its the reason why i started using coke
I don't know if I buy the more-addictive part. But sugar is so hard to avoid (point 3) that it hardly matters. Imaging trying to treat cokeheads at a clinic where the lunch room served bumps with breakfast.
I don't know but my cocaine intake is much higher than sugar

Are they counting fructose as "sugar?" I know that sounds silly, but some people only count sucrose as "sugar."
>>29103114
>implying most fruits are even healthy
>>29103017
The reason sugar is so bad is that it is absorbed and stored as energy (read as fat) almost instantly. When you eat sugar, the pancreas produces insulin to aid the process.
When you have a diet soda, your brain still thinks you are eating sugar despite the lack of calories, and so the pancreas releases insulin. With the extra insulin in your system, the above process will begin.
You will also still crave sugar, as your body has not received any and has released insulin in anticipation.
Naturally occurring sugars in fruit are generally accompanied with fiber which mitigates the effect.
>>29103114
Fruit got dat fiber which means less sugar is absorbed
If you have the choice of a 100 calories soda or 100 calories of almonds, the nuts will count for fewer calories because the sugar in the soda will be absorbed instantly while the fiber in the nuts causes a portion of the calories to pass through you before complete digestion.
There is more to counting calories than just counting - you need to look at what is really going into you.
>>29103174
There is no evidence whatsoever that diet soda produces insulin.
>>29103054
It is a stimulant and thermogenic. Unfortunately it has a slightly sour taste, before it makes your mouth numb.
Presto, let's use cocaine rather than sugar for our coffee and for the diet of our kids!

I saw this film when it came out - they cited the tomato paste as a good source of fiber.
They also said the market for cheese was tiny before 1980 or so. Suddenly all these reduced fat products were being produced and they needed to make something with all the excess: cheese.
Similarly with corn - the industry produced a huge excess and needed to monetize this: high fructose corn syrup.
One the one hand every kind of food has been villified as the source of the fatness, on the other hand artificial sweeteners are used to fatten pigs.
I personally think that sweet-tasting food messes with the appetite regulation system the body has and they might have gotten the real culprit this time.
On the one hand, as a recovering fatty, I'm not going to blame anyone but myself, and I take full responsibility for my recovery.
On the other hand, it can't possibly be that in 1950 everyone had willpower and common sense and by 2000half the population became weak willed and gullible. Something happened that make our natural tendencies work against us with disastrous results.
>>29103397
No. The point is they tried to push a narrative to prove their point by using cocaine.
Cocaine is something the general public doesnt know much about due to low usage rates and is equivalent to a boogeyman.

But you'd agree that it shows that sugar is addictive? Because that's the stuff getting pumped into processed foods.

Good question. Best would be entry level medical textbooks, as journal articles are often too hard for "normal" people (ie people without a (bio)medical background).
Unfortunately, those books cost a shitton of money. Maybe Wikipedia or info from the NIH. Those articles are readable AND correct.
If sugar is addictive like drugs, that explains keto.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2235907/
Eating sugar is pleasurable and releases dopamine. Linking dopamine to a specific behaviour is the basis for addiction.
Go back 10,000 years and sugar was extremely rare in diets. As it's almost instantly stored as fat (useful in evolutionary terms), it makes perfect sense for humans and other animals to crave it.
It's well known that eating releases dopamine - sugar just represents this going one stage further.

Several problems with your brain
1. Drug users in general dont admit the full truth of their drug use due to the illegality of it. Especially to random people.
2. There is no reliable way to find cocaine users
3. There is no reliable way to see if they are lying about their drug usage or amounts used
etc
So any study on drug users is fundamentally flawed.
So the way people find these people is to go to prison and find users who got arrested for drug chargers. But these people are degenerates anyways so they are no representative of the average user.
Cocaine users include people who have high stress jobs that require loss of sleep (lawyers come to mind) and casual users (young 20, 30 somethings). The qualities and the effects of drug basically make you into the world's biggest alpha male with no fear and hyped the fuck up.
Addiction just comes from wanting to be the alpha male again. I dont think mice understand this on the same level.

