Sugar

[arce1988]

Personal diet

Kenyon's research prompted her to make personal dietary changes. She stopped eating high glycemic index carbohydrates when she discovered that putting sugar on the worms' food shortened their lifespans.[4]
Kenyon follows a low glycemic index diet similar to the Atkins diet[4] and the South Beach Diet.[5]
No desserts. No sweets. No potatoes. No rice. No bread. No pasta. When I say ‘no,’ I mean ‘no, or not much,’ she notes. Instead, eat green vegetables. Eat the fruits that aren't the sweet fruits, like melon. Bananas? Bananas are a little sweet. Meat? Meat, yes, of course. Avocados. All vegetables. Nuts. Fish. Chicken. That's what I eat. Cheese. Eggs. And one glass of red wine a day.[6]
But the diet is unproven, she cautions, and she's not recommending it for all. Nevertheless, she's pleased with its performance for her. 'I have a fabulous blood profile. My triglyceride level is only 30, and anything below 200 is good.'[6]
You have to eat something, and you just have to make your best judgment. And that's my best judgment. Plus, I feel better. Plus, I'm thin—I weigh what I weighed when I was in college. I feel great —you feel like you're a kid again. It's amazing.[6]
In the past, Kenyon had also briefly experimented with a calorie restriction diet for two days, but couldn't stand the constant hunger.[4]

Seeing as sugar containing foods are seasonal, it seems logical to assume that human beings weren't meant to consume sugar in large quantities. 

[Archer77]

even the slow carbs are nothing but sugar chained together.

the amount makes the poison.

most ppl overestimate how much they "need"

What's your opinion on a daily requirement?

No. He does that to remain in touch with his inner gorilla.

not necessarily because you can can or bottle sugary fruits for preservation

all 160, er... i mean 220 of it

You can do this but that doesn't change the most important fact that the human body has not evolve much since before the time of food preservation.  Physiologically, human are essentially the same as their hunter/ gatherer ancestors.

Maybe but the variety of foods capable of being store for any appreciable time before the advent of agriculture would have been extremely limited.  High fructose foods spoil fast because particular bacteria are specialized to consume them.  You can dry fruits but that changes bioavailability of nutrients.  It's even more complex when you calculate the energy expenditures required to obtain food on pre-agricultural people's in relation to food availability.

there probably wouldnt have been much of a need to preserve fruits anyways since they are fresh seasonal mainly preserving nuts and fats would have been key

of course meat

i can defnitly see fats being important in the winter so would meat

but nowadays meat is unessential because of heme-iron

That was my original point.  Carbohydrate laden foods are seasonal so probably weren't consume in high quantities all year long. It would makes sense in context of the switch to ketone use in the absence of carbohydrates.

Human beings weren`t "meant" to wear eyeglasses, take medication for any health problems, drive cars, fly planes, build cities, invent electricity-so I guess we don`t need those things either.

No they weren`t.  Where humans originated, Africa, fruit trees produce year round.

this is also true

us humans adapt any way we can

even eye glasses  are an adaption they might not be as optimal as quittin heme iron but they are good enough

Honey doesn`t spoil.  Either does Corn Syrup.

How long can Karo syrup be stored?
   
Karo syrup is safe to eat for an indefinite period of time whether it has been opened or not opened. However, for best results we recommend using before the "Best by" date stamped on the container. Bottles may be refrigerated after opening, however, the syrup will be thicker and slower to pour.
