Hey Dr Berg here in this video we're going to talk about the most common cause of disease.

What I believe is the real underlying root issue.

And yes, you guessed it, it's sugar, but let me just explain the mechanism

what occurs in the body.

The average person in the US consumes 140 pounds of sugar in the US consumes 140 pounds of sugar in their diet every single year.

But that doesn't even count the hidden sugars from the breads pasta, cereal,

crackers, biscus, waffles, wine, alcohol, baby food, it's in everything.

I mean that's just outrageous.

So what happens is all that sugar gets into your bloodstream and then there's a hormone called

insulin and what it does is it basically just pulls the sugar out of the blood

and insulin is made by a gland called the pancreas. Now the pancreas

has these little cells called beta cells, right? Beta cells are the cell that makes the insulin that lowers the sugar.

Now it gets the sugar out because you're too much sugar is deadly.

Our bodies were never designed to consume that much concentrated sugar. I had a patient come in the other

day. She's consuming two liters of juice a day. Another patient consuming a six-pack of soda every single day, not every single week.

And they're not even 8 ounces, they're actually 12 ounces. There's 6 12-ounce sodas a day.

I don't know how she's alive.
