People don't believe I drink white sugar for calories despite the fact that it's literally the cheapest and most efficiently consumable carb source available. The only downside to sugar is the same as the upside: the volumetric caloric density is extremely high, therefore it's ideal for hard gainers and poisonous for fat people. For someone like me who force feeds 5000+ calories per day and still stays lean, it's quite obviously an ideal carb source. I'd have to spend twice the money on food if I didn't rely so heavily on sugar. I guarantee you that anyone who thinks it is a bad carb source for bulking has been completely brainwashed their entire lives.
There are people out there who genuinely got raised to think sugar is some form of poison. Most people don't even know how sugars, starches and carbohydrates relate to each other lmfao. I've consumed nearly 2kg of white sugar within a day before (to refeed) and felt great.
- Starches and sugars both simply convert into glucose, and the glycemic index measures how quickly they do that
- White sugar has a lower glycemic index than white rice, white bread, potatoes
- White sugar is only 50% fructose rather than the sugar in fruits which is pure fructose (fructose is more liver toxic than glucose)
- Inb4 "it's processed". Nice buzzword. What's inherently wrong with a food being processed?
- Inb4 "you'll get diabetes". My hba1c and homa-ir are perfectly in range which means my response to insulin is perfect, and I've been consuming white sugar for over 2 years. my fasting blood glucose hasn't even budged a single decimal. if you seriously think diabetes can come out of nowhere when I'm staying perfectly insulin sensitive then you're a moron.
I'll respond to disagreements below. Please tell me why white sugar is a bad carb source.
