We can slug down more sugar in thirty minutes than our ancestors would consume in an entire year. Since the primary function of cortisol is to balance the effect of insulin, it’s pretty simple: When insulin is chronically high, so is cortisol. If you eat more than 30 grams of sugar a day (less for kids), you are living in chronic stress, even without any other stressors present.
