More about Robert...

Robert is Professor Emeritus of Paediatrics, Division of Endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco. He specialises in the field of neuroendocrinology, treating hormonal disorders in children, and he is interested in how the brain controls hormones and how hormones control the brain. He was head of the UCSF paediatric obesity program for 17 years. Dr Lustig has fostered a global discussion of metabolic health and nutrition, exposing some of the leading myths that underlie the current pandemic of diet-related disease. He believes the food business, by pushing processed food loaded with sugar, has hacked our bodies and minds to pursue pleasure instead of happiness; fostering today’s epidemics of addiction and depression. Robert is a global best-selling author and his presentation on YouTube, Sugar, the Bitter Truth, has had 8.9 million views.

In 1972, when British scientist John Yudkin first proved that sugar was bad for our health, he was ignored by the majority of the medical profession and rubbished by the food industry. We should have heeded his warning.

1:17:01 - Some time ago I read two tips for healthy eating: 1.) Eat only foods that spoil, and 2.) Eat them before they spoil.

[haputmacatiag]

We all know what sugar does to our teeth but it's horrible knowing what it does to the rest of our bodies and now our minds. Thank you so much.

You cant buy happiness but you can buy pleasure. And there in a sentence is the major problem with our world.

I value Dr Lustig courage to voice out the issue in our health system.

Thank you Dr. Lustig! Your video Sugar the Bitter Truth helped me be determined to quit sugar. Now sugar is like poison to me. I am really glad I am totally over it.

Dr. LUSTIG is my hero. If there is any reason whatsoever to respect U.S. scientific community, Dr Lustig is that reason

"Pleasures are like poppies spread
You seize the flower, the bloom is shed
Or like the snowfall on the river
A moment white, then gone forever..."
