I'm going to go with a corollary to Murphy's law. Since anything that can go wrong will, every activity or substance is going to be the problem for somebody.

As far as I can tell, the only thing that dieticians are consistently against is sugar in large doses.

They are also for the hard to market, varied diet but largely fruit and vegetables, moderate exercise, little or no alcohol, and regular checkups.

I'm failing to some degree on these, I admit.

They are also for 7-8 bite sized 250 calorie meals every other waking hour. A feat that can only be feasibly achieved via living off ready-made readily-purchasable health snacks™.

There is no money in fasting, intermittent or otherwise.

No, I wouldn’t say this is modern consistent dietary advice. So many people that make it there business to talk about diet are hyping intermittent fasting now.

There is, and that’s a good thing for both sides of the transaction.

Not all sugar is the same. In fruit is in fructose form and "fiber bound". Refined sugar is the devil, but so are most refined products.

Fructose be absorbed by cells with little to non insulin. Also, in the company of fiber it gets absorbed slower into the blood (less sugar spike).

Finally there's the fat-sugar issue: in the company of fat (fatty blood) the muscle/liver cells become less insulin sensitive.

I regularly binge on fruit, but only when i have not eaten ANY fat yet for that day. I do this for 2+ years now and I find a lot of benefits.

Fructose, in fact is the villain. Check out https://peterattiamd.com/rickjohnson/

I suspect it would be hard to eat raw fruit in sufficient volume for it to be an issue though?

Although for sure, you have to be careful drinking a lot of fruit juice etc.

This to me is like telling a cow it should not eat grass. lol
