Lately I’ve noticed that it’s near impossible for me to feel fully vibrant with energy without some form of refined sucrose in my diet. I positively feel better with some syrup in my milk, or sugar on my sweet potatoes, but I wonder whether this is just because I am in a position of unoptimal metabolic health, and I have to use the sugar as an energy boost.
Milk and sweet potatoes without added sucrose just doesn’t taste right and won’t digest right for me. However, with sucrose, I feel so much better and alive.
In a truly healthy individual, is refined sucrose unnecessary? Is my dependence on sucrose because I’m metabolically unhealthy? Fruit won’t cut it, there are distinct times when I want refined sucrose and not fruit.
Or are we perhaps at a unique point in human evolution, where no one could truly be as healthy as we can be now, with our unlimited access to sucrose and the wide variety of foods we can eat.
