Oh noes! Fructose!

SideSteel

This post was basically influenced by a great article that Acg shared today.

Many of you may have heard of the name Lustig. He's basically known for causing somewhat of an uproar regarding fructose.

You can see his presentation here:

Then you can watch Alan Aragon basically blast holes into Lustig's argument like swiss cheese, here:

Lustig was also on 60-minutes:

And you can listen to Alan Aragon and Ian McCarthy analyze (and basically take a dump all over) the 60-minutes presentation here:

(Note: The above video has foul language and some other mildly offensive stuff as they aren't censoring themselves)

Finally, Acg67 shared these with me, both of which I enjoyed reading, but mostly because it contained people pointing out why Lustig is fail:

Thanks for sharing. Saw this video quite a while back and had some of the same thoughts as in Alan's response.
