What is Sugar by Christopher Walker

Sugars are naturally occurring carbohydrates that provide energy for the body in the form of glucose and fructose. Your brain for example, requires roughly 130 grams of glucose on a daily basis to cover the most basic energy needs. You can lose weight fast eating sugar.

The major internal organs, glands, and muscles all use glucose as their main energy source. If you deprive the body from this, it will try to make up for it by a process called gluconeogenesis, in which the body breaks down protein and fatty-acid to create glucose, do this long enough and your body goes into ketosis – which surely has some health benefits – but is also just another form of metabolic stress during glucose deprivation.

Almost all carbohydrates, starches and sugars, break down to glucose – the simplest form of sugar – after ingestion.

Although the low-carbers tried for years to confuse average people into believing that low glycemic index foods would be “it” for weight loss. Research showed time after time again that it was the total energy intake of daily calories, not the GI that is behind our ability to gain or lose weight.
The most common kinds of sugars in our diet include;
Glucose – the simplest form of sugar and the main energy provider of the cells in the body. The “blood sugar” in your veins is also glucose.
Fructose – found naturally in fruits and honey. It’s much sweeter than glucose and is metabolized in the liver instead of the gut.
Sucrose – (table sugar) is 50% fructose and 50% glucose, extracted from beets or sugar cane. Sucrose occurs naturally in vegetables and fruit.
Lactose – (milk sugar) is found in milk and dairy products. There’s also maltose, which is found in malted drinks.
The studies looking into the effects of sugar on various health parameters, often use pure fructose, pure glucose, or sucrose. In our normal daily lives, majority of the sugars we consume come in balance of ~50% glucose, ~50% fructose. The main difference between glucose and fructose, is the fact that the latter is metabolized in the liver and is more rapidly absorbed.
Some Real Health Benefits of Sugar
Due to the demonization of sugar, it may seem bit outer-worldish to claim that sugar consumption would actually have some health benefits.

Yet it does. And it makes sense.

Why would this source of energy that the body naturally prioritises be harmful for us? Why would the most easily attainable naturally occurring foods like berries and fruit (which are loaded with simple sugars) be the cause of our ever increasing weight and health problems? And lastly, why have these problems skyrocketed, all while our consumption of sugar has decreased?
I certainly don’t have the answers to all these questions, but if we start to look at the scientific evidence without any pre-existing beliefs about sugar, it becomes obvious that this stuff isn’t as bad as one would think.

There’s plenty of research showing how glucose and fructose actually negatively correlate with diabetes, and that fructose – due to the fact that it’s metabolized in the liver – doesn’t need insulin to be pushed into the cells, which is probably why higher intakes of fructose have been found to improve – yes, improve – insulin sensitivity.

Oh then what about the ever-claimed idea that sugar makes us fat?
Has anyone considered the fact that sugars are the primary fuel for the thyroid gland, and that the thyroid gland actually controls the rate at which your body burns calories, aka. metabolic rate? When you eat more simple sugars, your thyroid gland produces more T4 thyroid hormones, and with adequate sugars stored in the liver, your body can easily convert T4 into the active T3 form, which greatly improves energy production and metabolic rate.

Heck, when you lower your calories in order to lose weight, one of the most powerful compounds that can preserve metabolic rate, is in fact; fructose. It supposedly is the substance most notorious for making us gain weight, but in reality it’s pretty low in caloric content, has the ability to greatly support metabolic rate, and has a muscle sparing effect.
The liver provides about 70% of our active thyroid hormone, by converting thyroxine to T3, but it can provide this active hormone only when it has adequate glucose.
So what about fatty liver disease? That’s one of the key “evils” that fructose is blamed for.

In reality, fructose has been shown to be protective against hepatic liver problems, and when there’s adequate choline in the diet, over-feeding of fructose does not lead to fat accumulation in the liver at all. The problem of fatty-liver disease has nothing to do with fructose, and everything to do with eating too much polyunsaturated fatty-acids (which prevent exportation of liver fat) and lack of choline (which is a necessary micronutrient required in the exportation of fat from the liver).

Ive eaten over 300g of fructose a day for the last 17 years... 3.9% body fat and you can see it on my videos and my gf's body.

I just lost 40 lbs within 2 months eating LOW FAT DIET AND SUGAR popsicles and brown sugar daily. Back in the 90s we were just as gifted and talented all while eating sugar daily. I went to a performing arts school and we were all eating popsicles and push up pops and other types of sugar sources. I stopped eating sugar 3 years and got fat, I will never stop again

We have healed diabetics on sugar and rice .. it’s the sugar combined with processed oils that’s what killing us

Truth is refreshing. I have increased my sugar intake and have decreased my calorie intake. I have lost a lot of weight and feel great.

