This is a YouTube video titled "What Really Causes Cravings? | Dr. Cate Shanahan x Dave Asprey" containing a discussion between Dr. Cate Shanahan and Dave Asprey recorded in June 2024. They talk about the causes of food cravings, particularly focusing on the effects of certain oils and blood sugar fluctuations on cravings for sugar and fats.
So we'll say that the hateful eight oils, that, that those are going to cause food cravings, including sugar cravings. And it's true that if you have just, you know, just a can of soda, which is not something I recommend, that you'll have far less cravings from that than you do from eating bad fats. But if you're like most people, your blood sugar will go up, then go down. And when you have really low blood sugar, you'll probably have a hypoglycemia induced craving, which is not the same as a bad fat. Hateful eight induced craving. Those are stronger cravings, right?
Well, hypoglycemia actually is hypoglycemia, but so the, the, the is they feel the same. You can't tell the difference. But the very they're. They are bad in terms of they both drive you back to more sugar and you don't want either one of them right now. Definitely eating sugary foods will put you kind of on a high blood sugar, low blood sugar roller coaster ride. And so I'm definitely not advocating for, for eating those.
Yep.
I'm just trying to make it clear that one drives you to the other. And it's vegetable oils that drive you to sugar, not the other way around.
Gotcha. I, I like how that sugar won't make you crave vegetable oil.
