“However, the refined sugar typically added to beverages like tea or coffee is a highly processed product derived from sugar cane or sugar beets. It undergoes rapid metabolism in the body, causing insulin and blood sugar levels to skyrocket.”

“Insulin resistance impairs this process, resulting in higher blood sugar and increased fat release into the bloodstream. Controls showed lower de novo lipogenesis (the liver's production of new fat from non-fat sources) at night, while MASLD participants kept this pathway elevated.”

“They also contain essential fiber, which supports digestion and regulates blood sugar levels. Fruit juices, on the other hand, contain little fiber, are high in natural sugars, and can cause rapid blood sugar spikes, impairing metabolism.”

“CBT-I improves HbA1c, blood pressure, sleep quality, sleep duration, and insomnia symptoms in adults with cardiometabolic syndrome. It involves: Stimulus control: Associating the bedroom with sleep and avoiding non-sleep activities in bed.”

“- Dr. George Brooks https://www.foundmyfitness.com/episodes/george-brooks'] Lactate is a natural byproduct of glycolysis – the breakdown of sugar. It’s an essential fuel that cells in the heart, liver, and brain rely on.”

“Xylitol is a sugar alcohol commonly used as a sugar substitute in various processed foods, such as chewing gum and candies. A recent study found that xylitol consumption may increase the risk of major cardiovascular events.”

“In monkeys, aspartame triggered an insulin spike comparable to the effects of sucrose. However, instead of raising blood sugar, it lowered it, potentially driving insulin resistance, inflammation, and increased risk of atherosclerosis.”

“Examples of sugar-sweetened beverages include regular soda (not sugar-free), sports drinks, energy drinks, and coffees, teas, and waters that contain added sugars. Data from a new study indicate that sugar-sweetened beverage consumption is associated with dyslipidemia. Dyslipidemia is a condition in which blood levels of lipids (such as cholesterol or triglycerides) are abnormal.”

“‘Exercise snacks’ before meals: a novel strategy to improve glycaemic control in individuals with insulin resistance - Short, intense exercise before meals effectively improves blood sugar control in those with insulin resistance.”
