The Harmful Effects of Sugar, Dr Robert Lustig
YouTube Video
Lets take a look at some statistics pointed out by Dr. Robert Lustig:
- In the past 25 years the average American’s weight has increased a pound per year resulting in a 25lb total.
- This coincides with adding 200-300 kcal/day to the average nutritional intake.
- On average, a diet that increased around 250kcal in the past 25 years would be made up of an increase of 210kcal from carbohydrates, and only 40kcal from fat, which is equal to 4 grams of fat and a whopping 52 grams of carbohydrates.
- From this we can see that the huge increase in weight gain and metabolic disease correlates directly to a large increase in the consumption of carbohydrates, many of which have been from various forms of sugar.
