Episode 2203 – On this Sunday’s show, Vinnie Tortorich and co-host Gina Grad chat about “the other Pumpkin”, sugars and A1C, lowering the bar, and more.
LOWERING THE BAR
- Gina starts the show by asking Vinnie why Anna was mad, and the Tale of Two Pumpkins is born. (1:30)
- Vinnie explains how it originated, and Gina (and Anna) is none too pleased. (5:00)
- The conversation then switches to additional information about sugar that Gina hadn’t realized. (5:50)
- She mentions what happens to your bowels when too much sugar is consumed, including fructose and both natural and artificial sweeteners. (6:30)
- Vinnie mentions how they are poison to the system, similar to how alcohol works; he explains. (8:00)
- Vinnie also tells Gina how the consumption of sugar since the 1800s has increased. (9:00)
- They also chat about how this has led to more recent developments of NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease).
- He explains what A1C is, how it works, and how the numbers have ultimately been altered, which is basically lowering the bar.
- He gives reasons why this doesn’t work, and how it allows for “stacking” medications.
- Gina asks what a high A1C for an extended period of time will do. (18:00)
- This leads to Vinnie summarizing the story behind Dr. Gary Fettke.
- So at best, sugar can give you diarrhea, and at worse causes amputations. (21:50)
