This U of California video about fructose is a must see. Fructose is a liver toxin. [View all]	snagglepuss	Nov 2012	OP
what? a naturally-occuring sugar found in fruit & other plant foods eaten for thousands of years	HiPointDem	Nov 2012	#1
Went right over your head.	haikugal	Nov 2012	#2
that's the ticket.	HiPointDem	Nov 2012	#23
Fast forward to 42:00 minutes into the video for an indepth explanation of the bio-chemistry	snagglepuss	Nov 2012	#3
I know how fructose is metabolized, I have an advanced degree in the field, and it ain't a liver	HiPointDem	Nov 2012	#22
Utter piffle. You haven't even watched the video.	snagglepuss	Nov 2012	#51
it's piffle that i have an advanced degree in the field? if you say so madame mindreader.	HiPointDem	Nov 2012	#57
You have an advanced degree yet you quote wiki.	snagglepuss	Nov 2012	#61
you prefer i should quote from the scholarly paper wikipedia cited & quoted for the passage I	HiPointDem	Nov 2012	#62

Food is BAD for you!!!!	longship	Nov 2012	#5
not only fruit -- also many vegetables, honey, and other miscellaneous plant foods. liver toxin my	HiPointDem	Nov 2012	#24
You don't have to be a great biochemist to see through this.	man4allcats	Nov 2012	#6
Imagine for a moment if virtually all processed food and all beverages contained alcohol.	KurtNYC	Nov 2012	#7
Ah, no one considers Wikipedia to be proof of anything	mrsadm	Nov 2012	#14
Exactly my point.	man4allcats	Nov 2012	#34
but some doctor who's pushing a book is proof of something?	HiPointDem	Nov 2012	#43
Makes sense. For tens of thousands of years of human evolution, people in non-tropical climates	Arugula Latte	Nov 2012	#16
Exactly. Before I got diagnosed with high uric acid I consumed a lot of fruit	snagglepuss	Nov 2012	#18
fructose also found in honey and many/most vegetables. for example, carrots and corn also contain	HiPointDem	Nov 2012	#25
Right, but the amount of fructose available to people compared to what we have now	Arugula Latte	Nov 2012	#30
and were corn, sweet potatoes, onions, and peppers also 'rare treats'? i heard that the south	HiPointDem	Nov 2012	#35
Well, I was responding specifically to this post by man4allcats, about moderation:	Arugula Latte	Nov 2012	#37
There are plenty of cultures that consumed an all-plant diet and did just fine, and in fact,	HiPointDem	Nov 2012	#40
Good stuff....	Junkdrawer	Nov 2012	#8
Coke does not have 55 mg of salt; it has 55 mg of sodium. And the HFCS does not cover up the "taste"	Brickbat	Nov 2012	#9
The difference between salt is sodium is neglible so I fail to see your	snagglepuss	Nov 2012	#13
Your utter lack of chemistry makes further discussion unlikely.	Brickbat	Nov 2012	#21
Can't cite any sources eh?	snagglepuss	Nov 2012	#49
You're seriously asking for sources that explain the difference between salt and sodium?	Brickbat	Nov 2012	#54
salt = sodium & chloride in a 50/50 mix. sodium is not salt.	HiPointDem	Nov 2012	#26
Why don't you start with stating your source that supports your assertion about salt?	Major Nikon	Nov 2012	#28
Obviously you didn't watch the video.	snagglepuss	Nov 2012	#50
I did watch the video	Major Nikon	Nov 2012	#52
It's actually 45mg of sodium, but that's still a decent bit for a 12 oz can. n/t	hughee99	Nov 2012	#39
Actually, it's low for a serving size. If it were 35 mg, it would qualify for the "very low sodium	Brickbat	Nov 2012	#44
Quiet, you!	trotsky	Nov 2012	#53
Time for me to start drinking, obviously...	Brickbat	Nov 2012	#55
Very interesting. Valuable, even.	xfundy	Nov 2012	#10
Dr. Lustig will have a book ...	mrsadm	Nov 2012	#11
Thanks for the heads up. He clearly knows his stuff.	snagglepuss	Nov 2012	#20
I knew fruit was poisonous!	cthulu2016	Nov 2012	#12
You obviously didn't watch the video. He explains why whole fruit isn't the issue.	snagglepuss	Nov 2012	#15
I didn't watch the video, but I think I can guess why whole fruit isn't bad for you.	Honeycombe8	Nov 2012	#31
but it contains liver toxin!!!!!	HiPointDem	Nov 2012	#41
Save the snark for the lounge.	snagglepuss	Nov 2012	#46
Table sugar = sucrose = glucose+fructose	GeorgeGist	Nov 2012	#17
And your point is?	snagglepuss	Nov 2012	#19
don't eat vegetables either, or honey or sugar cane or stevia or any other plant food because	HiPointDem	Nov 2012	#27
high fructose corn syrup is bad for you	liberal_at_heart	Nov 2012	#29
So is table sugar	Major Nikon	Nov 2012	#33
yes, table sugar is bad for you	liberal_at_heart	Nov 2012	#36
fructose is always found 'by itself' once it enters the digestive system.	HiPointDem	Nov 2012	#42
That is a myth. All fructose works the same in the body. Whole fruit contains managable	snagglepuss	Nov 2012	#47
you're the one spreading 'myth' here. "30% of fructose is converted to fat" is BS. There's no	HiPointDem	Nov 2012	#58
Interestingly, I happen to have a 12 oz can of Coke right here. It's 45mg of Sodium.	hughee99	Nov 2012	#38
Could it be the genetically modified high fructose sugar that is the problem	RepublicansRZombies	Nov 2012	#45
Here is an informative article about fructose and how the body ie the liver	snagglepuss	Nov 2012	#48
"In nearly every way, fructose is metabolized the same way as ethanol" = BULL	HiPointDem	Nov 2012	#59
This is BS. This prof needs to take a remedial BioChem class.	Odin2005	Nov 2012	#56
What a compelling argument.	snagglepuss	Nov 2012	#60
