Mark Hyman on Added Sugar: warns against

Hyman warns that sugar drives the metabolic crisis. On Huberman Lab, he quantified that Americans consume approximately 152 pounds of sugar and 133 pounds of flour per person annually — figures he presented as his own — and when asked whether fat or sugar is worse, he answered starch and sugar “by a huge factor.”

His stated reasoning, consistent with his Eat Fat, Get Thin thesis, is that refined carbohydrates — not dietary fat — are the primary driver of obesity and metabolic disease. Sugar sits at the top of his elimination list in the 10-Day Detox, and his Pegan framework limits even natural sugars to low-glycemic berries. (All claims are Hyman’s, presented in his voice per house rules.)
