Robert Lustig: Fructose’s Hidden Dangers—How It Mimics Reye’s Syndrome in the Liver
Robert Lustig (video) argues that dietary fructose inhibits mitochondrial function—specifically referencing 'acad L' inhibition—producing a Reye’s-syndrome-like mitochondrial encephalomyopathy in children. He reports that after switching their diet (removing/reducing sugar), baseline lactate levels fell, ALT and fasting triglycerides improved, and glucose tolerance improved (lower post-load glucose attributed to increased insulin sensitivity).
