Meat protein can cause more of an insulin spike than pure table sugar. See the comparisons in my video Paleo Diets May Negate Benefits of Exercise (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/paleo-diets-may-negate-benefits-of-exercise/).

I discussed the almond butter study in my last video, How to Prevent Blood Sugar and Triglyceride Spikes after Meals (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/How-to-Prevent-Blood-Sugar-and-Triglyceride-Spikes-after-Meals).

Berries have sugar of their own in them, so how can eating berries lower the blood sugar spike to a meal? Find out in If Fructose is Bad, What About Fruit? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/if-fructose-is-bad-what-about-fruit).
