I beg to differ!!! Every cell in our body run on glucose...anything you put in that does not provide glucose will make your body try really hard to convert that substance and make it into stored glycogen!!! Just look at all the fruitarians!!! No calorie counting needed!!!
This was an awesome synopsis! I have sent Dr. Lustig's lecture along to so many people, and now I will send your simplified version along, too. Thank you.
Thanks, I could not have got this without your clear presentation using the bullet points. I've watched Sugar, the Bitter Truth a dozen times and was somewhat prepared, but your presentation nailed it so I get it. Keep up the good work.
@Rixtertrader lol I know right, I felt like someone who hasn't taken a biochemistry class would have no idea what he is talking about but he broke it down really well
@BunderaKZT So what, he sell supplements, big deal. Why exactly do you have a problem with that? You don't have to buy from him. I don't see a problem with people providing great information and having links to their website for products that they sell. Big companies as well as small companies do it. Internet marketiers do it. What the problem? Are you jealous? When it comes down to it, everyone is a salesman whether directly or indirectly in a capitalist society.
@BunderaKZT I fail to see the issue here. Is your logic that those who put together info vids should not be able to support their efforts? I watched a few of his vids and only got good info, not a commercial. So why should anyone care whether he has a business in the same field for which he teaches about? I'd be more concerned if he was teaching this stuff and and working at McDonald's selling Big Macs. People got to work guy. Might as well work at something YOU BELIEVE IN. Yeah? Cheers!
@tregglekid His video isn't an advertisement to sell supplements. The video itself provides information. He provides a link to his website above if you click "show more", but so what. Why do you people have a problem with that? The fact that he has a website that includes products for sell doesn't mean that the information in this video isn't credible. Would you say the same thing about marketing guru Eban Pagan who gives great info, but also sells products? You are probably jealous and biased
@tregglekid yeah you're completely right tregglekid, because of the fact that he sells a nutritional supplement it makes everything he just said invalid.(I'm using sarcasm and since you're not very smart I'm letting you know that) What he is talking about is called SCIENCE, something that you probably don't understand. I know he uses a lot of big words so I wouldn't expect you to understand this video...just keep counting calories and hopefully you'll eventually get heart disease.
@andrychowiczmeli the old bury my head in the sand until someone says what I want to hear method of science huh. Wouldnt it be wiser to listen to people who spend their lives researching things, rather than trying to belittle them without having done any research yourself are we still living in the dark ages. Oh and BTW, it is strongly believed gen Y is going to be the first generation that will live shorter lives than their parents due to obesity and other lifestyle choices.
Very good but missing a critical point besides how fiber ties up fructose in whole fruit as mentioned by someone else. Fructose doesn't suppress the hunger hormone ghrelin and doesn't use the insulin pathway at all which are the main reasons it is bad for us. It is the body's use of insulin that triggers the production of the hormone leptin; leptin tells our brain we've eaten. That means we consume more when we eat fructose so that we store fat in all the ways you and Dr. Lustig mention.
this is SO FUCKING IMPORTANT. makes lights and spotlights and searchlights go off in your head.
Someone who is rich like bill gates, or the owner of the mavricks or something should buy a tv spot and promote this video. With you in it. You spoke perfectly, it flowed, it was easy to understand. And you were confident in what you were saying... confidence comes from knowing wtf you are talking about.
I'm kind of looking at high fructose corn syrup as a poison now. I'm scared of it.
Thank you for making this video. The other one was so long I wasn't going to watch it. But I think I will now because you have given me a starting point toward understanding it ahead of time and maybe I can make it through the whole thing now!
I think you left out the practical implications of what he was talking about: remove sugar-sweetened beverages like juice and soda and stick to water or milk. Also, his quote about G-d packaging the poison with the antidote which explains why fruit is okay because you're eating the carbohydrate with the fiber... and the benefits of fiber. "Fructose can't be so bad if it's in fruit!!" is the main counterpoint to Lustig's video among those with short attention spans. Excellent work!!!
Fantastic summary. Thanks for your abridged version. Every time I watch Dr. Lustig's video I get a new insight. What landed heavily for me is that our brain has no fructose molecule "off switch". This is from way back from when we were cave people and sugar sources consisted of the rare berry bush in the wild. Now that sugar is so abundant, we're eating more and it's converted directly to fat. Makes sense that we're getting fatter and sicker.
