A Fructose Damage Blood Test?

HbA1c sugar damaged blood protein – are we measuring the
most important thing.?

Whilst I have no doubt that measuring this is a great way to
detect potential sugar damage, it may only be the tip of the iceberg.

Fructose damage should be measured. Fructose has been
increasing in our foods since the now discredited ‘low-fat high-sugar’ food
fads hit the markets almost 40 years ago.

On a ‘High-Fat Low-Car’ regime I have found that keeping below
70mmol/mol (6%) has prevented all obvious diabetes symptoms from developing.

Avoiding refined Fructose products may be most important
because Fructose is 7x more reactive and damaging towards the bodies protein
mechanisms and enzymes.  The benefits of
avoiding high-fructose foods (HFCS on labels) may be many times greater than
simply managing glucose for modern type 2 diabetics if over the last 40 years HFCS
fructose additives are 7x more dangerous than glucose when it come to sugar damage!

We urgently need
to routinely test for Fructose damage in a blood test!

In the original study

Among the participants with diabetes, the proportion of glycated haemoglobin at 24 months decreased by 0.4±1.3% in the low-fat group, 0.5±1.1% in the Mediterranean-diet group, and 0.9±0.8% in the low-carbohydrate group. The changes were significant (P<0.05) only in the low-carbohydrate group (P=0.45 for the comparison among groups).

A four year follow up concluded

…a 2-year workplace intervention trial involving healthy dietary changes had long-lasting, favourable post-intervention effects, particularly among participants receiving the Mediterranean and low-carbohydrate diets, despite a partial regain of weight.
