Mobilizing Investors to Build a More Sustainable Global EconomyAs the effects of climate change rise in prevalence, all facets of the global economy will be affected. In order to address many of the global environmental crises of today, such as biodiversity loss and extreme drought, entrepreneurs are looking into sustainable investment initiatives as a tool for change. Sustainable investing is a process that directs investment capital to companies and businesses actively working to prevent environmental destruction. Sustainable investments often follow an Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) framework, which seeks to promote socially conscious investments. Similar to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), which refers to a company's commitment to operating ethically, ESG goes one step further in providing an assessable outcome of a company's overall sustainability performance. Thus, ESG lays a foundation for investors in determining which corporations operate sustainably. Current Climate of Sustainable InvestmentFrom 2021 to 2026, institutional investment in ESG projects is expected to increase by 84%. The World Economic Forum recently published a report noting that over $200 billion is required annually in order to meet adaptation and resilience investment targets, which is three times the current funding. Such investing in adaptation and resilience could reduce exposure to climate risks and yield financial benefits for stakeholders involved. Although climate financing is slowly on the rise, there remains minimal progress in climate-vulnerable and high-emission countries. There are various types of sustainable investing, operating through registered investment companies, alternative investment funds and community investments. The US Sustainable Investment Forum identified 645 registered investment companies with $1.2 trillion sustainable investment AUM in 2022. Not only does sustainable investment cover private equity investments, but also cash, fixed income, and alternative investments. Sustainable investments, like conventional investing, receive a return on their investments. Reports from the Morgan Stanley Institute for Sustainable Investing found no financial trade-off between sustainable investing compared to traditional investment initiatives. Does sustainable investing provide hope for the future?Investing in sustainable industry, infrastructure, and business has the potential to provide a more climate-proof economy for all. For private investors, effective investments in areas vulnerable to climate change could reduce disruptions in the supply chain, thereby boosting labor productivity and lowering operational costs. As such, companies will have the tools in place to be able to respond to vulnerabilities when they arise while still maintaining a profit. Additionally, ESG investing has been proven to provide downside protection during social or economic crises according to the NYU Stern Center for Sustainable Business. Such protection may be pertinent in a world more susceptible to the adverse effects of climate change. Many studies corroborate such findings; a meta-study conducted by Oxford University in 2015 revealed that 88% of companies with robust sustainability practices demonstrate better operational performance, translating into higher cash flows and positive effects on investment performance.Greenwashing and ESG ConcernsOne concern within the world of sustainable investment is largely centered around the question of whether organizations will be willing to take more or less risk to achieve an impact. Companies that prioritize sustainability may be more volatile than traditional companies, creating fear around the uncertainty of consistent returns. Further, there is often confusion on how to make a good return on investment when choosing to invest in more socially responsible companies. The rise of sustainable investment has brought about potential concerns related to greenwashing, in which a company's ESG credentials or potential sustainability initiatives may be over-embellished, leading to falsified information. On the other hand, many investors prioritizing sustainable investment initiatives have received a surge in backlash against their new initiatives, mainly from Republican politicians. A recent study by The Conference Board revealed that 48% of surveyed businesses have experienced backlash to their ESG policies or activities, potentially deterring companies from further pursuing such initiatives. An increase in educational awareness is vital to inform investors of the benefits of sustainable investing and ways to do so responsibly amidst criticism. Who is our guest?Kirsten Spalding leads the nonprofit Ceres Investor Network, which supports global investor initiatives such as Paris Aligned Asset Owners, Climate Action 100+, and Net Zero Asset Managers. Nonprofit advocacy organizations like Ceres Investor Network are at the forefront of promoting sustainable business practices through mobilizing investors to build a more sustainable economy.

Harris is the Democratic presidential nominee in the 2024 United States presidential election. She is the first female vice president of the United States, making her the highest-ranking female official in U. S. history. She is also the first African American and first Asian American vice president. From 2017 to 2021, she represented California in the United States Senate. Before that, she was Attorney General of California from 2011 to 2017.Born in Oakland, California, Harris graduated from Howard University and the University of California, Hastings College of the Law.

