At what point in history did being poor

sugar eaten. Most people would be shocked how little (or zero) sugar they actually need. Unless you're running a marathon, you don't need complex carbohydrates at all. Personally, I can run up to 3 miles a day on 60-70 TOTAL grams of simple carbs and maybe 2,000 calories. If you sit at a desk or don't exercise strenuously, you get all the sugar you need from vegetables alone, without even eating fruit. I can run a mile on 1800 calories a day and 40-50 grams of TOTAL carbs, all simple sugars.

And carbs are actually addictive. Physically and psychologically addictive. It's the most prevalent addiction in America. Remove them totally and you will actually have physical withdrawal symptoms. Most people associate this with starvation symptoms, but it's not. It's actually a withdrawal.

Cancer is a disease of cell replication. It's very genetic in nature and genetic, although if you do something that causes cell replication to increase, you make a mutation and cancer more likely. Sunburn and sun exposure is a good example. Sunburn causes the skin cells to replicate much faster. Burn in the Sun a lot, more replications to replace skin, more chance of getting cancer. Smoke? More lung cell replication. Dip? More gum and mouth cell replication. GERD? Acid causes more replication in the cells of the esophagus. Breast cancer is caused by a cell replication error as well, but it's not environmental in nature but still genetic.

Now sugar plays a role because it's naturally inflammatory and causes inflammation. Inflammation generally causes more cell replication. It also causes fats to stick inside arteries and arteries to harden making that easier. So it plays a role, but indirect. Much more of a role in heart disease, I'd argue, than cancer.

And then there's differences in "sugars"

Feb 5, 2019, 10:07 AM [ in reply to Re: When we changed dietary guidelines from more fat less sugars ]

The worst "sugars" are found in breads, pasta, potatoes, corn, etc. Technically they're called "complex carbohydrates" and it's those that kill more than actual simple sugars. Bread is sugar. Corn is sugar. Potatoes (french fries especially) are sugars. Pasta is sugar. And by sugar, I mean when digested, they all turn to sugar. The key thing that makes a slice of bread worse than a handful of Skittles is when you eat that slice of bread, it elevates your blood sugar for HOURS, like 4-6 HOURS. That effectively increases your blood glucose baseline for the rest of the day. When you eat Skittles, candy, honey, or simple sugars, it spikes your blood sugar higher, but it's burned quickly as fuel and will come back down, like within an hour or two. BUT, when your glucose is elevated from complex carbs, ANY simple sugars spike ON TOP of that increased glucose level, so it goes higher, your body then pumps even more insulin to counteract it.

Cut out complex carbs and only eat simple sugars. You'll see a big difference. Complex carbohydrates are generally not found in nature, with the exception of potatoes and some starches. We are designed to get mainly simple sugars, and mainly from fruits. Bread is a human invention only a few thousand years old. Same for pasta, etc.

Heck, just take the corn and wheat subsidies, end them, and transfer them to fruits and vegetables. Obesity WILL decline. How do you think they fatten up livestock? They feed them grains. "Grain-fed" cattle have more fat in their meat, and hence taste better. Same principle applies for people.

Man can not create a food or meal worse than hamburgers and french fries to cause obesity. It's the perfect combination of high fat and high complex carbs. The hamburger is not as bad though as the french fries. If you have to keep eating one, eat the burger and toss the fries.

Not really
