Do You Need Sugar To Live - Quit Sugar

Do You Need Sugar To Live - Quit Sugar
There is so much confusion when it comes to carbs. We live in a world with conflicting nutrition advice, and carbohydrates are at the front and center of nutrition controversy.
Not all carbohydrates - or all carbohydrate-rich foods - are equal in terms of the nutrition they provide or how the body uses them. There are differences in types of carbohydrates, how they are digested and absorbed, and how they’re used by the body.

Sucrose is a type of simple carbohydrate called sugar. Specifically, sucrose is a disaccharide, meaning it's made of two monosaccharides; in the case of sucrose, it's made of the monosaccharide glucose and the monosaccharide fructose. Other disaccharides include maltose, which is 2 glucose molecules fused together, and lactose, glucose, and galactose fused together.
Individual sugar units can combine into more complex, often branched, polysaccharides, typically consisting of hundreds or thousands of glucose molecules fused together.
These carbohydrates are found in grains and vegetables and can be broadly categorized into digestible and indigestible types. Digestible polysaccharides include starch and glycogen. Starch is the storage form of glucose found in plant tissues, and glycogen is the storage form of glucose in the muscle & liver in humans and animals.
But Fun Fact about glycogen - when you eat meat, you don’t actually consume glycogen because it has already been broken down when the animal died. Indigestible polysaccharides mainly consist of fiber, which only comes from plants. Cellulose is an example of a fiber composed entirely of glucose molecules. But unlike the glucose found in starch or glycogen, the glucose molecules in cellulose are fused together to make it impossible for our gut enzymes to break them down.
Certain foods contain two types of fiber, both of which are important for you. Insoluble fiber is a type of polysaccharide that cannot be broken down in our body. It can’t be absorbed into your bloodstream, providing 0 calories. It passes unchanged through our digestive tract, and I’ll later explain why this is so important. On the other hand, soluble fiber dissolves during digestion, turning into a gel-like substance. It’s not digestible, but some components of it can be broken down by our gut bacteria in the colon, and what those bacteria do with it becomes very important.
For example, gut bacteria metabolize soluble fiber into short-chain fatty acids like butyrate, which get absorbed into the bloodstream. And that’s a good thing because butyrate has anti-inflammatory properties. But let's for a second, say you eat a carrot, which, yes, contains fiber, but it also contains starch.
You’re crunching on that carrot, and the saliva in your mouth starts to break down the starch molecules into smaller starch molecules because of an enzyme called…salivary amylase. If you eat a cracker and chew it long enough before swallowing, it tastes sweet on your tongue because the starch gets broken down to maltose.
So after that, the carrot goes into your stomach, where you have some acid, which deactivates the salivary amylase enzyme mixed in with those little carrot chunks. Then it makes its way to the first section of your small intestine, called the duodenum. Most of the starch is broken down into disaccharides there….maltose. Why? Because the pancreas secretes an enzyme here called pancreatic amylase.
You also have other enzymes located in the small intestine that break down the disaccharides into sugar’s simplest form, monosaccharides, mainly glucose and fructose, and lactose if you consume milk products. The monosaccharides get absorbed from the intestine into the blood, which immediately goes to your liver through your portal vein. The liver will convert fructose and galactose into glucose.
The human body is very efficient when it comes to absorbing sugars. The body uses glucose to provide energy for all sorts of functions, and that’s why the body carefully monitors blood glucose levels. It’s called glucose homeostasis, controlled by the pancreas and liver.
The pancreas secretes two important hormones, insulin, and glucagon when controlling blood glucose levels. When blood glucose increases, such as after eating carbohydrates, insulin is released from the pancreas. Insulin lowers blood glucose by stimulating glucose uptake by tissues, including converting extra glucose into glycogen in the liver and muscles. When blood glucose is low, glucagon is released from the pancreas, which has the exact opposite effects of insulin to raise blood glucose levels.

I decided to eliminate carbs as much as possible a few months ago. I eat lots of meat, fish, eggs, plain yogurt, and a lot of vegetables. I completely avoid sugar, raw milk, potatoes, rice, breads, fruits, and cereals. I am a 60 year old male, was a little overweight, and have issues with cholesterol, fatty liver, and hypertension. I have also decided to eliminate alcohol 6 months ago. Since Christmas, I have lost over 25 pounds [I haven't been this weight in over 20 years], my blood pressure is much better. I feel great, I think my fatty liver is gone, but am waiting on tests to confirm. My goal is to lose another 10 pounds before slowly adding back some of the carbs I have eliminated from my diet. It has really worked for me.

