1
The chances are good that sugar is a bigger part of your daily diet than you may realize, which is why our story tonight is so important.
2
New research coming out of some of America's most respected institutions is starting to find that sugar, the way many people are eating it today,
3
is a toxin and could be a driving force behind some of this country's leading killers, including heart disease.
4
As a result of these findings, an anti -sugar campaign has sprung up, led by Dr. Robert Lustig,
5
a California endocrinologist, who believes the consumption of added sugars has plunged America into a public health crisis. Is sugar toxic?
6
I believe it is.
7
Do you ever worry that that just sounds a little bit over the top?
8
Sure.
9
All the time.
10
But it's the truth.
11
Dr. Robert Lustig is a pediatric endocrinologist at the University of California san francisco
12
and a pioneer in what is becoming a war against sugar
13
deep breaths motivated by his own patients too many sick
14
and obese children dr lustig has concluded
15
that sugar more than any other substance is to blame what are all these various diseases
16
that you say are linked to sugar
17
obesity type 2 diabetes hypertension and heart disease itself lustig says the american lifestyle is killing us.
18
And most of it, you say, is preventable.
19
75 % of it is preventable.
20
While Dr. Lustig has published a dozen scientific articles on the evils of sugar, it was his lecture on YouTube called Sugar,
21
the Bitter Truth, that brought his message to the masses.
22
I'm standing here today to recruit you in the war against bad food.
23
By bad food, Dr. Lustig means the obvious things such as table sugar, honey, syrup, sugary drinks and desserts,
24
but also just about every processed food you can imagine where sugar is often hidden.
25
Yogurts and sauces, bread, even peanut butter.
26
And what about the man -made, often vilified sweetener, high fructose corn syrup?
27
Is it worse than just table sugar?
28
No, because it's the exact same.
29
They are basically equivalent problem is they're both bad they're both
30
equally toxic since the 1970s sugar consumption has gone down nearly 40 %
31
but high fructose corn syrup has more than made up the difference dr. lustig says they are both toxic
32
because they both contain fructose that's what makes them sweet
33
and irresistible we love it we go out of our way to find it
34
and I think one of the reasons evolutionarily is
35
because there is no foodstuff on the planet that has fructose
36
that is poisonous to you it is all good so
37
when you taste something that's sweet it's an evolutionary Darwinian signal
38
that this is a safe food we were born this way
39
we were born this way central to dr. Lustig's theory is
40
that we used to get our fructose mostly in small amounts of fruit
41
which came loaded with fiber that slows absorption and consumption.
42
After all, who can eat 10 oranges at a time?
43
But as sugar and high fructose corn syrup became cheaper to refine and produce, we started gorging on them.
44
Americans now consume 130 pounds per person a year.
45
That's a third of a pound every day.
46
Dr. Lustig believes those sweeteners are helping fuel an increase in the most deadly disease in America, heart disease.
47
For years, he's been a controversial voice.
48
Here is our oral isotope.
49
But now studies done by Kimber Stanhope, a nutritional biologist at the University of California, Davis, are starting to back him up.
50
She's in the middle of a groundbreaking five -year study
51
which has already shown strong evidence linking excess high fructose corn
52
syrup consumption to an increase in risk factors for heart disease
53
and stroke that suggests calories from added sugars are different than calories from other foods the mantra
54
that you hear from most nutritionists is
55
that a calorie is a calorie is a calorie
56
and i think the results of the study showed clearly
57
that is not true stanhope's conclusions weren't easy to come by nutrition studies are expensive
58
and difficult stanhope has paid groups of research subjects to live
59
in this hospital wing for weeks at a time under a sort of 24 -hour lockdown.
60
They undergo scans and blood tests.
61
Every calorie they ingest meticulously weighed and prepared.
62
They're never out of our sight.
63
So we do know that they are consuming exactly what we need them to consume.
64
And they're not sneaking any candy bars on the side.
65
Yeah, exactly.
66
For the first few days, participants eat a diet low in added sugars, so baseline blood levels can be measured.
67
So remember, you guys have to finish all your Kool -Aid.
68
Then 25 % of their calories are replaced with sweetened drinks, and Stanhope's team starts drawing blood every 30 minutes around the clock.
69
And those blood samples?
70
They revealed something disturbing.
71
And what are you starting to see?
72
We found that the subjects who consumed high -fructose corn syrup had increased blood levels of LDL cholesterol
73
and other risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
74
How quickly did these changes occur?
75
Within two weeks.
76
Kimber Stanhope's study suggests that when a person consumes too much sweet stuff, the liver gets overloaded with fructose and converts some of it into fat.
77
Some of that fat ends up in the bloodstream and helps generate a dangerous kind of cholesterol called small dense LDL.
78
These particles are known to lodge in blood vessels, form plaque and are associated with heart attacks.
79
Did it surprise you when you first got these results back?
80
I would have to say I was surprised because
81
when I saw our data I started drinking and eating a whole lot less sugar.
82
I would say our data surprised me.
83
So imagine, for these healthy young people, drinking a sweetened drink might be just as bad for their
84
hearts as the fatty cheeseburgers we've all been warned about since the 1970s.
85
That's when a government commission mandated that we lower fat consumption to try and reduce heart disease.
86
Major coronary risk factors.
87
So with the best of intentions, they say, time to reduce fat in the American diet.
88
Exactly.
89
And we did.
90
And guess what?
91
So heart disease, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and death are skyrocketing.
92
Dr. Lustig believes that's primarily because we replaced a lot of that fat with added sugars.
93
When you take the fat out of the food, it tastes like cardboard.