Refined sugar obviously isn't good for you, but you shouldn't need a sensationalist documentary to tell you that. People crave sugar because your body runs on glucose, not because it's some toxic drug. Best to get your glucose from healthy foods.
Also, the premise of that film is bullshit. The government at no point told people to eat all the sugar they want. They said to eat less sugar and less fat and what Americans did instead was put more sugar on their butter. Unlike the film insists, it's not the fault of the government or corporations that everybody's fat now, it's people eating shitty food of their own accord, getting fat, and looking for a scapegoat

You seem to think I'm saying nobody should eat any sugar, so we haven't been arguing about the same thing the whole time.
Like you say, I can't cut carbs out my diet because I will get withdrawal symptoms.
The point is that young children who are now eating high levels of sugar cannot reduce the amount they consume without getting the same withdrawal symptoms.
I'm not saying they should remove sugar completely, but if they want to bring it down to a healthy level they will still crave for the old, sugar heavy diet. And as sugar and it's substitutes are pumped into nearly all processed foods, it is difficult to move away from these products.

america's kids are so fat that even if they removed 100% of sugar from their diet they would still be fat, just from burgers and fries and chips instead
why specifically sugar?
why aren't you saying they should be eating less carbs in general? after all cutting down carbs produces withdrawal symptoms so that's 'proof' they are bad, right?
your diet could literally be 100% sugar and you can still lose fat, deal with it.

OK guys here is the deal about this movie. What is important here is viewing things in terms of scale and policy. When you look at it on a small scale. The stuff about the calories in and calories out being BS is crap. The stuff about personal responsibility is also crap. But when you evaluate this on a large scale as a health policy its not crap. Look it simply is not realistic to have everyone out there counting their macros. If your goal is really to decrease obesity of the population on a large scale, then the problems described in this film are very real. However if you came to me and were like I'm tryna get shredded brah what should I do, I would tell you simply that it is calories in and calories out. Take this from someone who used to be a fatty and lost 60 pounds counting my cals.
>>29104367
and we should outlaw sex because some people become addicted?
your logic is full retard mode since birth
too much of anything is bad, stop fixating on sugar you weirdo
like i said earlier, if we woke up tomorrow and sugar no longer existed americans would still be fat 5 years down the line
because high calorie foods still exist
because people would rather drive than walk
because people dont like exercise
so sugar is outlawed and people are still fat, what next? do we outlaw cars? or outlaw fatty foods?
>>29104419

>>29104382
I'm explaining my point badly but basically what I'm saying is you have to evaluate these things in terms of scale and efficacy. Basically if you are a bodybuilder on a cut and you eat a lot of sugar or refined carbs, will it really matter? No, it might make a couple percentage points of difference but no. The reason being is that it really does come down to calories in and calories out. However when you look at this type of problem on a large scale and ask "hmmm why is such a large percentage of the population overweight and show signs of metabolic disease". If you answer that question by saying well its all the sugar we eat and then describe the metabolic effects of sugar, how it makes you more hungry and insulin etc, thats totally valid. For people who aren't monitoring calories and are simply "eating intuitively" added sugar would cause people to consume a lot more calories.
>>29104441
but there are people who enjoy high sugar foods and use them responsibly

>>29103746
>Go back 10,000 years and sugar was extremely rare in diets. As it's almost instantly stored as fat
>As it's almost instantly stored as fat
>almost instantly stored as fat
But that's complete bullshit, carbohydrates are the nutrient that are actually least likely to get stored as fat and are used more immediately for energy.
Fats are actually mostly stored as fat, very little of dietary fat is used for energy after it's digested. It's almost always stored, but realize that due to energy balance, this does not mean fat will make you fat.
>>29104483

