I made this short 4 min video with only one simple objective - to raise awareness of the different types of sugars one might find in the packaged foods.This video does not cover in depth the science, including the metabolism of, the different sugars, it was not my intention nor was it possible with this short video.

I note from the comments that there are some who do not see the point of this video nor find it useful. I take your feedback and will try to improve for my future videos.

To those who have found it useful, I'm glad and am encouraged. Thank you.

I apologise that I am not able to reply to individual comments - mainly because there are just too many across all my videos in all my different social media platforms.

Blessings
Dr Chan

Good job helping these people Chan, you broke it down well, and easily understandable.

[Pure_Love_Channel]

Many thanks, Dr. Chan. I'm embarking on a journey of developing awareness and encouraging people to give up soft drinks, sweets and processed food. It would be useful if you could make videos supporting this idea. Many thanks in advance.

Your body makes glucose in the absence of carbohydrates. It’s called gluconeogenesis. Your body is smart and nose that it needs it. Since we only hold about 5 g in our blood system at one time, the extra is stored in the liver and in the fat cells. It definitely affects the mitochondria and cancer loves the extra sugar.
