What Sugar ACTUALLY Does to the Body

If everything i learned on youtube could be turned into college credits I'd have a PhD by now.

What he didn't talk about was that added sugars, especially high-fructose corn syrup, are more readily stored as fat in the liver itself leading to fatty liver disease, they produce AGEs (Advanced Glycation End Products) which directly damage cells, and they cause a systemic inflammation response resulting in vessel damage and many other disorders. It's excess refined sugar and HFCS that actually cause many of the heart and vascular conditions blamed on dietary cholesterol. Cholesterol is a vital substance which your body actually needs and literally produces on its own. But when excess sugar damages your vessels, cholesterol is part of the body's attempts to fix the problem. When you keep your body in a constant state of inflammation, cholesterol builds up and can result in atherosclerosis, heart damage, etc.

Oh dear, sugar was my only vice left. No alcohol, no cigarettes, no salty yummy chips now no chocolates cakes cookies. Still going to sugar my tea and coffee... great information, thank you, I'll expect a card on my 100th birthday in 36yrs

I love all the things this channel lacks - chiefly politics, fear mongering, pandering, chastising, copy content, click-bait, and manipulation in general. Just solid, honest, objective facts. I watch, listen, and learn, and that is time well-spent. Thank you for this channel! ❤️

Dont ever stop making these videos, people can learn so many things with these videos keep it up great work!

Thank you so much for this. When I was diagnosed with T2 Diabetes 3 years ago at 32 years old, I was told that it's a degenerative disease. But I've been able to reverse it through exercise before meal, intermittent fasting and a low carb diet. May you live a long healthy life to keep eucating the masses and removing misinformation about the human body. Thank you

For those who has type 2 diabetes. I'll give you a suggestion based on research and personal experience. Cut out all the carbohydrates, startch, and sugars like bread, tortillas, etc. Don't drink any sugary drinks or add any sugar to coffee. I have revered my diabetes in 8 months from 400 to 95. No medication.

Well done for telling people that sugar isn't bad so long as you dont take excessive amounts of it and get plenty of exercise. I'm 85 and have consumed a kilo every 6 or 7 weeks throughout my life except during the war when it was rationed, and it has done me no harm. I take it mainly in my tea and burn it off with exercise, so it doesn't make me gain weight. I can still wear the same clothes now that I wore 60 years ago. I dont have any medical conditions to complicate the issue. I go for a 4 mile run once a week and do plenty of walking. Fruit and veg is an important part of my diet.

As a type 2 diabetic I’m so glad I came across this video!!! It explained so much more than my dr has ever explained!!! Thank you for giving me things I can & will do to change my body!!!!

When my Dad diagnosed with cancer my Dad removed sugar in his diet. According to studies sugar is the no.1 food of cancer to grow now my Dad is cancer survivor ❤🙏🏻

I had hives on my upper arms for 30-40 YEARS! If I didn’t scratch myself bloody during the day, I did it while sleeping. There were nights I itched so bad that I never slept. I went to every doctor I could think of general practice, neurologist, allergist, dermatologist, on an on. I was put on Gabapentin which caused weight gain, and I was totally miserable. One day a chiropractor told me the scars on my arms looked like her mothers, and her mother stopped eating sugar for a week and a half, and all the hives went away. Done!

These guys make content that SHOULD be taught everywhere around the world in every school. I feel like I would've loved to have all this information back when I was 13 or 14. Decisions would be so different for every person's life with this knowledge. Anatomy is 100x more important than religion or business classes at school, yet we are taught that crap instead of what really matters. (I'm from Colombia btw)

I'm addict to chemical substances. In baby steps I'm quiting one by one. Now I'm working on sugar. And honestly, it's harder then alcohol.

The conclusion to every video I’ve realized is basically exercise is the most important thing for overall health

I did a test on myself, no sugar and carbs ..only boiled vegetables and salads, grilled or boiled meat I like meat😊, boiled eggs , cheese sometimes , fruits that contain less sugar I know is hard but try to avoid,and the most important and not many people know about that is the home made pickle cabbage or you can buy in any East European shop try get the one that came in plastic bag or big container (I am Romanian and we do that at home )I drink one glass of that juice every day and I also make pickle cabbage salad with virgin olive oil ( see the Italian brand that dr Berg uses)and pepper I noticed my BP went down by a lot, energy level skyrocketed, your gut will function properly your bowel movement will improve a lot, oh yeah i exercise every day for 2 hours so you should start doing it slowly it’s a big step

Really great, informative video! I learned a lot of this in a GenEd nutrition class last semester. A couple of my best takeaways are "You don't need to count calories, just make calories count" meaning avoid empty calories and the "double edged sword of malnutrition", or the tendency to consume too many calories and not enough vitamins, minerals, etc. And the other is "self control is really self care" meaning we make better decisions when we're really taking care of our bodies and not stressing them out, pushing them to their survival instincts. Take care of yourselves friends! I'm hoping the beat for you

This is by far the best explanation about this subject that Ihave ever seen. It is clear, concise and embeds all the individual pieces of information in an overall context. I feel like I got the best value for the 17: 30 minutes I spent of my lifetime. You have earned a subscription and I am looking forward to see more classes in the same quality level in the future. 👍

This is such an excellent video, thank you!! I knew eating an orange was better than eating a donut, but I never really knew why. Your explanation about how processed sugar is problematic due to how easy it is to consume way too much of it really makes sense to me. Thanks again!

Great video, can relate to this, living  with an incurable disease is so hard, but you just have to live life day by day as it goes by (Cancer sucks)'

I’m so appreciative of how informative these videos are & that you’ve made them accessible to those of us who are not medical personnel or research scientists. Thank you!
