Is sugar toxic? (www.nytimes.com)

Responses:

*blahblahblahblahi'mnotlistening" I eat tons of sugar. But my blood tests are always fine. -- nm - Amy Apr 26, 08:59
I had missed it, but have been avoiding sugar for years. (single point of data warning) My body doesn't handle sugar well at all. I'm insulin-resistan -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 08:50 3
- and the article actually goes into that. - znufrii Apr 26, 08:53 1
  - that's what I've always heard. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 08:56
- Heh. SPOD Alert. I like it. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Apr 26, 08:52

- what's interesting is that the research mentioned in the article actually agrees with the creepy pro-HFCS ads - znufrii Apr 26, 08:51 7
  - What I don't get is why sucrose is so must worse than fructose (not HFCS, just regular fructose). -- nm - mara Apr 26, 08:55 3
    - that's a good question, I would imagine that if you're consuming fructose from natural sources (fruits) it's a lot less concentrated - znufrii Apr 26, 08:58
    - I wish I understood sugar metabolism better. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 08:56 1
      - I learned from Wikipedia that sugar is digested by super-tiny lobbyists in my tummy -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Apr 26, 09:01
  - I'd rather have the real thing - I mean, if you're going to be unhealthy, there's zero upside to a pseudo-synthetic equivalent. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Apr 26, 08:54 1
    - I wonder if the real problem with HFCS is that it's just in so much damn stuff. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 08:55
  - sure. it's all sugar. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 08:52
