Paul Saladino MD podcast 199. Is all sugar bad for you? High fructose corn syrup vs fruit & honey
Insulin Needed for Electrolyte Balance
- To maintain electrolyte balance, a post-meal insulin rise triggered by carbohydrates is essential.
- Avoid carb elimination that causes persistent electrolyte problems and muscle cramps.
Keto Raises Stress And Aging Markers
- Ketogenic diets elevate cortisol, a stress hormone linked to aging.
- Ketosis also increases harmful methylglyoxal, an advanced glycation end product.
Choose Simple Sugars over Starches
- Prefer simple sugars from fruit, honey, maple syrup, and lactose as carbohydrate sources.
- Avoid starches which may harm the gut and contain plant toxins.
In today’s podcast, Paul talks all about sugar, and why all sugar is not created equally. He talks about the benefits of including carbohydrates in your diet via honey, maple syrup, and fruit, especially if you are a recovering keto or carnivore dieter. He then dives deep on refined sugar, specifically high fructose corn syrup, and why you should avoid those at all costs.
