Professor Robert Lustig is speaking at Emery Pharma's speaker series.

"Good food is medicine. Bad food needs medicine" Robert Lustig

Robert H. Lustig, M.D. is Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology at University of California, San Francisco, and Director of the Weight Assessment for Teen and Child Health (WATCH) Program at UCSF.

Professor Robert H. Lustig has made significant contributions to society through his research and advocacy focused on the impact of sugar consumption on human health. He is a prominent endocrinologist and pediatrician known for his work on the adverse effects of added sugars, particularly fructose, on metabolic health and the development of chronic diseases.

Lustig's research has shed light on the role of excessive sugar intake in the obesity epidemic and its connection to conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and fatty liver disease. He has highlighted the harmful effects of sugar on various aspects of human physiology, including subcellular pathologies, insulin resistance, and the promotion of de novo lipogenesis, which contributes to the accumulation of fat in the body.

Through his lectures, public appearances, and advocacy efforts, Lustig has raised awareness about the detrimental effects of sugar on human health and has advocated for policies to reduce sugar consumption. He has emphasized the importance of recognizing added sugars as a primary contributor to chronic diseases and has called for measures to address the sugar-laden food environment and improve public health.

Lustig is also known for his concept of "The Hateful or Grateful Eight," which refers to the eight factors that contribute to metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions associated with increased risk of chronic diseases. He has provided insights into the role of nutrition, including sugar, in the development and prevention of metabolic syndrome.

Overall, Professor Robert Lustig has made substantial contributions to society by advancing our understanding of the negative impact of sugar on human health and advocating for changes in public policy and individual behaviors to promote metabolic health and prevent chronic diseases.
