Ep# 123: Sugar is Medicine

In this episode, Dr. Kashey tackles the topic of sugar and its impact on health. He starts by questioning whether sugar is about prescriptions or proscriptions. He discusses the importance of getting children to bed on time and how it is linked to the repetitive stupidity of public policies and public shaming. Dr. Kashey then talks about the concept of healthy food. He highlights how malnutrition is the underlying cause of about half of the deaths of children five and under. Interestingly, he argues that the World Health Organization recommends sugar to treat those conditions and shares a simple recipe for saving lives. Dr. Kashey further talks about how policymakers are trying to scare people into compliance, and argues that the perceived toxicity of sugar is really proportional to how metabolically frail people make themselves.
