> fat-metabolism in the cells takes place simultaneously with a detoxification of the harmful substances from the blood sugar... The newly discovered process involves one type of metabolite, the ketone acetoacetate, which originates from the body's fat-metabolism, capturing and inhibiting another type of metabolite, methylglyoxal, which originates from the body's sugar metabolism.
Does this suggest that consuming sugars with fats is to be avoided? I've seen or recent research suggesting this for metabolic reasons, although can't put my hands on it right now.
> harmful substances from the blood sugar, which can avert the damage that can in turn lead to age-related diseases such as diabetes, Alzheimer's and cancer. This indicates that we have a detoxification system which we were not previously aware of.
Sugar has become the Bad Guy recently, but I'm not certain there's unequivocal evidence that it's definitely incriminated in Alzheimer's and cancers. Besides individual studies, are there large meta studies that support this?
I'm not sure about studies, but many cancer patients go on a very strict keto (very low carb (sugar), moderate protein and high fat) diet in hopes of shrinking the cancer tumors. Being on a keto diet will cause your body to switch from using glucose as a fuel source to using ketones. It's also a diet used for epilepsy treatment and by diabetics who have claimed to reverse their diabetes by staying on the diet.
This research seems to suggest their experience isn't just anecdotal.