Congratulations for a job well done! I watched Lustig's lecture and you nailed the essence of it. Still, anyone whose really interested in getting a handle on this should watch Lustig's complete version. Also, if you're too short on time to watch Lustig's lecture from the start, fast forward to one hour, nine minutes and take notes (the last 20 minutes of the tape) on exactly what dietary rules you should follow.
Very nicely done. May I suggest you do another video of this even shorter? It may help reach those with A.D.D which you know is as an epidemic as obesity is.
I was teaching just like you....first law of thermodynamics......until I saw Dr. Lustig's video. Oh.my.goodness. My eyes were opened! Thank you for condensing this so that others can see what is going on. I still will recommend the long version, but for the people who will not sit for 90 minutes, your version is great. Thanks again.
@MysticalSurferDude Don't listen to him. What you're eating is awesome. It's very close to what my Chinese family eats. I eat tons of fruit and even make smoothies and juices, yet I don't have "diabetes." Our bodies run on glucose and carbs are the best source. Top sources of carbs listed in efficiency: Fruit, rice/pasta, potatoes
@MysticalSurferDude They aren't talking about fruit & complex carbohydrates as bad. They are talking about FRUCTOSE & high fructose corn syrup. Sucrose (like white sugar) = 1/2 Glucose (good because 80% is used by the muscles & organs of the body) + 1/2 Fructose (bad, because 0% is used by muscles & organs, 100% goes to liver to be detoxified & it produces uric acid & citrate & most is stored as fat as well as helping to create insulin resistance)
@MysticalSurferDude Its the amount of sugar/glucose/fructose that is key. Eating small portions of complex carbs like the sources you mentioned should be perfectly healthy. A small amount of carbohydrates is important to have a balanced diet and receive the benefits of phytonutrients (antioxidants, fiber, vitamins, minerals, etc.). However, try to get most of your calories from protein and fat. Aim to get full mainly off of foods that are dense in protein and/or unsaturated fat.
Fascinating! I started eating clean and organic on the 1st and have dropped 10 pounds and gained tons of muscle with a daily workout regimen. Never will I go back to that crap. It was killing me. Earlier this year, my blood pressure at 22 years young was 147/87 and RHR was 86bpm. In the month of eating clean at 23 now, my bp is 134/71 and RHR dropped to 60bpm. Anecdotal evidence, but proof nonetheless at what that crap does to us.
Although much of what you said is true, you implied that ALL fructose is covered into fat instead of glucose, which is simply not true.
"Most fructose is converted to glucose in the liver."
-Rosie Dhaliwal, Registered Dietitian at SFU (Note: If you Google the quote above, you can find a short article article Rosie wrote that tells the WHOLE truth (both good and bad) about fructose vs. glucose).
when you consume too much acid forming foods it takes calcium from bones and teeth to buffer the acids. check out the many sources of information about what foods are acid forming. get on a high alkaline diet of greens and ripe fruits
Sean, what's you opinion on fruit because of it's fructose content? I have eliminated all unnatural sugary foods, even juices, but I have been eating much more fruit and blended fruit smoothies every morning. I have heart heart condition that I'm trying to cure, but I'm fearing that these fruit smoothies are even bad.
Also is there a way to lower the GI of foods? I heard fat does, so I've been putting coconut oil and milk in my smoothies, will this help enough?
You did a fabulous job! I listened to the full lecture and you were spot on! Check out what a 19th century writer had to say about it all. Her book entitled - Counsel on Diet and Food. It's amazing to note that she knew way back then the same thing your sharing now. Also check out CHIP the coronary heart improvement project. Blessings and peace!
sounds like a bunch of bullshit. where are ur scientific experiments? where are all the fat people you cured with your "method"
ask yourself this question. if this guy is correct and found the holy grail to fixing fat people, why is he not on national TV promoting this and on scientific journals?
@ggreedyjew Just because you did not understand it does not mean it is not true. I learned about metabolism and ATP in college in the 1970s. This guy is right.
@ggreedyjew Have you watched the 90 minute lecture by Dr. Lustig? If you haven't, then shut the hell up before you open your mouth. He's summarizing a 1.5 hour lecture into 11 minutes. Of course he's skipping the sources, it's not his findings. He's relaying the message that Prof. Lustig has already relayed. Watch the original before you open your mouth.
@ggreedyjew his name is Underground Wellness for a reason..these videos are indeed underground "non-mainstream media" if you follow thru his other videos, you can see how much research he does on his videos...
me i get a large mc donalds coffee with 9 creams & 9 sugars
or at truck stops i get a 24oz coffee i pour of ton of cream & atleats 3 teaspoons of sugar, and i get 2 or 3 energy drinks for later and the next day....
@shannondangc you're probably insulin sensitive, and its ok to eat natural fruit because it has alot of fiber, checked the ammount of fiber in a can of coke lately? or a glass of healthy OJ??
Wicked video man - I've watched the full lecture version a couple of times and it's been great, but I've never been that good at taking info in over a prolonged lesson.. This was gold.