She was recruited to the San Francisco District Attorney's Office and later to the office of the city attorney of San Francisco. She was elected district attorney of San Francisco in 2003 and attorney general of California in 2010, and reelected as attorney general in 2014. As the San Francisco district attorney and the attorney general of California, Harris was the first woman, the first African American, and the first Asian American to hold each office.Harris was the junior U. S. senator from California from 2017 to 2021. She won the 2016 Senate election, becoming the second Black woman and first South Asian American U. S. senator. As a senator, Harris advocated for stricter gun control laws, the DREAM Act, federal legalization of cannabis, and reforms to healthcare and taxation. She gained a national profile for her pointed questioning of Trump administration officials during Senate hearings, including Trump's second Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh.Harris sought the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination in 2019, but withdrew from the race before the primaries. Biden selected her as his running mate, and their ticket defeated the incumbent president and vice president, Donald Trump and Mike Pence, in the 2020 election. Presiding over an evenly split Senate upon entering office, Harris played a crucial role as president of the Senate. She cast more tie-breaking votes than any other vice president, which helped pass bills such as the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 stimulus package and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. After Biden withdrew from the 2024 presidential election, Harris launched her campaign with Biden's endorsement and soon became the presumptive nominee. On August 6, 2024, she chose Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, as her running mate.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:17 UTC on Wednesday, 6 November 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Kamala Harris on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Olivia.

David Levy is a candidate for the Regional Metropolitan Transit Authority's Board of Directors in District 2. The Transit Authority, also known as Metro, is responsible for running Omaha's bus system, including ORBT and MOBY services. Levy is running against Clarice Dombeck, who was on this show in June. You can hear my conversation with her wherever you get your podcasts. The first elected transit board will have seven nonpartisan members, one for each district. Prior to this year, seats were appointed by the mayor rather than elected. The change is part of Metro's increased budget and expanded regional services. Board responsibilities include determining transit policy, overseeing the budget and handling contracts. David Levy was born in Lincoln, and his family moved to Santa Barbara, California when he was 9. He earned both an undergraduate and master's degree in city planning at the University of California, Berkeley. He spent the first part of his career as a city planner in San Francisco. He earned a law degree from Hastings College of the Law, know known as University of California College of the Law, San Francisco. Levy now works as an attorney at the firm Baird Holm LLP, where he represents clients in land use and energy matters. He currently serves as a commissioner of the Omaha Housing Authority and as a member of the Omaha by Design board of directors. Before beginning his legal career, Levy was a city planner for the City and County of San Francisco. Levy also contributed to the City of Omaha's streetcar project. In this episode, Levy and Michael Griffin are talking about how Levy's early interest in architecture led to his career in law and city planning, his vision for transit equity, and how to increase civic engagement in Omaha. Here is my conversation with David Levy. Correction: A previous version of this text misidentified the school from which Levy obtained his law degree. It was Hastings College of the Law. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/riversidechats/support

“I've really enjoyed getting into classrooms to affirm my colleagues. I seek whenever I do a visit to say something that is both positive and true.

On this episode of Ancestral Health Today, we take a look back into Ancestral Health Symposium 2014 where Dr. Robert Lustig spoke about sugar not being an ordinary commodity. Dr. Lustig is Professor emeritus of Pediatrics, Division of Endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). He specializes in the field of neuroendocrinology, with an emphasis on the regulation of energy balance by the central nervous system. His research and clinical practice has focused on childhood obesity and diabetes. Dr. Lustig holds a Bachelor's in Science from MIT, a Doctorate in Medicine from Cornell University. Medical College, and a Master's of Studies in Law from U.C. Hastings College of the Law.Dr. Lustig has fostered a global discussion of metabolic health and nutrition, exposing some of the leading myths that underlie the current pandemic of diet-related disease. He believes the food business, by pushing processed food loaded with sugar, has hacked our bodies and minds to pursue pleasure instead of happiness; fostering today's epidemics of addiction and depression. Yet by focusing on real food, we can beat the odds against sugar, processed food, obesity, and disease.

