Episode notes

For a long time, when I wrote my book about the carnivore diet, I mean, your friend emailed me and said, when you come around to carbs, let me know. And there's a lot of literature about fructose that looks bad, primarily in animal studies with mice or rats. Robert Lustig has done some studies in teenagers who are using fructose sugar, sweetened beverages. It looks like they improve their metabolic function when they cut these things out. Rick Johnson has done studies where people, there's two groups of people, it's all hypocaloric but the processed fructose group does well.

In today’s episode, Paul chats with Bioenergetic Health researcher, Georgi Dinkov. They jump down the rabbit hole on a myriad of topics, including the distinction between table sugar and high-fructose corn syrup, how starch damages the gut, polyunsaturated fatty acids, sunlight, emfs and more. Sit back, relax and put on your open-minded thinking cap–you might learn a thing or two.
