:: ::

In this episode we discuss:


  • Why our brains favor glucose as their fuel source




  • Why fat is less energetically favorable as a fuel compared to carbohydrates  




  • The problem with reducing the bioenergetic view to the “Ray Peat diet”  




  • The amount of carbohydrates our bodies can handle before storing them as fat




  • Whether consuming carbohydrates causes Alzheimer’s disease 




  • Whether the raising of our blood sugar and the production of insulin is wasteful and harmful