In this episode we talk about artificial intelligence in the world of invention. My guest recently co-wrote an article for the Journal of Robotics, Artificial Intelligence & Law about a recent decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit that expounded on the principle that only human beings -- not machines -- can be named as inventors under U.S. patent law. The decision applies a straightforward interpretation of patent statutes, our guest says. Beyond invention, what about that initial spark of innovation? What about the decision might make it difficult to obtain intellectual property protection for inventions generated by advanced AI systems? Isn't AI kind of like using computer modeling? Don't inventors already get considerable assistance from technology? What did the court say about all that? Joining me to answer these questions is Robert A. McFarlane, an intellectual property litigator and registered patent attorney and partner with Hanson Bridgett LLP in San Francisco. Rob chairs the firm's technology practice, co-chairs its IP practice, litigates and advises on a variety of IP matters in the U.S. and abroad, and teaches patent law at the University of California College of the Law San Francisco (formerly Hastings College of the Law). Rob earned his J.D. from the University of California College of Law San Francisco and his B.A.S. with departmental honors, in Industrial Engineering & Political Science from Stanford University. I hope you enjoy the episode. I mean, we get to talk about everything from Tom Jefferson to monkeys with cameras. That's five-star material right there!***********This podcast is the audio companion to the Journal of Emerging Issues in Litigation.

Today we speak with an expert on sugar and things meant to replace it. The stakes are high. Very high. Sugar consumption in the population is astronomical and so is the use of sugar replacements. Knowing the impacts of both could help experts provide dietary guidance and help consumers make decisions. Dr. Robert Lustig is Professor Emeritus of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco. He specializes on the regulation of energy balance by the central nervous system; body weight regulation, appetite, metabolism, and is very well known for his work on sugar and their substitutes and on policies aimed at improving the diet of the population. A YouTube video on the effects of consuming sugar called “Sugar: The Bitter Truth,” has now been viewed 24 million times. Interview Summary URL for “The Bitter Truth video (https://youtu.be/dBnniua6-oM) Let's start out with this - so the big hope is that sugar replacements, artificial sweeteners, non-nutritive sweeteners, all known as different things, replace sugar and that people can enjoy sweet taste without the calories. But, of course, the picture is way more complicated. Being an endocrinologist, you are in a good position to explain what happens when the sweeteners enter the body. I'd like to get to that in just a moment, but let's lead off with another question. Why is it so important for people to consume less sugar? First, let's talk about what sugar is. The food industry tells you that sugar is just empty calories. I wish that were true. If that were true, then you could basically spend your discretionary calories on sugar with no problem. But it's not true. There are two molecules in dietary sugar: the sucrose or the high fructose corn syrup or honey maple syrup agave. They are all basically the same. One molecule of something called glucose, one molecule of something called fructose. Glucose is the energy of life. Glucose is metabolizable by every cell on the planet. Glucose is so important that if you don't consume it, your body makes it. The liver will take fats and turn it into glucose. It will take amino acids and turn it into glucose process called gluconeogenesis. Glucose actually makes your cells work better. It makes your mitochondria function better, the mitochondria being the little energy burning factories inside each of your cells. Glucose, for lack of a better word, we can call good. Fructose, on the other hand, it is completely different, is metabolized completely differently inside the body and inside the liver. What fructose does is it inhibits mitochondrial function. It actually inhibits three separate enzymes necessary for mitochondria to do their job. So, fructose inhibits energy generation. Now, the food industry will tell you fructose is four calories per gram. Fructose is ready energy. That is why they put high fructose corn syrup in the sports drinks, for example. Well, turns out, that fructose may be ready energy for a bomb calorimeter, but it is not ready energy for your mitochondria. You don't burn in a bomb calorimeter (a laboratory instrument), you burn via your mitochondria. It turns out, mitochondria are actually poisoned by fructose. So in fact, fructose is a chronic, dose-dependent mitochondrial toxin and this is why we have to eat less