I'm sure this has been posted. I'm sure all the zealots here trashed it. But I just wanted to let the people who actually can think see it.

    Without watching the video as I'm at work, I'm going to assume it is stating sugar = the cause of being fat?

    Its sugar indirectly causing the fat

    Some people cant control themselves when it comes to sugar, so it tends to be a trigger food to make them eat more

    Exercise is not present, or even if exercise is present they are still in excess for their total energy

    Glycogen then builds up as excess energy in their bodies

    thus making them fat

    sugar = devil = fat people = excessive amount of sugar is eval threads = annoyed Fitbeto = not going on the message boards as often

    Just about sums it up. And I didn't watch it.

    Appreciate it. Sugar is not the culprit. Bust your *kitten* in the gym, stop making excuses for pigging out, be diligent with tracking your cals/macros = results. End of story.

    Sugar has also been linked to Cancer.....and even Alzheimers (which tbh worries me more than getting fat from it). :/
    I'm really trying hard to cut down on foods containing Sugar,... but it ain't easy.

    Well "her" is a him and a quick search will show you that this topic comes up in some form every day. Mulitple times per day. This is one of 2 threads that were started within an hour of each other.

    This is all you really need to know:

    Not even going to watch the video, going to speak from personal experience. It depends on the person I believe. I can eat whatever I want and as long as I stay within my calorie range can still lose weight. I absolutely find it amusing when I come across forms that are bashing cereals because they are "high in sugar". How about you measure out the serving size and only eat that instead of filling the whole damn bowl? I'm going to go have a cup of hot tea now AND use 60 calories worth of real sugar ;)

    Then don't overconsume it. See LolBroScience's comments above. Simple

    Wow. Just watch the video. You don't have to believe it. It's not some 13 year old in his parent's basement acting like an expert. The guy is a PhD and he did all his work with a team of PhDs in fields such as medicine, endocrinology, biochemistry and nutritianal science. He actually explains a lot of it in detail.

    I don't care what the research states. I eat sugar. I get my yearly physical and my health markets steadily improve every time. My bodyfat is low, and i would consider myself to have an above average physique, but not perfect.

    Put in the work and you will get results its that simple.

    I'm half way through the video, and my main beef is that sugar drinks don't make people drink them and drink too much of them.

    It is very interesting though, and worth a look.

    Studies have shown that 100% of people who get cancer and Alzheimers have consumed dihydrogen monoxide.

    Anything is the enemy if you overeat it. Fat. Sugar. Fiber. Vitamin A. Whatever. You can find demons everywhere if you look hard enough.

    I don't need that kind of crazy in my life. I will continue to eat sugar. Not enough to hurt myself, but enough to keep life enjoyable.

    Now that's what I'm talking about. I nice rebuttal to Lustig's arguments. Although, it seemed very bias (even bitter at times) and he misrepresents Lustig's arguments a few times. I do like the part about how sedentary lifestyles have increased. Very well sourced as well.

    At least it is sort of in the right direction of a mature adult discussion.

    More please.
