One of the most informative and logical explanations of obesity… ADHD… Alzheimers
Wow! I will be watching this multiple times. Thank you so much Dr Johnston!!

[CaptainSteve]

Just watched this for the 3rd time and I'm still finding new nuggets. Amazing lecture.

Underpinning the reasons for minimising the intake of processed foods, fruit, sugar drinks, alcohol and fries. Salt we need in appropriate quantities, insufficiently leads to cardiac arrhythmias and renal failure.

[samanthamccarthy]

What an awesome explanation of the mechanisms at work in all these diseases (well, some of them anyway!)

[billrener]

Fascinating! And loaded with so much important information! Thank you, Doctor. Thank you, LCC.

[boanthun]

Can someone please show this video to Paul Saladino. I think he would need to see it. ASAP.

[sparklemotion]

This should be required watching for any medical person or nutritionist

[wocket]

What we now need is the link to high linoleic acid diets. Is there one?

[anjaplazoniccoulson]

Every lecture or interview with dr. Johnson is a treat! Thank you!!

[CashMoneyMoore]

Great presentation, glad to hear Dr Johnson's contributions to the field

[BigSlimyBlob]

Interesting. We knew fructose was awful, but to know that our bodies produce it if we consume both aggressive carbs and salt (and let's face it, most people do) changes things.
Really glad I don't eat carbs anymore.

[zenzane]

A lot of new [and depressing] information to me. He really connects a lot of previously unconnected dots.

[smthB]

I wonder if the salt intake matters in the absence of insulin resistance and thus hyperinsulinaemia? Anyone who has dropped their insulin levels through low carb and or fasting will have noticed the dramatic salt and water loss, and indeed low carb/keto experts usually advise increasing salt intake once the low insulin levels are established.

[mikeward]

Perhaps rather than "metabolic syndrome" or "fat storage syndrome" we should call it "energy storage system". Does this include metabolism slowing? Across all body systems (except conversions to and storage of fats)?

[zhilahaghbin]

Thanks so much, new perspective and update information, very exciting and informative.

[wocket]

Now I understand why maybe processed meat is causing issues and shows up in studies. It's not the meat, but the high salt in the processed meat in conjunction with a high carb diet. Which would mean it's "okay" on a zero carb diet with low stable glucose levels.

[christopherellis]

Carbs ( starches, sugars, including cellulose, alcohols, excluding cholesterol) are not a necessary part of the human diet.

[bobcocampo]

What is the effect of fructose with kidney disease

[JOKing-kujg]

Why no discussion of galactose, as this sugar disaccharides (maltose) is the main stimulation of hunger !!!

[ClassicJukeboxBand]

Johnson is one of the only people who get obesity. It's an evolutionary survival mechanism, like all animals. We gain fat to survive, and we evolved this. Fructose is the main cause.
