## Caption

100 lbs of sugar a year. In 1800, we ate five.

That is just one of the reframes robertlustigmd and I get into on the latest episode of thedanbuettnerpodcast. We cover why sugar explains 80% of how long we’re going to live, how it hits your brain exactly like cocaine, and why a bowl of Fruit Loops is more than triple the daily sugar limit for a 10-year-old.

The Hateful Eight, the eight cellular breakdowns that make up the rest, are shortening every American life.

Grounded, science-backed answers for a longer, healthier life.

Full episode wherever you get your podcasts or on YouTube. Link in bio.
