And those are the main ones that tend to raise glucose in our blood and activate this switch where the glucose gets converted to fructose.

You know, I've published on how much sugar people were eating over the decades, actually going all the way back. And, and really it started really going up dramatically in the 1970s when high fructose corn syrup was added. And, you know, we've done studies and high fructose corn syrup tends to be more fattening than table sugar causes more fatty liver, for example.

And it's because there's a little bit more fructose in it, and also probably because of how it's absorbed. By the 80s and 90s, that's when really obesity and diabetes went crazy, and they continued to increase. Now, sugar intake has decreased since 2005, particularly in soft drinks, But there's also been the rise of sugaring from power drinks.

In general, you want to avoid liquid sugar because liquid sugar is the worst because you get a lot of sugar in a short amount of time. And I include for sugar, I include table sugar in high fructose corn syrup and things like that. So liquid, soft drinks,

There's certain umami foods, umami is another taste, and they will also enter into this switch, particularly things like beer and alcohol, but beer in particular, which has brewer's yeast in it, actually will activate the switch as well. You know, a lot of meats are good, especially poultry, fish, unprocessed red meats. There are a lot of fats that are good.
