One of the books I read that was written by a doctor told a story of some people who were shipwrecked. This was years ago and was a documented medical report. These men were sailors, and were transporting sugar and rum. So when they wrecked, that was about all they had to eat for a couple of weeks. According to the story, when they were found, they were in much worse shape than they would have been if they had simply fasted during that time. The sugar was that bad for them. Rather than keeping them alive and healthy, it did very bad damage to their bodies.
Something to think about.
