From that article:<p>> fat-metabolism in the cells takes place simultaneously with a detoxification of the harmful substances from the blood sugar... The newly discovered process involves one type of metabolite, the ketone acetoacetate, which originates from the body's fat-metabolism, capturing and inhibiting another type of metabolite, methylglyoxal, which originates from the body's sugar metabolism.<p>Does this suggest that consuming sugars with fats is to be avoided? I've seen or recent research suggesting this for metabolic reasons, although can't put my hands on it right now.<p>> harmful substances from the blood sugar, which can avert the damage that can in turn lead to age-related diseases such as diabetes, Alzheimer's and cancer. This indicates that we have a detoxification system which we were not previously aware of.<p>Sugar has become the Bad Guy recently, but I'm not certain there's unequivocal evidence that it's definitely incriminated in Alzheimer's and cancers. Besides individual studies, are there large meta studies that support this?
