Fox News (Main-stream Media) Now Admitting That Cutting Sugar Is Bad For Health & Gut
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.
Thanks for posting...
ReplyDeleteSo is it the caffeine that cause the frequent urination for me, when I consume sodas???
Any thoughts?
@Joey Aragon,
DeleteSure. The caffeine is absolutely a toxin, along with phosphoric acid which is in a lot of Colas. And the only other exception of things that could be toxic are artificial dyes or some secret ingredient under "Natural and Artificial Flavors", but soda by volume is far, far less toxic than almost any foods you can consume, even with those ingredients.
Between a Can of Soda, and a cup of rice, the cup of rice is almost certainly far unhealthier.
Thanks for the insight...
ReplyDeleteI have cut down on these artificial ingredients, so I can sleep through the night.
@Joey Aragon,
DeleteYup, I'd also include pasta as being more detrimental than a soda. The Pasta is highly processed even worse than regular Wheat which is still bad and has glyphosate and other toxic items which are defenses of the plant, whereas rice has arsenic from the ground.
Both of them destroy microvilli in the gut as well and lead to inflammation, whereas at least sugar doesn't do that and there are no toxic defenses inside of sugar.
Sugar actually reduces inflammation.
YES YES YES
ReplyDeleteYou always hit a "home run" with your blog entries don't you?
I'm sick of people constantly blaming sugar for everything as a "scapegoat" for any type of health issue. People will eat sugary grain-based snacks with emulsifiers, preservatives, oils and not to mention the pesticides and residues that can get in some of these ingredients and then say "oh it's the sugar that makes it unhealthy".
There is not a single thing in the world that is more cringeworthy than when someone decides to drink the "diet" or "sugar-free" version of soda and think that it's healthier just because it uses artificial sweeteners rather than sugar. ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS ARE WORSE THAN ANY SUGAR EVER COULD BE.
Also you are correct on your recent mentioning of how the carnivore community is incredibly toxic and also incredibly purist in what they do. And they really seem to hate sugar and think everything about it is awful. And yes, Prussian you are also certainly right about how it's completely bullshit on how they genuinely feel like eating a whole steak for breakfast, lunch and dinner when the human body absolutely does not want things like that especially first thing in the morning. There is no way they actually crave that much food.
And it's especially ridiculous seeing them shame others just because someone decided to get a takeaway or even eat fruit as if it's the worst thing in the world. I even remember seeing a video where Ken Berry was talking about how fruit juices are really bad for you and there was also another instance where he gave orange juice a "0/10" on how healthy it is.
I think many in the carnivore space must have the most intense cravings (assuming they follow the diet the way they claim to) especially when you see the ones who also refuse to eat fruit.
Goatis may even be upset to hear me say this. But even if I had access to high quality meat 24/7 and had all the resources I needed to "eat naturally" I still would eat things like ice cream, cookies, chocolate and all that other stuff. I'm not driving myself into psychosis just for the sake of "living naturally" and calling it psychosis is not an exaggeration either.
Just think about it though, think about how fucked everyone is. And many actually are listening to these recommendations. LESS SUNLIGHT, LESS SUGAR AND LESS SATURATED FAT. This a recipe for living a sickly and completely horrible life.
When many claim they feel better after "cutting out the sugar" they don't realise it's because they cut out all the other toxic ingredients in those sugary foods.
Also naturally speaking, sugar tastes good on it's own as a single ingredient food, that alone tells you it isn't bad for you unlike many spices which harm you.
@zikeKEK,
DeleteThat's the Prussian way! We have to be that way, it is actually what made us "Great", in the 19th and 20th centuries anyways... Now we're not seem as "cool" but as Brutes who have a stick up our asses, by the people of the world.
But yes, sugar is excessively a convenient scapegoat, and it's exceedingly blamed and used as a distraction from all the other toxic ingredients people consume on a daily basis which the media claims is "healthy".
I really get a kick out of people who think that they can rely on "nuts" to get all the essential fat and energy intake they need as well, because unsaturated fats function as "inert" in the body, along with leaving plaque in the arteries, but what's totally insane is that even if that fat were of any value, you would have to consume SO much ridiculous amounts of nuts that the fiber in the nuts would completely destroy your gut lining and even cut through it and create blockages along with your oxalate levels going through the roof to barely even get enough viable fat from it.
Another thing I find interesting with NPC's is they don't seem to understand that "unsaturated" basically means that it's NOT saturated, i.e. empty or not viable in the sense compared to a "saturated" fat in the first place, which is just common sense, but you'd be surprised if you quiz people on this question how many of them overlook that fact at all when they hear about how "dangerous" saturated fats are.
