The Trouble With Fructose

[@lsrprincy4986]

After having a lot of problem about my liver because of a frutarian diet , I have to admit , 100% of the information in this video is true Fructose is the main poison

[@Duck72432]

Strange I’ve suffered with anxiety and mood swings for ages I did an extensive elimination diet and food diary. Turns out I need fructose to function if I haven’t had fructose in a while I get all the symptoms of hypoglycaemia but by blood sugar as shown in this vid comes up normal. This was literally the last thing I expected everyone says fructose is bad but I feel awful without it. I did grow up weirdly not liking water and all I would drink was fruit juice.

@@Duck72432 I am the same. The main thing I consume in my diet is fruit. Not solely fruit- but it is what I consume the most of in my day and without it, I just have no energy, no motivation, depressed.

It is good that Dr Fong out pointed out when you eat fructose, it doesn't show up in the blood glucose level, because the glucose meter measure glucose only. So does this means diabetics patients who eat a lot of sweet fruit, then do test on their blood sugar with a personal glucose meter wouldn't see a sugar spike.

[@ellayouel2489]

Yeah, I thought about that, too. I hope that dr. Fung has got studies to prove that and not only - 'guessing'... What needs to be remembered is that the molecule of fructose is waaay waay smaller then the molecule of glucose. The molecule of fructose can easily cross the cellular wall of a cell without the assistance of insulin, while glucose to 'disappear' from blood system (to lower the blood sugar level) and into the cell needs the insulin to carry it through that wall....

[@Magnulus76]

Fruit isn't the major source of fructose in the American diet. Most Americans eat too little, not too much fruit. In addition, it's been demonstrated that the fructose in fruit is not utilized the same in the human body, as the fructose in processed foods and table sugar. Fructose is everywhere in processed foods. That is the major source.

[@margaretmarshall3645]

Calm down folks, Dr. Fung is NOT anti fruit! He IS against added sugars like table sugar (sucrose) and high fructose corn sugar. This interview is just a brief discussion of the relationship between too much fructose consumption and the liver. His book The Obesity Code is excellent. In that book, he says WHEN to eat is important, so we should “just don’t snack” and consider making breakfast optional. (He discusses occasional longer fasts, with a doctor’s supervision for those taking prescription meds, as something many people should consider too.) For WHAT to eat, his rules on p. 233 are: 1. Reduce your consumption of added sugars. 2. Reduce your consumption of refined grains. 3. Moderate your protein intake. 4. Increase your consumption of natural fats. 5. Increase your consumption of fiber and vinegar. Regarding desserts, he says on p. 221: “Follow the example of traditional societies. The best desserts are fresh seasonal fruits, preferably locally grown. A bowl of seasonal berries or cherries with whipped cream is a delicious way to end a meal. Alternatively, a small plate of nuts and cheeses also makes for a very satisfying end to a meal, without the burden of added sugars. Dark chocolate with more than 70% cacao, in moderation, is a surprisingly healthy treat....” On p. 222 he adds: “That is not to say that sugar cannot be an occasional indulgence. Food has always played a major role in celebrations - birthdays, weddings, graduations, Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc. The keyword here is _occasional_ . Dessert is not to be taken every day. “Be aware, though, that if your goal is weight loss, your first major step must be to severely restrict sugar. Don’t replace sugar with artificial sweeteners, as they also raise insulin as much sugar and are equally prone to causing obesity.“ Is that not simple, common sense advice? I am a big fan! And very grateful he provides a loophole for some forms of chocolate! 😊

so ive dealt with an ongoing right side rib discomfort for awhile. the last 20 years i was eatting excessive carbs( and not the best kind) cause i was lifting weights and wanted to gain size. I was 6ft 218 pretty muscular. Had high bp all the time. headaches, sore joints,fatigue but the right rib pain scared me. got blood work and Tested postive for gluten sensitivity..no liver damage on ultrasounds or anything like that. so i went gluten free. dropped all breads,cereals,pasta,baked goods etc. felt mildly better but still ate carbs. just without gluten still had right side pains but not as bad. Now im low carb, borderline keto but i still eat fruit. maybe an apple( green) a kiwi and some berries. or a grapefruit and strawberrys. so like 2-3 servings a day. I honestly feel like when i have fruit i get a litttle discomfort again under my right rib! im 6ft 175 lbs now since i went low carb and my blood pressure is down from 160/90 to 108/70. is fructose from the fruits maybe the culprit to this ongoing weird dull zap of pain under my right rib? the only thing i have not tried is fasting. i want to try but then im hungry and i say fuck it.

