Weight Loss Surgery May Not Combat Diabetes Long-Term
Robert Lustigs Sugar: The Bitter Truth lecture
Fructose in fruit is OK as long as its eaten in normal amounts. Dr. Lustig is on the warpath about any kind of processed fructose including table sugar. "Fructose is ethanol without the buzz." Fructose can be toxic to your liver like ethanol. It uses many of the same metabolic pathways. It screws up normal hormonal "feedback" loops that tells your brain that you hve eaten enough carbohydrates, especially glucose.
If you haven't seen it, set aside 90 minutes and watch it. It's certainly the best Youtube I have ever seen.

Thanks for the link to Robert Lustig’s lecture. It makes me happy I went on a low-carb diet. Also, the next time some doctor tells me to eat less and exercise more, I’m going to hand him a copy of that link.
