[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2090446, member: 196898"] The body uses nightime for calling out the maintenance gangs. It is a time when blood sugars normally fall, and this is the signal to trigger the repair cycle. Low bgl is essential to this process, but apples are not really villains, Much of the sugar in an apple is fructose, and that will not directly spike sugars since it is handled by the liver not the muscles, Riper the fruit, the more sucrose and less fructose it gives you since ripening is the process of converting fructose to sucrose. Artificial sweetners have been shown to have some effect on blood sugar in that the sweetner in the mouth triggers the amylase enzyme that tells the body to prepare for sugar incoming. If there is no actual sugar, then it is empty calories but the body has already started to respond as if there was, so your insulin levels [if a T2D] will be released (stage 1 insulin response). So artificial aweetners are bad news for T2D since it keeps the insulin levels higher than they need to be, and this csn make insulin resistance worse. [/QUOTE]
