Food Science: When will we realize sugar is the root of all evil?

That picture doesn't really tell you anything at all.

 

sugar is good in moderation

 

Yeah, let's just make a long list of what's next so we can ramp up our efforts to tell people how to live their lives because the collective knows what's best for everyone. Always.

Results, not excuses. What, you're in shape and you like sugar? TOO BAD. Cheeseburgers? THAT'S NEXT, PAL. Air?! HAVE YOU SEEN WHAT THEY ARE PUTTING IN THAT STUFF?!

 

almost everything is good in moderation. problem is nothing is consumed in moderation in America.

 

People know sugar is bad for them, it is just delicious. With that said, High-fructose corn syrup and tons of carbs are why we have an obesity problem, not sugar.

 

Is a life without Sugar, Salt and butter even life at all?

That's like life without a penis.

 

hahaha.....my thoughts exactly. could make the same picture with glasses of water or inhalations of air.

 

Helluva drug and a growing problem.

 

A calorie is a calorie is a calorie. If a fatty wants to lose weight and still enjoy their sugar they need to eat less of it in order to lose weight but technically they can go on an all sugar diet and lose weight. They won't get the other necessary vitamins and nutrients that help make the body run and feel optimal but you can sure as hell lose weight eating just sugar.

 

SUGAR?

As a MURICAN what is this sugar you guys speak of? None of that is in any of my food. All I have in my food is GOOD OL MURICAN CORN SUBSIDIZED HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP

 

Fat = root of all evil
Carbs = root of all evil

Seriously, just track what you're eating. 1500-1600 calories is about what you should be targeting for daily intake for healthy weight loss.

 

Oh trends.
Back in the day fats were the root of all evil.
Now its sugar.

Stop trying to eliminate things from a diet and preach a BALANCED diet.
Using sugar and carbs as a scapegoat for your weight is what promoted the monstrosity that is the Atkins diet.

CARBS BAD!
FAT PROTEIN GOOD!
Kidney stones and poor heart health! Yay!

 

This is not true for every blood & body type.

 

like i said before,

sugar and stress are killers.

 

Half true.
Non complex-carbs burn faster, make you feel hungrier, can be burned off with exercise.
Protein and fats burn slower, fats pack a lot more calories per gram and protein can be used for muscle growth rather than stored as energy.

However, at the end of the day net calories of say... 1800 calories will cause both a 200 lb person and a 1000 lb person barring any weird abnormality to lose weight.

Yes. Your body can burn more calories in a day depending on your muscular structure, how much you exercise, how much you weight at the moment.
