kirite Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 NY Times Article, "Is Sugar Toxic?" Dr. Robert Lustig's Sugar:The Bitter Truth Interesting article and lecture. It certainly is interesting. Big Sugar is one of the most potent lobbies in the USA, right up there with Big Corn.
lion Posted April 18, 2011 Author Posted April 18, 2011 It has been a long time since graduate level Biochemistry in college, but the science behind the cellular interactions that are processed in the liver of the different kinds of sugar, glucose, fructose, and alcohol were very impressive.
squidsdc Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 Did anyone see Jamie Oliver's stunt with the busload of sugar? My memory is he was trying to illustrate the 57 tons of sugar added to the flavored milk in a week. His new show is based on reforming the school menus in LA. (not having a lot of luck there) On an aside, my sister was just diagnosed with an allergy to fructose. When I looked it up, It turns out this is a fairly common allergy, but very difficult to diagnose.
