Yes, I agree with you personally that refined foods are terrible for you long term, but is there an expert consensus on the issue? And I do not think there is a consensus on sugars in particular.
Regarding refined grains, do you have a take on house-hold breads? I mean, the breads are highly processed, and yet I do not know of an alternative for sandwiches and the like.
- tracker1 8y agoAside from paid shills of the sugar/soda industry and a bunch of junk research from the 60's, there's a pretty solid concensus that refined sugars (especially at modern diet levels) and in particular fructose is pretty damned bad for you.
- tracker1 8y agoUnfortunately, commercial breads are all very processed and far more bioavailable with less fiber than would be present pre industrial economy. I try to simply avoid it most of the time. Personally I stick to mostly greens, eggs, fish, meat M-W-F, fast Su-Tu-Th and more flexible in terms of what I eat (bread/pasta, fruit, etc) on Saturdays. M-W-F, fat coffee with protein in the AM, lunch, dinner keto macros. Tu-Th, fat coffee in the AM, only tea and water/saltwater the reset of the day. Saturday, eat 2 meals of whatever (within calories, usually under 150-200g carbs) Sunday, dry or water fast.
