whoa!
It's not just sugar. That's a very reductionist viewpoint. It is all calories. The reason why we have a diabetes epidemic is the average fat in the western diet is 43% calories. It should be < 25%. In countries with no diabetes it is
@@TB1M1 Carbs and insulin response fuels obesity. It's hard to eat too many calories when you eat to satiety with quality protein and saturated fat with low carbs. I eat lots and have no weight issues, aged 51 my body fat % is 10, bmr with lean muscle is 24%.
Love his no nonsense way of stating the facts. I direct all my family to watch his videos. I have been low carb for 4 months and am working on getting rid of all the processed food in my cabinets and fridge and switching my family to real foods.
Hahaha 🤣🤣 true
As a non-medical person, I realize how much I do not know. Love the presentation, but imagine if we could create this for general public/kids...and truly educate the people affected.
He's been trying for 10 years. Lot of people spending money on not making him heard.
Dr. Lustig is trying to make change in the MEDICAL community. Dr. Ted Naiman makes his appeal very effectively to the LAYMAN: www.burnfatnotsugar.com
Dr. Lustig has some great presentations and interviews for the public, check them out: czcams.com/video/mv2L96A5Q-8/video.html and czcams.com/video/ceFyF9px20Y/video.html.
Don't get excited, involved in speech whch makes us use foul words gentlemen dear.dr🌹🌝💚
Dear Dr. Lustig and your Team
Your video presentations have helped me finally take the decision to change my lifestyle regarding food.
Watching Sugar: the bitter truth I was shocked to realize that my eating habits prove that HFCS is POISON!
Between the ages of 28-32 I gained over 60 lbs, was diagnosed with High blood pressure, and Gout!!- it was during this period as a restaurant manager that I consumed high volume of Pepsi cola and soft drinks daily. Three of the 4 possible diseases that can result by consuming High fructose in soft drinks, hopefully thanks to you I will not get Diabetes.
Lord bless you and yours colleagues !
Wow. I wish I had known this 20 years ago. I wish doctors knew this. I am thankful I know now and hope that I can improve my health and extend my life.
This is why the FDA needs to be shut down I am hoping more doctors and health workers will start standing up to this. HELP! wake me up from this nightmare.
To be the change is the best example as others will listen if you show them. Be the change as talk is cheap. I am the change ! 👍 Know this in yourself.
But it still hurts to see friends and family eating themselves into dysfunctional lives--totally brainwashed by industry. Four years I've been the example, I'm endeavoring to persevere.
Excellent presentation. I wish I had paid more attention in Chemistry in high school, but in the end it comes down to sugar being the silent killer.
It’s crazy how everything is interconnected. How sensitive our bodies are yet they can take such punishments.
Two years ago my adult autistic and developmentally disabled/ cognitively impaired grandson was hospitalized for four days. The doctors could or would not give me a diagnosis, but treated him with probiotics and antibiotics..after four days they decided to send him home in diapers (which he did not need when he was admitted), and with an elevated temp. Since I had been off my psych meds for those four days (another story) I was ready to throw the drs out the third floor window. When I saw the discharge papers I found out they said he had metabolic keto-acidosis.. within two weeks of being back home I had him well enough to begin attending his day program again.
Not surprised. Most don't know shit! You being off meds showed you the horrible reality.
I'm not a doctor, but I'm 66 years old and this has been my life. Through a keto diet I've been able to get rid of the pain in my body that set in when I turned 59. I was definitely a sugar-holic, and when I quit both grains AND all forms of sugar, the pain was GONE. Now I'm learning about metabolic syndrome. Thank you, Dr. Lustig, for information that a non-medical person could understand.
This video is the BOMB! Great job!! Thank you so much for posting.
Great presentation. Love that he doesn't sugar coat it. I worked the medical field 35 yrs. I would quote the the usual mantra, at the same time questioning if it was right. Since going LCHF and learning real data. My approach now is so different. Also very frustrating, because the now advice is like global warming. If you speak out against the dietary guidelines you are speaking like a heretic.
how do u get your fiber?
@jenny henley
Fiber is a carbohydrate and not essential in the human diet.
Of course he wouldn't sugar coat it, that shit's a toxin
Wat is LCHF
@@louisewilken6883 low carb, high fat
As always Dr. Lustig does another brilliant lecture. He, more than anyone else, really drives the point home that insulin resistance/diabetes is not JUST a fat man disease, and slim people should not be complacent. Something that I found really eye opening was how chronic stress could lead to obesity. While I hear about this from different health and fitness experts, it always seemed like pseudoscience to me. I have always thought that obesity was purely the result of chronic dietary indiscretions. Now that Dr. Lustig explained the mechanisms by which chronic stress can induce obesity (18:00 - 20:00), now I can see how so many of my friends, who meticulously watch their diet, but who are chronically stressed, seem to have a hard time losing weight. It definitely makes me less judgmental.
This guy is changing the world, one life at a time. He just changed mine - for the better. I might owe him my life. Watching this video is like watching "Inconvenient Truth" - you can't un-see it, and you know it changes everything.
SAD (standard American diet) is so aptly named.
Another very-very-very GOOD presentation, a must have for all medics and MDs. Come on guys! :) Thank you Dr. Lustig!!
I didn't understand much of this presentation because of the physiological words, but goodness what an incentive to educate myself into fully understanding the message he is purveying.

