It seems all of the diet and fitness programs we’ve tried didn’t work. Aside from the money spent for enrolling in our favorite gym, we’ve been missing the taste of the foods we love to eat. Then, we will look in the mirror and blame all the fats we have eaten in the past.
In a press conference held recently at the Shangri-la Hotel in Makati City, Dr. Robert H. Lustig, a professor at the Division of Endocrinology in University of California, San Francisco stressed that for 45 years, fats have been wrongly demonized when all the while the real culprits have been sugar, refined carbs and processed foods.

My point today is to give you a different view of what the problem is so that you will not be taken in by standard food industry propaganda. We’re here to expose you to the real problem in terms you all understand. In order to do so, I have to explain this phenomenon here called metabolic syndrome,” Lustig said.
Metabolic syndrome according to Mayo Clinic is “a cluster of conditions—increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels—that occur together, increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Having just one of these conditions doesn’t mean you have metabolic syndrome. However, any of these conditions increase your risk of serious disease. Having more than one of these might increase your risk even more.
