The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
There's also historical data of free living humans (hunter-gatherer types) who eat LOTS of honey/fruit or carbohydrates in general (certainly "spiking" their blood sugar) and do NOT develop evidence of insulin resistance, obesity, etc..
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.
that's a lot of quote sugar that i don't think is a big deal at all in this case because it's a native sugar it's evolutionarily consistent
when we were with the hadza we ate honey and it was amazing and there's lots of evidence from our observations and many people working with the hadza and other tribes like the mbuti pygmies that eating a lot of your calories from honey do not lead to metabolic dysfunction it clearly does not lead to a problem
what about honey is that going to be bad for us probably not the hots that eat honey intensely intensely intensely i ate it with them with the bugs in the comb and they went ham on the honey trust me they eat a lot of honey and they demonstrate exquisite glucose tolerance that's been demonstrated many times in multiple studies with the hadza and other hunter-gatherers
the anthropology that I've read suggests that where honey is available our ancestors ate it
specifically carbohydrates from sugar containing foods like honey and fruit which have been widely vilified but I think have a very indispensable valuable place in the human diet and always have evolutionarily
