Let’s not even get into the bane of my existence in the Caribbean sailing. Drunken Idiots!
If you watched a loved one die of cancer, you watched glucose at work. If you watched a loved one vanish under dementia, a stroke, or be taken in a flash with a massive cardiac arrest and blocked arteries...you watched glucose and sugar at work, and didn't know it. Most don't. It's far, far more pervasive than any classified drug, or alcohol, and far, far deadlier and destructive. Most don't think of it in terms of anything but weight gain or diabetes. Like hypoxia, the effects are insidious, and the danger often ignored.
