Re: A strict paleo diet can make you hypo-thyroid

Excess Pyruvate will be reconverted to glucose by gluconeogenesis. Excess glucose will be converted into Glycogen by Glycogenesis in the liver and/or muscles

Your brain mainly utilizes glucose and is not able to utilize fatty acids (some exceptions)

when your brain isn't getting enough glucose, like after 3 days of fasting, your body is starting to break down fatty acids into Ketone bodies. This is a very inefficient way of producing energy. plus a dangerous fenomen called ketoacidosis
can occur. In this state you've got a lowered blood pH

Nothing is poisonous, it's the dosis that makes something a poison..
by your description of a poison, even water is poisonous

stating that carbs are poisons, is absolutely bullcrap

Just don't eat refined carbs and 'simple' carbs too often. These will make your blood glucose level skyrocket, because they don't need any processing by the liver.
