John Nash A Beautiful Mind
In college I was appalled when my professor (an assistant to Linus Pauling a.K.a Mr. Vitamin C) said;,
" . .but this is how we always do it."
The horn rimmed uber-idiot was referring to putting the food sample in a ceramic crucible and flaming it in an oven to measure calorie content.
That's not how the body does it, I know , shock , shock, yes it's true, "fire in the belly " is just an expression. Different foods create different effects ( fat pathways?).
HFCS for instance fools the liver by stimulating Grelin ("grrrr I'm hungry hormone) and reducing the effect of Leptin ( "aahhhhh, I'm full).
A double nightmare, it does more( all bad, bad enough to make the HFCS folks petition the government to change the name), but I gotta take this call, later.....
Sugar is nearly as bad. So I dispense with the hand wringing over one, and say we should eat far less of both. But of course, the HFCS crazies would prefer their demons.
