Robert Lustig: The pancreas sends insulin to the liver, and if the liver is sick so is pancreas
A short segment of a talk by Robert Lustig (uploaded by Dr. Ron Najafi) arguing that obesity is a symptom, not the root cause, and that fat in the liver (visceral/ectopic fat) underlies metabolic syndrome and related diseases. He states that metabolic syndrome (defective metabolic health/metabolic dysfunction) is the true problem, drives conditions like diabetes, and that current medical approaches mostly treat symptoms rather than curing the underlying cause.
