    I'm persuaded by the mounting research on sugar's impact, but there are 23 grams of sugar in one Lara Bar!! I'm a vegan!! how can this work?

        @avantgame hard to do and stay vegan/veg. Most ppl up meat/fat intake. Note that starch basically = sugar as well post-amylase.

        @avantgame I just started trying this strawberry preserves that has NO sugar (it uses natural sugar alcohol Xylitol): http://natureshollow.com/ecommerce/product/18/Strawberry-Sugar-Free-Jam …

        @avantgame Maybe you can write a blog post after you figure out your strategy? I'm veg and trying to reduce sugar / grains but super hard.

        @dylanjfield it IS superhard!!! one strategy is to focus on natural sugars where glucose content is higher than fructose

        @avantgame arg! That is tough, I love Lara bars too. I'm transitioning vegan w/ occasional fish crutch. I'm gluten free too, extra nutty.

        @avantgame But isn't natural sugar different than added sugar? I eat a ton of fruit. Never really worry about that.

        @SarahJLA From the sci literature I've read, natural sugar has same impacts it's just harder to get high doses b/c of water/fiber

        @avantgame I tried cutting back on sugars, breads, pasta, and rice just M-F. Wow, so hard. Then again, I'm a vegan who doesn't like to cook.

        @avantgame Dont most studies assume a "normal" (meat eating) diet? Maybe effects of sugar at least mitigated by no meat/healthier lifestyle?
