And no, sugar or "sucrose" is almost exactly the same as HFCS. Many companies have switched back, but it doesn't matter. A molecule of sucrose is made from a molecule of glucose bound to a molecule of fructose (aka 50/50). HFCS is made of 55% fructose, 45% glucose. They're pretty close to identical.

I will definitely repost. From it I have two questions: 1) What is your opinion on diet soda? There is no sugar, fructose, or sucrose in it, but I can only assume it is still unhealthy? 2) I tried looking in the store today on the ingredients in cookies, cakes, etc and surprisingly didn't find the words "fructose" on very many of the packages. What other key words should I be looking for? And does this mean a cookie made with sugar is "better" than a cookie made with high fructose corn syrup? Thank you in advance for helping me try to figure out this healthy thing! :) Fantastic video, thank you!! I will definitely repost. From it I have two questions:

If I were you I would eliminate everything that could possible affect insulin resistance, including low GI carbohydrates, until your symptoms are resolved. At that point you can try adding back low GI carbs and see if it is problematic. That is indeed the question.

I have metabolic syndrome and Dr Lustig's explanation of what happens in the liver really helped me to understand what's going on in my body. My question is: If I stop eating sugar and stick only to high fibre glucose foods (ie. low GI carbohydrates) can the insulin resistance and the fatty liver (and therefore the metabolic syndrome) be reversed?

Darya, thank you for posting the presentation by Dr. Lustig on your blog. i will share it with my family and friends, and come back to you for more valuable information. Bravo!

Amazing. I just wish it were simpler to educate people and help them make better choices. So I just got around to finishing the whole lecture. Amazing.
