“A) Science is never settled.”
This bears repeating in every thread of this sort, whether it’s about climate, health/medicine, physics, or whatever.
I have Gastroparesis..Slow Motility which means my diet is sans all fiber, high fat, legumes, and it’s led to Bowel Transit time issues. Eating BLAND boring is hard, on top of that there is the SOY/Grapefruit issue for Thyroid issues and slight Dairy Interference. Then you have to add in the HIGH sodium, I have an Enlarged Heart with a small valve leak, not considered repairable. Meniere’s which is referred to as Glaucoma of the ears, because the pressures are unequal like in the eye form. Vertigo is a big part of that and to much sodium effects both the BP and the Meniere’s.
I cringe when I watch the amount of sodium cooking shows use. Sea Salt is all the rage, yet if it’s white it’s bleached. Sea Salt is light Pink, light Grey or Grey.
Sodium is a big issue in a big portion of the population.
Baby formula is high is sugar and large fat globules, which are about like the big globules in Holstein milk which is our main source of Milk now. Which is why we are seeing a up tick in Colic which is now being treated as Acid Re-flux or GERD the treatment will cause brittle bones if it goes on to long. PPI’s are dangerous in this respect to any age patient. They are a short term 2 week treatment not a life time.
My science is settled around my waist.
If you overwhelm the body with anything, bad things will happen. That said, the quantities you're talking about would be nearly impossible to accomplish.
A young adult human body can only detoxify about 30 grams of fructose
Detoxify? Just about anything can be toxic, but what you're suggesting makes no sense.
More than that and it slowly poisons your liver.
The moderate consumption of fresh fruit poisons your liver? Who knew.
If you are/were a huge sugar addict
Sugar/sucrose is not addictive.
Clearing toxins from your body is a function of the liver. Labeling sugar - however you define it - as toxic is ridiculous.
Yes. I call it dietary climate change.
I’d wager no real scientist has ever uttered the words “settled science” as a declarative.
If you're going to relate diet to any physiological condition, you need to measure diet over a long period. Instead, Keyes sampled diets in his study countries over a period of a few weeks at most.
Ordinarily this wouldn't matter, if people at the same kind of diet all the time.
Unfortunately, Keyes sampled diets in Greece and a few other Orthodox Christian countries during Lent, when people were abstaining from meat. Had he sampled over a whole year, he might well have gotten entirely different results.
I used to think that way. Sugar and carbs are processed differently by the body.
Agree. Only govt hacks and leftist idiots who aren't capable of intellectually proving their point. Shout down the opposing view if you can't refute it
