    Today, we’re going to talk about the only type of sugar that won’t raise your blood sugar: fructose.
    Fructose doesn’t increase your blood sugar levels, at least initially. Fructose is often recommended to diabetics because it doesn’t increase blood sugar levels, but there is another side of this that’s important to look at.
    Fructose follows a different biochemical pathway than glucose. Glucose is absorbed by all of the cells, but fructose is only absorbed by the liver. What’s not absorbed can end up in the colon, where your microbes consume it, which can lead to digestive problems.
    Fructose absorbed in the liver can be converted to glucose and stored as glycogen. When glycogen is stored in the liver, the body will start making triglycerides and cholesterol. Fructose can potentially lead to a fatty liver very quickly, which can then lead to insulin resistance and diabetes.
    Even though fructose is low on the glycemic index and won’t directly raise your blood sugar, it can indirectly raise your blood sugar and lead to various health problems.
    The good news is that there are keto-friendly alternative sugars that you can consume. Learn more about these in my next video.

    Eleven years ago I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and given no hope for recovery. I was on eight prescription drugs I was told I would be on for life. This included 120 pain pills a month, depression medication, steroid creams, anxiety medication and more. By eliminating process foods and processed sugar from my diet. I have almost made a complete recovery. I am down to one meditation instead of eight. I have also dropped 40 pounds. This is not easy to do. But if you are committed to the process. It is definitely possible. In my opinion ninety five percent of medication are unnecessarily, if you are willing to eat real food and participate in moderate exercise.

    I did this with my cancer. I said "f" it. I was (initially) given 8 months, after four years of struggling, feeling horrible, and with one foot in the grave, I knew that the only person who was going to help, was myself. I took baby steps, but I radically changed my diet. I massively cut back on carbs, sugar, salt, and went to a high protein diet. I went from 260lbs to 200lbs in about six months. I went from a 42 inch waist pants to a 36 inch waist pants. I'm starting, just starting to exercise. The first step is the hardest and biggest. I'm now trying to clear up my 50k debt incurred while fighting this dreadful disease. Those are my two feet in my picture, with my Uranium over on the desk.

    Once I gave up consuming sugar and sugar alternatives (mostly xylitol, but I tried many), I quit craving sweet things. I wish he had mentioned this in the video, because I don't think I'm unique. Now I actually don't enjoy tasting something that is sweet. In a year and a half I've lost 155 lbs using strict keto, intermittent and long term fasting. I began at age 61, so it really isn't too late for anyone.

    I've been low carb since 2003 with a few "breaks" here and there. Each time I fully regretted it. I've been back on board since September 2022 and I'm back down to my ideal size and weight and feel so much better. Over the years I've done a LOT of research and some was into fructose. When I learned of the link between fructose and uric acid I knew I had to cut it out. A side benefit was that one of my close work friends went on disability due to gout and was off for over 6 months. When he came back I could see how unhealthy and in pain he was and we talked in detail. He told me about all these meds his dr had him on and I asked him if his diet had ever come up. He told me that he was told to stop eating cold cuts and shellfish but that was it. As he took a swig of a can of coke I asked him if he had ever considered cutting out fructose "just to see" and he said it had never come up. After a little more chatting I managed to convince him to give up ALL fructose just for a week to see if it had any effect, positive or negative. He said it would be hard but he was in too much pain to say no.
    Fast forward to the following monday and he'd gone a solid week with no fructose he comes into work with no limp and a big smile on his face. He told me that things were so much better and in only a short period of time he was just amazed. We talked a bit more and I gave him some suggestions on substitutions and how I do things (I'm no expert btw) and he eagerly took notes. Within a month he was off a number of meds as he no longer needed them and he had dropped a few lbs in the process. He also told me that his dr scolded him for taking my advice. His dr is 300+lbs and diabetic and doesn't even take his own advice. My buddy said that he told his dr that clearly the advice he had been giving wasn't working so he HAD to try something else. He then asked him if what he did was working why should he just take pills instead of changing his diet and his dr just told him "I'm the one with a medical degree". My buddy began looking for a new dr after that.

