Summary

Why is sugar so toxic? Is there a difference between how glucose and fructose get metabolized? Carl and Richard answer these and other important questions about sugar on this episode of 2 Keto Dudes. Recipes this week include Pad Thai Chicken from Carl and the Maple Bacon Ice cream from Richard. Errata Richard mistakenly referred to the ancient greeks discovering that Diabetes is related to sugar by tasting it .... actually that's not true. In 1674, it was English physician Thomas Willis discovered that the urine of a diabetic Patient was "wonderfully sweet as if imbued with Honey". The ancient greeks however first noticed that people who had diabetes had insatiable thirst and peed all the time - so the name diabetes is greek for "Siphon". They have a sense of humor those ancient greeks. Richard said (11:25) that "Lustig says ... that fructose causes insulin sensitivity" ... but of course he intended to say "fructose causes the insulin resistance that ultimately makes glucose an acute poison" Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/2-keto-dudes/donations

0:19.0	about three weeks ago I started a ketogenic diet to take control of my metabolism and tame the wild beast.
0:27.0	Hi I'm Richard Morris in Canberra, Australia.
0:32.0	I've actually been on a keto diet since April of 2014.

0:40.0	Within six months of starting the diet, all my biomarkers of disease had disappeared.
0:45.4	And I also have type 2 diabetes and we're going to share the progress of my journey into
0:49.3	kitosis and keto adaptation and Richard's experience thriving for years on
0:54.5	kitosis and hopefully that might help a few people who are curious

1:11.0	We've done some research into our own deranged
1:14.2	metabolisms and the science behind them and we hope to share some of that research.

1:31.0	when you sit down all day. This is very true. But we're also both foodies. We really love eating. Obviously, that's why we got heavy in the first place. But we like good food. So we're also going to share some of the great food that we can eat on this
1:43.7	diet and in every episode of two keto dudes both Richard and I will share a recipe for