of it. But the problem is the food industry keeps putting it in anyway despite the fact that it is killing us. How much more of it are people consuming than what you might suggest? The American Heart Association years ago came up with a upper limit per day of about 25 grams, which would be about six teaspoons per day. I was actually part of that group that came up with that and I stick to it because that's what the data show. We are currently consuming 94 grams. We are consuming almost quadruple the amount that is the upper limit. Now, the notion that something could have empty calories but still be bad for you is not a crazy one. We have two things in our diet that we know are calories but are clearly toxic to us. One is alcohol. Alcohol, seven calories per gram, but alcohol is a poison. And then also trans fats. Trans fats are nine calories per gram, but trans fats are a poison. So just because something has calories doesn't have anything to do with its metabolic impact. Where are people getting all the sugar from? I'm assuming it's not from their sugar bowl. Exactly. It is not the sugar they add. It is the sugar the food industry adds. Now, where is it? Well, the obvious source is soft drinks. That's number one by far and away. I mean soft drinks are basically, you know, the devil incarnate. Several municipalities have actually figured that out, and it's one of the reasons we have soda taxes because it's actually directed at the problem. A lot of it is in other things that we identify as sweet: candy, cakes, ice cream. A lot of it is in other things like breakfast, cereal, yogurt, even cured meats. It is in a whole host of other things. When you add it all up, 65% of the sugar you consume is in ultra-processed foods. It is not in regular food. It is not in sugar you added to your own food. It is in ultra-processed foods. An ultra-processed food is the vehicle by which the payload, that is that fructose, is doing its damage. Thanks for that background. We're really here to talk about the artificial sweeteners but it is irresistible talking to you about sugar in general because you described the whole picture in such a compelling way. So thank you for that. So, onto the artificial sweeteners. What are the main ones in the food supply? Well, there are a whole bunch. The most common ones that the food industry uses the most, obviously aspartame, which is Equal. And also sucralose, which is Splenda. But there are others now out on the market: Neotame, there's Acesulfame-K, there's monk fruit, there's Stevia, and all the Steviol glycoside derivatives. There's now Allulose, and there's Tagatose. There's a whole host of different sweeteners that are considered "non-nutritive” meaning they don't have calories. These things show up in ways that people don't necessarily recognize. I mean Diet Coke, Diet Pepsi, those sort of things, it's obvious they're artificially sweetened. But these things are showing up in a lot of places, aren't they? Indeed. The food industry now understands that sugar is a problem and people have been calling for less sugar but what they're not calling for is less sweet. And so the industry has a job. It has to deal with that dichotomy. I know understanding their impacts is complicated by the fact that there are a lot of these things and they're all chemically different from one another. I'm imagining they have different metabolic effects. What happens when these things get into the body? Right, and that is the issue. It has nothing to do with calories. People think calories are the issue. This has nothing to do with calories. That's one of the reasons, Kelly, that I'm committed to one concept: kill the calorie. Kill the calorie as a unit of measure. It was never appropriate. It was actually subterfuge, and it was actually promoted and promulgated by the food industry because if it is about calories, they can assuage their culpability for what they've done to our food supply. This has nothing to do with calories. This has to do with metabolic health. Now, the World Economic Forum just published a white paper called the, "True Purpose of Nutrition," and it comes down to two words: metabolic health. That is what is going on inside the cell and that's where the artificial sweeteners do their damage, inside the cell. That's what we have to talk about. There are several places in the body where artificial sweeteners can do damage that have absolutely nothing to do with calories. The first, you put something sweet on your tongue. Message goes tongue to brain, "Sugar's coming." Brain sends a message to the pancreas, "Sugar's coming, release the insulin." Then the sugar never comes because it was a diet sweetener. What does the pancreas do? It turns out it releases the insulin anyway even though it had no calories, even though it wasn't sugar, just because of the sweet taste. So this is known as the cephalic phase of insulin secretion. That insulin is driving energy storage into fat, number one, and it's