This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Kind of? Getting fat and eating too much regularly are great ways to get diabetes, and sugar is a great way to get fat.
There are plenty of skinny type 2 diabetes (look at china). Persistently elevated glucose levels cause insulin resistance.
Sugar is also acidic. Not enough to kill you, but that's why ketoacidosis kills people. It also increases blood viscosity, making it pump harder and causing hypertension. Plus, it causes chronic inflammation, which calcifies triglycerides in your blood to form clots.
Sugar has tons of negative effects.
On the flip side, you require a steady supply of glucose into your cells to live.
Also I'm not gonna look it up to confirm but that ketoacidosis explanation sounds like a grave misunderstanding of what it is.
Honestly not sure how I should respond to this. I'd rather you either research it yourself and call me out or simply nod and follow along. But you chose this weird middle ground.
Gluconeogenesis is a thing, go look it up. Again, you're doing these half-assed "gotchas" without doing any research of your own
100% Agreed

The body can produce glucose on demand from stored fat, its not a essential macronutrient.
