Message: [QUOTE="Norcalbaker59, post: 43563, member: 2340"] I know you don’t want to take my word on it that the body metabolizes foods differently, but this is nothing new. And as food labelling laws become more inclusive to educate the public on what is in their foods, corporations have pushed back to exclude information. One of the areas that they have pushed to exclude is added sugar. They have petitioned the government to exclude inclusion of some added sugars as carbohydrates based on the way the body metabolizes them—they are sugars, but the body metabolizes them differently. The FDA has it under consideration because the science has long supported these facts.

When you move from general chemistry and biology into more advanced levels things get very complex. Sugars are not all the same—even when they have the same exact molecules, life fructose and glucose, they will have a completely different composition in their structure. And those differences make a huge difference in how the body uses them. Science doesn’t generalize. If there is no area that you cannot google and talk about, it is science. You have to take classes in science, there are no shortcuts. [/QUOTE]
