5 grams of circulating glucose vs 10 grams (not total per day). I’m showing sucrose (which is 50% glucose / 50% fructose) because I didn’t have pure glucose. I used the term neurotoxin colloquially / incorrectly in relation to nerve damage caused by. diabetic neuropathy.

The problem with the “fake boogeyman” of white sugar is people often swap it out for honey, evaporated cane sugar, or some other sweetener that has a similar or stronger spike effect on your blood glucose. The poison is in the dose, glycemic load should be the first-order concern.
