Fucking nutribullet bullshit.
I have one and it comes with this smoothie menu which needs to come with a health warning. People that think that fructose has no effect on insulin need to do a bit more research. When you blend 4 or 5 pieces of fruit together, you create a glycemic load that your body doesn't want.
This process also leads to something called insulin resistance in the liver, meaning that the liver stops “seeing” the insulin in the blood. When that happens, the body starts producing even more insulin...
Now, if you add vegetables on the other hand, and some seeds/nuts etc, you have a different ball game. This advice is in the Nutribullet manuals, but i don't think it explains why. Obvs.
