Today I'm asking you to take 20 minutes and listen to this interview with Dr. Robert Lustig and Dr. Chatterjee, on the subject of sugar.

Dr. Robert Lustig was one of the very first physicians to sound the alarm on High Fructose Corn Syrup. The food industry was not happy and fought back.
At that time, they only had correlation, not causation.
Correlation is when two variables appear to change in sync. For example, one might decrease as the other increases or vice versa. Causation means one variable directly influences another—for instance, one variable increases because the other decreases.
In statistics, correlation expresses the degree to which two variables change with one another, but it doesn’t indicate that one variable is causing the other’s change. Testing and analysis confirm whether two variables are merely correlated or have a cause-and-effect relationship.
To his credit, he kept sounding the alarm bells and proved, through clinical studies, the correlation.
In this video, Dr. Lustig explains how sugar damages the body.
Sugar is not a nutrient.
Based on the definition of food, it's also not a food.; material consisting essentially of protein, carbohydrate, and fat used in the body of an organism to sustain growth, repair, and vital processes and to furnish energy.
