Healthy adults consuming some dietary sugar doesn't cause persistent high blood sugar, though. That's diabetes.

it's not just sugar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycemic_index#Grouping

all simple carbs are the devil, but we can't possibly feed billions of people actually healthy food - organic vegetables, nuts, and animal products, so come drink your corn syrup.

  • The sugar industry (topic of this article) can only be blamed for sugar, though -- not all high-GI foods.

    And you can replace "sugar" in what I said earlier with "high-GI foods" and it doesn't change a thing. Persistent high blood sugar is diabetes; it isn't dietary.

    • >Persistent high blood sugar is diabetes; it isn't dietary.

      how is it not dietary if consuming most carbs spikes your blood sugar for hours, which, with three meals + snacks + starbucks slurry, means elevated blood sugar 20+ hours a day?
