Edit:: EAT your Fruity Pebbles OVERWEIGHT AMERICA!

my wife and I were discussing glucose, fructose, sucros, etc

I think the body naturally metabolizes glucose in its pure form. Corn syrup is glucose. Beet sugar and cane sugar is fructose. High fructose corn syrup is:

High-fructose corn syrup is produced by milling corn to produce corn starch, then processing that starch to yield corn syrup, which is almost entirely glucose, and then adding enzymes that change most of the glucose into fructose. The resulting syrup (after enzyme conversion) contains approximately 90% fructose and is HFCS 90. To make the other common forms of HFCS (HFCS 55 and HFCS 42) the HFCS 90 is mixed with 100% glucose corn syrup in the appropriate ratios to form the desired HFCS. The enzyme process that changes the 100% glucose corn syrup into HFCS 90 is as follows:

Cornstarch is treated with alpha-amylase to produce shorter chains of sugars called oligosaccharides.
Glucoamylase - which is produced by Aspergillus, a fungus, in a fermentation vat — breaks the sugar chains down even further to yield the simple sugar glucose.
Xylose isomerase (aka glucose isomerase) converts glucose to a mixture of about 42% fructose and 50–52% glucose with some other sugars mixed in.

I thought you were calling Eat out.

I'd like to see some stats on Juvenile diabetes?? It seems like a lot of kids these days suffer from it. I never heard of it when i was younger..just like Autism.

LOL..now, now...that would result in getting my thread deleted. Which, btw, since i started it it will prolly get deleted anyway.

I sat at the airport Saturday afternoon and for two hours I observed people. I counted, on average, every third person was fat. Every tenth person was obese. WTF is happening?
There were 'fat' people in wheelchairs and some 'fat' children weren't walking rather skating on those sneakers with rollers. Geeze.............this is such a fat, lazy, TV-watching, fast-food eating, no-thinking nation!

Yeah, I'm proud to be an American!

Childhood Obesity Running Out of Control

* 4% overweight 1982 | 16% overweight 1994
* 25% of all white children overweight 2001
* 33% African American and Hispanic children overweight 2001
* Hospital costs associated with childhood obesity rising from $35 Million (1979) to $127 Million (1999)

Childhood Metabolic and Heart Risks

* New study suggests one in four overweight children is already showing early signs of type II diabetes (impaired glucose intolerance)
* 60% already have one risk factor for heart disease

Surge in Childhood Diabetes

* Between 8% - 45% of newly diagnosed cases of childhood diabetes are type II, associated with obesity.
* Whereas 4% of Childhood diabetes was type II in 1990, that number has risen to approximately 20%
* Depending on the age group (Type II most frequent 10-19 group) and the racial/ethnic mix of group stated
* Of Children diagnosed with Type II diabetes, 85% are obese

Weight Loss Advice
No matter how much excess weight or fat you have, if you want to lose weight permanently, your diet program should be directed toward a slow, steady weight loss. According to official government dietary guidelines, unless your doctor feels your particular health condition would benefit from more rapid weight loss, you should expect to lose no more than 2 pounds of fat a week, although initial loss (mainly water) may be greater. Losing more weight is no guarantee that weight loss is likely to be permanent.

I agree. They really push the high fructose corn syrup laden products on us, especially kids. The stuff is poison.

Almost as bad as the way push sex and pornography on us adults.

Can't see the correlation?

That's because you are as addicted to filth as fat people are to food.

And whether you will admit it or not, it's just as poisonous.

Btw, with the above facts n figures, lets decrease or totally take away Phys. Ed. in our school system and let them get fatter. Oh wait...we already have been doing that. My bad.

Deleted, why?

I have a group of little trolls that constantly put my name in the subject line of threads, and they NEVER get deleted!

I guess the mods don't like me...

so you're telling me you also aren't going to get on the new taco bell weight loss diet they've been showing either?

This one is really funny. They are claiming soft drinks do not cause Obesity.

Oh really?

Why did I lose 30 lbs when I stopped drinking Pepsi every day.
I went from a 38 waist to a 32 waist. That site is so full of lies.

Join the club, Pud. Some don't like me either. Just keep on keepin on buddy. All you can do.

I'm gonna wait for the Braums diet.

HOLY FUCK!!! I forgot about that one too! I swear i was gonna start a thread about that. LMAO

haha me too, just haven't got around to doing it.

Although the thread title is somewhat disjointed, you seem to be saying that EAT has fruity pebbles..?

That's disturbing on so many levels..

OP

assholes
