252: The bitter truth about sugar

<p>We all know by now that sugar can lead to weight gain and cavities. But there is a lot about how sugar operates that we may not have realized before. The truth is that it ages us on the inside and out (causing wrinkles, for example). It shortens our lifespan. It leads to many modern diseases rooted in mitochondrial and metabolic dysfunction. </p> <p>Dr. Robert Lustig, endocrinologist, professor, and author, explains just how serious the situation is, on today's podcast. He uncovers the problem of hidden sugars in our food and how it weakens our immune system, making us vulnerable to sickness. He offers numerous suggestions for how to reduce our exposure to sugar and what to eat in its place.</p> <p>Visit Robert's website: <a href="https://robertlustig.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">robertlustig.com</a></p> <p>Check out our sponsors: <a href= "https://ancestralsupplements.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Ancestral Supplements</a> and <a href= "https://www.greenpasture.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Green Pasture</a></p> <p>Order a WAPF shopping guide <a href= "https://secure.westonaprice.org/CVWEB_WESTON/cgi-bin/msascartdll.dll/ProductInfo?productcd=SG20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>. </p> <p> </p>