I was raised like this, my siblings and I thought our parents were crazy! We were not allowed to go to fast food restaurants, eat packaged snacks, or drink sodas and juices that were sold in stores. However, after I started modeling in junior high school, I was okay with not eating those foods. My Home Economics teacher started putting into my head how good I was making clothes and that I should sign up to model them in the school fashion show. I was convinced to pursue modeling and later, I was chosen to attend a performing arts school. Suddenly, I was okay with not consuming the aforementioned foods and drinks. Then I became an athlete which contributed to my desire to be fit and eat healthy without complaining. After I went to college and graduate school, I learned even more about the importance of eating healthy and the adverse effects of eating so much sugar. After marriage and a baby, I realized I was becoming my mother while refusing to allow my daughter to eat those same foods and drinks my parents did not allow my siblings and me to eat. So, when people ask me for my secrets to looking so much younger than I am, I respond, "JESUS CHRIST, my parents, eating healthy, exercising, and positive energy." Of course, they would laugh because they do not believe me and some say, "Nah, it's genetics!" Nope, I am the oldest of seven kids, and everyone tells me I look younger than all of them. Trust me, this video is absolutely correct, I am living proof. My mother is in her 80s, not on prescription drugs, and my grandparents lived to be centenarians! Moreover, my grandparents lived all of their lives up to their mid to late 90s without any prescription drugs. Trust me, putting GOD first, eating the foods HE gave us (not man made foods), drinking lots of water, making organic homemade juices, exercising, removing stress and toxic people from your life will keep you healthy, youthful, and add longevity.

[@matkaelamanteossa1377]

That was a quite fine summary of carbohydrate metabolism of a human system. I studied nutrition as a secondary subject at the uni, so I dare to add following: 1) Did you mention that carbohydrates are divited as sugars ( mono- and disaccharides) and polysaccharides (three or more monosaccahride units linked together with different kind of bonds)(?) 2) Brain mainly use glucose as their energy source. If you don't eat carbohydrates at all, you probably don't get enough glucose as a digestion product. So your kidneys and liver have to create glucose from skeletons derived from certain aminoacids via pathway called gluconeogenesis. And if your blood sugar level is too low, your end up suffering shortage of neurotransmitters in the synapses between your nerve cells. That' s why in hypoglycemia your brain is fuctioning poorly. 3) Soluable fiber (from apples, berries, grains etc.) forms a gel with water in your stomach. This delays empting the stomach, food passaging of the digestive tract and slows down the glucose absorption in small intestine, so that your blood sugar level won't peak up. Soluable fiber with gel formation also makes you feel fuller and perhaps prevents you eating too much at one time. 4) HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) is cheaper to use than grainy sugar. So HFCS is used in soft drinks (like cola) and candy. Using/getting too much fructose can lead obesity, insulin resistance (developing of type 2 diabetes) and fatty liver disease.

[@mellie4174]

Did you watch the video?? The first thing he talks about is glucose, fructose, disaccharides and polysaccharides! Just watch the video!

[@matkaelamanteossa1377]

