    But the question is, if you're not diabetic, does your body process real sugar better than the alternatives?? What do those artificial sweeteners do to your body??

    The above link was from the Dr. Oz show yesterday. I still stay away from the three sweeteners mentioned in this article because I don't like the taste and because I don't like the idea that they were made in a lab. I usually use xylitol, when I do use sugar, which isn't often.

    You need to see where the foods fall on the glycemic index. If they are low, it won't cause the spike in insulin and are processed slower by your body. This equals being full for longer and a reduction in sugar cravings and will keep your insulin levels steady.

    Yes, because Dr. Oz is suuuuuch a great resource for scientifically relevant information. =|

    EDIT: I'm being sarcastic if you didn't get that.

    The list is dubious at best, as it states itself is a collection of possible ways sugar can affect people, gathered for medical journals and reports, but doesn't reference any of those.

    This however is worth a read: http://www.princeton.edu/main/news/archive/S26/91/22K07/index.xml

    The above research by Princeton University focuses on High Fructose Corn Syrup.

    "The rats in the Princeton study became obese by drinking high-fructose corn syrup, but not by drinking sucrose. The critical differences in appetite, metabolism and gene expression that underlie this phenomenon are yet to be discovered, but may relate to the fact that excess fructose is being metabolized to produce fat, while glucose is largely being processed for energy or stored as a carbohydrate, called glycogen, in the liver and muscles."

    Remember the "sugar is sugar" ads running on tv a while ago, I suspect to corn lobby has given up on that gigantic lie.

    #125 Sugar helps the medicine go down in the most delightful way. That's subversive ...medicine is supposed to be horrendous. How else do we know it is working?

    If it isn't a struggle, you're doing it wrong.

    Reasonable. However, nothing in the OP provides anything of substance as to which of those points actually matter; the same with the Dr. OZ article. And for the most part, Dr. OZ seems to be a shill for commercial interests, but that is just my opinion. :)

    I'm not attacking you BTW... But I think we want something to blame SO HARD for our mess, and articles like these just play into that vulnerable desperation inside of us. Too much of anything is bad for you. A N Y T H I N G.
