Yes. Fructose is a primary fuel for the liver and for sperm. Liver glycogen is important for maintaining blood sugar levels.

Overconsumption of fructose without physical activity may contribute to fatty liver, but dietary choline attenuates this. Various B vitamins (like Thiamine) provide the cofactors necessary for healthy fructose metabolism.

If you pair simple sugars with a balanced meal, the digestion will also be slowed.

Additionally, if muscle glycogen stores are depleted, quick absorption of glucose may even be preferable.

Stop thinking in a vacuum. A glass of juice or a spoonful of white sugar isn't going to put you on dialysis.

Just as salt, we have God/evolution given taste buds for sugar. If you actually taste the sugar you are consuming, you may find you have your fill of it sooner than a complex carbohydrate with no flavor.

Okay, well I am currently in the 1200 lbs club as a manlet at a bodyweight of 176 if you think that establishes credibility. Ive also a decade of experience with various diets, including keto and carnivore.

If you dont eat carbs, your body will still synthesize them via gluconeogenesis.

We can agree that for long, slow bouts of exercise, fatty acids are a great energy source.

But for high intensity bodybuilding or powerlifting or even sprinting, keto is trash.

Burning ketones places a lot of burden on both the adrenals and the lungs. Burning fat as a primary fuel source requires elevated stress hormones like adrenaline to liberate the fatty acids, and you'll find your lungs working harder since you'll have little anaerobic energy. This high stress environment, in the long run, will absolutely lower your testosterone levels and thyroid hormones.

You are retarded if you think sugar itself is any different than Complex carb sources besides lack of micronutrients.

You are retarded if you don't understand that sugar is the body's preferred fuel for physical activity.

You are retarded if you don't understand that there is a threshold of sugars you can enjoy in order to build up muscle and liver glycogen without turnover into fat.

Keto is for sedentary, slow energy burn. Any high performing athlete with muscle mass knows that low carb diets are shit for performance. Keto is fine if you plan on sitting around all day on your ass and going on walks.

When your stomach acid breaks down a potato or rice, the unsweet chains of carbs are broken down into simple glucose which is sweet. Simply not tasting sweet doesn't change the net metabolic effects.

Organic orange juice is different than a God damn little Debbie cake. It's the combinations of sugars and fats which may cause people to overeat and get fat, but at the end of the day, it's calories in calories out.

Could be many things.

Low Copper -
Copper stimulates the production of the thyroxine hormone T4 and prevents over absorption of T4 in the blood cells by controlling the body's calcium levels.

Low magnesium-
We need magnesium to convert the inactive thyroid hormone T4 into the active thyroid hormone T3. Without this conversion, cells do not receive the more potent form of thyroid hormone. Therefore, when magnesium levels are low, our thyroid is not able to function correctly.

Low Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxal 5 phosphate)
B6 lowers prolactin and TSH. This can be because it lowers excess TRH, which stimulates the release of TSH and prolactin.

Low Zinc,
Zinc is involved in the synthesis of TSH (since it participates in the synthesis of TRH. Zinc is involved in the synthesis of thyroid hormones. Zinc supplementation has been shown to increase T3.

Low Iron
Low iron can reduce TPO activity
and can increase rT3 deiodination, leading to thyroid hormone metabolism by inactivating pathway. Low iron can lead to inefficient erythropoiesis, consequently causing a decrease in oxygen transport to tissues. Oxygen is crucial for various enzymatic reactions (including thyroid hormone synthesis)
Low iron can result in low T4 and T3 levels.

Avoid calorie deficits.

Avoid plastics.

Manage stress.

The vitamins from plants pale in comparison to beef liver or really just meat in general.