Mr. Croxton, how can I show my gratitude for the videos you have made for us over the years? Do you take donations, or simply follow through with purchasing your e-book? You are outstanding.Thank you.
So how much is OK? How much is toxic? 30g, 50g? How many tablespoons is that? Your explanation is clear, and clear that Americans have gone past the safe level, but not clear about how much is safe. If glucose is good, what are some good glucose foods? Whole grains?
I follow pretty much a whole food diet, so my fructose comes pretty much just from fruits. would you recommend not eating stuff like grapes and raisins, as they have more sugar than most other fruits?
Sean.. please next time u have dr.Lusting on your radio show.. eh could u ask him how much he got paid by Novo Nordisk and Novartis to do his presentation?? thanks buddy!!
Summary of "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" (for those of you who couldn't make it through the full 90 minutes): thechoiceillusion.blogspot.com/2011/10/sugar-sugar-sugar-i-love-sugar.html
Well Sean if u check out Dr.Ray Peat website u might find a very different Idea about sugar.. @AdellazCoilz No Such thing as good or bad cholesterol!! Gotta inform yourself a bit deeper..
Thanks for the vid! I watched the original vid, too but I don't have time to rewatch it so that I can write my essay for tomorrow. Great summary. Thanks.
Thx for the shortened version, I watched 30 min of the original, but I was hearing a lot of things I already knew, this was simple.
I have been laying off sugar/fructose lately and if I do ever drink/eat something with fructose I can actually feel the negative effects. If we would LISTEN to our bodies and not let ourselves be fooled, we would all be a lot healthier.
Great job making a 'Cliff's Notes' to the 'Sugar: The Bitter Truth' video. You took some of the more complicated parts (which I had watched twice) and made them easier to comprehend.
Also, I largely cut out sugar from my diet when I saw Dr. Lustig's video 5 months ago, and my blood pressure went down 22 points and I am now back in the normal range. At the 8:00 mark, you explain why my blood pressure went down. I'd never been told that sugar caused high blood pressure, just salt and fat. Thx!
Fruit has a low amount of sugar in comparison to foods that are manufactured and have added sugar. They have much higher counts with bad sugars. Fruit = good
SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME! If you eat 8 servings of fruit a day is that bad? is the fructose from eating apples, bananas, and oranges bad? that would be hard to believe. Or is the fructose only bad when its found in juice drinks, or soft drinks, or when its in the form of high fructose corn syrup? If someone could please explain it would be appreciated.
@Sumen91 Fruit is fine because the fructose is metabolized along with fiber (so drinking soda and eating bread is not going to cut it). The fiber helps along with the digestion and prevents insulin levels from getting high, so you feel full, and less fructose is metabolized as fat (the fiber moves some fructose into the colon instead, where colon bacteria breaks up the fructose fat into short chain fatty acids, which is actually good).
@Sumen91 Juice, soft drinks, and high fructose corn syrup are all the same in terms of negative effect. Keep in mind, however, that all good foods will produce some of the negative effects of high fructose corn syrup. The problem is HOW MUCH negative effect. Sugarcane has hella sugar but it doesn't kill you because its a stick in terms of fiber, there's so much fiber you can't chew it!
@Sumen91 So yeah, that's his general idea, and so fructose sucks, but eating fiber (orange over orange juice) and exercise helps. But who knows, maybe twenty years later we'll learn more. : )
@Sumen91 : Whole fruit is fine, eat as much as you want. If you watch the video "Sugar: The bitter truth" he explains why fruit is okay. Basically the fiber in fruit is the antidote to the fructose and your body can process it safely. Also the quantity is smaller.
Juice is another story. The fructose has been separated from the fiber and the fructose in apple juice, orange juice, etc (even if it is pure fruit juice) behaves essentially the same way high fructose corn syrup does in soda.
@blueconversechucks Well that's wrong. The body still has problems processing the fructose in fruits, and it's still wise to avoid it. All the fiber does is slow the absorption, not remove the danger and damage to the liver
@electrictroy2010 True, but fruits have a lot of nutritional benefits too such as vitamins and antioxidants. Just make sure to take fruit in moderation so that your fructose levels aren't too high. If you exercise, the fructose is actually really good at repleting glycogen stores which get depleted during intense exercise which is why sports drinks have a lot of HFCS in them.
Robert Lustig is correct that not all calories follow the same metabolic pathways and fat isn’t to blame for the obesity epidemic. He does, however, make a host of other errors and over embellishes the negative effects of fructose in the modern diet.
You’re doing exactly what everyone should be doing by using the information given to you, but I suggest you don’t stop at Lustig. De Novo Lipogenesis is not something to worry about assuming the First Law of Thermodynamics and a normal diet.

