When you consume fructose- say a ounce coca-cola- that fructose is all ending up in the liver. The liver cannot handle the load and the liver has no choice but to take that excess fructose and turn it into liver fat.
Ever wondered why sugar seems to be public enemy number one when it comes to weight gain? In this episode of The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast, Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen sit down with Dr. Robert Lustig, a seasoned pediatric endocrinologist, to break down the complex relationship between fructose and our health. Dr. Lustig dives into his research on how fructose impacts liver function and contributes to the growing obesity epidemic.
He explains that when we consume fructose, like in a can of soda, it all gets processed by the liver, which then struggles to cope and converts the excess into liver fat. This fascinating discussion doesn't just stop at fructose; it delves into how our biochemistry plays a crucial role in our overall health. Dr. Lustig also sheds light on the corporate shenanigans that have made sugar a staple in our diets, fueling the obesity crisis.
If you're curious about the hidden dangers of sugar and want to understand how it affects your body, this episode is a must-listen.