also driving cell proliferation in your coronary arteries, cell proliferation in your breast tissue, in other words, cardiovascular disease and cancer and ultimately leading to burnout of your pancreas, and now you've got diabetes too. Even though these artificial sweeteners have no calories, they still generate an insulin response, which is still problematic from a metabolic standpoint. So because of the sweet taste and the body's response to that, I'm assuming what you're saying would be true to all of sweeteners? Exactly. All of them do that. The next step is the artificial sweetener goes down your gullet, goes into your intestine, and the intestine has these bacteria in it called the microbiome. Most people have now heard of that. Different bacteria lead to different effects in the intestine. But think of your intestine - I mean it's a sewer. It has a whole lot of S-H-you-know-what in there. The goal of the intestine is to keep the S-H-you-know-what IN the lumen of the intestine and not allow it into the bloodstream. It uses three barriers. It has a physical barrier called the mucin layer. It has a biochemical barrier known as tight junctions or zonulins. It also has an immunological barrier called Th17 cells. Those three barriers have to work right to keep the junk out of your bloodstream because if the junk gets into your bloodstream, you now have systemic inflammation, which drives insulin resistance and drives chronic metabolic disease as well. So keeping your intestine in tiptop shape is really important. Well, it turns out those diet sweeteners alter the microbiome. Some of those bacteria like those sweeteners and utilize them to make toxic byproducts, which damage the mucin layer, damage that biochemical tight junction barrier and allow for things to seep through. This is a process called leaky gut. For reasons that are still unclear, sugar tends to deplete those Th17 cells, rendering the immunologic barrier devoid of function. The sum total of which means all the you-know-what in your intestine ends up in your bloodstream, goes to your liver, generates insulin resistance, and you are off to the chronic metabolic disease races as well, from diet sweeteners having nothing to do with calories. What an amazing picture your painting of these things. We've got one more mechanism. At the fat cell, now this I really don't understand and it's early data but seems to be consistent. Turns out adipocytes, fat cells, have receptors for diet sweeteners. Don't ask me why. I don't know why. But it turns out, diet sweeteners can act like insulin right at the fat cell to increase energy deposition into the fat cell. Growing those fat cells all by themselves, due to the diet sweetener rather than due to insulin. Now how dumb is that? As a result, there are a lot of different ways diet sweeteners might end up causing problems as well, having nothing to do with calories, having nothing to do with fructose. There was a paper that came out in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition. It was a meta-analysis of sugar and also of diet sweeteners in terms of diabetes and heart disease. What I can say in one sentence to sum up what this paper showed is that the toxicity of one Coca-Cola equals the toxicity of two diet Coca-Colas. Half as bad. That doesn't mean good. It means half as bad. Boy, I mean, any one of the three major pathways to harm would be of concern. If you add them all together, it is a pretty striking picture, isn't it? I imagine, even if somebody knew about this, they might say, well, you know, I'm willing to accept those risks. I mean, even though you are making them sound substantial, but I'm willing to accept those risks if these products help me control my weight. Do they? Well, they don't. That's part of the problem. There is not one study, not one study in the entire world's literature, that shows that switching from sugared beverages to diet beverages actually controls weight. The reason is because even though the diet sweeteners don't release as much insulin now, when you drink the diet sweetener, the pancreas releases it later. That's actually been shown in several studies now. You get a delayed insulin response, so that the 24-hour insulin burden is the same whether you consume the sugar or the diet sweetener. Let's talk about safety for a minute. What about sort of the typical toxicology concerns that people have had for years about these substances, irrespective of what they're doing to the pancreas and to the other, the microbiome, et cetera? What about the just kind of pure safety of them? Right, so the one that has generated the most heat, not too much light, unfortunately, is aspartame, NutraSweet. It turns out that aspartame has a very long and checkered history. Did you know that aspartame was made by Searle, G.D. Searle? And, do you know who the CEO of G.D. Searle was at the time that aspartame was approved by the FDA? I do not. His name was Donald Rumsfeld. An interesting character