| I've listened to about half of each and I think I believe the spotify / Lustig argument more. For example, around 25:00 Lustig claims... "[fructose in] fruit is okay because of the fiber and the fiber is what mitigates the absorption
[...]
you're feeding your microbiome. that frucose isn't for you."
And arouvd 10:50 Layne counters that "I could find no evidence that fiber inhibits the absorption of fructose"
But searching for "fiber slows glucose absorption" on google scholar gives me a few frequently cited results [1], making me doubt Layne's research.Also in terms of background, Lustig is a professor guest starring on a podcast sponsored by various companies (including one that sells supplements [2] [3]) versus Layne who runs a company that sells workout guides / supplements [4]. Not to say there's any obvious conflict of interest here, but I think the professor actively involved in research has more credibility. --- > [the 30kcal] has to come out somewhere else, or it’s going to stay in there. That's a good point. I'd love to know what the practical difference between my gut bacteria consuming energy vs rest-of-me consuming energy is too. But yeah Lustig saying sugar was as addictive as heroin also raised a red flag for me. Maybe true in a technical sense but definitely shows he's trying to push a point (anti-corpo maybe?).
