Sugar: The Bitter Truth

bashful228 Says:

Feb 4, 2012 - @seaXcrow The correctly titled "The China Study" is the largest most far reaching epidemiological study ever conducted in history. Cashing in on a fad? They started this work in the 50's. Best keep you're ignorance to yourself it makes you look like a fool!

bashful228 Says:

Feb 4, 2012 - @seaXcrow Just to give you an example they personally interviewed hundreds of thousands of participants and tested their blood for >1000 individual compounds. The Study won international awards for how well conducted and comprehensive it was. But hey you don't have to like it if you don't care for good science.

Feb 4, 2012 - i used to work as a co-packer? that means i worked for a large juice company that packed evey juice. evey brand, even sports drinks and teas. its didnt matter who owend the juice it was packed in this factory. the WIC juice was the best in quality. I promise you that. only the finest juice concentrate was used, the very best of the best.

Feb 5, 2012 - people talk here like they are some experts, the fact is dietary science is very confusing, due to all the mistakes done in the past, i believe recent studies can show that as long as we can control addictives sustances and dangerous ones like fructuouse, then we can live well. is all balance i believe, its pretty obvious you have to control what you eat and dont be sedentary.

Feb 5, 2012 - @seaXcrow That actually makes a lot of sence; I would not be surprised one bit if that turns out to be true!

Feb 5, 2012 - Thanks for uploading this - will need to view it again to work on the biochem mechanisms.The relationship of this mechanism to high blood pressure was also something I've never heard before. I saw the response of the corn fructose industry to his team's sugar study, so there is a real battle ahead to get changes in the food - but it is well worth it.

Feb 6, 2012 - As an educated Witor from Norvwegian school system, this video, should be a "must see and learn" for educational chefs and witors. Many things in this video, is crossing over to our world (hotel & restaurant), as it does in the ordinary medicine world.Thanks for this educational video of sugar. Best regards a citizen of Norway.

Feb 6, 2012 - @dialectical44 No, I have no such stock. As for explaining, if you are neither going to type in a clear, and non insulting way, there is no need to bandy words with a troll such as yourself. I know you meant "Why this is", but come on. As for the insult, look in the mirror bub. Prayers go out to you!

theFamousSkiddz Says:

Feb 6, 2012 - @gorbonic That's sweet. Got nothing to refute, so straight to the insult.  Sweeter then the best sugar substance when people can't come up with spin against well reasoned thinking.

Feb 6, 2012 - @seaXcrow true that

Floccini Says:

Feb 7, 2012 - Some fruits have larger proportions of fructose to glucose compared to others. For example, apples and pears contain more than twice as much free fructose as glucose, while for apricots the proportion is less than half as much fructose as glucose.

Feb 7, 2012 - Forget horror movies, this shit is scary.

historian186 Says:

Feb 8, 2012 - @Floccini True, but we are designed to ingest fructose in fruit, not as extracted fruit juice with additives thrown in..... Apes,monkeys and other fruit eating animals in the wild do not run into the problems extracted fruit juice drinking humans do. I wonder why? It just might have to do with the form of ingestion - natural ingestion of fruit with the fibre, vitamins, enzymes etc all available.

Feb 9, 2012 - I find it slightly humorous that they had to bleep out Lustig saying "crap"

DSDMovies Says:

Feb 9, 2012 - I learned something: Stop eating sugar. But for the first time, I could see why. I'm already ok with no having fructose, but my sugar intake was too high recently.

shipleyshipster Says:

Feb 10, 2012 - Anyone who vilifies fruit is ridiculous and also didn't pay attention to the video. There has never been any secret about what kinds of foods we should be eating to stay healthy. It isn't "breast" milk from another animal (dairy), it isn't red meats, it isn't any sort of processed or boxed food. It's produce. 90% produce, fruits and vegetables nuts and seeds. Then occasional fish. That's it. Or even rice. Plain potatoes without condiments. It's not complicated. Don't eat foods from a laboratory.

Aikachi Says:

Feb 10, 2012 - Fascinating stuff. The way I've explained this topic to others is with an example; you drink a soda and eat a brownie, you drink another soda to wash it down. Once they get a handle on the idea that sucrose and fructose are different, I have to explain that fructose sugars in fruit aren't BAD. If your body responded to eating fruit the same way as it did sucrose, you would die of starvation feeling full off of one quarter of an apple. Maybe an exaggeration, but it gets the point across.

andrychowiczmeli Says:

Feb 11, 2012 - Dr. Lustig is lumping everyone in the same category and that is not right. We are not all consuming high amounts of HFCS...I, for one, try not to eat processed food. If fructose is a poison then tell me why our bodies break down glucose into glucose 6 phosphate and further break it down into fructose which gets broke down further and further? I happen to be insulin resistant and it's not because I have consumed a bunch of fructose or HFCS but because I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome!

andrychowiczmeli Says:

Feb 11, 2012 - He needs to stop blaming sugar for diabetes when there is strong evidence that diabetes has a genetic mutation link. These studies that he is showing, did the people that were performing the studies use a control and experimental group? If they didn't use a control group then the studies are flawed and one-sided. Bottom line is to stop eating processed food and eat more home cooked meals and getting adequate exercise.
