so i’m scrolling through my youtube videos  and someone made this comment my mom is  

really skinny and she eats sugar so what’s up  with that so let’s do a video on that topic  

being overweight is only one of the effects of  consuming sugar and refined carbohydrates there’s  

something called skinny fat and there’s two  different terms that describe skinny fat one is  

tofi which stands for thin on the outside fat on  the inside many people who are skinny yet they’re  

consuming a lot of sugar have a fatty liver  unless you do an ultrasound you’re not going to  

necessarily pick it up it doesn’t always show up  in a large gut it might be a smaller little pooch  

then you have another condition called m-o-n-w  metabolically obese but with the normal weight  

okay a really important test to really  pick this up if someone’s consuming sugar  

is to have them do an a1c test which would  measure the average amount of sugar over a  

period of three months and it should really be  below 5.5 ish but a lot of times it’ll be like  

7 8 9 10 11 and that just tells you the person  is going right into diabetes if not already there  

another test is the cac test coronary artery  calcification test it’s a very quick test very  

important it is one of the best tests to predict  mortality from all causes and it picks up how much  

calcium is clogging up the coronary artery on your  heart which is a direct effect of consuming sugar  

and then homa ir this is a insulin resistance  test very few doctors even know about it  

but this would actually pick up insulin resistance  and also if you’re going right into diabetes  

eventually it could take some time diabetes takes  maybe 15 20 even 30 years before it develops so  

you start here and then you end up years later  with this situation so it might not show up  

on the outside but your liver starts to becoming  fatty inflamed and eventually cirrhosis it affects  

the brain there’s studies that show it starts to  affect dementia forgetfulness cognitive problems  

also clots clogged arteries of the  heart the eyes cataracts glaucoma  

loss of vision macular degeneration and kidney  problems they start developing high blood pressure  

uh things like that and there are actually  3 million skinny diabetics in the usa so  

just because someone is skinny doesn’t  mean they’re healthy thanks for watching
