Let’s Chat About Sugar in Fruits vs. Chocolate and Eating Fruit on an Empty Stomach

Hey, so I was catching up with my daughter Dr. Fareha Jamal—she’s a Doctor of Pharmacy working at BioNTech in Munich, Germany (you can check out her LinkedIn here)—and Maryam Jamal, a 5th-year medical student who’s super into writing about health. We got into this whole discussion about sugar in fruits versus sugar in chocolate, and whether eating fruit on an empty stomach is the way to go. It’s stuff I’ve been curious about myself, especially since I’m diabetic and still […]

“Mitochondria regulate metabolism, but solar light influences its rate. Photobiomodulation (PBM) with red light (670 nm) increases mitochondrial membrane potentials and adenosine triphosphate production and may increase glucose demand. Here we show, with a glucose tolerance test, that PBM of normal subjects significantly reduces blood sugar levels.” #dna #isogg #genetics #infared #lighttherapy #bloodsugar #glucose #diabetes2

Birds have incredibly high blood sugar, but show no ill effects, so what is protecting them? Csongor Vágási and colleagues wondered if antioxidants might be the solution, but after checking more than 1700 birds, it turns out that antioxidants are not the protective silver bullet