Here is another one of his first lectures. Take notes !
Sugar the bitter truth!

Wow! I've watched many of Dr. Lustig's video but this one was special. Some of the content was slightly over my head but I grasped the big picture. I have no idea why this took so long getting mixed into my feed ( it's four years old) but like a good book I couldn't put in down or in this case, stop watching. Thank you sir!
How I dream of the food of my childhood, where all did not taste sweet. I am regarded as but an old crank.
A good diet, but "certainly not a weight loss diet." Thank you, Dr. Lustig
Excellent presentation!
"I am not a Low Carber." Got that? Good! 😉
It seems that Lustig is often being interviewed and quoted by the Low Carb adherents, some of whom really try to push him on the subject, in order to get some "validation."
Good for him for sticking to his guns and making a point of doing so
Dr Lustig , thank you so much for your presentations.
In november 2017 I saw your convincing videos for the first time and was shocked. fructose toxic? I changed my entire diet as a test and already after two days I could see positive effects on the digestion. I have maintained the diet to this day and feel more energy in my body. finally i had the explanation why i have damaged menisci on my knees, although i am otherwise very healthy, very light, am doing enough sports and thought earlier that i would eat very healthy: no alcohol, no tobacco, no meat, lots of fruit (!!) and vegetables. You opened my eyes. Thank you very much for that.
...no meat, lots of fruit?
Lol I read it and laughed. To hell with fruit, I need steak and eggs.
Fruit is full of fructose! Yes, it has antioxidants too but his lecture did not suggest that you should eat lots of fruit.
Very positive that you abstain from alcohol & tobacco. However fruit is a culprit here as shown by Dr Lustig, they contain (with some exceptions like Avocado) fructose.
Meat, organ meat (particularly liver) and animal fat as well as grass-fed butter is your friend.
Dr. Lustig hasn’t visibly aged in nearly a decade!
Are you wearing your glasses?
I Know! I had to check the date on the video to see if it was new or not.

Fascinating!!! Thanks for posting this video.
Awesome... Work.... Thank you! Robert.. You bring a new meaning to do diligence in medical efficacy
Life saving knowledge....Thank you Dr Lustig
I love his explanations...
Brilliant - again!
Forget trying to read the labels of processed foods and sorting out what's ok.
In summary of what you can take away from this:
Buy raw vegetables, raw meats, and cook them yourself.
Don't drink any alcohol.
Don't eat any trans-fats.
Avoid corn-fed meat and fish. Wild fish, grass fed beef, etc is what you're looking for.
Also avoid protein powder.
Keep on that diet and you'll clear the fat out of your liver. And do some damn exercise while you're at it. Great lecture.
Hey can you clarify on the bit why we should avoid protein powder? Sorry I cba to listen to this whole thing (yes lazy I know but if I find summaries to these things that usually does it for me lol)
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I was going to make a summary when I suddenly thought "Maybe somebody did this already" ...😁
@@tamimhusain3376 whey protein powder, esp isolate, is the highest spiker of insulin, due to it being too much protein all at once I suppose.
@@JavierBonillaC np. Enjoy
You can also take away the fact that he is not advocating low carb eating and in fact promotes the "liberal" use of whole grains and doesn't have a problem with occasional sweet treats.
As for finding grass fed this and that? Good luck, if you can afford it.
Thanks God for this lecture!! Amazing!!

