Your body is fooled into thinking it detects rising blood sugars, releasing insulin. But there is no rise in sugar, which might lead to hypoglycemia. At least, that's a plausible hypothesis. I think that has been confirmed in research,

Exactly this. It takes some work to set up, but the reward is plenty. At least the bare minimum tools are available to enable this. In addition, what other platform even lets you block the advertisers, giving you at least some deciding powe
