Introduction
Sugar in the Tayyibat System is not presented by Dr. Diaa Al-Awadi, may Allah have mercy on him, as an absolute enemy of the body. Rather, it is presented as an essential entry point for understanding energy, hydrogen, glucose, liver activity, and the relationship between bacteria, fungi, and fermentation inside and outside the body. Dr. Diaa Al-Awadi, may Allah have mercy on him, explains that the common question — if the body produces sugar in the liver, why does a person need sugar from food? — cannot be answered with a short sentence. It needs an understanding of the fate of glucose between storage and use, and its role in operating energy pathways and recycling certain compounds inside the liver.

Sugar in the Tayyibat System and the Liver Question
Dr. Diaa Al-Awadi, may Allah have mercy on him, starts from a question that is often repeated: if the body can produce sugar in the liver, why does it need to eat sugar? He answers through a detailed explanation that distinguishes between the body’s ability to produce glucose when needed and the fact that this production itself requires internal pathways that do not work from nothing. In this view, the liver is not a machine that produces sugar without cost. It is a central organ that needs inputs, energy, oxygen, mitochondria, and active chemical pathways. Therefore, glucose production in the liver is not proof that external sugar is unnecessary. Rather, it may be part of a wider cycle that needs a “starting currency” from glucose in order to keep operating efficiently.
Sugar in the Tayyibat System Outside the Body: Fermentation Before Energy
Dr. Diaa Al-Awadi, may Allah have mercy on him, begins by explaining sugar outside the body through sensory examples, such as sugarcane juice that turns over time into alcohol and then vinegar, and bread that grows mold because of fungal and bacterial activity. The idea here is that sugar does not remain still when microorganisms reach it. It becomes a material that can be fermented and consumed. Fungi and bacteria feed on the sugary content and produce clear changes in color, smell, texture, and gases. From here, sugar enters an important area of understanding: it is a biologically active substance in its effect, moving within living systems and becoming a source of activity for bacteria and fungi outside the body and inside it.
Fermentation and Sugar: What Happens to Sugarcane Juice and Bread?
When Dr. Diaa Al-Awadi, may Allah have mercy on him, mentions sugarcane juice that was left for a while until its smell changed and it turned into vinegar, he uses the example to explain that sugar, when exposed to bacteria and fungi, enters a fermentation process. Similarly, when he presents moldy bread, he explains that mold is not random spoilage only, but a visible form of sugar consumption in bread by microorganisms. These organisms feed, multiply, and produce spores, so mold appears as a visible sign of their activity. Therefore, understanding sugar outside the body becomes an introduction to understanding what bacteria and fungi may do inside the intestines and colon when they find sugary or food content to interact with.
Sugar in the Tayyibat System and Its Relationship with Bacteria and Fungi
Dr. Diaa Al-Awadi, may Allah have mercy on him, connects sugar with bacteria and fungi from the angle that these organisms live in large amounts inside the intestines and colon, and they feed on food materials that reach them. In this context, sugar is not merely a sweet taste. It is a substance that enters the activity of microorganisms that may produce gases and different compounds. Therefore, fermentation is not something that happens only in a bottle or in bread. It also has an extension inside the body, because the body contains a microbiome, fungi, and bacteria that interact with what reaches them from food. From here, the importance of choosing inputs in the Tayyibat System becomes clear: not every substance entering the body is evaluated by its name only, but by its effect inside the digestive environment.
Sugar in the Tayyibat System as a Source of Hydrocarbons
Dr. Diaa Al-Awadi, may Allah have mercy on him, moves from fermentation to the structure of the body. He explains that the human body is largely based on hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen, and that food is the source of hydrocarbons needed by the body. In this sense, food is not viewed only through surface categories such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, but from a deeper angle: the body needs compounds that carry carbon and hydrogen, and glucose is one of the most well-known of these compounds. Therefore, sugar in the Tayyibat System becomes part of understanding the structure of the body itself, not merely a substance counted in calories. The body needs what it can extract hydrogen and energy from, and what enters into building, storage, and use.
Sugar in the Tayyibat System and Energy Inside the Mitochondria
Dr. Diaa Al-Awadi, may Allah have mercy on him, sees that energy production happens in the mitochondria, specifically through a process connected to the burning of hydrogen with oxygen, resulting in water, heat, and energy. Since hydrogen does not practically come from air, the body needs to extract it from food compounds, with glucose being one of the most important. Therefore, sugar here is connected to energy, not only sweetness. Glucose gives the body a substance through which it can access hydrogen that enters energy production pathways. From here, the Tayyibat System explains why sugar is not treated in the common way that always makes it a problem, but places it within the context of energy and vital operation.
Why Is Water Not Enough to Produce Energy?
