In todays episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, and I will be doing a solo episode looking at a lot of the myths and misconceptions on sugar. Is it really the toxin that people believe it to be? Should we be avoiding it like the plague and eating carnivore or super low cal? I will also leave you with some tips on how to prevent the risks of sugar consumption. I’ll be covering the following claims and breaking down the science.

• Claim 1: Sugar causes a dangerous spike in blood sugar and insulin
• Claim 2: Sugar is solely responsible for the obesity epidemic
• Claim 3: Sugar Causes Diabetes
• Claim 4: Sugar causes inflammation and chronic disease death
