Steve, I
posted why this is earlier. Fructose does not affect blood sugar significantly.

But the sugar itself isn't the problem. It's that your arteries and veins are filled with fat. Pouring more sugar into the blood without addressing the fat problem only makes things worse. You can try to eat lower GI foods, which may help a little, but then you're merely engaged in symptom management instead of systemic correction. As long as you continue eating a high-fat diet, you'll always have this problem. |
That is just not true Steve. Where are you getting your information? Credible research indicates that
fats do not effect the circulating blood glucose concentration in normal non-diabetic people. It even shows that it has opposite effect. For research facts see:
