A quote from Dr. Lustig that I never forgot ……
“Any food that is linked to a television commercial should not be consumed.” Brilliantly said, and a great boundary to put in place.

[PaulaJaneWNBFPro]

It’s simple - eat real food; sleep; move your body; have positive social interactions; hydrate; give thanks. The end.

50:16 "I'm a pediatrician. My job is to take care of children. Children are vulnerable in the same way minorities are vulnerable, in the same way prisoners are vulnerable. They need a voice. My job is to give every kid a shot." This made me shed a tear. So many doctors are focused on managing the symptoms and not solving the problem. Thank you for your work and for this amazing episode!!

When my daughter was diagnosed with brainstem glioma as a young child, I did as much research as I could on cancer, neurology, and diet. I identified glucose as a serious threat to her survival and we changed our way of eating. We were fortunate to have her enjoying life for 20 years. I do believe nutrition did contribute to her extended life span.

Thank you for this conversation.
As a pre med student, Harvard, I met with the department head of Nutrition at the School of Medicine, telling him that it was a conflict of interest that he was the head of the department, yet was also on the sugar board.
I was promptly asked to leave his office.
That eye opening meeting resulted in my life-long dedication to educating others of how to achieve vitality and health radiance through diet and lifestyle.
The next year I started a health teaching museum with other talented professionals who believed that young children were the target audience for health information.
I am pleased to see that I have lived long enough to see an entire generation of health professionals who are brave and audacious enough to whistle blow in response to food crimes against humanity.
Well done, gentlemen!

[MarieMcneill-xsrc]

Absolutely criminal what the food industry has gotten away with and still does to this day.

[averiemaddox]

I wish Dr. Lustig would narrate his books. His passion comes through and he has a pleasant voice.

[panaceiasuberes]

This man together with DR Jason Fung are saints. They saved my life and kept me healthy ever since I've quit sugar and got on track with fasting.

[xanthemartin]

I am a 48 year old with Cerebral Palsy. I have been ambulatory since age 4. When I consume even the tiniest amount of sugar (less than a teaspoon), I experience paralysis. I can't move my arms or legs and my speech, which is otherwise completely normal becomes very impaired. We make all of our food from scratch now and I don't have a problem.

[wiltshirerider]

Stephen I discovered this Doctor 3 yrs ago after my GP told me I was pre diabetic. 3 yrs on my blood levels are completely normal and everyone tells me how good I look recently. This man should be on every TV in the world but the food industry is trying to shut him up. Follow his work and you will change your life like he has changed mine. Stuart J 59 year old male uk

The only thing that downregulates serotonin (happiness) is dopamine (pleasure): the more pleasure you seek, the more unhappy you get

[vbj]

"The more pleasure you seek, the more unhappy you get". This is a testament to the fact that we live in a societal malaise.

[Treetop]

I’m on day 114 no sugar no carbs. Now no joint pain. I almost can’t believe how I’m feeling now.

[sicilianr]

Was 280 about two months ago and finally said enough was enough and got back to eating good like I did before kids. Meat, eggs, water.. not much else. 237 this morning and still going with ease.

[devakideraymond]

I am an addict to sugar since infancy (70 yrs) and have been waiting to hear this very conversation for 50 of them.
Thank you 🙏

Where the hell is the health industry? They don’t care about you. They are out of business if you are healthy. Love Dr. Lustig.

[kathygann]

I had severe hives for 30-40 years on my arms. I went to many many doctors with no improvement. If I could use enough ice to prevent myself from scratching myself bloody during the day, I would do it at night. Finally, a chiropractor said that her mother had scars on her arms like mine, and that she had stopped eating sugar for a week and a half and the hives had gone away. Done! After decades and decades of going to doctors, and thousands of dollars, gone.

You are absolutely not disliked, you are liked. You saved me and hopefully a lot of others, to do a much more happy, energetic and awesome life. Thank you Dr. Lustig
