Nah, when you’re dealing with carbs as simple as sugars, they’re broken down and absorbed very efficiently. Some of it even gets absorbed in the mouth before you swallow. So the spikes from stuff that is that sugar packed it can bump up blood sugar levels high enough to throw your whole system out of whack.
Basically, it triggers a massive insulin dump into the blood stream, with all that entails.
And, since the body can’t use that much at once, it’s more likely to get converted to fat than smaller bumps.
Fats, compared to sugars, take longer to get broken down and absorbed. That process starts with saliva in the mouth, but doesn’t really get going until later. Iirc, you typically won’t be taking in any of the fats until it hits the small intestine.
And, since the body can’t use that much at once, it’s more likely to get converted to fat than smaller bumps.
yeah 100%. The human body doesn’t store sugar. The only sugar we have available is the 5g in the blood stream at any one time, anything above that gets stored as fat… somewhere.
A single Oreo has 8.3g of sugar, higher then the total blood sugar carrying capacity
I was thinking the opposite. The first one s a huge sugar hit, and every following one.

That’s the real argument no one seems to make. However I’ll still do my best to not buy Oreos as the only way around this issue
