That doesn't explain why it's bad

  Insulin will seize sugar from your blood to store it your cell reserves. You are basically forcing yourself to store fat, and require more sugar, instead of using what you have. https://iubmb.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/bmb.21031 https://iubmb.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/bmb.2...

    You're just explaining a normal metabolic process, not explaining why it's bad and insulin doesn't necessarily make you crave anything Insulin gets released after every meal

      You are just playing dumb, are you. :) If you want to know why it's bad, eat a bunch of sweets and tell me how do you feel after!

        No, I'm a biochemist. I need to know the mechanism. The mechanism is important for understanding why and how something happens in a biological system, sorry I just don't take people's word at face value You could have said something like "eating foods that continuously spike glucose could possibly cause an eventual desensitization to insulin by causing down regulation of insulin receptors" But you don't get to type 2 diabetes by eating potatoes Potatoes are not sweets.
