Well, again, there are only a few people who can get by being sugar-burners without consequences to health (I refer to them here as the 1%). The rest of the Western population has no business eating sugar other than in real moderation (almost no one in modern times practices real moderation, i.e., one piece of cake each year on your birthday).
Discussion
I am one of those people. But I choose not to take the weaklings route of “eating whatever I want” just bc I can. Discipline and accepting reality is much more important to me.
And I'm unfortunately not. But I learned better.
Also, you and I know when we refer to sugar it's the umbrella term that includes starch from vegetables & grains as well. These ding-dongs like to try to differentiate, when the body treats it all the same. My body doesn't know a whole grain bagel from a Snicker's bar from a potato from a pineapple. Unless you're some type of indigenous human on another part of the equator in a rustic area, that is.
This is all thanks to the modern bullshit paradigm / pyramid of the last 40-50 years, scarcely anyone alive knows any different. These people would prefer to think just because they got away scot-free with it, everyone else should, too. It only enables people into being victims of addiction to UPF & unnecessary "whole" foods masquerading as healthy for people who shouldn't have them (insulin resistant/TOFI, overweight, obese, or what-have-you)
