yeah, but this guy is a scientist and a professor, and talking about the general population.not bbuilders,lol.
hes not some random lifestyle trainer who appeared on oprah show, or in a lifestyle magazine.
he made couiple very layman term explanations which are true and explain alot.
how anyone couldnt see the problem with sugary drinks beeing one of the main reasons for the genral overweight issues is beyond me.so many ppl have their coke,or the smartasses who think they make smart and healthy choice,a fruit juice with every meal, or randomly between meals, this adds up.slowly but surely.
he even went as far and said hfcs is ok for athletes at certain times.
honestly,i dont see anything wrong with what he said.
i wouldnt just post a video of something random i came across, let alone start a thread.i think its really worth it,truthful and the best i came across.
atleast for me,it answered many question ive always wondered about.
even the guy who tried to "debunk" his claims and calls him an "alarmist"
agrees on the most important points.
he didnt dare to refute the claim about how hfcs and sugar are metabolised,i guess that is, bc dr lustig is spot on on that matter.
if one understands that one point itself, he will knoiw how bad sugar is and when(sugar wont do shit to a trainer with depleted glucose stores for example)and it kills the "calorie is calorie"misleading bullshit claim.
thats precisely what the prof said too.its there to spice up the flavor and cover the sugar somewhat.
Sugar is the main ingredient in Caramel. Ever eat a caramel that is not sweet? He is just digging up shit trying to sound like some skeptic.
Also I get it that he is a prof. But if he believed in the devil so much then he should at least be ripped by avoiding these toxins.
Overall the reason that people who indulge these high amounts of sugars are also indulging in everything else hence the reason they are fat.
Jay Cutler has admitted to having a Coke after workouts for the sugar. he certainly isn't some fat pig.
Ever see these fat pigs at McDonalds order 2000 calorie meals with a Diet Coke? Shouldn't they be lean since they are not ingesting the Fructose in Coke?
I would like to see a diet done like this.
1000 calories of protein + 1000 calories of fat per day vs. 1000 calories or protein + 1000 calories of sugar and see at then if the person put on weight or lost weight.
