The medical profession is regularly confronting issues relating to addiction, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and obesity in their day-to-day practice. It is interesting to observe what doctors think of these issues.
With this in mind, Credit Suisse Research conducted a proprietary survey of 152 doctors in the USA, Europe and Asia. The results are startling.
While most doctors do not appear to have much specialized knowledge or training about nutrition (and more specifically sugar or HFCS), 82% of the doctors in the USA and Europe think that sugar calories are handled differently by the body, compared to only 60% in Asia.
On the question “is sugar addictive,” 65% think this is the case. There is more: 98% of the doctors in the USA think that increased sugar consumption is linked to the development of obesity, compared to 85% in Europe and 94% in Asia. The same question regarding diabetes type II shows that 96% of the doctors surveyed in the USA believe there is a link with increased sugar consumption versus 92% in Europe and 86% in Asia.
It gets even better. When doctors were asked about the extent of training on nutrition they received in medical school, almost 60% worldwide had minimal to none!

There was no significant difference in 12-month weight loss between the HLF (Healthy Low Fat and HLC (Healthy Low Carbohydrate) diets, and neither genotype pattern nor baseline insulin secretion was associated with the dietary effects on weight loss.
The takeaway? EAT REAL FOOD. The link to the research is > here

Before you take health, diet, and wellness advice from a country you may want to consider what they are marketing to you! Check out the below charts that outline how much sugar and fat people consume per day.
Fat is not the cause of obesity and diabetes, overconsumption of sugar and carbohydrates is!

The story in this video serves as a very graphic reminder of how much sugar is hidden in our everyday foods. No, we are not talking about junk foods! There is so much sugar in our so-called healthy food that it isn’t healthy at all.
Damon Gameau embarks on a bold experiment to consume foods that are thought to be healthy, however, are loaded with sugar. See for yourself what happens.

This is an old video. However, it is as relevant today as it was years ago! Dr. Robert H. Lustig makes the point that we have been trying the low-fat approach for 40 years and it has failed to make us slimmer or healthier. In fact, we have gotten fatter and sicker. While the percentage of our daily calorie intake accounted for by fat has dropped steadily, the incidence of obesity and related illnesses, including type 2 diabetes, has gone through the roof. “Sugar is the problem,” states Lustig, “and yet public health officials are still advising us to follow a low-fat diet.”