EURIKA! 4 minutes that probably changed my life. Kudos!

[@ashikgurung3391]

To those who are confused about the fruits being bad: no, he's not saying fruits are bad. He used fruits and bread as examples to distinguish the types of sugars and differentiate glucose and fructose. He never once says fruits are bad. He's targeting table sugar in its pure form and how many food products have them. Ironically, even sliced bread have "added sugar" in them which technically makes them less healthy. The reason why he says glucose (and hence bread) is "better" than fructose is because every cell in the body has a receptor that can take up glucose and use it. When there's excess glucose, insulin is released that "forces" all body cells to take in glucose from the blood (except for diabetics). For fructose, only the liver and pancreas has the receptor that can take it in. If the body has enough glucose and full glycogen stores (during the insulin fed state), all that fructose are converted to fat (hence fatty liver). Hence why table sugar which gives you a 1:1 ratio of glucose and fructose respectively can lead to fatty liver and metabolic syndrome. When you consume table sugar in forms of sugary drinks\sweets etc, Your body is not just getting glucose from that table sugar BUT on top of that, it's also getting fructose.

[@imanshaf8429]

He exactly implied fruit is bad. Fructose/glucose ratio in fruit is higher than table sugar which makes it far worse. Unfortunately, many people are addicted to fruit and think they're healthy so they come up with rationalizations as wht fruit is okay. What they don't understand is sugar content of fruit, as we have them today, is manipulated by humans to be much larger than they are in the wild.

[@zakvargo9147]

My dear friends, if fruit today is truly unhealthy, how is there 100s of studies that prove its benefits?? Yes fruit today has been modified and it is a bit sweeter, but not much. The type of fruit you eat will have a much larger impact on your total fructose intake than how modified the fruit is. Anyway, most of the modifications are reducing sour and bitter chemicals making the fruit taste sweeter while not even changing the fructose content. This video was informative but the information was improperly presented. Many people will walk away thinking fruit is bad for them, that is a shame

[@inesines227]

If you read dr. Fung books he is recomending some fruits in daily diet. Personaly I think we are missing something, it simply can not be the same fructose from table suger and fruits since in fruits it contains not only fiber, but vitamins, minerals, antioxidance and many healthy phytochemicals.

Sugars/ fructose traps fat and it makes you put on weight... I cut down in fruits and my weight is more manageble. Am glad that I came to know these facts about fruits..

[@ainharjitbs]

Dr Fung's point are correct... Lets go back to nature to get the answer... 50 years ago fruits were in their natural form. Fruits these day are genetically and biotechnically modified, as such fruits these day are bigger, sweeter and juicier. One example is the guava. The guavas sold these days in the markeplace are much bigger from the guavas we use to plant in our backyard..same goes for apples, oranges, mangoes ( oh my they are definitely damn sweet) and the list goes on.. Would just like to ask a question? Do you think the apple Adam ate in Eden's garden was as sweet as the apples we are consuming today? Even looking back at 50 years ago is enough, the apples those days were not as sweet as they are today... So this is where the fructose issue come..which Dr Fung is highlighting.. The truth is painful, but we have to accept the fact of the effects of fructose to our health...

