If I give you pure sugar, which is pure sucrose that's been refined out of that strawberry or from sugar cane or from beets, or I give you high fructose corn syrup, which is another industrial byproduct from corn, or they take corn, which only has glucose and they isomerize it and they combine it to make a high fructose corn syrup, which is essentially like a fake sugar.

If I give you either of those things, it does induce insulin resistance in humans. It's not because it raises your blood sugar. It's because it affects your gut microbiome negatively. So historically, humans would never have consumed sugar without all of the other compounds in that strawberry. So that strawberry is a complex food. It's not just sugar. It's red. It tastes, right?

There are thousands of components in that strawberry, hundreds of different chemicals in that strawberry that your body is used to getting with that sugar. And whether it's strawberry or banana or orange or honey, any of these sugar-containing foods that humans have historically consumed These compounds prevent the overgrowth of bacteria in our gut.

But if you give a human pure sugar, you get dysbiosis. That is a strict, fast pathway to dysbiosis. If you want to mess up the gut flora, give a human sugar. It doesn't matter if it's high fructose corn syrup or pure sucrose. It doesn't look like it's good for humans. But if you give a human a banana, it's fine.

Or even like orange juice, it doesn't even have to have fiber because orange juice has these same chemicals. There are naturally occurring chemicals in fruit, in honey, that mitigate the negative effects of sugar in our body. So sugar causes insulin resistance, but not because of why we think it does. We think sugar causes insulin resistance because it raises your blood sugar.

That's not why it happens. There are plenty of cultures all over the world that have 95% of their calories as carbohydrates. They don't get diabetes. So insulin-induced insulin resistance is not the pathology of carbohydrate. That's not why carbohydrates are bad. Carbohydrates are not bad as a class.

It's processing of carbohydrates that strips chemicals that naturally occur with these that our body has always expected that actually prevent overgrowth of bacteria in the gut. And there's plenty of studies that show that if you give a human or you give a mouse pure glucose, pure fructose, or pure sugar, you will get something called endotoxemia, metabolic endotoxemia. Endotoxin is a word.
