Do you mean excessive glucose? I doubt glucose is poisonous, seeing how simple and basic the krebs cycle is.
- ravenstine 4y agoGlucose is toxic. Granted, even water is toxic at some level, but that threshold for toxicity is much higher than that of glucose. Glucose is a fundamental part of the Krebs cycle, yes, and is not a problem if that glucose is managed and regulated. By default, the human body manages glucose very well. When that system is disrupted either by consuming exogenous carbohydrates as well as consuming carbs and fats together simultaneously, said system begins to fail and that's what can lead to all sorts of problems involving blood sugar. See Table 1 of "Glucose Toxicity": https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK278934/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK278934/ Unmanaged glucose is toxic to every tissue in the body.
