Re: What if sugar is worse than just empty calories? An essay by Gary Taubes
In the article in BMJ current issue, Gary Taubes writes: "This research (Stanford University, my note!), mostly in animals, supported John Yudkin’s contention that consuming large doses of sugar could cause a cluster of metabolic abnormalities that associate with heart disease: insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, hepatic lipogenesis, dyslipidaemia, ectopic fat accumulation, and perhaps visceral fat accumulation as well.9".
This is my question: "Do you think that consuming large doses of sugar could cause a cluster of metabolic abnormalities that associate with heart disease in all individuals, rather than possibly in subjects involved by relative constitution-dependent, Inherited Real Risk, I've discovered 20 years ago?".
