Sugar types: It really does matter WHAT we eat

tigersword

I'm sure there are other who understand this more than myself, but the European Union has just come out with a proposal that fructose is the superior sweetener in products marketed to children d/t the fact fructose does not have the instantaneous effect on raising blood sugar as glucose or sucrose.

Anyways, I dont fall into the whole bad food good food bandwagon for some reason a few biochemistry, physiology, and anatomy classes do that to a person. Our monkey ancestors were eating just as many fruits, nuts, insects, and the occasional infant as anyone else.

The worst part here isn't that they listen to quack science. It's that they listen to it and misunderstands it to mean something even more extreme then it was to begin with. Dr. Lustig says fruit is fine because it is a combination of fructose and fiber. It's juice and processed food that according to him is the problem.

Ironic. Talking about someone listening to quack science, then quoting Lustig, who pretty much defines "quack science."
