Dr Lustig's info IS science based. You may be following the disinformation put out by the food industry that makes billions on selling processed food with sugar. learn for yourself what is the function of sugar in your diet??? Metabolic syndrome is caused by the breakdown of cell function from too much glucose in the blood stream. Sugar is that source. Just because you ENJOY sugar doesn't make it healthy! Sugar has the dopamine effect in the brain just like many drugs. sugar has no beneficial function in your body.