Sure there are but the fact remains when you look at obesity on a global scale it really is a staggering problem. I mean in a generation the rate of chronic illness is going to be unprecedented, I mean this is something that could bankrupt countries. If you allowed everyone to drive tanks around I'm sure there would be some people who would use their tank responsibly, but we don't allow that. We share the cost of obesity and something must be done.
>>29104537
That's a ridiculous idealistic argument, look at it in terms of utility. Look at what regulation has done to control the rates of cigarette smoking. Look at any public health campaign that has any efficacy. I agree with the ideals behind your post, where its coming from, but you have to be realistic.
>>29104537
But its coming to the point where it's a real problem for society as a whole
In the last 30 years obesity has become a huge problem and now lots of children are obese. In 20/30 years time, the healthcare costs around the issue are going to become sky high and it will have a very real effect on your quality of life. Do you really want to see billions of tax dollars being spent on these people? Because that's what is going to happen
As the epidemic is so recent, nobody is really sure what the long term effects will be, but there is not much chance of them being good.
>>29104537
Have you ever had to drop large amounts of weight, I have, and I did. But the amount of dedication it took was huge, the amount of effort and how careful I had to be with my calorie counting(and still am) was huge. To expect vast percentages of the population to do that is not realistic, it wont happen. Don't die on the sword of your ideals, if you really want to solve the problem on a large scale you need to be realistic.

As an exfat, the biggest problem I had facing weightloss was that you are bombarded with different techniques and way too much information (of which many just isn't true or is psuedoscience) that you simply couldn't tell the rights from the wrongs as someone without the knowledge
Every truth about weightloss, even if it's something studies have indicated a long time ago, is a welcome one. Hardly anyone reads those studies, this makes it more accessible to most people
as an exfat, fat people are expensive, obesity is rampant, every bit of knowledge that can prevent grandscale obesity should be considered long-term financial investment

This is true.

Well so much for getting any real information on nutrition from this piece of shit. It will be like Supersize Me where they just target someone to sue. It will be interesting if the spend more time or less on corn farmers since they are heavily subsidized.

is sugar from fruits like raisins just as bad as the sugar from M&Ms?
>>29105432
As a package, no.
>>29105432
Processed foods usually contain sucrose (a disaccharide of glucose and fructose) or high fructose corn syrup (a mix of separate glucose and fructose molecules).
As for which is worse, it depends who you ask. Most people will say it doesn't matter, sugar calories are sugar calories. There are some (possible quacks) who say fructose is very bad for you, and some (definite quacks) who say HFCS is very bad for you.
>>29103741
glucagon... that's a hormone that does the opposite thing to insulin. What you are looking for is glycogen which is stores in muscles and the liver. The body only has capacity for so much of it and can only store it at a certain rate. Drinking a can of coke exceeds that rate and a lot of the sugar will be picked up by adipose tissue (fat). In future, please know what you are talking about before shitposting.

Any way you slice it, it comes down to the individual. People aren't fat because of a gram of HFCS in their pork sausage, they're fat because they eat shitty food. Banning certain foods doesn't fix anything, it just shifts the problem elsewhere. If people are uneducated and don't have the motivation to look after themselves, all you can really do is take one vice away and have them pick up or amplify another.
>>29104030
wait, how do you take it if not via either method?
>>29104030
plus, there are most definitely downsides. It can cause psychosis, paranoia, insomnia and anxiety. If you take too much it can cause convulsions and seizures. Long term it causes cardiovascular, liver and kidney damage as well as hypertension, tooth decay and impotence. That's just off the top of my head.
>>29104501
only if your body currently requires them. If it does not then carbohydrates are immediately stored as high blood sugar damages the body. In contrast, the body can tolerate much higher amounts of lipids in the blood and will react to store them less aggressively.
>>29105039
Than You really don't know much about fat processing in your metabolism it makes you lose a lot of water it's actually slower than a diet that incorporates carbohydrates

Hey "doctor," read a medical textbook

>>29103131
Sucrose IS sugar you tard. Sucrose is 50% fructose and 50% glucose.

He said some people count sucrose and only sucrose as sugar. I suggest you ask a nephew for some reading comprehension exercises from his school and you'll be there in no time.