Dr. Diaa Al-Awadi, may Allah have mercy on him, explains that water itself is not a practical source of the hydrogen required to produce energy, because water already represents oxidized hydrogen. Therefore, the body cannot treat drinking water as an alternative to food that provides hydrogen capable of entering energy processes. This point is important because it distinguishes between water as an essential element of life and sugar or glucose as a food compound that enters pathways of energy production, building, and recycling. In this way, the body’s need for sugar in this view is based on its being a usable source in internal chemistry, not merely a source of pleasure or taste.
The Fate of Sugar in the Body: Storage or Use?
After glucose enters the body, Dr. Diaa Al-Awadi, may Allah have mercy on him, explains that its fate moves in two major directions: either storage or use. Storage may happen in the form of polysaccharides such as glycogen, or in the form of fats after specific manufacturing pathways. As for use, it branches into multiple pathways according to the body’s need and the type of cell. Therefore, sugar does not have one single fate. It may enter energy production, compound formation, material recycling, or pathways connected to the liver and mitochondria. From here, the shortened statement “sugar turns into fat” becomes insufficient, because sugar has many doors inside the body, not just one.
Sugar in the Tayyibat System and the Pyruvic Pathway
Dr. Diaa Al-Awadi, may Allah have mercy on him, explains an important pathway that begins with glucose, where glucose is transformed through steps inside the cell into pyruvic acid. Glucose contains six carbons, while pyruvic acid contains three carbons, so one glucose molecule produces two units of pyruvic acid. After that, the fate is determined according to the presence of mitochondria, oxygen, and the type of cell. If pyruvic acid enters the mitochondria, it can enter deeper pathways. But if mitochondria are absent, as in red blood cells, or if their work is disrupted under certain conditions such as exhausted muscles, pyruvic acid may move toward lactic acid. From here, Dr. Diaa connects sugar with energy, muscles, and the liver in one system.
Red Blood Cells and Muscles: Why Does Lactic Acid Appear?
Dr. Diaa Al-Awadi, may Allah have mercy on him, explains that red blood cells do not contain mitochondria, so they cannot send pyruvic acid into the usual mitochondrial pathway. In exhausted muscles, the same pathway may not work efficiently because of oxygen shortage or the pressure of effort. At that point, part of the pyruvic acid turns into lactic acid. These compounds are then released into the blood and return to the liver, which can deal with them and recycle them back into glucose through specific pathways. Here, the role of the liver appears as a central recycling organ. It does not produce sugar from nothing, but deals with materials coming from the muscles and red blood cells, and it needs active pathways to reintroduce them into the glucose cycle.
Sugar in the Tayyibat System and the Liver’s Role in Glucose Production
In the explanation of Dr. Diaa Al-Awadi, may Allah have mercy on him, the liver can convert pyruvic acid and lactic acid back into glucose, but this requires mitochondrial work, oxygen, and entry of these compounds into a complex internal cycle. Therefore, when it is said that the liver produces sugar, this does not mean that external sugar has no value, because the reproduction of glucose itself needs operation, pathways, and preparation. Dr. Diaa uses the example of a coin inserted into a machine: the cycle does not operate unless there is a “starting currency” from glucose. Therefore, external glucose in the Tayyibat System becomes a factor that helps the cycle continue, not a competitor to it.
Sugar in the Tayyibat System Between Self-Sufficiency and Internal Loss
Dr. Diaa Al-Awadi, may Allah have mercy on him, emphasizes that the body can recycle some compounds and produce glucose from within its own system, but this does not mean absolute self-sufficiency without loss. There is loss in energy, heat, and internal pathways that consume part of the resources. Therefore, the body needs compensation from outside. The internal cycle may work for some time, but it does not cancel the need for suitable food inputs. From here comes the importance of sugar in this view: not because the body is completely unable to produce glucose, but because production and recycling need support from an external input that operates the system and compensates for internal loss.
Sugar in the Tayyibat System, Ribose, and Nucleic Acids
Dr. Diaa Al-Awadi, may Allah have mercy on him, expands the explanation into another pathway for glucose, where it can enter the formation of ribose, a five-carbon sugar important in building nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA, and also connected to the cell’s energy currencies. This opens a completely different door for understanding sugar. It is not only a substance burned for energy; it can also enter the building of essential components of cellular life. Cells that need to form new nuclei, renew, or manufacture need ribose, and ribose comes from pathways connected to glucose. Therefore, sugar becomes part of the structure and deep functions of the cell, not merely quick energy as it is often described.
Sugar in the Tayyibat System and Internal Antioxidants
Dr. Diaa Al-Awadi, may Allah have mercy on him, connects glucose with a pathway that produces a compound he describes as having an important role in supporting internal antioxidants, especially through its relationship with glutathione. In this view, the solution is not to take “antioxidants” from outside, but to operate the pathways that make the body itself capable of producing what it needs. Glucose here enters a chain that helps provide hydrogen-donating compounds, supporting the reactivation of glutathione. Therefore, sugar also becomes connected to protecting cells from oxidation, especially cells such as red blood cells that are constantly exposed to oxygen and need an active internal protection system.
