The core premise is that while glucose is our body's primary energy source, delivering it too quickly into the bloodstream causes "glucose spikes," which trigger a cascade of harmful biological reactions.

The Dangers of Glucose Spikes When glucose floods the body rapidly, it causes three main internal issues:

• Oxidative Stress: Cells become overwhelmed and produce free radicals, which can damage DNA and cause cellular dysfunction.
• Glycation and Inflammation: Glucose molecules damage other molecules in a "browning" process that accelerates aging, wrinkles, and chronic inflammation.
• Insulin Release and Fat Gain: To protect the body from excess glucose, the pancreas releases insulin to stash it away into the liver, muscles, and fat cells. Chronically  ...
