A great post from Dr. Peter Attia (A-tee-ah) on the topic of sugar toxicity. For me there is no question that I have a toxic reaction to sugar; it makes me feel awful, and if that doesn’t indicate toxicity, I can’t imagine what would. Dr. Attia is working with Gary Taubes on getting more science behind the problems of modern carbohydrates in our diets.
Enjoy, but be prepared to read in small doses:

Yours in learning,

We spent four days in NYC for a family wedding. Our combined families meant a lot of big meals to go with sightseeing, rehearsal, get togethers, the wedding reception, etc; plus too much drinking. I had to make this my 10% when my eating is less strict, but worked to keep the fat high to offset any sugars.
The main thing that happens to me now is indigestion, and a great sense of relief to be home and back to my good eating.
On the way home as we drove out of the city, I felt so happy about the happy couple, the two families joining, getting to see many family members that we rarely see, and feeling like I handled the food pretty well with no serious blips, and no binges. Back home now, and glad I can avoid indigestion for another year or two.
Yours in real life and the occasional bi-carb,
