source? because that's stupid.

I think the first part of your statement is somewhat contradictory. If there are "limits" then you can't eat all you want...right?

it's not contradictory. "you can eat all you want within limits." it's maybe slightly redundant? why cannot you english

MSG is injected into laboratory rats to induce obesity. It also has been shown to increase appetite in male rats and to induce obesity in female rats and chickens. Scientists in Spain have recently concluded that MSG when given to mice increase appetite by as much as 40%.

msg is actually pretty natural (no less natural than table sugar, anyway). it's contained naturally in beets and seaweed, among other things. but why bring up msg? we were talking about trans fats.

High fructose corn syrup is not sugar. Its a synthetic based sweetner which are grown from genetically modified corn. The phrase "High Fructose" in HFCS indicates that it has a higher fructose level.

Fructose itself is a sugar contained in fruits. I understand that HFCS is different and wasn't confusing fructose with HFCS. That said, I don't understand what sort of distinction you're attempting to make here--sucrose is a sweetener, fructose is a sweetener, and HFCS is a sweetener. By pretty much even the strictest definition, HFCS is also a sugar, and appears on nutritional labels that way.

This higher level of fructose puts a lot of pressure on the body. There is a difference between sugar and sweetners and they have very different effects on the people who use them.

Maybe? But all sugars (or "sweeteners" if you insist on defining them differently even though they're not) have the same effects on blood sugar and insulin levels, which is the point I was making in the first place.
Quote:
Then we can also agree that this synthetic form of sweetner has a different chemical make up than normal sugar. Which would then lead us to believe that synthetic forms of food and food additives are the most likely culprit to obesity.
|
uh, why? for one thing, fructose has a different chemical compound than sucrose and both are very natural. for another, sugars are a nonessential nutrient. are you implying that someone cannot VERY VERY EASILY get fat without sugar and/or synthetic foods?
