The True Dangers Of Sugar with Dr. Robert Lustig

This episode is brought to you by Mitopure, Rupa Health, and FOND
Bone Broth. When we take a global bird's eye view of diets around
the world, it’s clear that the Western diet makes humans sick. Any
nation that has acquired our habits of eating highly-processed
foods, rich in refined carbohydrates, fructose, and inflammatory
fats, ends up metabolically unhealthy. Metabolic health is much
more than just maintaining a healthy weight. It’s the sum of our
cardiovascular, mitochondrial, liver, gut, and hormone function—and
a poor diet impacts all of these systems for the worse. 
Today, I’m excited to talk to my friend and a physician who is an
inspiration to me, Dr. Robert Lustig, all about fixing our
metabolic health. Dr. Lustig is a neuroendocrinologist with
expertise in metabolism, obesity, and nutrition. He’s the Emeritus
Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology and a
member of the Institute for Health Policy Studies at UCSF. He is
also one of the leaders of the current “anti-sugar” movement that
is changing the food industry, in part through his game-changing
books. His latest work is Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of
Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine. This episode is
