If you doubt me, drink a liter of orange juice (alone - with nothing else) for lunch. I don't know if it is a good idea to recommend this. I am not a doctor. See your doctor for advice (but he won't know ****). And you will be in pain for 3-4 days. And it may be worse after that. But if you do it and you have pain you will know quickly if you should drive sugars (natural and man made) to close to zero in your diet. And you will have learned something critical about your body.

I finally know why I got worse this year while I was eating a sugar laden protein bar up to twice per day!

Thoughts?

P.S: The same goes for alcohol, coffee (caf and decaf), and many artificial sweeteners (I don't know about Steevia!).
