To Our Dear Followers on YouTube,
At Emery Pharma, our core mission is to support the development of safe and effective drugs through rigorous drug development and analytical testing. But our interests go beyond that—we are deeply invested in understanding the products already on the market, how they are used, and whether they are truly safe. We also have a strong passion for food science, particularly how food impacts our bodies and how the industry often hides behind calorie counts.
To explore these critical topics, we’ve hosted leading experts, including Dr. Robert Lustig and other renowned, science-based speakers who advocate for good habits and evidence-based science.
This coming Tuesday at 11 AM PT, we are featuring Dr. Bill Wilson, author of Brain Drain and a leading expert on the connection between carbohydrates and neurological issues, including Carb Syndrome. He will share his insights on this condition, but our main focus will be on GLP-1 and GIP agonists—their safety, impact, benefits, and risks.
At Emery Pharma, we’ve conducted analytical chemistry on GLP-1 peptides, giving us firsthand familiarity with these compounds. We had the opportunity to discuss these topics with Dr. Wilson in a Zoom session last month, and we’re excited to share it with you. We hope you enjoy this insightful discussion!

ONCE AGAIN! The BELOW video will be released this COMING Wednesday July 24, 2024 at 2 PM ET. Please make sure to watch this video to the end. There is an engaging Q&A session between Professor Lustig and his audience members (mostly scientists) that provides valuable insights. The core message of Professor Lustig's presentation is eye-opening: 500 calories from sugar have a far more detrimental effect on your health than 500 calories from almonds or walnuts. This crucial fact could revolutionize the perspectives of physicians, dieticians, and health-conscious individuals. Understanding this difference is vital for grasping the underlying causes of metabolic syndrome and the alarming rise in diabetes and other health issues. By highlighting the severe impacts of sugar calories compared to healthier options, Professor Lustig’s talk sheds light on the critical changes needed in dietary recommendations and public health policies. This presentation is essential for anyone looking to understand the root causes of our current health crisis.

To our loyal subscribers, we’re excited to announce Professor Lustig’s latest presentation at Emery Pharma on the topic of " Growing up with Obesity" will be posted to our channel this coming Wednesday at 11 AM Pacific Time (2 PM ET) and 7 PM GMT. During this presentation he further argues that fructose act more like an obesogen than a typical carbohydrate (sugar), and further discusses why all calories are not created equal. This is a crucial topic at Emery Pharma, as we are committed to fact-based, science-driven discussions.
At Emery we aim to stay clear of anecdotal evidence, hearsay, misinformation, disinformation and infomercials!
We appreciate your support and hope you continue to subscribe to our channel. We believe this discussion will contribute to a longer, healthier life. Stay tuned!
A brief summary of the upcoming video:
Dr. Lustig, a pediatric endocrinologist and renowned expert on sugar's metabolic impacts, spoke at Emery Pharma about the complex causes of obesity. He criticized the conventional energy balance model, which suggests obesity is due to overeating and inactivity, as well as the carbohydrate-insulin model, which blames high-glycemic foods and insulin. Instead, Lustig proposed a more comprehensive approach involving environmental chemicals, called obesogens, which interfere with metabolic processes and increase fat storage.
Lustig highlighted that obesogens, found in everyday items like plastics and processed foods, disrupt normal hormone signaling and metabolism, leading to weight gain without increasing caloric intake. He emphasized the critical impact of these chemicals during prenatal and early childhood development, potentially predisposing individuals to obesity later in life. This is evident in the rising birth weights and fat mass in newborns exposed to these chemicals.
Lustig also discussed how modern diets, particularly those high in fructose, contribute significantly to obesity by increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells, which mislead the body into storing more fat. He called for a shift from focusing solely on calorie counting to considering the quality of food and its metabolic effects.
To address obesity, Lustig recommended removing fructose from the diet, as it is a major obesogen that can be controlled more easily than other environmental chemicals. He argued that understanding and mitigating the impact of obesogens, alongside dietary changes, could provide a more effective strategy for preventing obesity. Lustig's insights underscore the need for both policy changes and public education to tackle the obesity epidemic comprehensively.
