Fructose can add body fat

Guess what, everybody.... too much soda and other syrupy beverages can
make you fat! Who knew??

I watched "SuperSize Me" just the other day. In one scene the supersize
guy is talking to a very obese fellow who is in the hospital getting
prepped for stomach stapling surgery. The supersize guy is holding and
sipping from a one-gallon jug of McDonalds soda and the obese patient
points to the drink and tells him how he would drink around 52 of them
every week. In the next scene the supersize guys doctor has just looked
at his latest test results and sees a massive negative change in his
kidney and liver function and in his blood lipid profile. The doctor
expresses absolute shock that this would happen so fast and to such an
extreme extent on a "high fat" diet.

Do you see the disconnect here? While doctors and most people instantly
assume that these health problems are related to evil fats, the real
culprit is in the refined carbs, notably *high fructose* corn syrup.

Supersizing meals adds huge amounts of carbs to the diet, and most are
specifically *high fructose* corn syrup.

I don't know anyone who isn't aware of the fact that soda is fattening.

But when you go to your doctor with a big belly and the first signs of
diabetes, he or she will tell you to eat less fat and exercise more.

Does it mean diabetics with normal weight and no belly can
consume a little more fat alongwith excercise .

Yes. We need fat in the diet.

Health Watch
Fructose can add body fat

New evidence shows that drinking large amounts of beverages containing
fructose adds body fat, and might explain why sweetening with fructose
could be even worse than using other sweeteners, according to a
University of Cincinnati study.

Researchers allowed mice to freely consume either water,
fructose-sweetened water or soft drinks. They found increased body fat
in the mice that drank the fructose-sweetened water and soft drinks --
even though these animals decreased the amount of calories they
consumed from solid food.

The research appears in the July 2005 issue of Obesity Research.

*****

More evidence to support the low-carb paradigm.

TC

its more evidence to support that simple sugars are bad, not carbs in
general-
starch doesn't contain fructose.

Or, rather, that isolated simple sugars that don't come together with lots
of *fiber* and other nutrients, as in natural foods like fruits,... may be
bad?

Yet the food industry adds HFCS - High Fructose Corn Syrup * in lots of
foods, don't they?, and they can even claim fructose is low-GI and HFCS
possibly moderate-GI ( http://www.hfcsfacts.com/glycemicIndex.html ) !

* HFCS = 42 percent or 55 percent fructose - with the balance made up of
glucose and higher sugars, according to
http://www.hfcsfacts.com/diffHfcsSugar.html )

HINT: we are frugivorous apes, not rodents. Fruivorous diets supply
plenty of fructose, it is not fattening for apes.
