sugar is added to everything.

Sugar perfectly masks things that taste bad. They need to hide the taste of conservants, emulgators, all that stuff that makes their shitty food cheaper, make it last longer and look good. All for the profit.

The industry uses many different forms (sugar, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, dextrose, etc.).

sugar (sucrose), fructose and dextrose(glucose) is different things and processed by completely different ways in your body.

and Type 2 diabetes develops.

If you are healthy, you can't get diabetes eating sugar. Diabetes is malfunction of insulin generation in human body. Insulin participates in sugar processing, but that does not mean that you could break it with sugar.

only 1% of the brain absolutely requires sugar.

Ketosis is emergency failover process. It is not natural for us. You can force your car to run on 1% of gas or diesel mixed with, say, 99% alcohol or oil respectively, but that does not mean it is a good substitution.

May be there could be population groups who are adapted to that kind of metabolism, say some northern etnicities like saam or eskimos, but we are very differnt from them. And I think that dropping their "keto" diet and switching to sugar one could be dangerous for them. Just like switching from sugar to ketosis for us.

The liver can produce enough sugar the body absolutely needs from fat and produces ketones from fat for the rest.

Human body can produce necessary substances from nearly anything. But that does not mean it should be forced to do so.

standard diet is too carbohydrate heavy.

That diet is for reason. We adopted to it by thousands years and hundreds of generations. In the past, when times was not so pleasant, only ones who, along the other tings, eat right food, survived and produced descendants. We are adopted to our cuisine and our cuisine adopted to us. And it will be a huge mistake to drop it.

I just learned about a study showing one 75g intake of sugar measurably reduces testosterone

Beer reduces testosterone too. And many other things too. Effect is temporary and we are definitely not going to change a sex. It could be some kind of survival mechanism for europeans. High testosterone means more aggression, so, the nature find out a ways to lower it's level in european men to allow civilisation development. Including cuisine.

High testosterone tribes in Africa still eating each other and live in straw houses.

Too high testosterone level for men is as bad as low one.

Sugar is not the thing you should avoid. It is not harmful for us. But the things they try to hide with sugar taste are.

Many health problems and diets as a solution to them appeared when corporations took a significant part of food market.

I could tell you "awful" thing - fast food is not bad because of ingredients. Say, burger - basically it is bread, vegetables, may be some cheese and piece of meat. Perfect combination for european. Perfectly aligned with usual cuisine. It can't be bad. Hundreds of generations of our ancestors eat the same thing and we are here. It is all that shitty additions, unusual for europeans, like soy beans and antibiotics in chop, stabilisers and emulgators in sauce and bread, pesticides in vegetables and god knows what they add to cheese are bad. Make your own burger from good ingredients, and it will be as good and harmless, as your usual food.
