Did anyone see this sad article?
This Bodybuilding Mom Died From a Protein Overdose — Here's What You Need to Know
I think the title is a misnomer and an important distinction. In my opinion this woman died from eating a low carb diet and not eating sugar. She was eating nothing but protein and then working out intensely and so her body was having to breakdown her own muscles for glucose and the by products of protein breakdown poisoned her. It is a very sad story but also frightening because I know so many people eating low carb diets who think sugar is evil. Ray Peat's work is so important but is dismissed by so many people because he makes the claim that the human body runs on sugar. Isn't that basic physiology?
Any thoughts?
