Simple sugars are bad. Having 1/4 the simples sugars is still bad. This is harm reduction at best. They've replaced HFCS with apple juice which is a lateral move (and an old trick of the "healthy" beverage business) and making up the lack of sweetness with added stevia and monk fruit. Round it all out with acids to make them sour (or in the case of malic acid to add the drying effect of sour apple). This shit is essentially just diet soda with apple juice thrown in to call it "real juice" "no sugar added." Typical goyslop.

Sugar in fruit is good for you to a point right? If not how does fruit sugar differ from sugar in candy?

Sugar in fruit tends to be less of a problem than sugar in candy because its glycemic index is lower. In other words it takes the body longer to convert it into glucose, the stuff that actually fuels the body. That means fewer issues with wild fluctuations in your blood sugar and less strain on the pancreas since it doesn't have to create as much insulin to manage blood sugar spikes. It also means less sugar gets converted into fat when it can't be used as energy immediately.

In general though less sugar is better regardless of the source. That includes pretty much all carbs. Low carb, high protein, and high fat diets tend to be best. It turns out the fat => high cholesterol => heart disease claim is bullshit pushed by a hack doctor and government agencies that had a financial interest in selling more grain. Sugar is the real problem. I'm personally starting the carnivore diet when the semester ends. I saw amazing results in just a few weeks last time I did it. The only reason I stopped was because the transition can be tough on your cognitive abilities and I had midterms that I needed to ace.

Also because you can only eat so many apples, before you feel full. you can suck down goy syrup indefinitely.

There is nothing magical about sugar from fruit, cane or corn.

Pointing the finger at any single one is just avoiding something Westerners seem incapable to face : "you're fat because you eat too much". East Asians aren't typically fat, yet their diet is high carbs with delicious high carbs sauces to season it.

Sugar is energy. Excess energy is stored as fat. Consume less energy than your body needs to function and you'll lose weight. The retort to that is "you can't expect people not to stuff their face at any hint of hunger when they have food tyat taistes good avaliable, and my my restrictive diet with food taboos will fix that so you'll never over-eat." Okay then, do that if it works for you.

People get lost in trying to figure the magical diet, exercise, protein/fat/carbonhydrates( sugars ). Just eat less. Mesure with a food scale, calories per X gram is at the tip of the fingers on a tablet or keyboard.

The "insulin hypothesis" guru had his own study invalidate his hypothesis ( results = weight loss is predictable based on caloric intake / predicted caloric deficit alone, not sugar % of said caloric intake ).

But he still insists he's right.

I wonder if they use glyphosate in East Asia.

Fasting and going for walks helped me more than anything, I did also quit eating most sugars other than blueberries and honey.

As there are only essential acids in proteins and fats, carbs/sugar aren't needed as much so I try and get in mostly food my body can use for more than just energy.

After fasting, it's recommended to take in only high protein (pea protien a bit cleaner than whey after a fast) as the fat/carb combo together will go directly to storage, although a little cinnamon helps prevent this from cortisal reduction (Thomas DeLauer gets into the study).

Sugar isn't really good for you in any amount. The required minimum of carbs for a human is 0g. A small amount isn't harmful though; it's only if you get enough that it harms your liver. Any simple sugar contains fructose and fructose is as bad for your liver as ethanol, but your liver can process a certain amount of fructose (or ethanol) without harm.

Wild fruit generally has much less sugar than cultivated fruit. Try eating a crabapple for proof of this.

What is good for you in fruit is the vitamins and the fiber, so eat a bit of fruit per day in moderation; just don't go overboard. The problem with PLEZi is apple juice may as well be HFCS as far as nutrition is concerned; it has no fibers and few vitamins.

I try and keep my fruit limited to dark berries (blue/black/ras), those have enough positives like antioxidants without much sugar where they are included on keto lists.

I'll eat a peach or orange if someone offers it to me but I don't buy bags of them at the store.

Honey is the only sweetener I use on occasion because I support the local bee population, you never know when you might need the help of bees.

If you're cooking from basic ingredients, there's not likely to be an excess of sugar. Most of our sugar comes from processed food. There is no minimum that you need, but 5g sugar a day is very doable.

Thank you. Makes sense. I drink mostly water now. Although if health were no concern I’d be drinking soda all the time

It'd be better if there was a focus on growing your own food, that's the only way to fully ensure that you know what's in your food.

That and trusted smaller distributors you build up a rapport with.
