Coronavirus Pandemic Update 83: High Fructose, Vitamin D, & Oxidative Stress in COVID-19

Oxidative stress may play a key role in the severity of COVID-19 infection. A variety of studies have demonstrated how high sugar intake (and fructose in particular - such as high fructose corn syrup) contributes not only to oxidative stress but to the inactivation of a usable form of vitamin D as well. Join Dr. Seheult for illustrations of how these pathways work.

HFCS is cheap, the corn farmers are subsidized, and we've known for YEARS that it causes obesity and blood sugar problems, but MONEY talks louder than health.

[janlange]

Absolutely brilliant how you pull together all the requisite studies that set up the logic trail for these theories. Thank you for teaching this so clearly.

[CarolPorter]

I believe that high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is sufficiently well-known to be bad for us, so that food processors now call it by other names on the labels. Watch out if fructose is in the ingredient list in any form. "Natural sweeteners" may also be suspect.

MedCram videos should be required material in high school.

I rely on Vitamin Seheult to keep me healthy!

[Mloungesound]

You at Medcram are a great part of our daily lives dealing with the current pandemic in a constructive and reassuring way, all through understandable and reliable high quality information provided by Dr. Seheult, a true blessing. Thanks

I love these videos. I feel that regularity watching them has helped me to get through these difficult times. I feel more assured and comfortable listening to Dr Seheult’s advice and opinion concerning this virus, how it works and how to approach it from a layperson’s point of view. I wish more people would listen to these rather than the fear mongering and misinformation presented by the mainstream media. Some people have very uninformed opinions which then dictates their behaviour. I believe, as a society, we need to focus on preventative measures, getting right back to the basics of eating well-thank you very much Dr Seheult, and others. So thankful I happened upon these videos-I feel like they are a hidden gem!

[BAMortimer]

For about 10 years I have believed that we are being intentionally sickened WITH HFCS by the food industry, with FDA complicity. There is no way that they don't know about the dangers of HFCS.

[robklein]

I always look at videos like these with a sceptical eye. Many videos like these make assumptions that are invalid. Not so with MedCram. All information and conclusions are accurately and rationally presented. Am a non-American who visits USA often, I am always amazed at the enormous consumption of soda-pop and the enormous size of many americans compared to other countries. I have commented to my wife on several occasions "if they only would drink water instead of soda they would be healthier and slimmer". And now we know also healthier bones and higher vitamin D levels as well...

[PinkAmadeus]

This video should be nominated for excellence. Thank you again for the knowledge!

[mememo]

Really appreciate your logical, reasoned approach.

[امةًوسطًا-ظع]

You have an amazing ability to put things together. I always thought we as a nation will do poorly with COVID 19 due to obesity and now I know why. Off course this all theoretical however it’s very logical. Even if all these associations with COVID 19 ended up to be untrue, I gained a great deal of knowledge. For all that, I am forever grateful.
Thank you

[lawrencetanner]

Doc Seheult, I just love listening to your lucid, informative presentations. Haven't caught them all, but I'm always glad I spent the time to listen to you. Stay well, good doctor. We are grateful for your contribution to our struggle against this virus. Your voice of reason, presenting complicated interactions of nutrients, enzymes, and compounds in the human body, is always calming, somehow. Thanks. A million thanks.

[webangel]

Fascinating. My home country, Guyana, used to produce cane sugar as a main industry. The industry collapsed when the US corn producers successfully lobbied the US government to drastically cut imports of cane sugar. When US obesity started to dramatically increase, many of us speculated that replacing cane sugar with HFCS seems to coincide with the obesity increase. The paper you showed in this video appears to support this view.

[LupeCoded]

Extremely informative, Doctor. Thank you for this detailed presentation.

[roymclemore]

I like how you say "welcome to another..." at the start of these. Make me feel right at home. @medcram

[maryprantephd]

Sounds like high time to acquire a healthy life-style. Thx, Dr. S, for yet another clear and informative session!

[puntabachata]

Two of my friends have had good results with taking NAC, D3, magnesium, quercetin and zinc. After 7-10 days of suffering, they mentioned their suffering., Within 2-3 days these vitamins and minerals resolved their issues of persistant cough, body aches, diahrrea, etc.

[marynguyen]

You are brilliant ! You, as a doctor, but are willing to look outside of conventional western medicine which only treats diseases, but more importantly you want to prevent them by helping people with the right knowledge to get to the root causes of many chronic as well as acute ( covid!) diseases, that is metabolic health! Please keep up your lectures, those should be watched by not only ordinary people, but more importantly by mainstream doctors, who should relearn and change their thinking paradigms. Thank you!
