Yes. They have always added it to food to make us eat more.

Uric acid is also an signalling molecule that tells us to pack on fat for winter. It activates the ARYL Hydrocarbon receptor, which blocks the function of the circadian genes that regulate metabolism.

Its how Bears and Squirrels pack on fat and prepare to hibernate.

Certain substances like Fructose trap us in a constant pre torpor like state. The government and food industries have known this since 1908-1936.

I've taken to calling the modern obesity epidemic GMMD. Government Mandated Metabolic Disorder.

It should really take off in the academic journals.

I think it also depends on the method of juicing. If you include the pulp (by juicing the whole fruit) you still get the Fibre from the fruit. If you just squeeze the juice out its just sugar water.

Gotta get rid of all this damn corn somehow.

Externalizing memory isn’t a failure, it’s efficiency!

I don’t remember being a participant in this study but I must have been.

As someone who also suffers from migraines, it makes mine worse

We do not need carbs but if you are going to have a healthy diet you will have no other alternative since I do not think popping pills count. But I would love to be proven wrong.

The imporantant point is there should be some room for nuance. When I was young there were litterly no obesy children at my school. Maybe one or two was slightly owerwight in every class. Despite that many ate candies every saturday. Some “free sugar” was not a problem then and does not need to be a problem today.

With that said, it doesn’t perfectly align… but it jives with this from November where intermittent fasting was protective of Alzheimer’s in mice. https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/zm1qje/a_study_on_mice_suggests_that_intermittent/

> In fact, the researchers found the entire foraging response was set in motion by the metabolism of fructose whether it was eaten or produced in the body.

This explains why i stand and stare the the open fridge after eating my less than healthy dinner.

They haven’t found anything. It’s just an untested theory among many that could be true. It doesn’t explain the hereditary nature of early onset and would suggest diet it’s just diet — but then overweight people should get Alzheimer’s and thin people shouldn’t.

I think it's meant to be a "derogatory term" towards those who have the ability to do otherwise, and don't. You're kind of inserting yourself into a situation that doesn't exist/you aren't in.

I mean what was even the point of you saying this?

They knew early on that HFCS makes you want to eat more.

I would probably eat during that study
