For context: I never initiate political conversation at the table. I think it is impolite, and I doubt most of the people at my table even know my political orientation. But this year, fuck it. If anyone brings up Vaccines, I want to be well prepared to ruin Thanksgiving for everyone with facts and logic.

[Edit: I'd also appreciate suggestions for side dishes to bring]

In terms of insulin production (insulin is the necessary evil for life that makes sugar a poison), potatoes are worse than eating candy or drinking soda. The less insulin your body makes (or takes if you're diabetic), the healthier you will be.

Backwards mate.

Sugar aka plant causes an emergency response because we have to maintain an narrow ranged amount in our blood or we die.

Insulin is that response.

Over time insulin gets less and less effective until we are labeled diabetic.
