Sugar is also acidic. Not enough to kill you, but that’s why ketoacidosis kills people. It also increases blood viscosity, making it pump harder and causing hypertension. Plus, it causes chronic inflammation, which calcifies triglycerides in your blood to form clots.
Also I’m not gonna look it up to confirm but that ketoacidosis explanation sounds like a grave misunderstanding of what it is.
Honestly not sure how I should respond to this. I’d rather you either research it yourself and call me out or simply nod and follow along. But you chose this weird middle ground.
On the flip side, you require a steady supply of glucose into your cells to live.
Gluconeogenesis is a thing, go look it up. Again, you’re doing these half-assed “gotchas” without doing any research of your own
Not the commenter but as a type 1 diabetic yeah you’re right, but when most say diabetes they mean type 2, which is the kind where you eat unhealthy and don’t exercise where type 1 is when your immune system just doesn’t like your pancreas
I was going somewhere with this but completely lost my train of thought
Oh 100%. I’ve been getting into cooking more and using fried chicken recipe that replaces the breading with pork rinds and doing recipes like that I just feel a little better day to day
Too much glucose is a great way to get diabetes.
Kind of? Getting fat and eating too much regularly are great ways to get diabetes, and sugar is a great way to get fat.
There are plenty of skinny type 2 diabetes (look at china). Persistently elevated glucose levels cause insulin resistance.

Sugar has tons of negative effects.

100% Agreed

The body can produce glucose on demand from stored fat, its not a essential macronutrient.

To be fair, limiting carbs/sugar as a T1D has lots of positive effects.

It really is, i actually prefer it cus the pork rinds have more flavor than bread crumbs IMO