94
And the food industry knew that, so they replaced it with sugar.
95
This idea that sugar increases this particularly bad LDL, the small, dense particles that are associated with heart disease.
96
Do most doctors, do they know this?
97
No, they do not know this.
98
This is new.
99
And it turns out, sugar has become a major focus in cancer research, too.
100
Lewis Cantley is looking at the connection.
101
If you limit your sugar, you decrease your chances of developing cancer.
102
Absolutely.
103
Cantley, a Harvard professor and the head of the Beth Israel Deaconess Cancer Center, says when we eat or drink sugar, it causes a sudden spike in the hormone insulin,
104
which can serve as a catalyst to fuel certain types of cancers.
105
What we're beginning to learn is that insulin can cause adverse effects in various tissues.
106
And a particular concern is cancer.
107
Why?
108
Nearly a third of some common cancers, including breast and colon cancers, have something called insulin receptors on their surface.
109
Insulin binds to these receptors and signals the tumor to start consuming glucose.
110
So this is your body eating...
111
Every cell in our body needs glucose to survive, but the trouble is these cancer cells also use it to grow.
112
So if you happen to have a tumor that has insulin receptors on it, then it will get stimulated to take up the glucose that's in the bloodstream.
113
So rather than going into the fat or the muscle, the glucose now goes into the tumor and the tumor uses it to grow.
114
So you've just seen that tumor turn blue, which is essentially reflective of the glucose going into it.
115
And that's right.
116
So these cancers, much in the same way that muscle will say, hey, I'd like some of that glucose.
117
The fat says, I would like some of that glucose.
118
The cancers have learned how to do this themselves as well?
119
Yes.
120
So they have evolved the ability to hijack that flow of glucose that's going by in the bloodstream into the tumor itself.
121
Lewis Cantley's research team is working on developing drugs
122
that will cut off the glucose supply to cancer cells and keep them from growing.
123
But until there's a breakthrough, Cantley's advice, don't eat sugar.
124
And if you must, keep it to a minimum.
125
In fact, I live my life that way.
126
I rarely eat sugar.
127
When you see a sugary drink, or if I were to offer you one, with all that you know, what's going through your mind?
128
I probably would turn it down and get a glass of water.
129
But for most of us, that's easier said than done.
130
It turns out sugar is much more addictive than I think we had sort of realized early on.
131
Eric Stice, a neuroscientist at the Oregon Research Institute, is using functional MRI scanners to learn how our brains respond to sweetness.
132
Sugar activates our brain in a special way that's very reminiscent of drugs like cocaine.
133
That's right cocaine.
134
All right, let's give it a shot.
135
I climbed into the MRI scanner to see how my brain would respond.
136
That's a straw that's been rigged to deliver a tiny sip of soda into my mouth.
137
Stay as still as you can, okay?
138
Just as it hit my tongue, the scanner detected increased blood rushing to certain regions of my brain.
139
In these images, the yellow area show that my reward region is responding to the sweet taste.
140
Dopamine, a chemical that controls the brain's pleasure center, is being released, just as it would in response to drugs or alcohol.
141
So dopamine's released, that sort of makes me feel good, I'm experiencing some pleasure from having this kid.
142
Right, that euphoric effect.
143
So far be it for people to realize this, because sugar is everywhere, but you're saying this is one of the most addictive substances possibly that we have.
144
It certainly is very good at firing the reward regions in our brain.
145
Eric Stice says by scanning hundreds of volunteers,
146
he's learned that people who frequently drink sodas or eat ice cream or other sweet foods may be building up a tolerance, much like drug users do.
147
As strange as it sounds, that means the more you eat, the less you feel the reward.
148
The result?
149
You eat more than ever.
150
If you overeat these on a regular basis, it causes changes in the brain that basically Basically, it blunts your reward region response to the food,
151
so then you eat more and more to achieve the same satisfaction you felt originally.
152
With all this new science emerging, we wanted to hear from the sugar industry.
153
So we visited Jim Simon, who's on the board of the Sugar Association, at a sugarcane farm in Louisiana.
154
Would it surprise you that almost every scientist
155
that we talked to in researching this story told us they are eliminating all added sugars.
156
They're getting rid of it because they're concerned about the health impacts.
157
To say that the American consuming public is going to completely eliminate sweeteners out of their diet,
158
I don't think gets us there.
159
Simon cautions that eliminating sugar wrongly vilifies one food, rather than working toward the long -term solution of reducing calories and exercising.
160
You know, a lot of people, Jim, are saying that sugar is different.
161
It is bad for your heart and causing a lot of the problems that we are talking about.
162
It is addictive and in some cases might even fuel cancers.
163
What would you, I mean you've looked at this, you must have looked at some of these studies.
164
What do you say about that?
165
Science is not completely clear here.
166
But some of these studies exist.
167
I mean what is a consumer, what are they to make of all that?
168
Well I would say to them that they've got to approach their diet in balance.
169
Dr. Robert Lustig agrees.
170
We need a balanced diet.
171
But his idea of balance is a drastic reduction in sugar consumption. To that end,
172
he co -authored an American Heart Association report recommending men should consume no more than 150 calories of added sugars a day.
173
And women, just 100 calories.
174
That's less than the amount in just one can of soda.
175
Ultimately, this is a public health crisis.
176
And when it's a public health crisis, you have to do big things and you have to do them across the board.
177
Tobacco and alcohol are perfect examples.
178
We have made a conscious choice that we're not going to get rid of them, but we are going to limit their consumption.
179
I think sugar belongs in this exact same wastebasket.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
