Obviously, it did.

But you also say in your book that it's not just diabetes or obesity that you're going to get or heart disease, that the high amounts of sugar lead to neurodevelopmental issues and affect brain development and cause more inflammation in the brain and can lead to autism and ADD.

Yeah, the glia are your brain's immune system.

And the overall risk... It was a strong one.

I mean, just to put it in plain English, like if you eat a lot of sugar when you're pregnant, your baby's going to have high risk of obesity, diabetes, and heart attacks, and maybe even neurodevelopmental issues and many other things.

So really important.

And you're the glucose goddess.

You teach women how to eat sugar the right way.

I mean, this is something called the glycemic load of a meal, which is essentially the way in which a meal in total affects your blood sugar.

So for example, I always make the joke, if you put like, you know, three tablespoons of Metamucil in a can of Coke and

It's going to not affect your blood sugar as much because you've got all the fiber.

It's going to swell up, but the sugar won't be absorbed as fast.

So the matrix of your meal matters.

Protein, fats, sugar.

If you eat protein and fat, you're going to slow the absorption.

You're going to mitigate the rise in blood sugar.

You're going to mitigate the rise in insulin.

Yeah, the inflammation.

So not that you can eat huge amounts, but it's not like don't eat anything, right?

So talk about how, what are the simple steps?
