SUGAR: SWEET DEATH Sugar is not your friend.
One study from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) found that sugary soda had the same negative impact on your cells as ci******es and was associated with accelerated aging. Robert Lustig, a pediatric endocrinologist from UCSF, flatly states that sugar is addictive and it is the primary cause of obesity, hypertension, heart disease, cholesterol problems, and diabetesāall of which cause brain damage. He says that fructose is particularly troublesome, as it is processed in the liver like alcohol.
Robert H. Lustig, M.D. is Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology at University of California, San Francisco, and Director of the Weight Assessment for Teen and Child Health (WATCH) Program at UCSF.
Dr. Lustig is a neuroendocrinologist, with basic and clinical training relative to hypothalamic development, anatomy, and function.
