But so can "sugar is addictive." So....YOU stop being a j*******!
My point is simply that refined sugar can be addictive. Some people resist the urge to pound their body with it and others do not. Those that do not are typically over weight and/or unhealthy.
Would you disagree ?
Yes, I would, in fact, disagree.
I am not "resisting the urge to pound my body" with that Hershey's bar which has been sitting out at work for the past 2 days, free for the taking. I don't care for Hershey bars. If it were Vosges, or even Lindor, I might be tempted.
...but you do resist the urge to pound 3 hershey bars every day of the week right ?
You misunderstand. There is no "urge" to resist. As I stated, I don't care for Hershey's. I find it repulsive.
Nope. Hershey's is inferior chocolate. I don't care how much sugar they put in it. Try some real chocolate.
Sorry but Reese's Cups are the tastiest candy in the world and I've had some expensive "classy" posh chocolates before. Nothing is better than a Reese's.
Another opinion. Quite far from anything resembling a fact.
Nope, it is scientifically proven that Reese's Cups are the greatest of all time.

That could depend what is in the ice-cream perhaps.

I doubt it
ETA: under the assumption that it tastes good that is - you gotta have tasty ice cream, usually with lots of mix ins.

Stay positive and follow your own intuition and data about what makes you feel good. I started out on here 3 years ago eating a standard american diet. Now I'm a vegan and eat no processed foods or refined sugars and I feel so much better and my overall fitness has improved as well.
i would be curious what "data" you have that our society is somehow built around a sugar addiction, and what data you have about mentioned "sugar addiction"….
You don't think our society has a sugar addiction ?
no I don't…
society has an overeating/laziness problem…sugar has nothing to do with it.
I would argue that many people over eat in part because of the addiction to sugar.
When people sit and pound 8-12 sodas in a day they are doing it because they are craving that soda....they are craving that sugar.
I would say that at the end of the day it is still the person's fault because they are not strong enough to resist the addiction, but there is no doubt that it is in fact an addiction to sugar.
An addict will do anything in order to feed their addiction. If what you say is true, then sugar addicts would be stealing sweets from the store, stealing money to buy sweets, and digging sweets out of the trash. And it wouldn't be just certain sweets...it would be any sweets. People who claim to be addicted to sugar will put away an entire chocolate cake "because of their addiction" but turn down a carrot cake because it's not their favorite. They will eat a whole box of doughnuts, but have no problem saying no to a soda that, for example, is the store brand instead of a name brand.
It is not an addiction if it is selective.
With your logic then I was a sugar addict until two months ago because I would have eaten a whole carrot cake as fast as a chocolate cake.

Wait...what happened to the insulin response and how sugar is responsible for the obesity 'epidemic' in Thailand and Brazil?0

I agree with your point about blaming others...but your argument is like saying there is nothing wrong with heroin, and in fact it should be legal so people, who can moderate their heroin usage, can do so at their leisure.
Are you REALLY comparing heroin to sugar, and are you suggesting that sugar should be illegal because people can't control themselves around it? The absurdity!
Are you trying to argue that there's nothing wrong with sugar ?
yes, I believe we are.
over consumption of calories leads to obesity….
you can get 100% of your diet from sugar, be in a deficit, and lose weight. Just google the twinkie diet….
there are no essential nutrients in sugar.
that has nothing to do with whether it is addictive or not ..
actually, the guy that did the twinkie diet lost weight and had better health markers….go figure…but you know, sugar...
This doc I watched tonight calls sugar toxic.

Lol. None? It serves no benefit?
What benefit to your body does refined sugar have ?
Destroys your liver and teeth.
A quick source of energy?
Getting fat adapted freed me from needing a quick source of energy so no more lack of sugar crashes to deal with.

We're talking sugar here... not specific foods that have other ingredients in them.
Refined sugar will spike your blood sugar and insulin level...has no fiber which will not make you full..like eating fruits will do.
So?
What happens when people eat and don't get full ?
Thanks for asking an easy one.
They eat MORE!

While I'm not one to dissuade links, it's also important to use credible sources.
I haven't seen an obese Thai yet.
We are talking refined sugar here.
Unfortunately we aren't even in the top 10 in countries that consume the most sugar.eatmindfully wrote: »I really don't like all the snark that's why I stay away from the forums.

So logically the top 10 countries that are "addicted" to sugar by consumption should also have higher obesity and health issues worse than the US. And guess what? They don't.

I'm talking refined sugars.
Post me the article that shows 10 countries that consume more refined sugars than the US.
Not saying that it's impossible but I would think it's unlikely.

Wait...what happened to the insulin response and how sugar is responsible for the obesity 'epidemic' in Thailand and Brazil?
http://www.cnn.com/2014/07/09/health/beating-the-bulge-brazil-obesity/
What's it say in the black text box on the cover picture ?
I'll tell you..."access to processed foods".
I'm done debating this by the way. You believe what you want and I will do the same.
First of all, that link contradicts your other 'source'
"In 2012, around one in seven Brazilians were classed as obese. Globally, Brazil is far behind countries such as the United States and Mexico, where around a third of people are obese, but the concern is the rapid rate of weight gain. The country once vulnerable to malnutrition and the associated health impacts, such as impaired growth, is instead now vulnerable to obesity and resulting heart disease and diabetes. In 1975 just 19% of Brazilian men and 29% of Brazilian women were overweight: In 2014 those figures are now 54% and 48% respectively.""
Secondly, nice cherry picking
Thirdly, its a news article and does not show the food consumption statistics.
Fourthly, you actually probably did not cherry pick - you likely did not read the whole article - otherwise you would have used a different quote as access to processed foods =/= sugar consumption.

You do not quite get the concept of quick sources of energy for endurance sports or lifting.
