It's not corn syrup edhopper Jan 2015 #20

What they fear is the educated consumer who actually read labels and research the unrecognized... hlthe2b Jan 2015 #3

"including sugars of all kinds that don't come packaged in a natural fruit form" Thor_MN Jan 2015 #11

natural fructose in fruit includes fiber that acts to modulate its impact on blood sugar rises... hlthe2b Jan 2015 #15

OK, got it. Thor_MN Jan 2015 #28

To say that fresh fruit is healthier than highly processed high sugar cereals is "WOO"? hlthe2b Jan 2015 #34

No one said that but you, along with the other crap that you spouted. Thor_MN Jan 2015 #36

You did say "woo" in response to my comment. hlthe2b Jan 2015 #86

What you have classified as "prickliness" is aversion to crap science. Thor_MN Jan 2015 #88

You are calling AMA, ADA, National Academy of Science, NIH, CDC, & academic community anti-science hlthe2b Jan 2015 #91

You just go on believeing your distillations of the science you don't understand, provided by the Thor_MN Jan 2015 #93

In all reality the odds are that you are far less educted in science and medicine than most hlthe2b Jan 2015 #98

You are correct, hlthe2b. Maedhros Jan 2015 #106

Since niether of us knows what the others eductaion is we don't have any basis. Thor_MN Jan 2015 #122

Call crap science crap is being a jerk? Thor_MN Jan 2015 #124

No you wouldn't sugar coat it. You'd bathe it in HFCS-55. Gormy Cuss Jan 2015 #129

No, I don't bathe in HFCS 55. But I'm not afraid of it. Thor_MN Jan 2015 #146

I didn't say that YOU would bathe in HFCS. Gormy Cuss Jan 2015 #153

I was willing to let it go with calling it woo, but s/he kept it up. Thor_MN Jan 2015 #159

OK - you like to insult people to feel better about yourself. Maedhros Jan 2015 #140

Thank you. Thor_MN Jan 2015 #144

I've learned that when people stray into religious fervor to walk away. Thor_MN Jan 2015 #180

In other words... livingonearth Jan 2015 #181

In other words, it doesn't matter if it is hydrolysed by sucrase, gastric acid, citric acid. Thor_MN Jan 2015 #182

It's the rate of absorption that is important to health. livingonearth Jan 2015 #183

No. The fruit includes fiber. The fructose is just fructose. jeff47 Jan 2015 #115

Umm, NO You misnderstand, apparently.. I use/ingest no other sweeteners except whole fruit hlthe2b Jan 2015 #118

You claimed the fructose contains fiber. It's the subject of your post. jeff47 Jan 2015 #119

fruit contains fiber. I eat fruit which is sweet because of natural fructose but aslo contains FIBER hlthe2b Jan 2015 #121

The subject of the sentence is "fructose". You intended it to be "fruit". jeff47 Jan 2015 #130
