Fructose intake can lead to obesity, just like in hibernating animals, CU Researchers say
So sugars make you fat, gotcha.
Oh i thought fructose was calorie free… /s
You joke but we have been sold a pack of lies for years that carbs/sugar is good for us and fat, salt, etc us bad and causes high blood pressure, heart disease, etc. Some of us have known the truth for decades. I still get push back when I bring this up online. Too many people still believe fat kills you and that we need carbs in high doses to live.
This is an oversimplification and downplays just how bad carbs actually are.
It’s extremely easy to overeat/consume carbs, sugar, etc because of how your body reacts to it. On the other hand its extremely hard to overeat protein because you will be full and uncomfortable.
Do yourself a favor and stop using this nonsense argument. It makes you look like a fool and downplays just how bad sugar is for the human body.
Not surprising, and HFCS has been put into a ton of food to sweeten it.
But as long as it’s the cheaper option I don’t see companies changing it for anything else.
Then just eat fruit instead of refined fructose.
The study doesn’t make any discussion about “refined fructose” AFAICT. So I don’t see how that would make a difference. They even reference the fact that it happens to hibernating animals, which are obviously eating fruits and natural fructose and not refined fructose.
They don’t seem to have studied the differences at all so I’m not sure you can draw any conclusion like you did.
I think it would be a far more interesting study to see the effects of fructose which is still encased in its dietary fiber vs processed fructose.
There are definitely a lot of indications out there that there’s a big difference but I haven’t seen a good study yet directly comparing the two.
Hey if it’s fruit or a pack of gummy worms, I’m probably better off eating fruit right?
