In this episode, Dr. Kashey discusses the centuries-long war on sugar, alcohol, and tobacco. He discusses the overwhelming evidence of these substances' adverse effects on human health and contrasts this with the lack of evidence supporting any benefits. Dr. Kashey also explores the often absurd and distorted beliefs surrounding dietary sugar and how this has led to misguided public opinions and policies. Additionally, Dr. Kashey discusses his year-long curriculum focused on the vital role of sugar in metabolism and provides a sneak peek into some of the topics covered in the lessons. He also addresses the idea that he is "brainwashed" and explains why learning about the integration of sugar in human metabolism is so important.