Sugar in the Tayyibat System, Cholesterol, and Hormones
Dr. Diaa Al-Awadi, may Allah have mercy on him, explains that some pathways resulting from glucose also enter the manufacturing of fats, cholesterol, and its derivatives. He connects cholesterol with vitamin D, cortisone, bile salts, and sex hormones. In this sense, glucose is not merely fuel. It enters the manufacturing of important structural and regulatory substances. This view fits the philosophy of the Tayyibat System, which does not look at the word “sugar” as one negative thing, but follows its fate inside the body: will it be stored? Will it be used? Will it enter manufacturing? Will it support a pathway needed by the liver, glands, or cells?
Sugar in the Tayyibat System and Glycoproteins
Dr. Diaa Al-Awadi, may Allah have mercy on him, talks about glucose entering the structure of glycoproteins and mucopolysaccharides, which are substances connected to the gel-like or mucous tissue that helps tissues retain water, volume, and shape. He also connects sugar with collagen efficiency and the idea that glucose may enter into “sticking” or supporting the structure of some proteins. From this angle, sugar inside the body becomes part of tissue building, tightening, and water retention. Therefore, it is not reduced to being a substance that raises a number in a lab test, but enters different levels of structure and function, from the cell to the tissue to the liver and muscles.
Sugar in the Tayyibat System and the Misunderstanding of High Blood Sugar
Dr. Diaa Al-Awadi, may Allah have mercy on him, rejects the superficial handling of the phrase “raises blood sugar” as if it were a complete judgment on a food substance. He explains that what is needed is not fear of the presence of sugar in the blood itself, but an understanding of how the body uses it, and its pathways into energy, storage, manufacturing, and recycling. Therefore, he sees that talking about sugar needs scientific organization, because the body does not deal with glucose as a number only, but as a central substance in biochemistry. From here comes the difference between the Tayyibat System and the common discourse: the important question is not only whether the number rose, but what is the function of sugar? Where does it go? Which pathway did it enter? And is the body able to use it in a beneficial way?
Conclusion
Sugar in the Tayyibat System, as explained by Dr. Diaa Al-Awadi, may Allah have mercy on him, is understood through a wide network: fermentation outside the body, feeding bacteria and fungi, the transformation of sugarcane juice and bread, then the entry of glucose inside the body between storage and use. The body may produce sugar in the liver, but it does not produce it apart from pathways that need mitochondria, oxygen, an active liver, and inputs that operate the cycle. Therefore, the right question is not: why do we eat sugar if the liver produces it? Rather, the question is: how does glucose work inside the body? How does it enter energy, ribose, internal antioxidants, cholesterol, glycoproteins, and the recycling of pyruvic acid and lactic acid? From here, sugar in the Tayyibat System becomes a central substance for understanding energy, building, and balance, not merely a sweet substance or a number in a lab test.

This article is a simplified and organized summary of the video content. It aims to arrange the ideas and concepts mentioned in it and connect them to their context within the Tayyibat System.
Because glucose production inside the liver does not happen from nothing. It needs active pathways and inputs that help operate the cycle. Therefore, sugar is viewed as a factor in energy operation and the recycling of certain compounds, not merely as a sweet substance.
When bacteria and fungi interact with sugar, sugar enters a fermentation process. This can be seen in sugarcane juice as it changes over time into alcohol and then vinegar, or in bread when it grows mold because of microorganism activity.
Sugar enters as glucose. Glucose provides the body with compounds from which hydrogen can be extracted. Hydrogen then combines with oxygen inside the mitochondria to produce energy, heat, and water.
Because water already contains oxidized hydrogen. It does not provide the body with the hydrogen needed to operate energy pathways. Therefore, the body needs food compounds such as glucose to extract usable hydrogen.
The fate of sugar inside the body is either storage or use. It may be stored as glycogen or fat, or it may be used in energy production, ribose formation, liver pathways, or the formation of certain vital compounds.
The liver can reproduce glucose from compounds such as pyruvic acid and lactic acid, but it needs mitochondria, oxygen, active pathways, and operating inputs. Therefore, liver glucose production does not mean the body has no need for sugar from outside.
Glucose can enter a pathway that forms ribose, a five-carbon sugar involved in building DNA and RNA. Ribose is also connected to energy currencies inside the cell, so sugar is not limited to energy production only.
No. Sugar in the Tayyibat System is understood as a vital input that enters energy, storage, glucose production, liver support, ribose formation, glycoproteins, and pathways connected to building and internal balance.
