Humans are hard wired to crave sucrose and fructose
The problem isn't sugar, the problem is the American life style. Try running a marathon effectively or power lifting without simple sugars. You can't, period, at least not as well as you could.
The other problem is HFCS and artificial sweetners have completely screwed over people's glycemic response. Going on a temporary sugar fast then retraining the response is the actual key to everything.
So I'll stick to two scoops just like Trumpy bear.
HFCS is the real problem. Remember how corn growers, read Archer Daniels Midland, had ads saying HFCS is absorbed the same way sugar is and that the body doesn't know the difference? They lied - imagine that.
There is no chemical bond in HFCS, when we consume it, no digestion is needed to separate the glucose from the fructose. The sugars are immediately absorbed into the bloodstream. It goes straight to the liver. This is one of the causes of fatty liver, insulin resistance, etc.
In grade school through college, I can think of less than 10 fellow students who were overweight -10. This was from 1964-1980. HFCS became a sugar substitute in the late 70's. By the early 80's, I noticed that girls in my younger brothers' classes were getting heavier than we had been. It's just gotten worse through the decades.
And that was your nutrition less on for the day. 😀
Refined, bleached sugar is what I was referring to. I was responding to a post about donuts and coffee. Not oranges. This is mostly a strawman argument