      When you're not eating - especially overnight or between meals, the body has to make its own sugar. The liver supplies sugar or glucose by turning glycogen into glucose in a process called glycogenolysis.

    I have an iron stomach. I’m 51 and besides the flu once in 1996, and food poisoning in 2008, I’ve never thrown up from anything after 1981 (age of 10). I’ve been very strict carnivore for 60 days (beef, bacon, eggs, chicken (all from a farm), water, salt, tallow, ghee, butter). A few days ago I purchased triple filtered bacon fat online (called Bacon Up). When it arrived I saw that it said off to the side that the bacon used might have sugar, brown sugar or maltodextrin. I decided it was probably minimal and used a tablespoon full on my ribeye at dinner. It tasted great…smoky bacon ribeye flavor with extra animal fat. 6 hours later I woke up in the middle of the night feeling nauseous. After a minute of trying to fight it, I could tell it was past the point of no return. I’ll spare you the details….but sugar is the devil. Especially after you’ve reset your body. I’ve reached the point where even a splurge or cheat meal will not only be something I won’t do….but probably won’t ever even crave anymore. Blessing or curse? Not sure, but nothing tastes as good as having my full health back feels. So my answer is obvious…it’s a blessing. Good luck to everybody fighting this battle of regaining your health.

    When I was a small boy in the 80s, we were super poor, and would put high fructose corn syrup on our pancakes. It didn't have a flavor or anything. It was just a big bottle of clear sweetener. We would use that instead of maple syrup because it was a fraction of the cost. We also mainly drank soda instead of water. Our water was yellow, and smelled like rotten eggs from the sulfur in it. I'm actually very surprised I don't have more problems than I do. I am over weight though.

Also fatty liver, which made no sense since I don't eat fried foods but thank to Dr. Berg and his videos I know understand it better. I was exercising daily until the tiredness got to me. Now I have to start from scratch. I feel best when doing Keto even though I just started. Too much stress, coffee and eating incorrectly (not eating at all and then just grabbing something easy) because of long days at work led to this. It's a process. Cutting out all fruit aside for one cup of blue berries and decreasing coffee is probably the hardest.

    I'd like to thank you for your videos particularly on sugar and insulin resistance. I had gestational diabetes when I was pregnant in May. We sadly lost the baby. Around August the nurse had me test my blood sugar level to see if it was back to normal. That's when I found out I was pre-diabetic. After watching your videos I started taking Ceylon cinnamon with my coffee along with Bitter Melon capsules (which Filipinos have always used for those with diabetes). By December my fasting blood sugar levels have been constantly below 100 despite it being the holiday season.
    Also with Monk Fruit! I had asthma growing up and my dad discovered this monk fruit tea called Lo Han Kuo from Chinatown in the Manila. So I've always drank it whenever I have coughs or cold. It's so cool to see that it's getting more known now.

      Eat half portions, even eat snacks or samples of food every 3 hours….or just eat 2 meals a day with vegetables like carrots , beets, avocado, cucumber, corn a half piece corn on cob , with a small portion of chili or meat…. No fried anything , no butter , no cheese, no bread , I make my own bread of ( arrow root, cocoanut flour and almond flower…) on birthdays a smaller portion of cake …going out to eat is just smaller portions….walk each day, sunlight, grounding , morning lemon water….don’t eat a half hour after the morning water….you will lose weight and sleep better….I make my own chicken Chile , I eat eggs 2 at a time….I drink coffee with almond milk only….I lost 25 pounds….my dr.

    I think the reason fructose uses a different pathway of metabolism is because when it would naturally be available to us from fruit in the summer, that signals or communicates to our bodies that winter is coming and we need to store up fat in order to survive hence the triglycerides...

I can eat gourmet in the comfort of my home.
