Guest yikes Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 now i read labels and see how fucking loaded w/sugar supposedly "healthy food " really is. like your average sports bars-3-4 teaspoons of sugar! bloodclot! i've been off the poison for 3 weeks and it ain't easy. i'm on some fruit and nut snacks. strawberries and coco nibs,apples etc oh and BLUEBERRIES are the bomb. turns out strawberries and blueberries have a ton of antioxidants -strawberries being the highest of all.

Guest boo Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 it is pretty much out of my diet. didn't make a conscious decision to do that though. don't tend to have sports bars and whatnot cause they're a rip-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

essines Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 i find it insane that people don't realise there is sugar in their food. i also don't get how people can eat so much of it and find it hard to get off of? seems pretty straight forward.

SR4 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 aren't i already dead then? what's the point? i can filter out about 30-40% of the poison? grow my own shit on a farm somewhere? invent a machine that defluoridizes tap water/my urine?

Redruth Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 sucrose bad, fructose good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delet... Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 sucrose bad, fructose good lol, watch the video.The fructose we get is mainly from High Fructose Corn Syrup and fructose is bad. Sucrose which we get from beets and cane sugar is half fructose, half glucose so less bad. But still not something you want much of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redruth Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 any sugar that is isolated from it's original source is going to ultimately have negative effects on the body. the natural time released design in digestion of a whole food (with fiber etc) is what keeps us safe, whatever that food may be. anything can be excessively indulged in, sugar is no different, however, i do not believe in the maxim, 'everything in moderation', some things are best avoided completely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaini Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 please explain why refined sugar is worse than unrefined sugar. i'm not disputing that excessive sugar is bad for you, i'm just looking for an explanation as to why refined sugar is worse, edit: troon, your vague hand-waving bullshit two posts up is not an explanation respected peer-reviewed sources, please.

luke viia Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 i eat ten grain hot cereal in the morning (with honey, fruits and nuts), for lunch it's usually pasta with whatever vegetables i have in the house and sometimes grilled chicken (veggies from the local organic produce stand), and also cheese and olive oil. for dinner i usually eat pizza or salad from my work. we don't put sugar in any of our ingredients, just local honey (i recently had a vegan tell me honey is bad because it "exploits the bees".... i ended the conversation pretty quick after that). i put honey in my tea, turbinado sugar in my coffee. in short, honey FTW, try not to eat your food from a box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably means sugar in food stuffs like fruit, versus sugar as a food additive. He just doesn't realise that this was the distinction that he was going for, until it's now been defined for him. Btw, i had a sachet of sugar in my decaf at the café before. And then a small bottle of pepsi with the lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Iain C Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 i tend to avoid it. i try to stick to a diet of whole grains, fruit and veg for the most part - but every once in a while i'll have a pizza with some gross sugary sauce and tons of cheese.

Guest Iain C Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 i recently had a vegan tell me honey is bad because it "exploits the bees" hahah "Exploits the bees" sounds dumb, sure, but I don't think it's totally ridiculous to reject the idea of holding dominion over any sentient animal for the purposes of feeding humans. You can "exploit" a bee just like you can "exploit", say, tar sands or rainforests. Not a vegan, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke viia Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Yeah, but vegans are "exploiting" plants and grasslands, so that logic can be thrown out the window right now. Life eats life and there's no way of getting around it. I'm not pulling out the bee's wings and putting pins in their faces after I eat their sweet, sweet nectar, and neither are the people raising them. And for the record, I find the idea of keeping pets such as cats and dogs to be a much worse offense of holding dominion over other sentient creatures (for the purpose of entertaining humans, mind you) than raising bees. Bees don't end up in the pound, nor are they trained to fight or attack each other (to my knowledge). I will post "30 hornets vs 30,000 bees" if we really need to drive home the point of natural violence in the world, but if the [vegan] argument is that humans should be above 'holding dominion' over other animals, there are better places to start remedying the problem than beekeeping. That's why I stopped this conversation when it first approached me. *slowly backs off while wolfing out* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Iain C Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 "there are better places to start remedying the problem than beekeeping" Well, if they're vegan then they've already started, haven't they? Anyway, I don't want to get caught up in the semantics of "exploitation" and whether exploiting bees is any worse than exploiting plants or whatever else - just pointing out that there are less ridiculous definitions of the word than this idea of millions of bees toiling away under the whip of some sinister overseer.

Guest boo Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 well the bees are all depressed and not making babies, maybe as a protest against us eating their produce and not paying them for it. we do grow flowers for them though, they must enjoy that easy availability of flowers.
