HIGH FRUCTOSE Acclerated Aging

[gilrose]

Doesn't this high fruit diet lead to a high glycemic load which is like eating lots of fructose? and from research that leads to accelerated aging.

Not if you balance it with fats at the same time.

A high total daily glycemic load indeed accelerates ageing.
With this diet, your total daily glycemic load is lower.
That is largely caused by eating lots of small meals, instead of a few big meals, and also by balancing fats and sugars all the time.

Most people tend to think that your glycemic load is connected to the sugar contents of the food you eat. But thats not true.
What determines the glycemic load, is the size of the extra energy that is ingested on top of the direct need for energy in the blood.
with this diet, you are constantly busy replenishing lost blood sugars (and fats), so that the load on the insulin system is relatively small. Only after taking in extra energy, this extra energy will be stored as glycogen (liver and muscles) or even fat (glycerol and fatty acids). That energy is stored by the functioning of the insulin system. The greater the glycemic load (extra energy on top of immediately required amount), the greater the loading of the insulin system.

With this diet the insulin system is loaded much less.
That is why insulin-1 patients (who dont produce enough insulin by birth)need to inject about 40% less supplementary insulin while on this diet.

What determines the size of the loading?
The incoming energy that needs to be stored.
The bigger your meals, the greater the percentage of energy that needs to be stored.
