A dietary practice that allows the liver a chance to burn off accumulated fat, aiding in diabetes reversal.

Chemicals that transmit signals in the brain; dopamine leads to pleasure and addiction, while serotonin contributes to happiness and contentment.

An enzyme stimulated by glucose, necessary for mitochondria to work and serving as a fuel gauge on liver cells; inhibited by fructose.

Fats with a double bond in the opposite direction, used by the food industry for stabilization and shelf life, now largely banned due to their danger.

Enzymes in mitochondria inhibited by fructose, affecting fatty acid burning and carnitine regeneration.

Dietary sugar, composed of one glucose molecule and one fructose molecule bound together.

An energy sufficiency hormone made in fat cells, signaling to the brain when enough energy is stored; insulin blocks leptin, leading to hunger and reduced physical activity.

Another form of diet that can help reverse type 2 diabetes.

Forever chemicals like Teflon, which cause obesity by themselves by promoting fat cell differentiation and growth.

Chemicals that mimic endogenous signals, altering tissue differentiation and growth, leading to issues like obesity, decreased fertility, and brain development problems.

Compounds like acetate, propionate, butyrate, produced by gut bacteria when they digest soluble fiber; butyrate is particularly helpful as an immune suppressant.

A cereal manufacturer that has been sued for similar misrepresentations as Kellogg's.

A health organization mentioned in the context of studies showing that type 2 diabetes is reversible through diet interventions.

A Middle Eastern food company (compared to Nestle) that approached Dr. Lustig to re-engineer their product portfolio to be metabolically healthy.

A food company whose lawsuit for mislabeling was dismissed.

One of a host of companies under pressure to change deceptive advertising and labeling practices.

A common beverage, often consumed by children, contributing significantly to high sugar intake.

A cereal sued for mislabeling sugar content, with raisins dipped in sugar solution to make them sweeter, exceeding declared sugar amounts.

Academic institution where Dr. Arrat Manigo-Oran conducts research on nutrition.

The Food and Drug Administration, which banned trans fats in 2013.

Hospital where Dr. Lustig conducted research on massively obese children with brain tumors, which led to his understanding of insulin's role in obesity.

A hospital in Cambridge, UK, known for its research on leptin deficiency.

The UK government during the 2000s, which successfully intervened to reduce sodium in ultra-processed foods by working with manufacturers, leading to a significant reduction in hypertension and stroke.

A study conducted at UCSF with 43 obese children with metabolic syndrome, showing significant metabolic and behavioral improvements after removing added sugar from their diets for 9 days, even with maintained calories.