in history. Indeed, wouldn't you think? It turns out that G.D. Searle actually buried most of the toxicology of aspartame in order to get it approved. It is a long complicated and involved story, which we don't have time for. I'm not even privy to most of the details on that. The bottom line was it ultimately did get approved despite the fact that there was a significant amount of concern about toxicology of this compound. Those questions still remain today. That is one. Another one that is a big issue is sucralose. Sucralose is also called Splenda. Sucralose is a chlorinated poly-fructose and it's extremely sweet, no question about that. It seems to have some GI side effects that a lot of people don't like. It also has now been associated with cancer. And most recently, the one that's gotten the most attention and almost assuredly, Kelly, the reason you called me is the paper that came out about three weeks ago in science about erythritol. So erythritol is a sugar alcohol, and now the meta-analysis of erythritol consumption suggests that it may in fact contribute to heart disease. Now, is that true? Meta-analysis are complicated. People think meta-analysis are the piece de resistance, the highest bar of medical information and analysis. I have four words for meta-analysis: garbage in, garbage out. Meta-analyses are only as good as the studies that they base the data on. If those studies were done by the food industry, which almost all of these are, because that's who stands to benefit from them. These are almost never NIH studies. These are almost always food industry studies, as you know, the odds are 7.61 times more likely to find in favor of the compound of interest. So all of these are, shall we say, biased. All of these are tainted, and meta-analyses are basically a conglomeration of tainted studies. So what do you expect the result to be? Thanks for that background. I'm imagining also regarding toxicology and safety, that some of the newer sweeteners like Splenda for example, sucralose, there hasn't been enough years of use to pick up long-term chronic effects. Well certainly, if you're using cardiovascular or cancer events, you're absolutely right. A lot of these events, you know, take a long time to manifest themselves. Sometimes, a generation or even two generations for that matter, especially for heart disease and cancer. The 15-year-old is drinking 10 diet sodas. When do you expect the heart attack to show up? You know, it's complicated. So we use biomarkers to try to answer these questions, but then the biomarker has to actually be a good proxy for those events and often they're not. Let me give you an example, LDL. Everybody thought LDL was the bad guy. Turns out triglycerides are the way worse guy. LDL has a hazard risk ratio for heart disease of 1.3. Triglycerides have a hazard risk ratio of 1.8. Triglycerides are 50% more important in determining heart disease than LDL is, but we use LDL as the biomarker because it's more stable. So you have to use the right biomarker and you have to interpret it properly and it actually has to mean something and it has to change relatively acutely. All of which are problematic for all of these biomarkers. It's hard. It's hard to do these kinds of analyses. Having said that, my group, a scientific advisory team that I convened to help an offshore ultra-processed food company improve the health of their products. We've published this just last month in Frontiers in Nutrition. The company is called Kuwaiti Danish Dairy Company, or KDD. The title of the paper is, "The Metabolic Matrix: Re-Engineering Ultra-processed Foods to Protect the Liver, Feed the Gut, and Support the Brain." We did a deep dive on diet sweeteners. We looked at all of these diet sweeteners and their proxies, all the biomarkers. The one that actually popped out that looked to be the most beneficial, at least acutely, is a new one that we're actually kind of interested in and is picking up speed and it's called allulose. Allulose currently is 12 times the cost of sugar, but that's coming down. It turns out allulose lowers LDL and raises HDL. So it may have a better cardiovascular profile, but again, all the caveats that we mentioned before. That's very interesting. So given your interest in pediatrics, what about children using these sweeteners? I am totally against children using sugar because they get fatty liver disease and Type 2 diabetes, and I am totally against them using diet sweeteners because, number one, we don't know what they're going to do. Number two, they don't actually lead to weight loss. That data we do have. So as far as I'm concerned, we really only have one option and that is de-sweeten our lives. We have to de-sweeten the food. Perfect lead in to the next question I was going to ask. So do you think it is possible for people to become accustomed to less sweetness? I mean, let's say the food industry is required to gradually reduce sugar and sweetness from the sweeteners. What