video: sugar: the bitter truth
Presentation by Robert H. Lustig, M D
Review:
This was a very informative chemistry lesson on the harmful of effects of sugar. In this presentation I learned that Fructose is processed by the liver and that it produes VLDL bad cholesterol and lowers HDL good cholesterol. I learned that sugar cause chronic disease in the same way that acholol, ethanol causes acute disease. Fructose toxin is linked to hypertension aka strokes, type two diabetes and obesity which is linked to breast cancer. I learned that the way nature designed fructose to be diagested was to be packaged with high fiber, like fruits in vegatables in nature. I also learned that fructose gets stored in the body as fat! This is why atkins and south beach have a good message and warning people to watch their carb intake!
The presentation approaches th study of fructose from a historical, political and chemical aspect! Worth watching.
