I started getting mad about 6 months ago when I was noticing glucose syrup in everything, so I started avoiding certain brands, foods.... then I stopped eating anything with added sugar.

No regrets.

All I eat is meat, veg, eggs, fruit, yoghurt, nuts etc.
I also remember about yogurt having to report carbs in an odd way. When you make yogurt, the culture consumes lactose to essentially become yogurt, but they have to label the initial sugars that were present in the milk. Maybe this has been changed, I'm not sure. I decided to cut my dairy to only cheese and butter.

That's good, better with sharp cheese.

Butter from my understanding is OK, even better if it's grass fed.

Not to be a dik, but I randomly skipped through the first 20min and found a few things that were incorrect just off the top of my head.

Also, glucose is a necessity for you to live, so...

I guess I'll stick to what I know is the truth based on widely taught scientific fact and mosey on out of this slightly misinformed thread

Edit: not gonna make a case against staying away from processed foods being beneficial to your health though. that's a no brainer

Your body turns food into glucose, we get it.

That in no way means that exogenous sugar is good for you.

Still blows my mind that countries with free healthcare ( Canada) tax the chit out of smokes/booze because of the health effects they have towards the healthcare system but wont tax sugar products.

Drinking a can of coke a day is worse than a can of beer. Fact.

Food manufacturers give us what we want...not what “they cram down our throats”...it’s about education and personal choice and many don’t want to accept that.

New zealand, australian and european cheese is by default grass fed, or at least it used to be. I tend to load up on that. Right now I've been digging Castello's havarti from denmark, so ****ing good.

I'm only doing it to spike my T3 levels. I actually don't crave carbs, but if there's one carb I love it's mashed potatoes. Probably a weird cheat for most but mashed potatoes and gravy has always been one of my fav all time foods.

Too much sugar is bad. It must be balanced properly and it is unbalanced in diabetics. The high sugar bonds to nerves, the small nerve fibers are affected first, the smallest nerves are in the feet, hands, and brain. This is why diabetics get neuropathy (numbess, burning, tingling) in a stocking and glove pattern. Right now it is hypothesized that high (unbalanced) sugar also effects the brain the same as other nerves. After all the brain is all nerves, and glucose is not blocked by the blood brain barrier. Imo diabetic dementia will soon be discussed in peer reviews journals now that diabetics make up such a large portion of the population.

Empty calories devoid of nutrients. You can do better.

Well you don't really need any sugar but your system can process a limited amount with little to no long-term detrimental effects.

Artificial sweeteners in moderation. However, that's also true about fruit juices which come with other things like fiber that mitigate the absorption of their sugar. That's the real difference between sugar in food and table sugar.

What's your point? The sugar in a banana is mostly fructose. Your quasi-wisdom is lost on me.

I've already addressed fructose and what actual studies have concluded regarding the negative effects...there's nothing wrong with fructose...in moderation (less than 50 grams per day ~ 7 or so pieces of fruit).
