Yeah, I'm being purely theoretical though.Westside PUFAs said:Blinkyrocket said:??? my whole point was that whatever sugar does, it does it even if we don't know what it does... Unless that's not true............................... Which I think it is. My point is that we don't have to know what sugar does for sugar to do what it does. Im having trouble not calling you an idiot because I just think you didn't read my comment correctly.
On the topic of sugar, we have taste sensors for it, and our brain recognizes it as good so I'm gonna eat it.
Also, what if thinking we have the solution (placebo) IS the solution? than, don't ruin it for us, gosh dangit.
Are you talking about sucrose? Cane sugar? We do know what it does. It's just pure sucrose which is half glucose and half fructose. It is simply sucrose extracted from the sugarcane plant. There is sucrose in fruits too. You could extrat sucrose from fruits if you wanted to too. The body uses it for energy.
"Although plain sucrose can alleviate the metabolic suppression of an average diet, the effect of sugars in the diet is much more likely to be healthful in the long run when they are associated with an abundance of minerals, as in milk and fruit, which provide potassium and calcium and other protective nutrients." - Raymond Peat, PhD
"Refined granulated sugar is extremely pure, but it lacks all of the essential nutrients, so it should be considered as a temporary therapeutic material, or as an occasional substitute when good fruit isn't available, or when available honey is allergenic." - Raymond Peat, PhD
