Comparing things in isolation like that is not very useful because you need other nutrients too. If a person ate 1800 calories from milk, orange juice and some amount of white sugar, honey etc. I don't think they would be more likely to develop insulin insensitivity. Sugar shouldn't be eaten alone. I'm not sure if this is true, but Ray Peat here claims that potassium has a similar role to insulin, so eating fruits and milk won't negatively affect your blood sugar as much - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYAihAkCaw8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYAihAkCaw8
- jbaber 3y agoCertainly. Lots of ways to blunt sugar's effects on blood-sugar by eating it with something else. And this can be specific to individuals. Apples don't impact me much at all, but do for other people. My contrived sugar-cube-diet is dumb. I only mean, if insulin resistance is a problem you want to avoid, don't demand your body produce tons of insulin all the time to counter consuming things that spike blood-sugar. I'm only weirded out by the specific "Type 2 diabetes is not caused by sugar, but by genetics and lifestyle factors." when the "lifestyle factors" listed in the pamphlet include diets high in sugar.
