Fructose, processed food, NAFLD, and changing the food system
This is an excellent interview by Peter Attia with Robert Lustig discussing fructose, processed food, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and the changing food system.
In this episode, Rob Lustig — a researcher, an expert in fructose metabolism, and a former pediatric endocrinologist — discusses what’s wrong with the current food environment, and what we can do to reduce our chances of becoming part of the obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) epidemics.
Rob recently earned a Master of Studies in Law because he believes that educating people about sugar from a scientific standpoint is only half the equation: the other half involves changing policy, which he explains in this episode.
