This week we get to unlock the secret to better health with Dr. Richard Johnson, a leading mind in the field of sugar metabolism, as he reveals the hidden dangers of fructose and its surprising role in metabolic diseases. Dive into the science of sugars and uncover the biological mechanisms that make fructose a stealthy culprit for obesity. While fruits like dates and figs may seem harmless, their high fructose content is a concern, especially when consumed in juices. Dr. Johnson demystifies the connection between sugar and fat storage, and why the body mistakenly believes it's low on energy, leading to weight gain.

Explore the fascinating interplay between fructose, salt, and carbohydrates, and learn how these elements influence blood pressure and metabolic health. Discover why a low-carb or keto diet might be your best defense against the adverse effects of salt and uric acid. We also navigate the world of sugar substitutes, with a spotlight on allulose, a promising alternative. We also discuss Dr. Johnson's informative book  "Nature Wants Us to Be Fat" for further reading on this critical healthcare topic.
