@RobertLustigMD says the reason you can never feel full anymore isn't willpower. It's a hormone in your body that has stopped working. Leptin is the hormone that tells your brain you've eaten enough. Insulin blocks it. And right now, almost the entire country has insulin levels so high that the "full" signal never reaches the brain. "Why is 93% of America metabolically ill? And the answer is sugar."

@RobertLustigMD says the food industry knows exactly what they're doing to us, and they knew it a long time ago. He compared them directly to the tobacco companies, and said the proof isn't a theory. It's in their own internal documents, now sitting in a 15 million document library at UCSF that anyone can access. "If the tobacco companies had blood on their hands, then the ultra processed food companies do too."

Diet drinks were sold as the healthy alternative. They aren't. @RobertLustigMD says the sweeteners in Diet Coke, Coke Zero, and every other diet drink alter your gut microbiome, cause leaky gut, and lead to insulin resistance. And after decades of studies, there's still zero evidence they help anyone lose weight. "There are no data anywhere in the world that shows consuming these drinks actually promotes weight loss. None."

@RobertLustigMD says a preschooler eating the standard school breakfast is consuming triple their entire daily sugar limit before 9 AM. Froot Loops plus orange juice equals 41 grams of sugar. The American Heart Association's limit for a child that age is 12. Nobody has even started the school day yet. And it's only breakfast. We have the data on fatty liver in four and five year olds, we know where it's coming from.

An obese child has the same quality of life as a child going through cancer chemotherapy. @RobertLustigMD has spent 45 years treating pediatric obesity. He says the idea that obese people simply choose to be that way falls apart the moment you look at newborns. Babies today weigh half a pound more than babies 25 years ago, and all of that extra weight is fat. "Newborns don't diet and exercise. How did they get obese?"

Quality of life of an obese child is the same as a child on cancer chemotherapy. Should sugar be regulated like alcohol? Do food companies have blood on their hands? @RobertLustigMD is one of the most recognized metabolic physicians in the world, and he just went on Decoded Genius to answer everything nobody in the food industry wants asked. Full episode is live now.