Superb spelling, well done for getting "adolescents" correct ! That really scratched my "spell it right" itch, and it was beautifully explained too, I didn't fall asleep in the middle like with Dr Lustig. ;-)
Brilliant summary. I just watched the 90 minute lecture, and you've summarised it so well. Worth watching full lecture too, goes into interesting stuff about why the US government is not interested in regulating the junk food industry or educating about the dangers of sucrose, fructose, HFCS.
5 years ago I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure I was in the heart transplant clinic and at one time they had me on 9 different medications and it wasn't bringing my BP down that is when I decided to go all natural now I gained a lot of energy back but I continue to sweat a lot have no energy it wasn't until a week ago after I ate 2 bags of Bit-O-Honeys that it hit me my breathing became labored very weak . after seeing this video I believe my heart problems have always been the sugar
@betterfindit the sugar in fruit is fine bc it is packaged with fiber. When you process it and remove the fiber you are left with just the sugar which is when it is considered a poison. I watched the entire 90 min lecture and he never said to not eat fruit. Sean never said that either.
@TEpro125 No, fruits are not bad because they are packaged with fibre which is good for you, and other things.
So the liver handles the fructose better when packaged with the fibre. It's the juice by itself with the fibre removed that isn't so good. Go ahead and eat fruit - but everything in moderation.
@TEpro125 What Dr. Lustig says is "Sugar is a poison" but the corollary is "God packaged the poison with the antidote: Fiber" He gives the example of sugar cane and sugar beets (what most sucrose is made from) they are SUPER fibrous. HFCS comes from corn which is also really high in fiber. Just like fruit itself has a lot of fiber. It's only when we process this stuff that's it's not good for us. Take out the fiber and it's poison.
Thank you so much for this video. I've just seen the looong version of Dr. Lustig and although it was very interesting I didn't quite get everything. Maybe because I'm dutch and I need to translate everything in my head. But this video is very clear and the way you speak is easy to understand.
I've been scared off sugar for life now. I had already stopped putting sugar in my coffee and drinking fizzy drinks but now I'm literally scared of it.
I don't think I could have summarized Dr. Lustig's talk any better. I have watched Dr. Lustig's video about 7 times now and still like it. I realize others cannot sit through something that long. Personally, I think all of the detail he shares is fantastic. But, you are doing a great job to distill it down for those who are short on time or attention span.
@fabmd8 hey PLEASE! let me ask u. maltodextrin is glucose once in the blood. its a complex carb that supposedly goes straight to the liver 1st. dextrose is a simple carb that is glucose straight to the blood stream. This reverses my understanding of simple and complex. Im a bodybuilder i want to gain weight but the healthy way. what are ur thoughts??
@thallious9876 Avoid processed food additives like maltodextrin, etc. If you want to gain more healthy weight, then add a good 400-500 calories/day of protein such as steak, chicken, etc. Or, you can have some organic almond butter spread on flax seed crackers a few times per day if you don't eat meat. Gob it on to get enough protein.
Thank you so much for this short version. I watched the long version a couple years ago, and while it is is informative, it is also long and dry. I have not been able to get many friends to watch it.
Sugar addiction is due to chronic neurotransmitter deficiencies. The solution is a 100% pure amino acids supplement (i.e. no fillers, no additives, no sugar/stevia, and manufactured at very low heat). Such a product is called AMINOKIT Recovery Formula and can end sugar cravings in 24 hours. The above product has been used in drug rehab centers for 15 years to end cravings for not only refined sugar but cocaine, heroin, alcohol, and other drugs. Avoid sugar and achieve fast, healthy weight loss.
This guy is on this shit and explains it well. Good freeking job. Yet, he is a little off about Sugar just like HFCS, liver processes HFCS differently as a free radical.
"... The fructose in HFCS is a strand called D-fructose, while the strand that was most common in our diet in the past and in fruits is L-fructose...."
Use fruit as a stimulant prior to workouts, otherwise imo stay away from it.

