Fox News (Main-stream Media) Now Admitting That Cutting Sugar Is Bad For Health & Gut

https://www.foxnews.com/health/zero-sugar-problems-study-reveals-surprising-gut-health-effects

So not a surprise to me about these "findings", because even myself as a researcher, I have known about this for the longest time.

For example, I have known the truth that the conditions such as "Diabetes" are not caused by Sugar in and of itself, but by gut imbalances or problems, perhaps through Antibiotics, Stress or other factors which make the Gut and your Pancreas unable to cope with Large amounts of sugar.

But, the fact is that Sugar, even the processed  "Table Sugar" are actually still far healthier and more essential even compared to the Starchy carbs like Bread or Rice and other ingredients, which often have toxins in them.

Sugar does not have any toxins in it, and in some cases has beneficial trace minerals, especially in its purest and unprocessed form.

Sugar, is simply ENERGY. It is a Macro-Nutrient, although not often thought of as one, it is, but it has very little micro-nutrients. If sugar were so bad for us, I'm sure almost all the animals out there would avoid this stuff like the plague, as they even avoid things like Salt, Chocolate or other Spices which they instinctively know are dangerous.

We can actually LIVE without micro-nutrients, but you absolutely cannot live without macro-nutrients, so for example, if someone does not maintain a sufficient level of saturated fat consumption from animals, and they also simultaneously have little to no sugar, they will be severely deficient in energy reserves and that will lead to detrimental health.

Even in the "wild", Humans never had over-abundance access to saturated fat from most animals, as many animals we'd hunt, tended to be more lean. It would either need to be a very big animal or many animals would need to be hunted or the type of species varying in the factor, to meet all necessary fat requirements for the Human Diet, and in fact, that is what led our species to also Domesticating and raising cattle, although a story for a whole other day.

One of the ways we can know FOR SURE that avoiding sugar is detrimental towards health, and you need to forget all the lies about Sugar aging your skin or causing wrinkles, in fact the opposite is true.

Sugar provides one of the largest transport methods for Hydration to get into your body cells, and so this is why drinking water or tea or other things without sugar, leave someone feeling bloated and even thirstier, because the fluid does not get transported.

Sugar plays a large role in the metabolism.

To any extent that Sugar is really "bad" for us, just has more to do with it being mostly empty calories, so obviously you would not want to exceed your calories of intake compared to Nutrient Dense foods that are required for micro-nutrients in the body, but also the Macro-nutrients like Fats and Proteins.

For certain, if one's diet say was over 50% sugar compared to Fats and Proteins from Meats lets say, then they would definitely suffer noticeable issues from that imbalance, because it would be an extreme diet, and Sugar unfortunately does not have an effect on building Muscle Mass or repairing the body in the way that Protein does. But it sure would be nice if it did...

Also, the gut bacteria feed off of sugar, and while someone could develop a gut imbalance where less desirable bacteria begin feeding off of sugar, Sugar and Fibers are beneficial for the gut in the fact that it promotes health flora and fauna to flourish.

I think that the lies about or against sugar are just as harmful as the idea that Saturated Fat such as from Butter and Meats, were told to be "unhealthy" for us.

The key about "sugars" is the source or type of Sugar that they are, for example, Sucrose versus Fructose.

There are benefits in the Fructose that comes from Fruits along with other nutrients in them, but the issue with Fructose is that it hits the liver harder compared to regular Sucrose, including Table Sugar itself.

I don't know a single person who avoided sugar in their lives who is "healthy".

Even if one does maintain a Ketogenic form of "diet", Keto is really impractical in the Hot dog days of  summer or the coldest nights of winter.

The issue is that while Animal Fats are essentially "Energy", you should almost think of them or treat them like a Check or Promise from your Employer, that isn't really yours "yet" once you have it in hand, because it needs to go through processing before you can have it.

And that's why you always see animals in the wild looking for sugar fixes from fruits, and many animals survive through foraging by maintaining their energy levels from fruits (sugar).

Back in the 1970's and before, we were consuming Sugar constantly, despite what you are told today  in the Media, everyone was drinking Coca-Cola, pounding down Ice-cream every day and everything else way back of the day, Ice cream was a tradition after dinner in my family every day, and I implore you to look up how everyone was fit and there rarely was diabetes until they created the High Fructose Corn Syrup.

Anyone who avoids having Meats, Sugars, and certain types of "Fibers" will almost certainly suffer from reduced levels of Gut Diversity in their Flora, particularly with age, and this will have a detrimental effect on their digestion.

The sun also plays an important role on gut health and diversity as well.

In case it interests any of you, between all the Soda, Fruits and other Sugary Items per day that I consume, I go well into the hundreds of percent of "Daily Value" suggestions of what is supposed to be the safe levels of sugar in the diet, and I feel much better the more I have, and have never had heart problems or diabetes from it.

In fact, I feel much worse when I don't have sugar.

Sugar helps to reduce cortisol, and increase serotonin, and when you eliminate it, you will have the worst stress consume you.

Some of the biggest lies told are that Sugar and Sunlight age you, when in fact these things will keep you younger.

Also, it's a lie that Sugar decreases testosterone, compared to those who have little to no sugar in their diet, which would produce even less testosterone for Males.

EVERY creature consumes sugar. Ants, Cockroaches, Bears, Birds, etc.

Even Bacteria wants sugar.
