glucose levels.

For example, if you're having a huge fight with your partner and he / she threatens to leave you, your body will react
on the same way it would if you were in the middle of an earthquake — the heart starts racing, the
blood vessels dilate and increase the amount of
blood pumped to large muscles, the muscles tense up and your endocrine system increases the production of cortisol and epinephrine, which then influence the liver to produce
more glucose and provide energy for an efficient «fight or flight» reaction to the dangerous situation.

more than table sugar (table sugar is sucrose, which, by the way, is not a simple sugar — it is two molecules,
glucose and fructose, bonded together).

blood glucose levels.
Paul Jaminet and all the other safe starch advocates concentrate
on blood glucose... and though it is unwise, to say the least, to eat
glucose when one is trying to keep
blood glucose down, diabetes is not a disease of
blood glucose, but of insulin, and