@@mellie4174 Yes I did watch it, but did you read my comment? As the legendary " opus of Owen R. Fennema "Food chemistry" teaches you mono- and disaccharides are considered as sugars in food chemistry. I'll repeat monosaccharides and disaccharides= sugars! Three on more monosaccharide ( glucose, mannose,galactose etc.) linked together are considered broadly as polysaccharides. Disaccharides (lactose, maltose, saccarose) consist two monosaccaride-units bond together. Monosaccharides can be divided as hexoses and pentoses, depending on how many carbon atoms are in their ringstructure. Position of the chiral carbon atom tells you is it a D-or L- monoccarides. Actually the division is: Carbohydrates = sugars (mono- and disaccharides), + oligosaccharides (3-10 monosaccharide units linked together) + polysaccharides (more than 10 monosaccharide units Iinked together.) Our small intestine absorbs glucose. To get energy out of glucose it has to be converted first through glycolysis to puryvate/puryvic acid. Then the pyruvate is converted to acetyl-CoA, which goes through reaction pathway called citric acid cycle/ Krebbs cycle/ three carboxcylic acid cycle. Glycolysis form from 1 glucose unit 2 ATP molecules and and 1 puryvic acid. Krebs cycle forms 2 CO2-molecules, 3 NADH, 1 FADH2 and 1 GTP from 1 pyryvic acid. Electrons derived from NADH and FADH2 combines with O2 to produce energy in a form of ATP. So to get energy effectively out of glucose-molecule it has to go through 1) Glycolysis, 2) TCA-cycle and 3) oxidative phosforylation. If you do not eat carbohydrates, your nerve cells still need glucose as their main energy source. Then your body uses certain amino acids to produce glucose. Then the reaction pathway used is gluconeogenesis. As an internist, doctor Mike Hansen knows this very well. But I do not recall him mentioning this process - gluconeogenesis. (He did not include it in his video.) So you do need carbs, as Dr Mike Hansen said. But you do not need saccarose. And you should not eat candy and consume a lot of soft drinks containing HFCS. Usage of high-fructose corn syrup is restricted in the EU-area, for health reasons. Some experts are considering HFCS more harmful to your body than saccharose. Sorry to disturbe you all the watcher of Dr Mike Hansen, who's broad area of expertise I appreciate very much. I won't be bothering you with my comments on nutrion or food chemistry anymore.

[@Samzo2002]

@jcorb yes they do because they spike insulin

[@Samzo2002]

@jcorb You make no sense. Carbohydrates spike insulin more than animal proteins. Protein only spikes insulin if you consume large quantities like let’s say you eat 2 whole big chicken. Not only that, eating in general spikes insulin no matter what you consume. Protein and fats provide more stable insulin than grains. Grains like rice, pasta, bread elicit a greater insulin response than eating fish like sea bream, salmon etc. More so, when protein has fats the insulin response is far lower like eggs, salmon, mackerel, ribeye steaks etc

[@Samzo2002]

It can also be helpful to think of food as not just something you enjoy eating but also fuel for the day. If your day is mostly sitting at a desk, the total energy need is a lot less than if you're burning 4000 calories on a 100 mile bike ride. Sugars and simple carbs might be great for providing the most energy during intense exercise, but sitting at a desk doesn't need that fuel and it's just going to get stored for later as a bigger waistline

Yes, doctor Mike. I need sugar. It tastes good. My Chinese sign is Ox. One of the traits for this sign is it munch a lot. If you ever see those ox, even at work it still munch on grasses available. On side of the road, between rice terraces while plowing the field. So, as for me, I snack a lot. My mouth miss the taste. Nit because my body needs it.

2 questions: 1. If we don’t need carbohydrates / sugars, why eat fruit then? Shouldn’t all the foods be kept low-carb given the risks carbs have on insulin over the long term? 2. What’s wrong with bacon? You’ve said to avoid it. What’s exactly wrong with it?

I’m 75 year old and my A1c is at 5.5 so I’m no longer pre-diabetic by quitting desserts and other sugary foods. In 2020, I was A1c 5.9, 2021, 5.7 and 2022, 5.5 . My new problem is kidney disease due to my BP. Would you please do talk about improving kidney health? Thanks

Super good video

I eat less than 30 grams of carbs a day. Everything else is protein, fiber, and a little fat. I've been doing this since I was 20. I'm 41 now and I don't look much different.

[@dulcemejia319]

You don't look much different to you 😂 but ask someone else who has not see you in 20 years.

Can you tell the best omega 3 supplements, please? There are lots of brands. But have no idea which one is the from original cold sea fish. Thanks.

[@ricmrodrigues]

why ingest even good carbs if your body can produce them via gluconeogenesis? (not rhetorical, genuinely interested in finding out why) on the keto vitamin/mineral deficiency, how would one become like that if everything you mentioned containing those vitamins/minerals is keto friendly? doesn't make sense to me. also, people that eat high sugar/carb diets are 100% at the very least, vitamin deficient, given sugars/carbs cause the depletion of these in your body. so I'm glad you mentioned no one ever needs sugar for anything but I don't understand why the negative keto remarks if they're not properly supported. thanks for the good video!

💚🏜️ I appreciate the detailed carb explanation. This video is a good gateway to keto and carnivore. Once you realize you can live without carbs and FEEL BETTER, you start seeing what else is standing in the way of your health.

Absolutely! 💚🏝 Health is always at the priority (even lost the rice bowl due to the mandatory vaccination policy)! 🙏🍀🍀🍀
