Wouldn't 40 pounds of greens (such as romaine lettuce) contain roughly 200 grams of sugar?

How much fiber and protein are in that? How does that affect blood sugar/hormone levels as opposed to straight sugar?

Isn't blood sugar just energy for the body that gets stored as glycogen in the liver if unused?

Doesn't excess sugar get stored as fat throughout the body once the liver stores are full?

Doesn't 200g - 400g of sugar pretty much entirely fulfill the body's metabolic needs for a day?
