RE: Can all calories be painted by same brush? The story of two sugars and fat.
I don't think you should just think about whether sugar or fat gets fat, because somehow there are people who have a very fast metabolism and this doesn't affect them. I think we should be more concerned about health, for example, consuming too much sugar can cause diabetes, high glucose and so on. It's the same with fat because our arteries suffer more and the cholesterol will cloud us. Everything that is left over is harmful to our body, it is always important to have a balanced diet.
Fantastic post;) I liked the scientific way of writing it, easy to read and fun.
I agree I should have mentioned that diet is just one important parameter of the whole picture. A person's genetic makeup and their microbiome (which depends on genetic factors as well), predicts how everything would interact. How the diet will actually affect you, also depends on the epigenetics, which is affected by things like stressors in your childhood. There is so much happening in there, some of factors however that are to an extent in control for us are a dietary modification, stress reduction and proper sleep if you think you need it. In a nutshell like you said, we should focus on staying health - both physical and mental.
