Robert Lustig | “Corporate Wealth or Public Health?”
February 4, 2020 Mountain Dew Mouth has been the scourge of dentists for decades. But there’s a new disease which affects even more people: Mountain Dew Liver. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) wasn’t even discovered until 1980; and now up to 40% of Americans suffer from it, and it is now the leading cause of liver transplantation. Especially children – 13% of autopsies in children show NAFLD; and 38% of obese children. This disease belies all our other chronic diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. And it is due to our excessive sugar consumption.
