This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Too much glucose is a great way to get diabetes.

As is an autoimmune disorder

Kind of? Getting fat and eating too much regularly are great ways to get diabetes, and sugar is a great way to get fat.

Sugar is also acidic. Not enough to kill you, but that's why ketoacidosis kills people. It also increases blood viscosity, making it pump harder and causing hypertension. Plus, it causes chronic inflammation, which calcifies triglycerides in your blood to form clots.

Sugar has tons of negative effects.

On the flip side, you require a steady supply of glucose into your cells to live.

Also I'm not gonna look it up to confirm but that ketoacidosis explanation sounds like a grave misunderstanding of what it is.
