"Glucose in the blood is toxic? If glucose is toxic then why does the glycolysis exist? Why does the human body have 10 specific enzymes specifically evolutionary adapted to break down glucose? Why does the human body have another additional 8 specific enzymes to convert glucose to ATP in the Citric Acid Cycle? If glucose is so toxic for us then why is the human body mainly adapted to convert glucose into energy? This is stuff we learn at elementry chemistry in 12th grade. I have students that are 16 years old that are supposed to know this in order to pass high school. There is so much misinformation and misunderstanding in your reasoning behind glucose and how ATP production works. Glucose is NOT toxic. Glucose is even stored in the body as energy in your muscle cells as glycogen. This is ridiculous. Why do you even call yourself a "nutritionist" when your basic understanding of human cellular biology is less than that of a high school student. Because anyone can call themselves a "nutritionist". It's an unregulated title that anyone can have and that is in itself meaningless. This is pathetic to say the least." - YT comment on a high fat promoters video.
