People who don’t eat sugar have inferior brains

Not only does it fix your thyroid, hormones, & metabolism...but fuels so many bodily functions

Those who listened in high school science class will get it

But still most can’t grasp that the body REQUIRES glucose

On a sugarless diet, the body is forced to take glucose from its protein & fat storage. (Gymbros do you realize that takes away from your gains) This impairs the thyroid & metabolism. Not to mention it’s just plain stressful for the body.

Very bad.

Sugar: heals the thyroid through conversion of T4 to T3, boosts metabolism, protects against cancer, cures PCOS, lowers serotonin, lowers stress, communicates abundance instead of hibernation, increases energy, heightens temperature, shields against endotoxin, fires up the prefrontal cortex, protects the liver from alcohol damage, develops babies’ brains during pregnancy, fuels tissue, topically treats wounds, encourages deep sleep, prevents scar formation, & has an antibiotic effect

Cerebrose is a crucial brain sugar. Turns out it's *identical* to galactose, the fruit/milk sugar. 

Galactose fuels brain function, protects memory, heals metabolism, shields against cavities, & stops lactic acid production in the body. (Lactic acid is made when glucose isn’t efficiently oxidized—which causes cancer over time.) 

Galactose has a low glycemic index, so it doesn’t raise blood sugar / insulin. Meaning it can help also reverse insulin resistance. Lesson: eat fruit, drink milk.

It’s not sugar that causes diabetes, but estrogen, polyunsaturated fats, & stress. Those 3 impair the body’s ability to use glucose correctly. 

Eating excess starch, due to its high glycemic index, is the bigger cause of high blood sugar (another case where sugar is falsely accused.)

Without adequate sugar we see: PCOS, muscle atrophy, chronic stress, fatigue, slowed metabolism, lower temperature, hair loss/greying, serotonin overload, weakened thyroid & immune system, & the inability to assimilate proteins to build muscle. Plus the vital thymus gland shrinks, as it is forced to be used as an energy source instead of sugar.

A modern diet containing food additives & seed oils is what raised disease rates, but sugar is still blamed. People have been eating pure white sugar for thousands of years. Such a health epidemic didn't arise until the toxic shelf-stable foods did. Seed oils make up about 30% of Americans’ calories and you think sugar is the problem?

And sugar cravings? Those indicate a bodily need. Thirst invites hydration. Shivering asks for warmth. Yawning wants sleep. Sugar cravings demand bodily fuel—not seed oil-filled sweets—but pure white sugar, honey, fruit, OJ, dates, maple syrup, etc

BUT—in the modern world, many have lost the ability to efficiently use sugar. The bioenergetic view recognizes that the inability to oxidize glucose for energy is at the core of degenerative diseases, not sugar itself.

So what can we add to our diets to help a fallen nation tolerate sugar again?

• potassium, which aids in our ability to use glucose/carbs effectively
• cut out pufas, which pose as blockage in the process of metabolizing sugar
• focus on lowering inflammation through vitamin D & calcium
• get adequate magnesium through epsom salt baths, topical spray, or a supplement
• lower stress bc it elevates blood glucose
• take antioxidant-rich aspirin for better insulin sensitivity

"Fructose limits insulin secretion, but intensifies metabolism, burning calories faster."
-Dr. Ray Peat

Sugar is 50% glucose, 50% fructose

Sugar puts life on easy mode
