Whenever I see someone demonizing one food group or nutrient I immediately stop listening. The human body is way too complex to suggest that one nutrient alone is the cause of all the health problems in the US. He actually had the audacity to claim that eating less calories and exercising more will not result in weight loss.

its not the SUGAR we find in nature its the HFCS thats in most crap now a days. it is still worth watching thats for sure.

yes, there's no doubt that sugar is a serious health issue, but it's one of many things wrong with the american diet. It's not very scientific to think that getting rid of sugar will cure our ills.

I think you have to remember that he's talking to uneducated people that unknowingly eat way to much sugar, HFCS, processed foods and the like. Is it over the top? maybe. But, after years of being told fat is the enemy and people believing it, maybe going a little over the top is what needed to cut the bullshit that fat and only fat is what's keeping the average person obese.

Putting out a lecture on insulin going into precise detail on controlling it and it will go so far over the head of the average person it'll just be dismissed as scientific mumbo jumbo.

From what I've heard HFCS is no worse than regular sugar, your body can't tell the difference really. Also I'm sure we consumed plenty of sugar in early times from fruits etc.

Lol at this guy .... "diet and exercise don't work", "I know I'm overweight, I know everything there is to know about this and I can't get my weight down". Typical fat person excuses, the average person's lack of dedication disgusts me. Every guy here knows how to manipulate their diet and we've all been successful at dropping bodyfat at will, some people even into single digits. Dude's in denial
