UCSF Sugar Study is International News - Previewed in SFMS journal November 5, 2015 San Francisco Medicine, UCSF childhood obesity, Robert Lustig, sugar 0 A team of UCSF researchers led by Robert Lustig, MD published groundbreaking research on the impact of dietary sugar—and reduction thereof—in improving health. The paper is being widely reported in the media. The New York Times noted: “Obese children who cut back on their sugar intake see improvements in their blood pressure, cholesterol readings and other markers of health after just 10 days, a rigorous new study found. The new research may help shed light on a question scientists have long debated: Is sugar itself harming health, or is the weight gain that comes from consuming sugary drinks and foods mainly what contributes to illness over the long term?” The SFMS’ San Francisco Medicine journal featured an interview with Dr. Lustig earlier this year wherein he previewed the just-completed research.
