I’m addressing half of the podcast titled Unbiased science crossover from January 31 2024. They rip apart Dr. Lustig who was a guest on the Huberman Podcasr. I have only heard him talk once and it was on that particular podcast they are trashing. It was basically on the harmful affects of sugar and sugar substitutes. First, they make fun of the way he says fructose. They then claim his “radical views” (that sugar is the main culprit to obesity and diabetic pandemic) might keep people from enjoying foods and be interpreted that all fructose is bad and make people think that fruits and vegetables are not good for you and reduce peoples fiber intake because people aren’t eating enough fruits and vegetables.

This was the only time I heard Dr Lustig speak but I can tell you that he emphasized the importance of everything that this particular podcast and group of doctors was bashing him for. I think they heard what
They wanted to hear and not what he said. In summary, he said allowing yourself to enjoy foods and moderation is key. He said fiber is what separates eating fruits and vegetables from junk foods or soda. He actually said “glucose does everything inside the body” or cells and even feeds the gut microbiome. His emphasis was that the American diet is overloaded with glucose or substitutes and we are all getting an excess.

My point is, they are going out of their way to completely bash a fellow endocrinologist and are completely slaughtering what he actually
said. Just a little surprising and seems for self serving than anything.

I’m a doctor who treats patients with obesity and I appreciate this informative podcast and especially how much fun these two brothers have doing it. I wish I could have a podcast with my brother. It’s particularly hilarious how regretful they are about being so morally scrupulous for not getting any money from pharma.
