I think that stinks. Don't like it eat some artificial crab meat. http://www.marksdailyapple.com/imitation-crab/ Nothing to Apologize about. Someday gardens are trees maybe not needed. Just like in the movie classic, "Silent Running" with Bruce Dern. In that movie the entire planet consumed artificial foods. Also the "high fructose corn syrup" to be renamed "Corn Sugar". http://www.usatoday.com/money/advert...rn-syrup_N.htm Sounds much nicer It would be a misnomer as corn sugar is glucose. High fructose corn syrup is something else but is functionally identical to sucrose when put in the high acid environment of sodas. Food police should bitch about something real. Hmmm... Fructose and sucrose are two different types of sugar. Sucrose causes an insulin reaction. Fructose does not cause an insulin reaction. Fruticose is converted to fat by the liver. A high fructose diet is a high fat diet. Source: lookup YouTube.com for a video called "sugar: the bitter truth" the good doctor explains how high fructose diets causes type 2 diabetes. The video is one and half hours long, but worth while watching. I'm a retired chemist, which is why some of this stuff bugs me. Sucrose from sugar cane or beets is a disaccharide of glucose and fructose. Corn sugar is glucose and high fructose corn syrup is corn sugar treated with an enzyme to convert half of the glucose to fructose. It is not a disaccharide but in the low pH soda environment, sucrose inverts to the individual sugars, so functionally and nutritionally high fructose corn syrup and sucrose are the same. Fructose in the main sugar in fruits. I'm not familiar with the blood chemistry but did spend a summer as a lab tech in a plant that converted sucrose and glucose to sorbitol and mannitol. With those quals, you really should look at the Youtube reference DanL suggested. You might have the quals to fully understand it, I don't, but even without them, after seeing it, I was very thankful that I don't live in the US. Oh, man, an hour and a half! Since wife and I have no sugar problems, I'll pass I do avoid refined sugar, use artificial sweeteners in my coffee and don't drink soft drinks. :-)) Don't be a wimp Frank! I too thought that, but I couldn't believe how fast the time went when I watched it. I really do wish I had spent more time at school paying attention to my sciene teachers because I really did want to understand what he had to say. I got some of it, but you'd certainly take it all in. |
