Glucose-Fructose increases appetitie -- Leads to overeating
When you eat 120 calories of glucose, less than one calorie is stored as fat. 120 calories of fructose results in 40 calories being stored as fat.I found the last link first. The blockquote appears to come from Dr. Robert Lustig. When I Googled it I got 26,900 results.
This can’t be true, after all the corn mega-biz insists “sugar is sugar”.
I think we have a long way to go in learning what causes weight gain.
translation: Eat sugar, get fat
So now food "BE RAYCISS"
OH? REALLY? I AM SHOCKED!.....
One thing to be aware of, before using this study to justify anti-corn syrup hysteria, is that fructose is not the same as “high fructose corn syrup”, and glucose is not the same as sucrose. HFCS has pretty much the same amounts of fructose and glucose that sucrose does. So if you think that drinks made with sucrose rather than HFCS will not display the same effect described in this article, you would be mistaken.
I think this is ripe for a “duh alert”
I agree.
I have been “eating clean” for a few years now. The amount of crap a/k/a, chemicals, sodium & fructose that they put in prepared foods would make your head spin.
Mine is usually because I’ve been a pee-eye-gee hog. I wish I could blame my fluctuations on something else.
I suspect that eating fattening foods makes you fat.
Yet, instead of using real sugar, food is still packed with high fructose corn syrup. and she probably got big tax dollar funding to tell us all of this. why, this is PhD thesis stuff. Forgive my cynicism, its running on overtime these past 5 years...
And, SCCTSI, look professional. Use a damn spell checker. They are included free with most word processing programs.
And why is it popular?
Because for decades Americans have paid generally more than twice the world price for sugar, due to tariffs intended to protect American sugar cane and sugar beet farmers from competition. HFCS therefore becomes much more attractive price-wise than it would be without the tariffs.
So for a single policy we get to: A. pay twice the price for sugar; B. destroy the Everglades; and; C. become obsese.
Hooray for protective tariffs!
The high fructose corn syrup chupacabra is the bastard son of man made global warming.
What I’ve cut completely out of my diet in the past 10 years:
1. Beer
2. Wheat snacks of any kind
3. Pancakes and waffles
4. Ice cream, milk
5. Breakfast baked items (rolls, pound cake)
6. Soda (sweet and artificially sweet)
85% of these are out of my diet:
1. Cheese
2. Pizza, pasta
3. Bread and bagels
4. Cookies, cake
Even so, I’m barely at normal weight. Each year something new has to be banned.
Eating celery has never made anyone fat.
Well, duh.
Any food that increases your blood-sugar level like fructose does (wheat actually increases it more) will pile on the pounds. If you want to lose weight, don't eat it.
