How can honey be healthy if sugar makes up nearly all of it's contents?
How can maple syrup be healthy if sugar makes up nearly all of it's contents?
How can molasses be healthy if sugar makes up nearly all of it's contents?
How can sorghum be healthy if sugar makes up nearly all of it's contents?

Defending sugar on nostr... bold move
I like it 😎
Refined sugar is the horror show. Totally agree with that
I like to replace with coconut sugar when baking
Or honey and maple syrup as you say
How can refined sugar be a horror show when 99% of honey, maple syrup, mollasses, and sorghum is sugar?
not all "sugar" is the same. honey/molasses have nutrients that help metabolize fructose/glucose alongside; HFCS doesn't.
Yes, but is their 1% of unique nutrients enough to offset their 99% sugar?
If sugar is so bad, then why not refine our the 1% of unique nutrients, eliminating the sugar?
Because 150g per day of them would kill you.
Conversely, why bother with nutritious sweeteners at all when we can have industrial 100% pure sugar all the time?
In the same way that there are different types of money, with different properties, there are different types of sugar
The closer to a natural ingredient you get the better. Eg honey or maple
White sugar, or refined sugar, or whatever processed sugar you might find, has a significant adverse impact on your health vs a natural sugar
Okay, what about evaporated cane sugar?
Is that "processed" any more than maple syrup?
Part of my health and food awakening involved realizing that it's not sugar that causes all the issues. It's insulin resistance and excessive consumption.
Yes, and metabolic dysfunction is caused by seed oils and other industrial food substitutes.
Sugar is metabolically protective.

Monocotyledons are cow food.
