    Sugar is only toxic when you get it from refined sources. When you consume whole, intact foods, in a balanced diet, sugar is totally fine and literally our primary fuel source. Our metabolic system prefers sugar as fuel so greatly that it 1) will use it over fat if available, and 2) will break down proteins in the body to get more glucose if deprived of it.

    How’s that acetone breath by the way?

      Acetone breath? Nice argumentation.

      You’re just repeating what I said in another way:

      1. yes, it will use it over fat, because it’s bad for us, so smartly we’ll use it up ASAP.

      2. yes, other things (fat) will be used if you do not eat sugar.

      Sugar is sugar, your idea about “natural” has no foothold in science, it’s the glycemic index you want.

      Also, if your diet is your primary “fuel source” I wouldn’t like to be your arteries.
