I’ll confirm what she said based on my experience as a type 1 diabetic ! All sugars including honey and fruits like banana, apple and oranges cause sugar spikes for me ! As for sweeteners! I tried many and I settled on stevia because it really doesn’t cause high blood sugar at all ! P.S Be careful when you buy stevia ! Sometimes they write STEVIA in big letters thinking that it’s 100% stevia but it’s not ( you can see like 2% stevia, the rest is something else !) They add other sweeteners ! So, always check for the ingredients ! It should contain at least 95% of stevia ! Good luck !

I was on a borderline to being a prediabetic and had no idea what to do or anything on the damage sugar has put on my body.

Go, girl!!! I'm proud of you. It's hard to do this. I'm struggling myself. Sugar is so addictive.

This is the worst part about this lady's advice; she actually convinces people that eating carbs is fine so long as your blood sugar spikes are reduced. This is like a telling an alc■holic that drinking alc■hol is fine so long as they are able to moderate. She doesn't tell you that eating carbs causes ups and downs in your mood. She doesn't tell you that eating carbs causes people to want to eat more often. She doesn't tell you that eating carbs causes inflammation even if the blood sugar spike isn't as big as it would be without her "hacks". She doesn't tell you that eating fiber not only blocks sugar from being absorbed by the intestines but that it also blocks iron, zinc, manganese, magnesium, calcium and other minerals. She doesn't tell you that dietary carbs are add!ctive. It's not just about blood sugar spikes. Dietary carbs and fiber cause all sorts of problems for humans. We simply don't have the hardware to handle regular intake of carbs and fiber. You are coming away from this video happy to continue eating carbs and fiber. But it's the carbs and fiber that are contributing to your skin issues. It's the carbs and fiber that are making you tired after lunch. It's the carbs and fiber that are giving you unnecessarily painful periods. It's the carbs and fiber that are causing your joint pain. It's the carbs and fiber that contribute to osteoporosis. It's so frustrating. Cut the carbs and fiber. Keep your total carbs below 20g/day. You will go through a one or two week sugar detox period (literally chemical withdrawals from sugar similar to what alc■holics experience). Then you will start feeling better than you have in years. Yeah, her advice is better than nothing,. I'm not saying it's worthless or whatever. But her advice is like adding water to a bucket with a hole in it. It kinda' works, but it isn't an actual solution.

I know that carbs are not good for your health but you need some…..in my personal experience what happens is that when I have carbs I only eat a little bit because I already eat more protein and veggies and I don’t eat much but when I feel like having some sour dough bread l enjoy it 😉

[@Hertz2laugh]

@@gladismendez6596 This is what is so cool about the human body. Humans have the ability to make exactly the amount of carbs they need right at the exact time the carbs are needed. This process is called "gluconeogenesis" - the body disassembles protein molecules and builds carbohydrate molecules out of them. The fact that humans make carbs out of protein means that a human never needs to eat a single bite of carbohydrates in their lives (aside from when you are growing like crazy as an infant). As long as a human is eating enough protein, their body will automatically make the perfect amount of carbs to stay healthy and energized.

I heard recently that just the anticipation of consuming something that will taste sweet, like a soda with an artificial sweetener, your body will still have an insulin spike even before you drink it. Personally, I haven't had a soft drink with or without sugar in decades. I also don't do "energy" drinks or fruit juice at all. Thanks for the information you're sharing. A lot of it validates my ideas of what to consume.

Xylitol is added to gum in many products. I have read studies that claim that xylitol prevents one of the bad bacteria in a persons mouth from attaching to the surface of the tooth and causing tooth decay. The xylitol has a long term effect on dental health causing other beneficial bacteria to populate the mouth and diminished the ability of the bad bacteria from multiplying in the mouth, preventing tooth decay. I try to stay away from all artificial sweeteners in food and only chew gun with this sweetener because it helps fight tooth decay.

