I was astounded to hear how much sugar is added to sushi rice at a recent presentation I attended by a top Sushi in Boston. He recommended to add 1/4 cup sugar to 4 cups of rice. I had always thought of sushi as a relatively healthy food, but this revelation made me think twice.
I have been particularly sensitive to the poison of sugar after watching Dr. Robert Lustig's lecture, "Sugar: The Bitter Truth," on YouTube. As I wrote in the JOOS newsletter, it's worth the highly educational 90-minute discussion of the nuances of fructose biochemistry and human physiology.
Lustig is a specialist on pediatric hormone disorders and the leading expert in childhood obesity at the University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine, which is one of the best medical schools in the country. He published his first paper on childhood obesity a dozen years ago, and he has been treating patients and doing research on the disorder ever since.
