Smoothies and fruit juices are a new risk to health

I'm appalled by your lack of judgment.

You dismiss the recording of a university class made by a Ph.D in Endocrinology that worked for 20+ years against the whole industry (which shows resilience and belief).

On the other hand you suggest to read articles on 3 websites that looks scammy at best?

I feel insulted.

I could return the compliment.

And I'm not saying he's wrong, I'm saying HFCS is indeed toxic, not sugar and fructose (proven by lots of studies made by PhDs with years of experience). So he's partially right.

Stephan Guyenet is a phd and he also kinda poo-poos the whole "sugar and fructose are toxic" thing. The problem with fructose is just that it's so yummy to humans that its modern ubiquity causes people to overeat.

Obviously his theory is being challenged and there might be some valid reason why it is. I'm not an expert in that field.

The guy saying Lustig is "wrong" was just full of it and I called him on that.
