⚡ Here's how this experiment works:

- 📜 Original Format on Sunday:We'll still serve our old, longread version for the classic crowd.
- 🎯 Your Mission:Compare both styles and tell us which you like better—daily bites or the Sunday big read?
TUESDAY: CARBS & PANCREAS
👉 Today, we tackle the sweet side of life: sugar spikes, insulin drama, and a pinch of biochemical wizardry.
1️⃣ Carb Spikes: Myth or Fact?
