So carbohydrates do not cause insulin resistance. You guys, if carbohydrates cause insulin resistance, if honey every day cause insulin resistance, this would look very differently.
The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
and so I did one 10-day period with the continuous glucose monitor and I've got all those readings and during that period I did I did carbohydrates when I included things like coconut water like sweet like squash and honey and what I found were some really interesting things but overall what I found was that it didn't cause me to explode I didn't get fat I didn't get sick my sleep didn't suffer and I actually kind of liked the way I felt with some carbohydrates in my diet from time to time
so clearly two to three months i have 100 plus grams of honey did nothing to my insulin sensitivity
