01. Harry Lustig - Sugar - The Bitter Truth.
Robert H. Lustig, MD, UCSF Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology, explores the damage caused by sugary foods. He argues that fructose (too much) and fiber (not enough) appear to be cornerstones of the obesity epidemic through their effects on insulin. Recorded on 05/26/2009

Soda consumption has been declining in the US since 2000 even though obesity rates, heart disease rates, diabetes rates keep increasing
It's CALORIE consumption (increasing portion sizes offered by our restaurants and grocery markets) that's the problem and why the US obesity epidemic is exacerbated every year
Caloric intake not sugar intake is the biggest culprit of the American obesity epidemic
I had watched this video myself a few years back but it's been enjoyable to re-watch this years later. I still have a ways to go to wean myself off of fruit juice drinks but I'm headed there. I've been overweight my whole life, mostly because my mother just didn't know any better. I drank very unhealthy amounts of Kool-Aid growing up only to finally stop in my late 20s when I had a friend of mine send me a video from Info Wars regarding the ingredients in our food and how said food is made. I've gradually concluded to what is healthiest for me and actually satiates my hunger and properly nourishes my body. I will still occasionally have some fruit juice but I need to either keep that drink separate from my meals or omit it entirely.
Things like corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup and artificial sweeteners are absolutely out of the question. They're already done tons of damage to me during my childhood and young adult years- my days of ingesting those poisons are over. Like I said I still have my weaknesses- occasional wheat and fruit juice consumption still happen (the fruit juice is as is with no added sugar), but they definitely do not make up the core of my diet.
