What makes sugar different from other carbohydrates?
- Raidion 3y agoIt's really quick fuel that leads to an insulin spike that triggers more fat storage and eventually leads to insulin resistance.
- TurboHaskal 3y agoSugar is 50% fructose and 50% glucose. The user you mention advocates for a higher amount of fruit which has mostly fructose so my take on this is that he prefers his pancreas over his liver.
- incone123 3y agoEating whole fruit means you consume fiber at the same time as the sugar, so the latter is metabolized more safely.
- TurboHaskal 3y agoEating whole cake means you consume fat at the same time as the sugar, so the latter is metabolized more safely.
- incone123 3y agoCould you liquidize the cake and still get that benefit?
