RE: What You Need To Know About Sugar
Sugar is a double-edged sword. My philosophy is "everything in moderation". Luckily, I don't need to watch my weight, and I never feel guilty for eating a sweet treat. Fizzy drinks are not only bad because of sugar. There's so much other crap in there, the sugar would probably be the least of my worries.
When you compare to the low sugar intake by ancient humans, have you come across articles talking about use of the brain? As far as I know, the brain is a sugar-dependent organ. It's the last one to switch to ketone metabolism in times of starvation. Do our modern lifestyle and work activities not require more brain activity, which might contribute to making our body crave sugar?
This is not true as I have found out in the past few months. There are things called ketone bodies that our brain can run off of in a much more efficient way than glucose (sugar).
Check out this video for a good overview.
Interesting video. Haven't thought/read about this topic since uni. Nice wee update.
