Attributes of Fat Chance Beating the Odds PDF

The landmark New York Times best seller that reveals how the explosion of sugar in our diets has created an obesity epidemic, and what we can do to save ourselves.Fat Chance Beating the Odds PDF

Robert Lustig is at the forefront of war against sugar — showing us that it’s toxic, it’s addictive, and it’s everywhere because the food companies want it to be. His 90-minute YouTube video “Sugar: The Bitter Truth” has been viewed more than 7 million times. Now, in this landmark book, he documents the science and the politics that have led to personal misery and public crisis — the pandemic of obesity and chronic disease–over the last thirty years.

In the late 1970s, when the U.S. government declared that we needed to get the fat out of our diets, the food industry responded by pumping in more sugar to make food more palatable (and more salable), and by removing the fiber to make food last longer on the shelf. The result has been a perfect storm for our health, disastrously altering our biochemistry to make us think we’re starving, drive our eating habits out of our control, and turn us into couch potatoes. If we cannot control how we eat, it’s because of the catastrophic excess of sugar in our diet–the resulting hormonal imbalances have rewired our brains!

To help us lose weight and recover our health, Lustig presents strategies we can each use to readjust the key hormones that regulate hunger, reward, and stress, as well as societal strategies to improve the health of the next generation. With scientific rigor and even a little humor, Fat Chance categorically proves that “a calorie is not a calorie,” and takes that knowledge to its logical conclusion–an overhaul of the global food system.

Sugar => Toxic Addiction => Chronic Diseases
September 6, 2018

This is witty and well-grounded attack on the source of our epidemic of chronic diseases: Sugar, especially high fructose corn syrup. Lustig is a medical doctor who treats obese children. His business is booming because sugar is now in 80% of our processed foods, especially the fructose in sodas that is making so many of us fat, setting us up for “metabolic syndrome” (= insulin resistance) and the diseases that follow (diabetes, heart attacks and strokes, likely even dementia and cancer). Sometimes these are called the diseases of civilization, but for most people come from modern industrial agriculture, with its emphasis on processing, adding sugar, and removing fiber.
Lustig is also well versed on public policy and on the PR plays of the food / drug / medical industries. He demonstrates that our behavior is grounded in our biochemistry; it’s not just a matter of will power. He knows that big changes in public policy (pulling diet out of the industry-controlled USDA, classifying sugar and fructose as addictive and dangerous, stopping subsidies for sugar and corn, promotion of a science-based diet, etc.) will be needed to change course. Yet he knows that these won’t happen without a big public outcry. Meanwhile he suggests that we start small with things like a soda tax (on sugary beverages) and restricting youth access and marketing (just as for alcohol).
The one area where Lustig is behind the times is fat. He cites the pluses and minuses of several popular diets but not the ketogenic diet, which I and many others are now following easily and with great success. This super low carb / high fat diet is the ultimate answer to insulin resistance and the resulting obesity, inflammation, and disease. The only sticking point for Lustig, apparently, is the high fat part, despite fat being the food most prized by most of our hunter-gatherer ancestors. Instead Lustig is very vague on where our calories are supposed to come from, as long as it’s not sugar or processed food. To understand how our bodies were designed to metabolize fats via ketones, instead of glucose, read Phinney & Volek, or Cummins and Gerber. The traditional Innuit, for example, had virtually no carbs in their diet, yet were extraordinarily healthy compared to today’s chronic diseases, giving the lie to the USDA dietary recommendations and the like.
Nevertheless, Lustig is a true hero to us who are challenging the corruption and dietary dogmas of the food / drug / medical establishment.

Everything you need to know to change your diet permanently, and love it!

Dr. Lustig, I saw your lectures online, and read Fat Chance several times. I gave up processed foods last May, and have lost 50 pounds, so far, on a WFPB diet. No exercise, except that I’m raising my grandchildren, haha. My labs are great. I had no chronic disease, but suspected i was pre-pre-diabetic. I feel much better, and the pain in my hands and feet went away.
I love that you come straight to the point all the time. You explain the hacking of our biochemistry by the food industry clearly. I continue to watch your lectures, because there is so little truth about food out there.
I get it. You have established your case. What’s important now is getting the information out. I and my cousin(kidney transplant) tell everyone we can about your info. I think “more studies” takes a backseat to taking action on what we already know.
If my cousin and I hadn’t seen your lectures, she might be dead(she lost 100 pounds). Yours are among the few lectures i can’t find anything to disagree with(I have a science degree). So, thank you for bringing this to the public. But I’ve watched everything you have on youtube several times. I hope you continue to post your new lectures on youtube. We also watch several other lecturers, such as Dr Campbell(China Study) and a few others, to bolster our efforts. It really helps!