Although much of what you said is true, you implied that ALL fructose is covered into fat instead of glucose, which is simply not true.
"Most fructose is converted to glucose in the liver."
-Rosie Dhaliwal, Registered Dietitian at SFU (Note: If you Google the quote above, you can find a short article article Rosie wrote that tells the WHOLE truth (both good and bad) about fructose vs. glucose).

Sean, what's you opinion on fruit because of it's fructose content? I have eliminated all unnatural sugary foods, even juices, but I have been eating much more fruit and blended fruit smoothies every morning. I have heart heart condition that I'm trying to cure, but I'm fearing that these fruit smoothies are even bad.
Also is there a way to lower the GI of foods? I heard fat does, so I've been putting coconut oil and milk in my smoothies, will this help enough?

Great job making a 'Cliff's Notes' to the 'Sugar: The Bitter Truth' video. You took some of the more complicated parts (which I had watched twice) and made them easier to comprehend.
Also, I largely cut out sugar from my diet when I saw Dr. Lustig's video 5 months ago, and my blood pressure went down 22 points and I am now back in the normal range. At the 8:00 mark, you explain why my blood pressure went down. I'd never been told that sugar caused high blood pressure, just salt and fat. Thx!

David1010321 5 months ago
@Sumen91 Fruit is fine because the fructose is metabolized along with fiber (so drinking soda and eating bread is not going to cut it). The fiber helps along with the digestion and prevents insulin levels from getting high, so you feel full, and less fructose is metabolized as fat (the fiber moves some fructose into the colon instead, where colon bacteria breaks up the fructose fat into short chain fatty acids, which is actually good).
snowpeach12 5 months ago
@Sumen91 Plus, when you eat fruit, you eat less fructose. According to Lustig (long video) that's why juice is bad--no fiber.
snowpeach12 5 months ago
@Sumen91 Juice, soft drinks, and high fructose corn syrup are all the same in terms of negative effect. Keep in mind, however, that all good foods will produce some of the negative effects of high fructose corn syrup. The problem is HOW MUCH negative effect. Sugarcane has hella sugar but it doesn't kill you because its a stick in terms of fiber, there's so much fiber you can't chew it!
snowpeach12 5 months ago
@Sumen91 So yeah, that's his general idea, and so fructose sucks, but eating fiber (orange over orange juice) and exercise helps. But who knows, maybe twenty years later we'll learn more. : )
snowpeach12 5 months ago
@Sumen91 : Whole fruit is fine, eat as much as you want. If you watch the video "Sugar: The bitter truth" he explains why fruit is okay. Basically the fiber in fruit is the antidote to the fructose and your body can process it safely. Also the quantity is smaller.
Juice is another story. The fructose has been separated from the fiber and the fructose in apple juice, orange juice, etc (even if it is pure fruit juice) behaves essentially the same way high fructose corn syrup does in soda.
blueconversechucks 5 months ago
@blueconversechucks Well that's wrong. The body still has problems processing the fructose in fruits, and it's still wise to avoid it. All the fiber does is slow the absorption, not remove the danger and damage to the liver
.
electrictroy2010 5 months ago
@electrictroy2010 True, but fruits have a lot of nutritional benefits too such as vitamins and antioxidants. Just make sure to take fruit in moderation so that your fructose levels aren't too high. If you exercise, the fructose is actually really good at repleting glycogen stores which get depleted during intense exercise which is why sports drinks have a lot of HFCS in them.

Robert Lustig is correct that not all calories follow the same metabolic pathways and fat isn’t to blame for the obesity epidemic. He does, however, make a host of other errors and over embellishes the negative effects of fructose in the modern diet.
You’re doing exactly what everyone should be doing by using the information given to you, but I suggest you don’t stop at Lustig. De Novo Lipogenesis is not something to worry about assuming the First Law of Thermodynamics and a normal diet.

@betterfindit the sugar in fruit is fine bc it is packaged with fiber. When you process it and remove the fiber you are left with just the sugar which is when it is considered a poison. I watched the entire 90 min lecture and he never said to not eat fruit. Sean never said that either.

@TEpro125 No, fruits are not bad because they are packaged with fibre which is good for you, and other things.
So the liver handles the fructose better when packaged with the fibre. It's the juice by itself with the fibre removed that isn't so good. Go ahead and eat fruit - but everything in moderation.

@TEpro125 What Dr. Lustig says is "Sugar is a poison" but the corollary is "God packaged the poison with the antidote: Fiber" He gives the example of sugar cane and sugar beets (what most sucrose is made from) they are SUPER fibrous. HFCS comes from corn which is also really high in fiber. Just like fruit itself has a lot of fiber. It's only when we process this stuff that's it's not good for us. Take out the fiber and it's poison.

Sugar addiction is due to chronic neurotransmitter deficiencies. The solution is a 100% pure amino acids supplement (i.e. no fillers, no additives, no sugar/stevia, and manufactured at very low heat). Such a product is called AMINOKIT Recovery Formula and can end sugar cravings in 24 hours. The above product has been used in drug rehab centers for 15 years to end cravings for not only refined sugar but cocaine, heroin, alcohol, and other drugs.
