Robert Lustig: Excessive sugar stresses the immune system: may be the cause of many auto immune sick
This YouTube lecture (uploaded by Dr. Ron Najafi, featuring Robert Lustig) argues that excessive dietary sugar — especially fructose — exacerbates autoimmune disease. In the excerpt Lustig claims group A streptococcus grows better on fructose (and sucrose) than on glucose (experiment cited with 2% fructose and 2% sucrose vs glucose), linking intestinal inflammation and hepatic insulin resistance to worsening autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.
Questions this video answers
