interesting! The more we study it, the worse fructose seems to be, metabolically.

“While dietary fat used to be regarded as the leading culprit of public health, in recent years, researchers have found that the added sugars in the diet, mainly in the form of fructose, are primarily contributing to the prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD),” the researchers write.

Let’s just put it plainly; don’t worry about the fat in a food, worry about the sugar (especially high-fructose corn syrup)! It’s not the fat, it’s the sugar! And carbs are sugar precursors. Think about it, what is better than sugary fat? (Donuts and pie with a cookie dough ice cream chaser, anyone?)

makes your head spin! We were utterly fed misinformation, scandalously obtained, since at least 1985. And now things shift so often and so drastically that you never actually know what is good and what isn’t. It is simultaneously comically absurd and viciously tragic.

Solution? Trust great-grandma. She was a repository of eons of received wisdom…

Alzheimer’s disease? The answer, my friend, is mooing in the barn…

Older adults with a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer’s disease did not show the expected rise in cognitive decline and dementia risk when they ate relatively high amounts of meat. That is the conclusion of a new study from Karolinska Institutet published in JAMA Network Open.

against cancer? Eat meat!

Eating foods that contain animal protein is not connected to a higher chance of death and may even provide some protection against cancer-related mortality, according to new research.

A better food pyramid! Though the question is why things were different 100 years ago. And why all the artificial sweeteners and High-Fructose Corn Syrup? I’m totally sick of how sweet things are! AND there is the assertion that this is mainly for those already have metabolic disease–and I don’t think that is at all true.

Still, the old one (that is still there) was just horrible!

You’ve been juked…

So eating a hamburger is likely not a problem for you. Just the hamburger, the meat. The bun, OTOH quickly metabolizes into sugar. And that is a HUGE problem!

I sure wish I knew when I was 25 what I know now!

that is virtually for sure true.

We’ve been led astray. And while perhaps it is primarily just being wrong, there is indeed an aspect of hoity-toity “expertism” that has stymied science, combined with sheep-like gullibility on the part of most of us. Myself included.

And regardless of the causes, the results have been utterly catastrophic. Both widespread obesity problems (with associated issues) and increases in neurological dysfunction.
