Outside of work, Michael likes to play tennis, and hang out with his family which typically involves cooking, eating, going on walks and travel. In this episode, Michael talks about why he decided to focus on sugar addiction towards children. For the last thirty years, this has been Michael’s sole focus; he speaks about what he has learned about kids and sugar throughout his many years as an expert in the field. We talk about the importance of breastfeeding and how breastfeeding for twelve months can have massive benefits to your children. Tune in as we speak about nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, why kids need to ditch added sugars, and what’s really in Coca-Cola products.

[00:30] Why Michael Decided To Focus on Sugar Addiction Towards Children Michael has been doing sugar addiction in children research exclusively for the last 30 years. Michael wanted to learn about chronic diseases and how they started in childhood. At the end of the day, he found a lot of very interesting information about sugar and how to modify it. Michael wanted to get that information out there to the public. If someone is diabetic, that didn’t happen over the past year. Instead, they have been eating a poor diet for the last ten to fifteen years. Get Sugarproof: The Hidden Dangers of Sugar That Are Putting Your Child's Health at Risk and What You Can Do: https://www.amazon.com/Sugarproof-Hidden-Dangers-Putting-Childs/dp/0525541195/benazadi-20 [04:40] Options For Babies As They Get Off of Breast Milk The food companies are doing a great job at basically hijacking the innate preferences that babies have. Babies are actually born with a built-in preference for sweetness. It’s supposed to help them seek out good-tasting foods. Food companies know that babies and kids prefer sweetness. So that's why 80% of kids’ foods have some type of added sugars. Breast milk does have carbohydrates. Lactose is built from glucose and galactose. However, there's no fructose in natural mother's milk. It's the introduction of fructose that starts to cause problems as well as added sugar. [07:50] When Moms Should Start To Wean The Baby Off of Breast Milk The recommendation is six months. However, there are studies that demonstrate the longer the duration of breastfeeding, the more likely you are to prevent obesity. Plus, the longer you breastfeed, you will promote brain development. If a mom breastfeeds for more than twelve months, those babies are highly protected from obesity, even if they consume high amounts of sugary beverages as a toddler. [10:55] A Calorie Isn’t Always A Calorie: 90% of Fructose Is Cleared By The Liver Sucrose, which is ordinary table sugar, is what we call a disaccharide. It's a glucose molecule connected to a fructose molecule; both are identical chemically. Glucose is used everywhere in the body for energy. The liver filters out almost 90% of fructose. The liver's job is to filter things out that it doesn't want in the blood. The liver will take fructose and convert it to fat. The most common form of liver disease is nonalcoholic, and that nonalcoholic contributor is fructose. [18:10] Recommendations For Adults and Children Who Have Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Sugar elimination can rapidly deplete the liver of its fat quite quickly. It only takes seven to eight days. That’s why Michael has a seven-day no added sugar challenge. Learn more about the challenge by getting Michael’s book here: https://www.amazon.com/Sugarproof-Hidden-Dangers-Putting-Childs/dp/0525541195/benazadi-20 You should do the challenge right after the holidays. It’s a great way to get fat out of the liver. Kids need to reset their bodies and taste preferences. Weight loss is also important for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. We get so amped up on sugar, we begin to crave it more and more. Cut it out! [21:00] There Are Over 200 Names For Caloric Sugars The current count is about 260 or 270. Food companies are developing healthy-sounding names for sugar. Here are some examples: Organic brown rice syrup Evaporated cane juice Agave nectar Fruit juice concentrates Some of the fruit sugars can have even more fructose and high fructose corn syrup. Gatorade is a fake healthy drink. [23:40] What’s Happening To Children When They Consume Less Sugar Kids are more intelligent if they eat less sugar. With less sugar, kids can expect to have these benefits: Perform better on academic tests Better memory Better sleep More focus [32:15] How Much Fructose Is Really In Coca-Cola? Michael Did The Research Michael wanted to know what was in Coca-Cola. Products say high fructose corn syrup; we don't actually know what that is. The food industry says it's marginally more fructose than glucose in their products. Michael went to the supermarket and got all kinds of drinks. He sent them off to the lab. About 65% of the sugars are fructose. Michael presented this information six years ago. The food industry told him that his research was invalid. However, they couldn’t prove how. Remember, more fructose causes a lot of problems in the body. [35:25] True or False: It’s Impossible To Be Addicted To Sugar Here are some of the criteria for addiction: Withdrawal Side effects Difficult to give up If you look at the criteria for addiction, they stand true for sugar. It makes no sense that qualified professional dietitians would say that sugar is not addictive. About 40% of the Academy of Dietetics and Nutrition funding comes from big food companies. [45:15] What’s Next For Michael In 2022 Michael is wondering why certain populations have the highest rates of obesity, diabetes, and fatty liver. He wants to come up with Latino-specific strategies, protocols, and interventions. Plus, Michael is going to continue to develop more recipes for his fans. AND MUCH MORE!
