  I've read Dd. Lustig's books, and, have researched the "controversy" surrounding him in some circles. This much I know: before I ever heard of this individual, I dropped sugar 100%, and all of my electrolytes, blood pressure, all lipid panel values immediately crashed well into the "normal" range after many years of being highly obese--and did so within weeks. So, as to the controversy, I view Dr. Lustig as follows: he may be right for the right reasons, and he may be right for the wrong reasons, but, make no mistake, he. is. right.

  I call it a grocery cart problem. When I get to the checkout I &nbsp;see that 90% of the carts are full to the top with stuff that shocks the living smell out of me. I honestly don&apos;t understand how anybody in this smart world with such easy access to stoves and pots and pans along with fresh, raw healthy food to indulge in, and yet the shoppers love their 24 packs of soda pop, beer, chips, dips, packaged white flour breakfast lunch and dinner crap. &nbsp;My cart has a small fresh farm in it! <br><br> I&apos;m 82, weigh 115 pounds. On no meds. I can walk all day, dance all night and run a small business. I am one in a million and it&apos;s very lonely. <br><br>Junk-food addicts just love the acceptance they get from loving brand names and their junk food-induced doctor-visit games. Doctors approve of your sick appetites. I wish I were wrong. But they&apos;re all on meds and I&apos;m not. So there you go! So sad..

  This presentation was like reading a great mystery novel where the narrator of the story leads the reader through many twists to the final outcome. <br>What are my take-aways? <br>1. Eliminate all added sugar.<br>2. Eliminate all processed, packaged, and refined foods.<br>3. Eat whole foods.<br>4. Eat grass-fed ruminant meat.<br>5. Eat wild salmon and sardines (high in omega 3).<br>6. Eat more Whole Foods rich in fiber.<br>7. Time restricted eating through fasting (autophagy).

  Excellent. I’m a nurse and I feel so bad that people give in to taking insulin for diabetes. I also learned how cancer is fed by sugar. Fasting is curing some people with these ailments. This brings a lot of understanding. Good job.

  Another great talk from Dr. Lustig. <br>When I was in Toronto, I volunteered at The Stop community food garden. We would wheelbarrow over huge bins of fresh food to the food bank nearby once a week and the lineup would be down the street. People were so excited to get fresh food because they simply could not afford to get it elsewhere. Some of them were homeless and didn&apos;t have access to refrigerators. It was a bittersweet feeling to be providing nutrient dense fresh good picked within a few hours in a &quot;food dessert&quot; located within a massive, expensive city. Some of these folks get the rest of their groceries from variety stores and gas stations. massive changes are desperately needed.

  Wish I could give 10 &quot;likes&quot;. Phenomenal lecture! Wish all my patients would listen to it, as well as the doctors I work with! (I&apos;m a registered dietitian).