@@TruffleSeeker54 Dear Janet, Please question your sources of your data, and do a little more looking into the subject. I've seen frugivores who thrive quite well. Of course a newbie will experience de-tox phenomenon because FINALLY the body is not overwhelmed with acidic and processed cooked foods, so yes there will be some initial malaise. There is even a weight lifter who is on a mainly frugivore diet. Apes are frugivores. Humans are primates, and there are quite a few vital and vigorous frugivores with youtube channels. I think you did not do your research extensively enough. I have spent hundreds of hours looking at people on different ways of eating, and studying biochemistry and anatomy, and trying diets out on myself too. The only reason that frugivor'ing could be a problem is 1) they are still toxic from their history of bad eating habits and the body is pulling out the toxins; 2) they are eating too many unripe fruits (unripe fruits are more acidi-forming), and 3) their adrenal glands (cortisol) are shot and need to experience autophagy so that one can eat sugary fruits without feeling weak. For example before I started dryfasting to initiate high performance autophagy I could not eat a bunch of grapes without practically going unconscious, but now I can eat grapes to my fill with no side effects. The body during the dryfast initiated autophagy and healed the adrenal glands. The longer I fast in between my fruit feasting window the cleaner my body gets. for example my skin has always been yellowish since birth, and now it is a healthy pinkish tone. I once spent a whole summer eating nothing but watermelon and it was always delicious and I felt great, but I first did a lot of dryfasting to de-tox my adrenals. Watermelon is very de-toxing. Ask your vet and he will confirm that dogs are omnivores, so fruit is on the menu. I saw a youtube video of vigorous, happy healthy dogs whose owner feeds them nothing but fruits -especially watermelon. I've seen it in person too. Fruit eating can rejuvenate an old dog. Too bad no researcher as done large studies about this. It is typical for people following conventional medicine to react to de-tox phenomenon as if it were an illness that needs to be treated - such as fever - and acid-forming foods, for dogs and humans, plus eating all times of the day give the body overwhelm and little chance to autophagically self-cleanse. There are no biochemical and anatomical studies of fruitarians in large enough numbers by researchers to prove out your statement, and any doctor or vet who agrees with your statement was given data without any significant research to back it up, and universities are largely funded by pharmaceutical companies and - for vet colleges - companies with profit motives.

As fruits have many micronutrients as well as fiber and e.g. phythochemicals, and are fairly low in total calories, I believe they are, in moderation, a valuable part of a healthy diet. Has the research mostly focussed on diets rich in table sugar (sweet beverages, sugary snacks etc.) or also put a moderate fruit intake to the test?

Because it is not. For one, there is no research presented given to this video. Jason Fung is selling low-carb diets, so he has an interest. There has only been studies on mice, that show that TOO MUCH fructose intake, really quickly, can/maybe create fatty liver. But you can not make a conclusion based on such study. The study also say that it has never been testet on humans yet. Of cause, Jason Fung has a huge interest in this cause he sells very low carb diets, so he will cherry pick small studies with no claims, and make them huge. Have a nice day.

Sugar is addictive, it has withdrawal symptoms which demonstrates its addiction, and people make excuses to justify their consumption of it in the same manner as a drug addict. If you explain to people that their lives would be far more improved if they simply ate natural fruits instead of sugary sweets they would react as any drug addict would, by becoming defensive and rationalizing their addiction even when the evidence is right there in front of them. People’s behaviors are often systemic and routine bound, so if they grew up eating a particular type of diet because that’s what their parents taught them to eat, they justify their continuance of the bad diet due to familial relativity until something changes in their routine like a relationship with someone who doesn’t consume the same diet, or a medical situation that bluntly causes them to see the impact of their harmful dietary regiment. Another impactful demonstrator of routine is when people see other people enjoying a POPULAR food indulged in society that often is marketed in commercials to be appealing. The actual sight of people indulging in the commercialized food will cause a popular consumptive reaction by others who want to understand what the fuss is all about, then find themselves partaking routinely with the now popular item. Strength in self control is not a prime character trait in society as was in the past, and over indulgence in instant gratification has taken its place.

Well most of the cells in our body can't actually process fructose so it's most completely metabolised in the liver essentially the liver converts fructose to energy this energy can't leave because of its molecular makeup and if there's any excess fructose after the energy conversion the liver stores it as glycogen which can be broken down into glucose and sent to other cells for use, the liver can only store so much glycogen once it's fully stocked the extra fructose is used to create triglycerides which can be moved outside of the liver for long-term storage as fat so based on this fruits which contain a lot of fructose must be bad? well actually no not at all fruits are loaded with water fiber and other nutrients so they take a while to digest therefore their fructose hits deliver. fructose is not unhealthy when it's consumed in moderation in the form of whole foods like fruits and vegetables Don’t know whats this bread talk all about maybe its good if you were going for a sprint so the body can use that glucose right away.
