Reducing sugar in your diet improves insulin sensitivity in turn reducing blood glucose.
Do you have evidence for that? Here's some evidence to the contrary.
http://www.medicalne...eases/59111.phpFructose bad. Sucrose is about half fructose, as is corn syrup. Dextrose/glucose, not so bad, in a matrix of other nutrients. Not to excess. A little fruit in the diet should be ok, two spoons of sugar in your coffee, maybe not. Other, complex carbs, maybe not so bad depending on one's genetic makeup. Some people thrive on low-carb, others on Mediterranean (relatively high in mono-unsaturated fat from olive oil), others require relatively high carb with fats in moderation.
That's almost a world-view. Do you have evidence for that?
What is clear is that high levels of fructose in the diet lead to obesity, in turn to insulin resistance and to diabetes. Sucrose is half fructose. We get too much of it. The liver can process only so much fructose at a time, the excess is turned to triglycerides in the blood leading to fatty deposits in the arteries and elsewhere. The so-called obesity epidemic correlates precisely with a region's increase in fructose consumption. Eliminating it from your diet is probably as good for you as taking any supplement you can name. Easier said than done. Read labels, and you soon realize you need to give up processed foods.
High levels of fructose do not necessarily lead to obesity. Think durianrider (or 80/10/10 diet). He may have lost a bunch of mass, but he's not getting obese.
There's lots of nasty stuff in processed foods, and plenty of reasons to give it up.
We're on different paths. You want to eliminate sugar, I eat 200-300g of sugar daily. You want to reduce metabolism, I want to raise it.
