1131220557859500033 | “We need to ban the sale of junk food completely in hospitals. If people want to buy this stuff, that’s fine, they can go out and get it, but hospitals should not be selling it. They should be selling decent, healthy food.” -@DrAseemMalhotra https://t.co/Tg88JtzF8H | 367 |
1073300909545861120 | “There are two diseases that children never got before: #Type2diabetes and #FattyLiverDisease,” Lustig said. “Prior to 1975, those two diseases were the diseases of aging and the diseases of alcohol. Now kids get them.” Via Manya Goldstein (@ManyaG18) https://t.co/H2UoE80NyL | 322 |
1016023943096909824 | "Parents should instead serve water and focus on trying to increase children’s intake of whole fruit. Juice should no longer be served regularly in day care centers and schools." https://t.co/t2HT1pcPIA | 310 |
1227388281400090625 | It’s not about obesity, it never was. The key to the kingdom is that it is not about obesity, it is about metabolic dysfunction and anyone can get it, and that’s what makes it a public health crisis, because obesity is a result of the problem, not the cause. | 284 |
1259862725103988737 | "Obesity and poor diet is emerging as one of the biggest risk factors for a severe response to Covid-19 infection that can no longer be ignored." - Tim Spector, Professor of genetic epidemiology, King's College London. https://t.co/pVcsBOwmQE | 252 |
1411915311142559745 | The industry will use their usual strategy of deny and deflect, but the data are catching up. Diabetes, heart disease, fatty liver, tooth decay—all proven to be caused by ultraprocessed food. And we’re close to adding cancer and dementia to that list. https://t.co/pEXnSr1Eu4 | 246 |
1422126564666396673 | Sugar inhibits three mitochondrial enzymes—AMP kinase, ACADL and CPT-1, all necessary for neurons to burn energy. No surprise sugar is linked to Alzheimer’s—it’s a chronic dose-dependent neurotoxin. https://t.co/gAEb1cvNEC | 245 |
1133253133646229504 | In case you haven't gotten the message already. https://t.co/5CsCTYM8dL | 226 |
996102975096471552 | "There is no scientific evidence that supports the concept that dairy processed to remove dairy fat is healthier than the original, unadulterated product." In fact, evidence suggests full-fat dairy is protective. https://t.co/818IdVuQo9 | 225 |
1194672714021142528 | Grateful for more research confirming that #fructose is bad news for your #liver, but, why oh why does the article end with a reference to developing a drug that blocks fructose metabolism and not cutting fructose from our food supply / diet to begin with? https://t.co/9JnfWb5z2X | 222 |

1602929564501647361 | Science is getting lost in the hateful rhetoric on Twitter; no longer a safe space. Hence, this account will shut down at the end of 2022. There is no perfect media channel, but for now, please find me on Facebook (@DrRobertLustig) and Instagram (@robertlustigmd). Thank you. | 680 |