do you think would happen? Absolutely. It is not only possible, it is eminently doable. And I know why and we have the data for why that is. So there is a very smart lady, neuroscientist at the University of Michigan by the name of Monica Dus, who has done all this work in fruit flies of all places. She has shown the desensitization of the tongue to sugar has to do with changes in receptors and changes in specific substrates in the taste buds of the tongue. When you stop the sugar availability, it takes three weeks for those receptors to increase and repopulate, and for those problematic substrates to go away. You can actually retrain your tongue in three weeks to be much more sensitive to the sugar that is in the food naturally. After a three-week abstinence period or a reduction or a weaning period, a blueberry will taste like a sugar bomb in your mouth. So we know this can happen and we actually have proven this for salt previously. The UK, as you know Kelly, back in 2003, the Blair government convened all the food industry concerns in Great Britain. So Marks & Spencer, and Weight Rose, and Tesco, et cetera, all around the big table, didn't let media in, and basically said to every single food industry concerned in Great Britain, "Look, we have a hypertension and stroke problem and it's because of the salt content of the food and we are going to play referee here in the government. And each of you is going to reduce the salt content of your food by 10% per year over a three-year period so that you'll reduce your salt by 30% at the end of this and everyone's going to play together, so that there's no competitive disadvantage and most importantly, we're not going to tell anybody." That's what they did. Sure enough, in 2011, a paper appeared in Burge Medical Journal, demonstrating a 40% reduction in hypertension and stroke because of the public health effort that the Blair government made in terms of reducing the amount of salt in processed food. We can do the same with sugar today. The salt example is a good one because I think many people have sort of experienced this in their day-to-day lives, even in the United States, where industry hasn't done exactly what's happening in Britain. People have tried to reduce salt in their diet, add less salt, and buy products with less salt. And then sometimes they'll go back and consume something that they had before and find it extremely salty, even unpleasantly salty. It's interesting to hear on the sugar front that that same experience might be possible and that there's a biological reason for it. It is not just that you psychologically get accustomed to different levels of sugar, in this case, but there's a biological change occurring that might help keep that going. Absolutely. You can change people's behavior by changing their biochemistry. This is how I got into this field by using a drug that suppressed insulin and getting kids who were 400 pounds due to their brain tumor to actually lose weight and start exercising because we got their insulin down. You can fix the biochemistry and the behavior will follow suit. The food industry could do that and we wouldn't even notice. So I'm guessing I know the answer to this question before I even ask it, but let's go ahead. Would you suggest the food industry be mandated to make gradual reductions in sugar, just like you mentioned with salt in the UK? Absolutely, I'm working toward that. The only thing that I say is we should not tell anybody. So it would be sort of a stealth move then. You would not necessarily have to make a big deal of it to the public, because they might assume there's going to be a change in the desirability and the pleasure of the products when that's not necessarily the case. As soon as you do something to their food, someone's going to scream, "Nanny state!" This is not nanny state. Ultimately, this is a public health problem. We have to deal with it with a public health solution. You know, that means changing things. If the amount of sugar in our food supply went down, say by 3% every six months down, so that we were able to cut our sugar consumption by 25%, which would be the same basically as what a tax would do. We would save so many billions of dollars in healthcare costs, and we would increase productivity so much. We actually published a paper, a microsimulation analysis in BMJ years ago where we quantified the savings to government, to insurers, to the public. If we actually got sugar down and, you know, actually listened to what the USDA told us, it would be amazing. There is data, there's a pathway forward, there's precedent for doing it. I absolutely think that is where we need to go. Rob, you're making me feel very smart at the moment, because I figured this was going to be a podcast filled with information and helpful bits of knowledge and it sure was. I'm really grateful that you were able to join us and the topic couldn't be more important. Thank you again for being with us. Bio Robert H.

