I'm watching a documentary about the effects of sugar on the body. I never knew it was this bad. Dear lord. Fructose apparently messes with your brain so that it won't send messages to your body that you're full. So you'll keep eating because your brain thinks you're still hungry. This is terrifying. Why isn't there more public knowledge about this? ****ing sugar companies being just as secretive as the tobacco companies. Gosh.

    Be chill. Wait for a documentary that explains that your brain can only use sugar as fuel and you'll die without your brain.

    Then it'll all balance out. :p

    I certainly hope you're kidding.:huh: If not google Alan Aragon and see his stance on it. You'll feel better and see this for the nonsensical scaremongering that it is. This conversation already happened on tonight this thread here. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1111202-cbc-tv-tonight-toxic-sugar

    I apologize for being dense but - is this an ironic thread, or are you actually serious?

    I honestly can't tell.

    The human body literally makes sugar out of the stuff we eat. Quite a bit of it, in fact. If sugar really was a "poison", we'd all be dead by now.

    You're not dumb, but you can't blindly accept every documentary on CBC as the unvarnished truth. Use some critical thinking and go to other sources before you take anything so seriously.

    But is the opposite of sweet sour? Maybe it should be Sugar, the Sour Truth.
