I only take issue with the perfectly insulin sensitive crowd insisting that ketosis isn't just a useful backup metabolism, but rather our optimal metabolism, and also that raising blood sugar (and insulin as a result) is a one-two punch that gives people diabetes. There's no support for such an idea outside of Good Calories, Bad Calories, and he misinterpreted/manipulated/ignored research and his theory isn't true. So...

Sometimes personal bias can cloud rational thinking. however most of the time Institutional Bias is the boogie man.

we live a a sugar saturated society. moving from the top of the sign wave to the bottom is concidered extreme.

however just consider this

Last time i looked we have only one method of converting sugar into fat. while we have about 6 to convert fat into sugar. additionally converting sugar into fat produces serious toxins which must be cleared from the system.

I do think that we are designed to exist on fat and protein. I do not begrudge anyone who can or chooses to eat sugar/glucose ( call it what you want. it is all sugar in the end) but i do think that they would be better off without it... after all only our brain requires glucose. the rest of the body works far easier without it...


A mans Fat should exceed his Sugar else whats a liver for
