    Starches and carbs feed the brain.

    Turns into blood glucose, which the body can use in the brain, but works as hard as it possibly can to put into fat cells. The brain also runs perfectly well on fat, humans store fat not glucose for long term energy.

      Individual results may vary.
      I spent 15 years being 50 pounds underweight.
      No amount of glucose was changing that.

        I’m not talking about your weight, I’m talking about the fuel source for the brain. The body runs on fat, the brain runs on fat. It can, when available, also use glucose - but the entire metabolic system tries to keep glucose levels low and consistent rather then spiked and high.

            Sure, humans are lipvores we store fat we run on fat, stored fat is often seen as weight.

            Regardless if a person is skinny, fat, or in between their brain can run on fat.

                Ahh! let’s talk about ought!

                Since humans store fat, one could see mechanistically we are setup to run on the energy we store: fat

                When humans go more then 4 hours without eating glucose (skipping a meal, keto, fasting, or sleeping) they are running on fat, including the brain. If you want to prevent your brain from using fat you need to drip feed glucose all day (which some people try really hard to do), but when you sleep some of that fat will finally get to be used by the brain. One could reasonably argue the default energy of the human body is fat, hence why it’s used during sleep.

                https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/molecular-neuroscience/articles/10.3389/fnmol.2016.00053/full#h7

                Both short-term PET and arterio-venous difference studies in humans show that brain glucose consumption decreases as ketone availability to the brain increases. These results suggest that ketones are actually the preferred energy substrate for the brain because they enter the brain in proportion to their plasma concentration irrespective of glucose availability; if the energy needs of the brain are being increasingly met by ketones, glucose uptake decreases accordingly. This decrease in brain glucose uptake when both ketones and glucose are available supports the notion that ketones are the brain’s preferred fuel.

                The body will use glucose when available, because glucose is so damaging to cells - glycation happens rapidly. As soon as any glucose elevations are seen in the blood stream insulin is immediately released to push glucose into fat cells and get blood glucose levels back to the low normal.

                However, I’m open to being wrong: Why ‘ought’ the brain use glucose instead of fat?

                  This is a cooking group. While nutrition is an aspect of that this is not a nutrition group.

                  Post your cooking. Not too much. Mostly tasty.
