    I'm only still here in the hopes that the Anthropology fanfic gets lemony and/or to check out Jo showing off her "squishy" by squishing a few Doctors of Broscience between her pinky fingers.

    Also, did you know that many Classics scholars point to the knowledge of processing grain for digestibility to be the benchmark of the dawn of civilization? To be fair, there is a contingent that claims true civilization came not with grinding the grain, but with fermenting it to make early beer. So, you know. Bread or Beer? One is the cornerstone of civilization. You pick.

    You would think fruit would be good for you but it's not, here's why:
    - glycogen reserves for fructose are tiny (liver) compared to other sugars (muscle glycogen).
    - because of this post exercise you have a greater chance of spillover to fat
    - Fruit often contains the enzymes to break itself down so it's faster digesting than many simple sugars
    - fruit often has very little fiber and is far more acidic than vegetables.
    - in human development fruit was very rare,truly a treat. Remember til a few hundred years ago when sugar because accessible to the masses fruit and honey were the junk food of the times. In fact it's only since the 1920s grains entered our diet and only since 1950s sugar was wide spread.


    Omg No No and No!! That has to be one of the worst bit of misinformation I have read here!! :angry:

    So you make assertions not supported by science (the entire "thanks GMO crops and HFCS!" drivel) ... claim that 99.9% of the population is insulin resistant .... then continue further off the rails with non sequiturs ... there is no reason for anyone to apologize to you based on your inane posts.

    I could link you to the number studies showing escalting cancer above livestock fed GMO, or the rise obesity related to the introduction of HCFS, or a dozen other topics that you would ignore because you know better than clinic science. Because cavemen ate poptarts, snackwells, and corn flakes right? Not a diet high in fresh fatty meats...

    What game animals outside very cold weather environments have a lot of fat? Unless you're saying our ancestors were such great hunters they threw away all the muscle meat just to eat the fat. not very likely in a scarce food environment.

    All you have is hyperbole and misunderstandings of simple concepts. Perhaps you should read more than the headlines of studies.

    Mark Hyman can't even get autism science right. Why should I trust him about corn syrup?

    http://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2009/09/08/dr-mark-hyman-mangles-autism-science-on/

    Also he believes in detoxing (not the medical kind, the alt-med variety) so he's not exactly a reputable source.

    Since I don't like the texture of pears I would probably chose the Kit Kat although there are other fruits I would pick first. I agree with one of the earlier posters, sugar in and of itself is not "bad" I'll take sugar, honey, etc over artificial sweeteners any day. But, that said, like anything else it needs to be eaten in moderation.

    Ummm . . . how about pear, flambe'd, and then melt the kit kat chocoalte covering on top through the flambe, and finally using the wafers to scoop up the now warm, chocolatey-draped pear? I would be on board with that approach.

    As far as Jo and her awesomeness - impressive indeed, but I think she may have dissed Almond Joys in this very thread and that sort of thing Can. Not. Stand.

    So it's not pears that ward off cancer but rather anything with dietary fiber? So oatmeal would work just as fine (Which is great, cause I do love me some red velvet proats with a cream cheese swirl in the AM)

    Which is not at all what you said before, but okie dokie.

    Pears also contain anti-oxidants that ward off cancer...that you won't find in oatmeal. If you need confirmation ask your doctor or a nutritionist about anti-oxidants and they can explain it to you...

    Lol true just try to get some dark chocolate kit kats; milk chocolate is useless for antioxidants! Totally not going against the kit kat I'm just saying that theres more than one cancer fighting property in pears than just fiber :) IMO eat them both