When it comes to raw sugar, there are a few popular types that are commonly available and appreciated for their unique flavors and characteristics. Here are some of the best raw sugar types: Demerara Sugar: This sugar has large grains and a light brown color. It has a slight molasses flavor and is often used to sweeten coffee and tea or as a topping for baked goods. Turbinado Sugar: Turbinado sugar is another type of raw cane sugar. It has a light golden color and a mild molasses flavor. It's commonly used as a sweetener in beverages and for sprinkling on top of baked goods. Muscovado Sugar: Muscovado sugar has a very dark brown color and a strong molasses flavor. It retains more of the natural molasses content than other types of raw sugar, giving it a rich and complex taste. It's often used in baking and for making rich sauces and marinades. Panela Sugar: Panela is an unrefined whole cane sugar commonly used in Latin America. It has a caramel-like flavor and is often sold in solid blocks or cones. It can be used in cooking and baking or dissolved in hot drinks. Jaggery: Jaggery is a traditional non-centrifugal cane sugar consumed in Asia and Africa. It is dark brown in color and has a rich, caramel-like flavor with hints of molasses. Jaggery is commonly used in cooking, especially in Indian cuisine, and is also enjoyed as a sweet treat on its own. These raw sugar types are prized for their distinct flavors, natural sweetness, and minimal processing, making them popular choices for those looking for alternatives to refined white sugar.

Dear Jessie, I'm 68 and have been eating no carbs for years, eating at home, buying organic veggies, duck eggs, wild caught salmon and shrimp and avocados, lots of EVOO, lots of fruits and some seeds. This April I followed your food hucks and it worked really well for me, I ate less fruit and had one meal a day because I was full and didn't have much room for food. On 5/12/24, I don't have diabetes, I had my blood drawn and everything was fine, except my total cholesterol and LDL were high, I don't know why? Could it be or maybe I'm adding too much extra virgin olive oil to my vegetables ? My blood tests have been all green except this year. ❤U a fan from 🇺🇸

Not everything is true. Eggs damage the liver. It starts first with cholestérol and after comes diabète. Refined oil is not ok.

To my understanding, high cholesterol with no other diet or exercise difference from prior to menopause may be hormone related.

Inulin is a fibre which slows down absorption of the Stevia. I prefer the taste of Stevia to sugar. Stevia just tastes of sweetness, which is why you only a very, very small amount.

When I first saw you, I thought you were French (that's a compliment) because your facial style, your personality, and the way you speak English has a little bit of a French accent, and I don't know if it's the short haircut that reminds me of that more than anything else. You look really good, like a model, not a biochemist, and I think that's why people are paying more attention to your channel, because it's not the boring, stuffy biochemist's sleepy explanations. I've been watching your channel a lot lately, and it's really helpful in a lot of ways. However, the food that they eat, I think it's one of those things that's so strongly cultural and I think it's one of those things that can't be easily fixed because it's so deeply ingrained, especially from your mum and your parents when you're younger. Of course, that's why your video is so important and meaningful to people who want to make a change and feel like there's a problem. I look forward to seeing more of your helpful videos in the future. I'm cheering you on from the bottom of my heart from Korea.

This is just GOLD! Thanks a lot for what you do ❤.

[@MrUsmanone]

So you are saying that smoothies are bad because the fiber magically vanishes? How is blending a fruit different from chewing it?

[@supercrazydesi]

Molecular shapes change, do not vanish.

[@junglemandude]

How I wish I could Thumb up this video a million times, because you've nailed it, by covering all aspect of suger and without taking sides, other youtuber will hate you for this video and your balanced view to stick to the facts. Keep it up👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ScarlettDuchess]

Facts? Ummm no lol. “The researchers conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical trials on honey, and found that it lowered fasting blood glucose, total and LDL or ‘bad’ cholesterol, triglycerides, and a marker of fatty liver disease; it also increased HDL or ‘good’ cholesterol, and some markers of inflammation.” Nov 16, 2022 Sweet: Honey Reduces Cardiometabolic Risks, U of T Study Shows

[@AVISHAYFTL]

Can you do an episode on the difference between smoothies vs. Juices? I was always under the impression that a smoothie as opposed to a juice, keeps the fiber content within. But you referred to it in the same category as juice. Thank you as always for the amazing content!

[@cosmic3841]

she's got brains, looks, personality, and style! i aspire to be her

[@sarahvinkle5813]

Agreed! She’s doing good for the world & lookin’ good doin’ it 😎🫶

[@TorBoy9]

Great coverage of a controversial topic. The food industry really knows how to market their products to us. Thank you.

[@toms5472]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🙌🏻

[@Willc1268]

I love this lady. Knowledgeable and beautiful

[@victoriaweidenbaum9978]

Thank you for providing so much valuable information! So is it better to eat better sweeteners than sugar itself? What are sweeteners exactly and why are they sweet?

