Robert Lustig: Sugar Is Poison in Diet

Robert Lustig is Professor of Clinical Pediatrics, in the Division of Endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine. In 2009, he gave a lecture called "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" in which he argued that:

• Excessive consumption of sugar is the main reason that the numbers of obese and diabetic Americans have skyrocketed in the past 30 years.
• Sugar and high-fructose corn syrup, because of the unique way in which we metabolize fructose and at the levels we now consume it, cause fat to accumulate in our livers followed by insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome, and so trigger the process that leads to heart disease, diabetes and obesity.
• You are more likely to get cancer if you’re obese or diabetic than if you’re not, and you’re more likely to get cancer if you have metabolic syndrome than if you don’t.
• A high-fructose intake consisting of soft drinks, sweetened juices or bakery products can increase the risk of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases.
• Cancer researchers now consider that the problem with insulin resistance is that it leads us to secrete more insulin, and insulin actually promotes tumor growth.
• Sugar has unique characteristics, specifically in the way the human body metabolizes the fructose in it, that make it uniquely harmful.
• Hepatic fructose metabolisum leads to all the manisfestations of the Metabolic Syndrome: hypertension, de novo lipogenesis, dyslipidemia, and hepatic steatosis, inflammation, hepatic insulin resistance, obesity, CNS leptin resistance promoting continuous consumption.
• Fructose ingestion interferes with obesity intervention.
• Fructose is a chronic toxin.

Usage Notes

If you want to reduce refined sugar from your diet or increase your fiber consumption, this food finder searchable sugar and fiber database will help you identify foods with the optimal sugar and fiber contents.

• Sugar and fiber contents are in grams and calculated per 100g of food.
• This sugar and fiber database contains approximately 7,000 most common food items.
• We also provide a special Fructose Counter that contains the specific fructose content of foods. This Fructose Counter is combined with the Sucrose and Glucose Counter and has fructose content of approximately 500 common foods.
• Click on column header to sort foods by name or by fiber or total sugar content.
• Pie chart shows relative contributions to total calories from carbohydrate, protein and fat (and alcohol, if exists).