Yes, I've found most Carnivores to honestly be toxic and oddly aggressive in an unusual or unhealthy way, I think more of them tend to just be trendy more than anything.
I think even Aajonus Vonderplanitz would be kind of disturbed and upset to see where the Carnivore community is today even if he were still alive.
Even in my days of starting to take in the early advice that Goatis promoted, I still noticed that while my overall cravings for carbs and all kinds of foods decreased and that my appetite remained stable without having the urge to constantly eat, that I seemed to fare better having some juice along with the meal or having fruits afterwards, it just also seemed to also largely improve my digestion and was refreshing.
I never will stop love eating meat, but I think something we can tend to agree on, and sure some of it may be in part to not having freshly hunted animals, but one thing I notice about eating any kind of meat, especially raw, I don't know how to describe it, but the fact that it largely tastes bland and is somewhat plain and the texture of it just isn't fulfilling to leave as an "ending note" on the palate.
I think what really matters is that we must follow our body, but assuming that we are putting the right ingredients in our body in the first place, because instinctively I noticed when I ate more meat and fat how much pastries and other stuff just seemed and felt like "filler food" and the thought, sight even smell of those things makes me nauseous when I am fully fat adapted. If I lose fat adaptation, then they start to smell good again, including things like chocolate. I'll eat something chocolately once in a while, but I actually find the scent and taste of it a lot of times in many foods to be more nauseating and that I take as an indicator that my diet is in more of an optimal place.
But the thing about the young modern carnivores is that they seem to have more of a cultish following and constant "competition" with trying to prove to one another how much raw meat and dairy they can consume more than others, but ignoring whether they are really happy or enjoying life outside of that. The carnivore foods have essentially taken over their lives, and in actuality the thing is that optimal living is actually where food is the least concern or focal point of one's life, even though it's the most important foundation of our lives, preoccupation with it is unhealthy and is an eating disorder in and of itself.
@PSA
DeleteI think the reason these young carnivores are so toxic is because young people can get very caught up in their beliefs and many of them just want to be "part of something" and this is especially evident with Gen Z with their insecurities and the cult-like way theyv treat the carnivore diet as if eating anything other than beef is the worst thing ever.
They absolutely have an eating disorder and especially the way so many of these dietary people in general get so obsessed with tracking calories and nutrient intake and being so concerned with these things instead of actually just living their life is definitely going to drive someone insane.
People are going to be so miserable when they cut out saturated fat and sugar and live off "nuts" for their fat intake as you said.
Yeah I see what you mean by how eating more meat reduces the want for pastries.
I still drink juice a lot and I don't see any issue with it, but I noticed when people drink juice cartons that sometimes they add artificial sweeteners to the juice!!! I saw a carton of juice someone was drinking and it was only like 2-3 ingredients but one of the ingredients was an artificial sweetener. Fucking Bullshit, absolutely no reason to add such poison to juice and give people health issues.
On an unrelated note, what is up with Goatis recently? He seems to be saying that nutrients don't exist or calories or anything like that. And if you talk about something like DNA he say it isn't real and that all people can see is a 3D animation? I remember a big thing he talked about was cholesterol and how it's good for you, which is correct, but recently when I saw him review a TikTok video, someone mentioned cholesterol and he said something like "prove cholesterol".
Does he just mean that people in Nature wouldn't think about nutrients or what? I have no reason to believe that calories, nutrients and DNA or genetics doesn't exist.
Goatis is now doubling down on the nature perspective, because to him what can’t be observed with our five senses cannot be proven to exist.
DeleteThis is an ignorant way to view things as logical as it may sound, because this reality is complex in the way that just because you cannot observe something directly does not deny its existence. There are more planes than the physical plane.
Magic is like the precursor to science, it is connected
Sir Isaac newton was an alchemist and heavily involved in mysticism before he discovered or documented the laws of physics. Redditors will just say oh it’s a coincidence. But truthfully it’s not. There are no coincidences, only synchronicities.
Some guy who helped put the first rocket on the moon and back I forgot his name, was an alchemist and specialized in black magic.
Magic is really just technology. If you showed an iPhone and played a YouTube video to someone from
The medieval times they would accuse you of witchcraft and probably burn you at a stake. And they would be right.
I believe in DNA and calories, and nutrients, because it’s coming from the same people who create iPhones and vaccines, which require an understanding of DNA, so it doesn’t logically make much sense to me for them to completely make up all of this scientific consensus. What would be the benefit in that? Do you get what I mean?
