Paul Saladino MD podcast 199. Is all sugar bad for you? High fructose corn syrup vs fruit & honey
Ketosis Causes Insulin Resistance
- Ketosis induces physiological insulin resistance, protecting glucose for vital organs.
- This differs fundamentally from pathological insulin resistance in diabetes.
Add Carbs for Better Health
- Include carbohydrates in your diet to improve hormones, sleep, and electrolyte balance.
- Don't fear post-meal blood sugar rises; they are not inherently harmful.
Carbs Don't Cause Diabetes
- Carbohydrates do not cause diabetes; metabolic dysfunction and fat tissue issues do.
- Elevated blood sugar is a symptom, not the diabetes cause.
In today’s podcast, Paul talks all about sugar, and why all sugar is not created equally. He talks about the benefits of including carbohydrates in your diet via honey, maple syrup, and fruit, especially if you are a recovering keto or carnivore dieter. He then dives deep on refined sugar, specifically high fructose corn syrup, and why you should avoid those at all costs.
