Apple juice has more fructose than a Coke. We are giving our kids apple juice and wondering why diabetes is an epidemic. And most of what people are eating for breakfast is dessert. It's the easiest way to start blowing it, because when you have dessert for breakfast, the cereal with milk, the bread with jam, you get your blood sugar going up. And if your blood sugar goes up, your insulin has to come up. And if your insulin comes up, your insulin says, you know, we gotta get your blood sugar back down, because blood sugar is toxic when it's elevated. In fact, one of the crazy things now we know is blood Sugar is over 90 consistently, which I look at a lot of fasting blood sugars, and that's starting to become the new average. You have, like, five times the rate of dementia. It's one of the biggest things going. Yeah.