And besides things like calories, molecules, and these models are simply reflective of the structural patterns we observe throughout the universe and physical plane, like how the double helix of DNA, the strands numerically can be translated to Yahweh. Which probably indicates that the existence is valid. Just with that
Goatis used to be more esoteric and even had a video about the Annunaki, it’s likely he probably is open to it, but keeps up this persona for his YouTube channel
These carnivores can have all the studies they want blaming sugar for free radicals and stuff but they don’t have the wisdom of Goatis as he understand if every animal eats it and it tastes good then it’s not gonna harm you or it will do more good than bad in your body. Because carnivores are so nuts they are afraid of even eating the non-processed sugars from fruit. I couldn’t imagine living like that. I bet they are very neurotic persons.
ReplyDeleteI find curious how in the last months they’ve released studies like the one about birds getting away from women more quickly and how consuming sugar it’s healthy, maybe is it only me but I think they are trying to tell us something.
By the way, you once said that brown sugar was a better option compared to standard table sugar, is that right?
@nothingiserious,
DeletePretty much, I mean the thing with the majority of these "carnivores" especially on social media, is that they will be quick to make a mockery or criticize anyone even if they eat a lot of meat but if they also have any plant items at all.
And yes, the majority of them are very neurotic, because they will even be willing to starve or inconvenience themselves rather than having something that is not part of the carnivore diet.
As far as the Brown Sugar goes, it's the "natural" sugar that is actually Brown because it has some trace minerals and nutrients with a molasses that makes it look slightly brown, until it's processed.
In terms of finding the real stuff on a shelf, it usually goes under the name of either Raw Cane Sugar, Demerara Sugar or Turbinado Sugar.
The products labeled "Brown Sugar" on the shelf are almost always Processed Sugar that has been made White, and recolored with either Caramel Color or Molasses to make it brown in a lot of cases.
@PSA Thanks. I didn’t know that about brown sugar. I actually was planning to go reduce my sugar intake because I thought it would help my stress levels but I wasn’t very convinced.
DeleteHow many hours of sunlight do you recommend?
On caffeine, I found that I never get that boost of “energy” when I consume energy drinks or coffee. In fact, coffee would always make me a little big sleepy if something. It doesn’t affect my sleep either. Can you relate to that? People who have ADHD have said this happens to them, I don't how true that this and I don't believe in that fake disorder.
@nothingiserious,
DeleteYes, in fact you'll notice if you go to most markets, the actual real raw sugar is very very difficult to find, and that's of course on purpose, but White Sugar isn't all that "bad".
Doesn't it figure, they try to always get us to reduce fat and sugar from our diets, which are actually the cornerstones of energy production and metabolism, they are macronutrients which they try to scare us away from consuming.
The thing is that while the body can live (although not healthily) without micro-nutrients, the body cannot live without macro-nutrients especially in the short-run so any shortage of any of the key macro-nutrients in our diet, and you immediately are facing a form of famine and danger to the body and inability for it to heal or keep rebuilding and maintaining itself.
I think the body naturally will tell you when you've had enough sun, because if you feel fatigued or nauseous, that usually means you had more than enough sun for the day, so I'd say it depends on that, plus one's ancestry and where you live and what time of the year, since out of Summer, the Sun is further away if you, and also depending on the time of day.
I'm not actually really sure to be honest about differences that Caffeine or stimulants of any kind like in Energy Drinks would have with ADHD, because also remember these are manmade designations or theories, but they usually point to someone having a more sensitive personality, so I would think the only possibility that could be drawn is depending on your mood or your current appetite or what you ate for the day (or didn't) could have a major affect on how the caffeine and stimulants influence or make you feel.
For example, if I have a very busy or active day where I needed to do a lot of physical work, even if I consider tons of caffeine in the evening, it will not keep me up. I fall asleep, and sometimes it will even oddly help me fall asleep better.
@PSA
ReplyDeleteI do follow Aajonus Vonderplanitz’s primal diet, but I’m not sure if I’ll follow it forever, diet is an interesting topic since it is literally so important as the foundational basis on how a human functions on a day to day basis, yet no one has agreed on what is most optimal. If there’s even such a thing.
Even spiritual and occult and esoteric spaces will say different things like, don’t eat meat as it is the lowest vibration food! Eat only fruits and vegetables instead because they are sun charged and high vibration! And then your health goes to shit. Because unfortunately nature did not design you that way, and will not let you slide if you don’t eat meat.
