    Ya sorry i meant ‘macro’ nutrient, point is ‘sugar’, ‘protein’, and ‘fat’ are necessary of course, but always come second to vitamins and minerals.

    And yes i agree with that second part, though ‘sugar’ (any form) at certain points esp in the beginning of diabetes (depending on severity of course) still has to be avoided or reduced, that includes high sugared fruits as well unfortunately, otherwise, until you get it under control, ‘natural’ is the way to go.

  2. Clyde Rembrandt says:

    Actually there are two types of nutrients — macro and micro. Sugar (carbohydrate) is a macro nutrient. The other two macronutrients are protein and fat. The micro-nutrients are vitamins and minerals.

    Actually, diabetics have reversed their condition on high carbohydrate (low fat) diets of whole foods (not junk foods). Fat consumption causes insulin resistance. Intramyocellular fat prevents insulin from transporting sugar from the blood into the cells where it will be used for fuel.

  3. Whyrweherereally says:

    Your exactly correct about the fiber issue there, fruits are fine as i said, there are good sugars, and bad ones, and mixes of both. however diabetics and people with clinical intolerance to sugar in general need to avoid even fruits obviously, unfortunately.

    I should mention sugar is a ‘micro-nutrient’ tho, not a ‘nutrient’.

  4. Clyde Rembrandt says:

    Sure, everyone knows (or should know) junk food is not health food. But, some folks will avoid fruits, which are not junk foods, because fruits are full of fructose and other sugars.

    I’d guess that HFCS is a problem because, unlike fruits and starchy vegetables, it contains no fiber, vitamins or minerals and is usually mixed with other refined junk food ingredients and chemicals.

  5. Whyrweherereally says:

    This title is a little off

  6. Whyrweherereally says:

    ‘Glucose’ is a natural sugar, basically the energy of life itself, and is fine, ‘Fructose’ more so the HFCS type, is basically a poison.

    Go ahead and eat your fruits, yams, rice and potatoes they contain natural amounts of fructose and carbs that are fine for you. Its soda and the over processed sweets etc that you need to avoid.

  7. Clyde Rembrandt says:

    Well, I don’t propose that people should increase their risk of death merely because they fall for low carb scams, work with toxic substances, don’t have smoke detectors ….  I also don’t propose that people should stop using condoms for the sake of “survival” instead of conceiving children out of love.

  8. Ralph Cleethorpes says:

    Good. Survival of the fittest, and all that.

  9. Clyde Rembrandt says:

    WTF? Sugar is a nutrient. I’m not giving up my fruits, yams, rice, and potatoes anytime soon.

  13. ZenYahwehFitness1 says:

    The people of our planet need to educate themselves from quality sources with solid research, as to aid in making better & wiser choices to combat the obesity epidemic and stop food addiction before it starts in our children. We must lead by example as best we can and in turn change society & food production as a norm, or as out there as it may seem humans could become as incopassitated and blindly dependant as the human characters in teh WALL*E movie. Was there a follow up Vid. to this reseach?

  14. ProHealthProLife says:

    Right, it can be extremely hard to stay disciplined and avoid eating sugar. But it’s worth your time and energy. YOU may want to watch my video on sugar detox tips.

  17. SSJkiller says:

    What she said about the impact of alcohol isnr necessarily true. Taking supplements like milk thistle and antioxidants, as well as exercising and drinking water can greatly speed up the detox and recovery of the liver.

    Its a bit wrong to give “no hope” messages like this. Otherwise its a decent presentation.

  18. directorbeau says:

    can’t give up the sugar?

  19. R2Mintus says:

    More like a Chinese Alicia Silverstone.

  20. Tchoucouti says:

    Not mentionning Dr. Lustig for the metabolism pathways is poor. Like her presentation skills. Just listen Dr. Douglas Lisle on the Pleasure Trap to understand the psychological part of food disorders. Poor science too for the simplistic correlation of McDo in Frane.