[@foodheal3548]

I don't agree! While fruits have the same molecules as table sugar, you don't mention the phytonutrients found in fruits. We get vitamins, antioxidants, polyphenols, etc from sugar, while white sugar is plain! Black molasses has minerals, and I'm using it as an iron supplement. While there's glucose rise after eating "healthy sugar," I emphasize on nutrients in these foods!

[@viniciuscalzado306]

She is talking about the glucose spikes, sugar of fruits in the form of Juice is as bad as other ones in the case of creating insulin resistence and diabetes

[@Minotsu]

You can get all those nutrients from vegetables without the big sugar spike.

[@cm-nj]

I absolutely do not want to minimize the importance of Jessie's content - it's been a game changer for me since finding Glucose Goddess, but I did want to acknowledge her stylist, Coline Bach. Really well done - Jessie looks professional, yet modern and young.

[@beckydemos4926]

So why have we been told that honey and maple syrup metabolize slower in our bodies, which makes it better for us. There are so many conflicting things out there

[@Seasideboy1]

Absolutely, far too many conflicting reports on the same thing.

[@teresamoore4126]

It is confusing to try and find even the glycemic index of honey, I've just read anywhere from 50 to 83 in two minutes of looking.

[@naomifog]

Love your work jes

[@adriancasey9628]

This was helpful. I’ve been torn on the sodas. I don’t drink that many but occasionally I want one. I will stick to the diet.

[@michelefinizio6520]

Thank you very much great information

[@edwardzender2708]

Not sure? You said Xylitol is bad? Are you aware that there is two types of Xylitol? The one made from Corn and the one made from Birch, I have been using this for several years now as it was recommended to me from Dr Eric Berg

[@johk123]

This is a point of view from a Bio-Chemist. Dr Berg, as a chiropractor and fasting specialist, probably has his own opinion about Xylitol

[@melmil9836]

Yes l agree, l have heard so much information about xylitol actually being of benefit for one’s health and oral health, not sure why she said that it is in the bad list.

[@amethystfeathers7324]

... And also by dentists...

[@jtm0071]

She's a Biochemist! I'm sure she knows.

[@jtm0071]

​@@johk123I'll take the biochemist.

[@chloeconger]

Please share your take on Trehalose. Dr. Seeds says it is an amazing sweetener and supplement that levels out your blood sugar. It is half as sweet as sugar per unit mass, and occurs naturally in fish and mushrooms. Thanks for all the great info!

[@KatRoberts-mi3wy]

I had a marker test done and my health provider asked what I was putting in my coffee as it came back as a huge marker and she said to not take it any more, it was sugar free coffee mate , I looked on the back at the ingredients and the third ingredient was fructose corn syrup ( surprise) on the front it had a big sign SUGAR FREE !!! Needless to say I threw it out .Thank you for the information

[@TeporingoObrero]

Thank you 💐

[@j.d.564]

You're indirectly saving lives. Please continue this! People need to know how to take care of their vessels with our garden of Eden.

I am a 67 year old power lifter and fitness trainer I don't have diabetes and I don't eat refine sugar and trans fat. I eat natural sugar from fruits, stevia dates and nature honey I exercise 4 times a week, I lift weights and I also train cardio, and I'm rowing for 1 hour I use that sugar as energy. People eat too much sugar and trans fat process food and junk food. I live in the Netherlands children eat too much sugar and trans fat every day and many children are fat. There are children who already have diabetes from 15 years old. For my age I'm totally healthy and strong.

[@FreddyB41]

Careful on those alternative "better" sweeteners - they can often have Maltodextrin mixed in, and are not required to label it as such. "Stevia Sweetener" is often a clue that this product has Maltodextrin in the Stevia Sweetener, even if not labeled on the product. Maltodextrin is WAY worse for you than cane sugar, does HUGE blood pressure spikes.

[@IRod1]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@imbidishaa]

Great video ❤

[@Blueskies7775]

Great episode! Yes the molecules are the same with honey as opposed to regular white sugar, BUT if there are additional benefits to having honey then I may as well have honey, the raw unpasteurized kind of course from a local harvester.

[@jimhealy4890]

It would be good to research the antioxidant content of blueberries vs the raw honey you refer to.

[@jimhealy4890]

And the sugar content...
