Your Diet Impacts Risk of Diabetes and Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Nearly 40 million Americans are on prescription drugs for blood sugar and diabetes, yet extensive research by Dr. Robert Lustig ( Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology at University of California, San Francisco) shows that we cannot "medicate" our way out of chronic metabolic diseases like diabetes. He recently presented his findings at Emery Pharma, a biologics and bioanalytical research and development laboratory in San Francisco, founded by Dr. Ramin Najafi, prominent Iranian American scientist and entrepreneur.
Dr. Lustig discusses the hazardous food item that can alter one metabolic pathway and help develop non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a disease that affects a significant portion of the population without their knowledge. Dr. Lustig emphasizes the importance of understanding the cause and pathogenesis of this disease, as it has become prevalent even in children who don't consume alcohol. He challenges the notion that obesity alone is the primary cause of metabolic diseases, presenting data showing that lean individuals also suffer from these conditions. He explains why the measurement of fat on the scale alone does not accurately determine a person's health status. Dr. Lustig highlights the significance of insulin resistance as a key factor in determining the development of diabetes and other chronic diseases. He discusses the different fat depots in the body, namely subcutaneous fat and visceral fat, and how their distribution and metabolic activity affect health outcomes.
Lustig also discusses the eight factors that contribute to metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions associated with increased risk of chronic diseases.