I mostly follow the diet, to help my body run on all cylinders, but I’m not gonna lie to you, it’s really restrictive, and you will alienate yourself from everyone, including social events, which pisses me off because the only reason I eat this way is to take care of my health, not because I’m a weird person or crave attention by doing something like this.
I have not eaten a single processed or non meat or dairy or natural product in over a year. And I don’t even think the strictness was really worth it in the end. At work someone offered to buy me a drink so I told him, I’ll take a Red Bull. Forgive me Lord Goatis for I have sinned! I drank ONLY half of it, and it was Utterly delicious, and I didn’t feel anxious after I just felt good. But I did feel slightly guilty afterwards, remembering how Goatis said energy drinks are poisonous. If Red Bulls had no negative health effects I’d drink them all day.
This diet definitely puts you in some level of psychosis, constantly refusing anything and everything that isn’t raw meat or something. It’s a total pain in the ass, and requires significant level of discipline, or like a religious following and worship of the diet, from my understanding currently, it depends on what your goals are, if you want peak “health” go with the primal diet by Aajonus Vonderplanitz, but you will give up many things in return.
I have unfortunately come to the point where I would feel extremely guilty if I were to eat ice cream or cookies, or something like that, kind of likely how Goatis would rather die than eat those things.
The problem with these unnatural foods and drinks however is that they taste good in the beginning but afterwards you have the increased risk of feeling bad, because it is objectively toxic to some degree. I also think to myself “nature is gonna punish me for eating these unnatural foods” which proves how nature is a bitch and restrictive in it of itself, which is very ironic, even though Goatis says nature is perfect and ultimate freedom.
Most people, especially in this modern world suffer from the phenomenon known as “over-acidity “ where the pH level of their digestive system is too low making them feel sluggish and not having any appetite for red meat or just in general. This isn’t such a problem in nature. But this phenomenon is also encouraged by the industrial toxins and pollutants that collect within our bodies throughout our life span.
A simple solution is to add more alkaline foods, vegetable juice is what Aajonus recommended, but fruit work as well, that’s also why restaurants serve salad with steak, because the salad helps balance the acidity of the steak making the entire meal more palatable.
@PSA continued
ReplyDeleteGoatis suffers from over acidity which is why he doesn’t eat meat in the morning and eats a lot of fruit, which does have AGEs.
So diet comes to a matter of what is worth it to you and what is not. Are you a primal nut who follows the diet religiously thinking he’s gonna ascend into another realm after enough years of high meat and never cheating?
Or do you favor a less extreme and restrictive approach, and just wanna do the diet maybe 60-70% way and eat other foods when you want to. Maybe even cook your steaks lightly for taste. You’ll still have the raw nutrition and fats to bind to toxins, and support hormonal health and overall body function, while not having to exclusively eat only raw, it’s kind of the best of both worlds.
Everything is toxic and we’re always bombarded with it daily, the healthier your diet is the more you’re equipped to handle it. There is no such thing as a perfect diet. Because perfection is an oxymoron to an inherently chaotic world.
All of it is a matter of what you desire in the end.
I do agree that the most optimal place is when food is not the main focal point of your life, because the main reason these young people obsess over this diet is because they’re empty inside.
I’m honestly sick of the idea of health and constantly having to go out of our way to maintain our bodies like some absurdly designed machine, I’m sick of it all but I still do it out of discipline and self respect. Even eating is a chore, do you really enjoy munching on a raw steak for the thousandth time? We all get bored of things. There’s even a quote or story of the idea of people choosing to mix heaven with hell because heaven itself was too boring. There’s so much more to life than diet, I see it as a means to an end.
@John Eston In my opinion the primal diet is directed mostly to people who are very, very ill. It’s restrictive, and really expensive form what I’ve heard. I’d prefer the Goatis’ method when it comes to eating carnivore: include the best organs like liver and brain, eat enough fats, consume fruits if you want and sunbathe to stimulate detoxification. A thousand of times more straight forward in comparison to doing stuff like waking up at midnight to drink a raw egg lol. Take into account that the world is gonna end soon anyways, eat whatever man don’t restrict yourself, just don’t overdo the obvious ultra processed slop like cereal and pop tarts. Buy as much RedBull as you can before everything becomes expensive. Eat as much sugar as you want and eat delicious fruits, just eat enough meat and fat. Primal dieters don’t eat fruit because is not allowed in their religion. What’s killing us are the poor food and soil quality in general along with the massive pollution we have nowadays. Not glycation, not Ph imbalance and others things people blame to delude themselves to think they have control over their health when that's mostly not true and to not face with the fact the world is doomed.
