Robert Lustig: Eliminating Sugar, Not Calories, Reverses Fatty Liver and Restores Metabolic Health
Excerpt from a talk by Robert Lustig describing results of a nine-day isocaloric fructose-restriction intervention: liver fat decreased 22%, de novo lipogenesis (DNL) fell 46%, VLDL fell 49%, visceral fat fell 7%, and pancreatic function improved—constituting reversal of metabolic syndrome without changes in calories or weight. The claim is supported by replication from groups at Emory and UC San Diego.