Excellent!!
Wow the man is a spitfire! I thought I was blunt as a mallet but MAN! Gotta love New York. Awesome presentation!
3 years ago they tested me at the diabetic level but didn't call it an official diabetes diagnosis, didn't pursue further testing when my number was high. A year later I was in an emergency state of health but on my own I reduced carbs a lot and in 3 weeks got off crutches and my 15 years of foot pain plantar fasciitis stopped completely to my utter joyful shock. I had no idea carbs were causing my chronic limping/crawling foot pain. My podiatrist didn't tell me food can be painfully inflammatory. My severe upper arm skin pain stopped completely and severe neck pain reduced 90%. I could play actively with our kids again!! In a few months I went to the doctor again and she said my blood glucose numbers were normal. Not in the diabetic range anymore! But I still have it bcz when I eat a bunch of carbs, several symptoms come back very quickly. It's like I'm right on the edge. As long as I eat KETO & Intermittent Fasting, I'm ok. But at least I know my limits now, but I'm upset that no one told me that potatoes or a banana can spike blood sugar as much as a candy bar. I could have prevented Diabetes entirely with a KETO & Intermittent Fasting Lifestyle all along. I eat once or twice a day instead of the 5-6 they tell you is best. And I only have insulin reactive beverages with a meal. Water or KETO beverages in between.
Most drs do not know anything about nutriction. That is not taugh in medical school. Their learining is evidence based and protocols guidelines to treat diseases the same for everybody. However, everybody is not the same; our genes makes us different. You have to advocate for your own health and become informed.
KETO - healthy keto - actually does have low carb veggies so that’ s how you ‘feed the biome”
Incredible. Sometimes hard to follow as a pedestrian, but the bottom line is very clear.
About 30 minutes on and I’m in over my head 😂
I’m sitting here in the same spot thinking “he seems to know what he’s talking about,” and waiting for the point lol
I made it 9 minutes
I bought a copy of Dr Lustig ‘ s book Fat Chance in 2014. He explains a complex subject so well, and as a top scientist backs up his work with the necessary data. Everyone should read this book. It should be compulsory for anyone studying Biology. With understanding comes hope. Eliminate the cause and there will be no symptoms to treat.
Excellent. Thank you!
Excellent presentation as usual by Dr. Listig. He is truly one of the best. Exposing the truth, thank you Dr. Lustig. 👍
You have to remember this talk is for the educated. Common people cant understand this. It is our task to explain again and again to make them understand.
When they understand the problem will solve itself.
Indeed Dr Lustig is one of the best and bravest.
Dr Lustig always sounds angry. A very passionate person regarding this problem. He must be frustrated because people just won’t listen or take action.
We all should ne just as angry for being lied to by ppl who are supposed to be guarding the publics interests not political lobby groups! Makes me dam mad!
I don’t perceive him as angry ... I feel he has the appropriate tone for what needs to be communicated to all . Thank you Dr. Lustig for this lecture .
He's mad because he's fat and people won't buy his excuses for it.

amazing presentation.
Love this guys presentations.

