Forget The Calories, Reduce Sugar – Dr. Berg

Support Healthy Blood Sugar Levels: 🛒 https://drbrg.co/3epvpw1

hey Dr Berg here in this video we’re going to talk about the most common cause of disease what I believe is the real underlying root issue and yes you guessed it it’s sugar but let me just explain the mechanism what occurs in the body the average person in the US consumes 140 lbs of sugar in their diet every single year but that doesn’t even count the hidden sugars from the breads pasta cereal crackers biscuit w wine alcohol baby food it’s in everything um I mean that’s just outrageous so what happens is all that Sugar gets into your bloodstream and then there’s a um hormone called insulin and what it does is it basically just pulls the sugar out of the blood and insulin is made by a gland called the pancreas now the pancreas has these little cells called beta cells right beta cells are the cell that makes the insulin that lowers the sugar that gets the sugar out um because your too much sugar is deadly our bodies were never designed to consume that much concentrated sugar I I had a patient come in the other day she’s consuming two liters of juice a day at another patient consuming a sixpack of soda every single day not every single week and they’re not even 8 O they’re actually 12 O there’s 6 12 O sodas a day I don’t know how she’s alive that is our bodies just are not designed to consume that much jet fuel and what happens is it really puts stress on this cell this beta cell here because it’s constantly like pumping out tons and tons and tons of insulin so over time what happens is that the um the receptor that’s supposed to kind of take in the insulin so receptor is not receiving it actually starts become very resistant of insulin so what what happens with the sugar is it all occurs in the liver so there’s a lot of um insulin sugar metabolism in the liver and so it goes in the liver it locks into the liver through the receptor and it’s supposed to create a certain effect like lowering of sugar right well what happens you eventually end up with something called Diabetes Type 2 which is a lesser problem than type one type one is more serious typee two is less serious but it’s still considered disease so diabetes type two is simply too much it’s a high sugar situation it’s too much sugar in the blood so they label you as uh Diabetes Type 2 now what happens really is your body is simply trying to reject this insulin by causing the receptor to stop receiving insulin okay so that’s what Diabetes Type 2 it’s really a receptor problem in the liver it’s rejecting insulin it’s saying I don’t want enough I had enough it’s like if you have people talk to you too much and you close yours it’s like talk to the hand don’t talk to me anymore that’s what’s really happening and so what happens now the insul sugar goes up and that’s very dangerous because you can have um a coma you can have all sorts of um mental cognitive issues you’re going to be irritable you’re going to be tired you’re going to have nerve problems and vision problems and there’s a lot of side effects so you’re going to belly fat cholesterol high blood pressure goes right down the list okay so that’s pretty much what happens at this level all right so now they’re labeled as Diabetes Type 2 by the doctor and then they’re treated by either metformin or glucophage which are the same thing metformin is comes from a an herb called goats R but you can’t patent goats r so they basically synthesize it synthetically and then they basically me uh they actually created metformin what metformin does is all it does is it makes this receptor receive the insulin better so basically what it does is it makes this connect better that’s all it does but it’s it’s kind of forcing your body to connect when it shouldn’t and that’s the problem that’s why it gives side effects so if people take too much metformin they can get a condition called lactic acidosis that’s a fancy word for you’re getting too much acid in your blood and you’re depring your depleting your oxygen so if you can Envision working out really hard and your muscles get full of lactic acid and you can’t you can’t breathe anymore because you’re out of breath and you’re huffing and puffing and that’s the same thing lactic acidosis occurs in the blood so you decrease oxygen and you’re going to have all sorts of uh hyperventilation and breathing problems that’s one of the side effects of metformin and there’s another side effect called liver failure and kidney failure so these things don’t come without side effects right now what’s very very very sad is there’s not this connection between what you put in your body and your diet and the correction of this issue instead it’s the labeling and the treat the management of the symptom over time it’s not very profitable to make this link and to actually have the person stop eating all the sugar it’s much more profitable to manage the symptom and continue the diet I would say nine out of 10 patients coming in um have not been changing their diet the doctor didn’t really talk about diet change um other than portion control now if you look at the American di U Diabetes Association I think it’s called diabetes. org uh they have the I think it’s the seven myths of diabetes and this is like almost comical they said myth number one sugar uh caused diabetes they said that’s a myth all right they said it’s a myth that starches will cause diabetes and it goes on on to listen you can go ahead and um read it it’s ridiculous and uh the problem is that they’re they’re um they’re assigning cause to obesity like obesity is causing this diabetes as the culprit and what they’re telling you is genetic or there’s environmental factors and obesity is a risk factor it’s linked to obesity so there’s really no cause effect it’s mainly there’s risk factors it’s genetic we don’t really know yet it’s the cause is unknown we don’t understand this so uh unfortunately the uh the uh American uh Diabetes Association is funded it was in the past I don’t know if it’s still being funded $ 23 million by the pharmaceutical companies and the food manufacturing companies so we know that that credibility has been lost just from that funding link but the point is that um this whole link here is ignored and they’ll pretty much tell you that we do recommend you reduce some of the juices that you consume but not for the sake of the insulin problem or the sugar problem but because of portion control because their whole thing is to lower the calories so you see the confusion what they’re doing I mean it’s so so classic so if you have diabetes if you want to prevent diabetes if you have family family that you care about and friends you care about please show them this video teach them these simple Concepts but this is the underlying source of diabetes and then eventually it wears out and goes into type 1 diabetes in which basically they have to be injected by insulin and if we come back over here to the pancreas type one is basically ex complete exhaustion and breakdown of the beta cell and so now you don’t produce any insulin anymore okay um so that’s pretty much the Simplicity of the most common cause of disease and um got to get the junk out of the trunk get the sugar out of the trunk and definitely um you know spread the word this is Dr Berg I hope this helped
