2 published verifications about Sugar Sugar ×
“Sugar deficiency increases testosterone levels in men.”
The evidence does not show that sugar deficiency raises testosterone in men generally. Better-quality research finds low-carbohydrate diets do not consistently increase resting testosterone, and some versions may lower it. Limited benefits seen in certain hypogonadal men with metabolic syndrome cannot be generalized to all men or attributed specifically to "sugar deficiency."
“Consuming fresh fruit does not typically result in excessive sugar intake for most people.”
This claim is well-supported. The WHO, ADA, CDC, NHS, and Harvard all consistently affirm that fresh fruit sugars — packaged with fiber and nutrients — do not constitute excessive sugar intake for most people at typical consumption levels. WHO guidelines explicitly exclude whole fruit from free-sugar reduction targets, citing no evidence of adverse effects. Minor caveats apply: people with diabetes or insulin resistance may need to monitor fruit intake, and very high-sugar fruits in large portions can add up. But the claim's "typically" and "most people" qualifiers accurately reflect the scientific consensus.
