Robert Lustig, MD: There is Fructose in Your Brain
This is a transcript excerpt from a talk by Robert Lustig, MD, asserting that fructose is present in the brain and alters mitochondrial metabolism. Lustig links impaired mitochondrial function to psychiatric disorders and lists mechanisms (BCL2, mtDNA mutations, glucocorticoid receptor translocation, altered calcium influx, reactive oxygen species) and downstream effects on synaptic plasticity, neurite outgrowth, ATP production, apoptosis, and behavior.
