Tell me, if my protein is adequate, fat adequate, micros being met, what actual, quantifiable harm is the sugar doing to me however I'm eating it?
Inflammation of soft tissue - Insulin sensitivity (High A1C numbers) - heart disease, peripheral neuropathy for starters
Evidence for this? And not one of the spurious links you've already provided.4 -

its common knowledge good works great and will lead you right now NIH MAYO CDC etc.....
It's common knowledge that someone at a healthy weight who is meeting their needs for protein, fat, and micronutrients will be harmed by inflammation of soft tissue, insulin sensitivity, heart disease, and peripheral neuropathy if they consume more than 20% of their calories from carbohydrates?
I've gotta call BS on this one. I don't know what "good works great" means, but I think it's some way of saying you're just pulling this stuff from thin air.14 -
@VintageFeline Do you have diabetes? Cause if not... then you don't really have to worry about peripheral neuropathy..5

here is one https://www.webmd.com/diabetes/peripheral-neuropathy-risk-factors-symptoms#1
This article (which is not the same as a study) is about people with diabetes. Do you have any evidence of this being a concern for the majority of the healthy population, or are we talking about those dreaded outliers again?7 -

Perhaps you didn't notice that they're speaking of people with diabetes there? I don't recall PP ever stating she was diabetic.
Or do you believe that consuming sugar will make you diabetic? Because that's a whole 'nother barrel of lolz to go down.5 -

This is just a description of peripheral neuropathy. It doesn't even come close to supporting the claims you've made so far.4 -

Obesity is the number one driver of diabetes...not carbs or sugar directly. People who are obese eat a *kitten* ton of everything...and yes, once you are diabetic is important to watch your carbs and sugar very closely...because you have a medical condition at that point.
Carbs and sugar in and of themselves don't cause diabetes...eating a *kitten* ton of food in general does. You can spike your blood sugar eating a *kitten* ton of protein too...
I don't need to eat like a diabetic...because I'm not a diabetic. I'm not a particular risk either given that I'm not over fat in the least.5 -
Again, an article and not a study. A meta-analysis would be even better, but I suppose that's too much to hope for. Again, talking only about a certain subset of people (those with diabetes) and not the population as a whole.2 -

Truth right there.
I was planing on getting a head start on my biochem classwork since the friends I was planing on hitting town with are out with the flu :grumble: (I do feel bad for them).
Kinda glad I stayed in

and pre-diabetic Hig A1C numbers - 40% carbs is too high ---- and will lead to long term inflamation
What is the basis for this claim?1 -
