Um, people actually have, are in a slightly higher risk for developing metabolic disease, very minorly higher, but one drink seems to be associated with the lower, uh, the lowest amount of future development of cardiometabolic disease. And then after one, it sort of goes up. So it's a J shaped curve.

This is not to say you should drink for your, for your metabolic health, but it is kind of an interesting thing, um, that you do see, uh, in the literature. Um, So that's sort of the case with alcohol. It won't spike your glucose, but an excess should be avoided. And another interesting thing about alcohol is that it of course disrupts the microbiome and can create some transient leaky gut.

It also, conventional wine is filled with pesticides and food additives that we know can impact the gut. And like we talked about earlier in the episode, gut health and microbiome diversity is one of the predictors of your response to different foods in terms of glucose response. you know, it gets kind of complex.

If we could also track our microbiome, this also might help us understand our diets a little bit more. So we wanna, you know, certainly be thinking about microbiome and about environmental toxins when we're eating, even though some of those things are not necessarily gonna spike your glucose in real time.

Eating pesticides is not gonna spike your glucose, but over time it can create the toxic damage to our cells that ultimately does lead to insulin resistance. And we know that certainly with several of these chemicals in our environment, like persistent organic pollutants, that of course are not going to spike glucose immediately, but which over the long term create cellular dysfunction.

So kind of getting back to your question about how to pair foods and time them and sequence them, The key point is balance. You want to eat carbohydrates with fat, protein, and fiber. That is generally gonna blunt the glucose spike by slowing digestion, and fiber actually can sometimes block the amount of sugar you even absorb from the gut.

Um, they've looked at studies, I think with, uh, with nuts, for instance, which have a good amount of fiber and the calories that are on the bag may not be the calories that you actually end up absorbing because fiber blunts some of that absorption. So I think of fiber as like a total magical life hack.
