The best explanation (dry/ wet) of the difference between cane/beet sugar and fructose I've ever come across, and I've been talking about sugars for decades. It may still vary per individual which sugar works best for what purpose (fructose dizzies many a mind; cane or beet sugar have their medicinal properties in say an Anthroposophic homeopathic medication), but the point is that we need to start to move away from the strictly molecular level of what nourishes us and promotes our spiritual powers to move and groove; we have to understand that hormones are the cart and not the ox in a transubstantial and intangible process.

Only your consideration on what makes us stick out as more than life-forms is more ingenious.

The work we need to give our gut is quintessential to health and its finer, multiplex and very subtle side is utterly neglected by nearly all diets and healthy living counsellors.

Balancing out alkaline with acid is a great place to start. Respecting the life that enables our living well (restored, built up anew each moment) is the next: we are killing ourselves by not considering our dearest and nearest pets (bacteria and archaea). One may even argue that some are so culinary expert that they would object to a blender when a pestle could suffice....

Not quite a vegan but for cakes it makes a lot of sense!