People over think and complicate diets way too much. Do what works for you. Experiment and then stick to food groups that have you performing optimally. This way you can sustain it long term. People who base their entire identity on what they eat are pathetic.

The issue lies in the combination of sugar with fat. Sugar paired with minimal or zero fat poses no concern. Similarly, in a Keto diet, a high-fat, low-protein approach is acceptable, but when sugar enters the equation, complications arise.

Hey Chris, can you do me a favor and help me out understanding if sugar depletes the body of certain nutrients minerals? I've heard this happens because at the expense of nutrients, sugar raises the metabolism. Isnt this a good thing, so long as we replace what we lost one way or the other?

Animal foods and animal fats are the problem, especially for type 2 diabetes. Our brains and muscles crave sugar in any form, table sugar, fruit, rice, pasta, potatoes etc. Animal fats block our cell receptors so that the insulin can’t transport the sugars into the cells to be utilized. When a type 2 diabetic goes vegan, it takes a few days or a week of not eating fats or animal fats for the insulin to start working properly again. Fruits and sugar and vegetables and starches are the human body’s number 1 choice for nutrition.

Thanks for the video Chris. I never bought into the whole "sugar is the devil" hype anyway. As you mention, glucose is the primary fuel of the brain. Of course I never believed all the low-fat crap either. Common sense is such a rare and precious commodity in a society where people want to be told what, when and how instead of thinking for themselves. With some basic knowledge, common sense and personal experience we should all be able to make good decisions for our own health and wellbeing.

I'm looking into this because I've noticed that I was my skinniest when I was having the most carbs and sugars, and it didn't make any sense to me... I've also noticed that when I have more sugar, I dont eat as much overall. Not refined sugars mind you, I mean cane sugar, fruits, honey...

One thing I've learned while on a year long deep dive into human nutrition... take scientific nutrition studies with a grain of salt. So many are biased by those funding them. I'm a biochemistry graduate, and I've been losing faith in medical science and nutrition studies since being on the carnivore diet... my blood work is spot on, inflammation non-existent, losing tons of weight, feel freaking amazing!

Great video, but I wouldn't use bodybuilders as an example for anything. We all know they consume more than just food.

Excellent points, in addition to that, the next time somebody tries to tell you that sugar is "addictive", ask them if they went out and bought a bag of granulated sugar and ate a teaspoon of it would they just not be able to stop eating it until they ate the whole bag? Or does that sound kind of gross? That might hopefully change their perspective🤔

I like how your videos trigger the vegan or the keto depending on which one of their dogmatism is debunked...and how defending sugars is interpreted by vegans as eating only sugary foods is ok and by ketos as hell in the earth 😂

After much research, this Thermo Diet is the most optimal diet. I follow Dr. Ray Peat, I liked the Vertical Diet but I'm not a body builder. This is far more comprehensive. Bravo Chris.

Anyone who thinks sugar is bad or makes you fat should go watch some of Durianrider’s videos. He literally lives on sugar and carbs, and his health is on point (which he periodically proves with bloodwork results).

Hi Christopher! Thanks for another informative video. Could you go over the differences in hormonal changes between water fasting for extended periods (10-20 days) and the keto diet? I know they will likely share some of the negative hormonal changes, but based on my research so far complete fasting has fewer negative hormonal changes and more positive changes in the body, even though they both put the body in a ketonic state. I'd love to hear your take on this!

I'd also love to hear your recommendations for supplements you recommend for someone to take with the water during an extended water fast, such as salt and capsaicin. I did a 34 hour dry fast several weeks ago and really enjoyed the end result feelings of the chemical changes happening in response inside my body. So I plan on doing an extended water fast at the beginning of next year after all the holiday eating and bulking.

I have recently implemented several suggestions you make in your videos - like eating more blueberries, pineapple, more mono- and olive oil, less poly- and corn oil, and more potatoes - and I already feel more alert, more anabolic, more fat burning and strength building, and more...clean. So thanks for your valuable videos and information. I'd love to see you address multiple facets of fasting if you get the chance.

Maybe it depends on the reaction of your body to sugar. I avoid eating food with too much sugar for maybe 5 months now and I feel better than ever

Christopher, you legend! You are the second person i have seen on youtube that recommends sugar and explains it to a tee! Society is so naive and believes things without logic.This is not garbage this is factual evidence! Good on you going against the status quo. Legendary thumbs up! 👍
