One distinction - in your next posts you mimic Lustig's "evidence" of sugar being bad, by stating that it has the same dopamine effect as cocaine and alcohol. This is true. So does "eating things that have no sugar, but that you personally really love to eat." So does hugging a friend. So does watching a video of kittens. In other words - Lustig is saying "See that? YEAH - that is proof that sugar is bad for you!" and science says "if that's true, then so is hugging friends and watching videos of kittens." |
I am going to listen to all of this, but just from the few bits I listened to this guy is dead wrong. It's the verbiage he uses. For instance, it is well understood that the sugar in fruit is mediated somewhat because the fiber slows the insulin response and you don't have that glucose spike. So when this guy claims that Lustig was wrong in fiber mitigating the absorbtion of fructose (he misquoted Lustig by saying "inhibits the absorption, that's now what Lustig said), he is flat out wrong.
Listening to more and Layne doesn't understand metabolic disease. By the way, I cut out sugar and went keto and in 4 weeks I dropped 30 lbs and cured my pre-diabetes (5.7 down to 5.2 A1C).