Facultative dietary thermogenesis.
I also have a science experiment for you. Drink a 2 liter bottle of soda and see how it makes you feel. The next day drink a bottle of olive oil and see how it makes you feel. The one that filled you with explosive energy wasn't being stored as fat. The one that made you feel sluggish, slow, and shitty was being stored as fat.
Y'all should watch this. It gives the rundown on how the body processes sugar/HFCS, and why it can be considered a poison. Forewarning, the talk is around 60 minutes, with 30 minutes of questions following.

>Sucrose = 50% Glucose/50% Fructose
>Glucose is used by cells for energy
>Fructose can only be converted into lipid-chains in the liver
>Half of the caloric energy of sugar is used to power the body, the other half has to be stored as fat
>HFCS is even worse than sugar in this regard

You fucking retard. If this happened to an extent necessary to control the effect of 2 liters of sugar water on your blood then it would still kill you via hyperthermia. The body brings blood sugar under control within minutes.
Seriously thinking that you can't get fat if you don't eat fats. /fit/ never ceases to amaze me.
>>29102974
>pizza hutt

>>29106635
It's not that you can't get fat if you don't eat fat, it's just that it's extremely difficult to. You ever see a fat long-term fruitarian?
>>29102996
well that's understandable when you consider that these mice are just drinking the cocaine water. that's what it sounds like anyway. if they were getting either sugar or cocaine injected into their veins, the results would probably be different.
Slightly related.
Is there a recipe for old style coca-cola with cocaine in it? I want to know what it tasted like...
>>29106739
Cola has coca leaf extract in it, so in that regard the taste is the same.
>>29106686
I don't see any fruitarians because I'm not a psychiatrist.
To put your bullshit in perspective, a 2 litre bottle of coke contains 800 kcal. That's 800000 calories. 1 calorie of energy raises the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius. Let's assume that this is similar for body tissue that is mostly water. So the bottle of coke would raise an average 70kg body's temperate on average by 800000/70*1000 degrees which is 11.4 degrees C. That would kill you within minutes. Obviously temperature would be lost and Some would find storage as glycogen but even half that rise would be fatal.
Now back to /b/ where you belong.
>>29106915
>digestion slowed by water, which also increases urinary excretion
Step up, senpai. Although as that book points out, a small amount of fat can be synthesized, it's just less than 5% of the caloric load given (in the case of fructose, even less for pure glucose like from starch)
>>29102996
>Mercola
You know that's a quack website, right?
>>29106915
calories are a measure of combustive energy release, NOT how much biological energy (ATP) they can produce.
there is some correlation, and sugary drinks like cola produce a shitton, but they aren't the *same*
You can find several studies to "prove" pretty much everything has negative effects on the human body.
I'll eat cereal, ice cream, bacon and chocolate bars as long as i live and probably never get diabetes or heart disease unless it is genetic and i'll never be obese.
And that is because, i have a functioning brain.
>>29106954
Okay, it's not immediate but for soda it is pretty damned fast. Also, the book assumes a normal diet. Vast amounts of sugar in a short period of time like my hypothetical bottle of coke cause a very large insulin response which causes movement of glucose into adipose tissue. Although conversion to fatty acid is still slow, once the glucose is there it doesn't leave unless there is a rise in glucagon which there won't be any time soon.
I'm only really arguing this for excessive amounts of refined sugars in a short timeframe.
>>29106224
Also the large cost of cocaine
>>29107094
Sure. Though even a fifth of the total energy release would cause a serious fever. He's full of shit and I just wanted numbers to make a point.
>>29103355
in germany there is. They recommend ~90g per day

The emphasis is added because of the children. That sentence was clearly not meant for you.
so what? should we replace sugar with cocaine?
just eat less
>>29102921
8 times more addictive than cocaine? What are have you been smoking(clearly not crack)?
I know sugar is addictive as hell but to say that it's 8 times more addictive than cocaine is just going full retard.
