What IS healthier: acarbose + rice/bread or high-monosaccharide fruit? (like apples, berries, pears, kiwi)

#1

acarbose can almost totally nullify the glucose spike from rice/bread. It can’t do this for many fruits. 120 calories of fruit can destroy my BG control for the rest of the day. the BG increase from 400 calories of beans+acarbose is like negligible

tbf, it’s high-sucrose fruit + acarbose that is prolly healthiest.

#2

Fruits are worse for your teeth and therefore your body since they not only contain fermentable carbs but are also acidic

#3

You’re mistaken on the relative effect size, as you have been in the past. Yes A FEW FRUITS are but it’s a minor effect and tooth regeneration in the future is not that hard of a problem. there’s not overwhelming evidence between citrus fruits and decay on the epidemiological level

#4

I am not mistaken, this is my work and no we will never be able to regenerate teeth, they grow from a germ layer that disappears unlike bone which has as periost

#5

Citation?

You feel very low carb/keto dogmatic.

#6

Any textbook on dentistry and cariology…

#7

Yeah, right. That and a wikipedia article.

I think you mix fruits with added sucrose (table sugar) in packed foods.

#8

Nope fermentable sugar is fermentable sugar no matter the source but what makes fruit even worse is the acidity…