Born into the political and cultural quiescence of the 1950's, Jon Melrod grew up in apartheid-like Washington D.C. Active in the student movement that opposed the Vietnam War and a supporter of Black liberation, Jon embraced the ideology that the working class held the power to radically transform society. He left the campus for the factory in 1972. For thirteen years he immersed himself in the day- to-day struggles of Milwaukee's working class, both on the factory floor and in the political arena.Despite FBI and Milwaukee Police "Red Squad" interference, Jon organized a militant rank-and-file caucus and rose through the union ranks to a top leadership position in UAW local 72. After a mass workforce cutback imposed by AMC's joint venture partner French automaker Renault, he left to attend Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco in 1985. Graduating cum laude with a JD, he opened a law firm in San Francisco successfully representing hundreds of political refugees.In 2004, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and given only six months to a year to live. Determined to overcome the illness, he marshalled both western and alternative treatments and, despite the odds, survived the deadly disease. After 13-year-old Andy Lopez was gunned down by a Sonoma County deputy sheriff, he reupped his bar membership and jumped back into the struggle against police violence.In 2019, he married Filipina actress and human rights activist Maria Isabel Lopez and became politically active in the movement to defend the ancestral lands of the persecuted indigenous peoples of the Philippine archipelago who are under attack by the army at the behest of foreign logging and mining interests. He has also become active in the human rights struggle defending imprisoned Filipino political prisoners.Thank you to BetterHelp for sponsoring this episode.

Share with me in the comments below! In this episode: What is metabolic health + what all does it affect? Insight on the liver enzyme ALT + how it's normal range has changed What are Dr. Lustig's "Hateful Eight" for metabolic health? Thoughts about why the diabetes diagnosis is exploding Glucose vs. fructose - which is worse? The importance of fiber Quotes "It makes sense that the disease of alcohol and the disease of sugar should be the same, and that's why children now get type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease without alcohol."

¿Por qué engordamos? El hígado graso, una enfermedad que puede curarse. Estamos comiendo demasiado o estamos comemiendo mal.Compartiremos con el Dr. Robert Lustig, licenciado en Ciencias por el MIT, doctor en Medicina por la Universidad de Cornell.

Es profesor emérito de Pediatria de la División de Endocrinología de la Universidad de California. Especializado en neuroendocrinología, Su investigación y práctica se ha enfocado en la obesidad y diabetes infantil. Autor del libro Metabolical: El atractivo y las mentiras de los alimentos procesados, la nutrición y la medicina moderna.Los efectos de la glucosa y la fructosaLa glucosa es la energía de la vida, es tan importante que si no se consume, el cuerpo la produce. No es necesaria consumirla de por vida ni en exceso. La fructosa no tiene reacción bioquímica en el cuerpo que lo requiera. Las personas no necesitan fructosa, ya que es tres veces más dulce que la glucosa, pudiendo causar igual cirrosis que el alcohol.La fruta es buena, pero el zumo noLa fructosa es la razón por la cual la fruta es dulce, la cantidad que contiene es debido a la fibra. Al procesar la fruta, la fructosa se absorberá con rapidez y no alimentará el intestino. La industria alimentaria vende zumo y es dañino debido a que son productos procesados, los cuales pierden su valor alimenticio.El azúcar no es peligroso por sus calorías o porque engorde. No es un alimento. Al consumirla en exceso, se convierte en una toxina adictiva. El hígado graso, una enfermedad que puede prevenirseSi el hígado recibe demasiada fructosa, no puede soportar su exceso. El hígado convierte el azúcar en grasa y el alcohol en grasa. El 45% de los estadounidenses tiene enfermedad por hígado graso. Comer cereal, jugos, en un desayuno lesiona el hígado, ya que toma el exceso y lo convierte en grasa.La población latina tiene un riesgo mayor al consumir azúcar, siendo más vulnerables, haciéndose resistentes a la insulina y desarrollando diabetes 2.

Indican lo que hace el hígado en el organismo. Es una forma de comprobar la resistencia a la insulina · Insulina en ayunas: Los niveles de insulina no está relacionada con la obesidad, sino con la salud metabólica, que es mucho más importante. Es la prueba más importante que debe hacerse Comer comida real es lo que se debe inducir a la poblaciónDos condiciones que debe tener la comida real: proteger el hígado y alimentar el intestino. Esto significa tener una alimentación bajhttps://www.facebook.com/CocoMarchNMDhttps://www.instagram.com/cocomarch.nmd/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyT1tdUjfnbA-4Cqrz8BwFghttps://blog.dracocomarch.comhttps://store.dracocomarch.com/es/https://podcast.comocurar.com/