You know it is serious if a MD uses "DUH!!!" in his talk.
And WTF lol
For those saying that Fructose is the culprit and not sugar, the sugar that the overwhelming majority recognize as sugar is sucrose. Sucrose is glucose + fructose. The sugar found in most fruits and vegetables is also partly fructose. Again, unless referring to very rare cases, most sugar has fructose in it. Additionally, glucose also contributes to the same problem albeit 7 times slower. Hence, it is very correct to say sugar is a major factor of the metabolic syndrome.
Thank you Dr. Lustig for being an advocate/crusader of healthy food habits. I am San Francisco raised - St. Stephens grammar + Bellarmine/SJ high school.
Thank you!
Damn, I just had a Dr. Pepper too. First sugar-sweetened soda I've had in a long time... looks like it'll be my last. Now to lay off the alcohol and make sure not to eat foods that are both sugary and fatty at the same time.
Brilliance. So granular (pardon the pun) as we continue to learn the dangers of sugar and the dangers of fructose
Thank you regards. Very educative
Many will argue that sugar/food industry should be blame for this diabetic pandemic ....and they are right but just after the pharma industry who was hiding this information too.
American government is complicit!!
@@glockgrandma2517 indeed
I have been able to help many people reverse their diabetes through diet change, cutting carbs and sugar and very consistently lowering insulin resistance and blood glucose.Completely Life changing from meats, eggs, seafood and non starchy vegtables.
Lustig is not advocating "cutting carbs," quite the opposite.
Another Great Video Doctor!!!
I was today years old when I finally heard a doctor not bullshit this subject. Thanks for the facts and giving it to us straight Doc!
So brilliant! You are the best. Thank you so much.
I am from India (don’t mind my shitty english) i was diagnosed a week ago with metabolic syndrome I have nafld and small gallstone this video will help me a lot on what to do other than the treatment that my doctor has provided whether is treating it right see ya after 6 months will tell if it did work for me or not.
How'd it go?
I cut the sugar out and I feel so much better. More energy, less bloating.
Remarkable lecture Dr. Lustig. What a wonderful speaker. Thank you.
Robert Lustig, bringing expletives to medical lectures! ;-)
He seems concerned and committed to this subject matter... Look at the damage these outdated ideas are causing....It burns me up also to see these old ideas from the 70s, 80s, still be touted today...

Drug companies are making BIL$ off this and killing us also... The guy on the street corner is not the problem! It is the guy at the top of the food chain causing our problems with all their bad data. These guys will ~never concede to this because they will lose their BIL$ in income around the globe...
250txc he went to law school to prepare to take on big food like we took on big tobacco. So, I would say this is his life’s passion. IMHO, he is sexy AF
@@Galworld761 Guess he failed on tobacco but we allowed them to kill us and our family members around the entire globe

These wrong-ideas on food were all we had when the research was done in the 70s and 80s,,, It has taken all this time to look at the deaths since then to understand we were wrong and now the BIL$ food industry people are not gonna change their story and depend on peoples' ignorance to keep buying their products... And we will including politicians in office who support this pathetic way of life
@@250txc But there is so much money to be made. MD's continue to spread their view of the research but ultimately the public has to decide. In western society money rules.
@@Galworld761 Lmao "big" eh?
these speeches made me want to go back to school to be a nutritionist. Waiting for the entrance exams!
Good luck
Wow! That’s great!
That was pretty damn good, thanks.
Very good. Love the physiology.
I'm glad to hear you say bullshit. We've been sold a bill of goods for far too long.
He's Brilliant!!
He knows what he talks!!!
I just discovered him on two podcasts I watched yesterday. Plus, he helped a company in Kuwait to change food ingredients to be more healthy. He and his colleagues are on a mission to reengineer processed foods to be more healthy. They acknowledge it won’t go away because there are too many people in the world that need to be fed. This is amazing and a game changer for the future. He is dedicated. We need more Doctors like him.
I suggest to change the title to be: "Fructose a Major cause in Metabolic Syndrome"
That would be bad. Fruit is good for you, it has fructose in it. Processed sugar is what's bad for you. People need to eat fruit when it's fresh and in season.
@@hosoiarchives4858 Fruits are good for you. BUT NOT FRUCTOSE. Fructose is bad for you, even worse than "processed sugars". Fruits have fiber that prevents that fructose from being absorbed completely and that's what makes them actually healthy. If you remove the fiber from a fruit, it is just as bad, if not worse, than "processed sugars"
@@CruyffBarajas Fruit has fructose in it
PRIMARY CAUSE☕
This is also a problem for other countries such as Australia, whose Nutrition bodies readily admit to not doing proper research or even reviewing research because they do not have capacity. Instead, they state that they follow what USA nutrition councils advise. Thank you for putting this online. It is crucial information that we all need to know.
webaccess11 not quite true. Dr Felice Jacka at the Food and Mood Centre does some of the best research in the would. She’s a treasure.

Sugar was my kryptonite. Just didn't realize it was destroying me. Pushing sugary shit on the masses is a complete disrespect to the human race.
Good info. Thank you.
