Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

We didn't see much fatness during our trips. There is much more here, on percentage.

Austin felt like a healthy place when we visited almost 20 years ago. Seattle, LA, etc. Healthier than what we saw in back in Illinois and Wisconsin.

Why honey is bad?  It's high in fructose.

Fructose is, in my view, the really bad actor because of how it's metabolized.  Honey is higher in fructose than HFCS-42 and about the same as 55.

If we used basic corn syrup as sweetner, I think it would be better.  It doesn't taste the same of course.

Different can of course be good, or bad.  I am entirely against RFKJr being anywhere near a position of influence on our health.

I couldn't disagree more on both accounts. Simplifying the comparison if HFCS-42 to honey, solely on the amount of fructose is similar to someone thinking they are eating healthy because they count calories. 

Secondly, i'd be surprised if that was your take on RFK Jr, if you read the The Real Anthony Fauci. Too many people simplify the book as a political stance, which tends to show they didn't read it, but the science behind it is spot on.  Lastly, the FDA shouldn't be in charge of banning anything because they are beyond corrupt and anything they do is related to $$$.. And yes, there are incredible lists of substance and compounds that should absolutely be banned because of what they do to the body. We should question banning harmful chemicals?

We should ban harmful chemicals presuming the dose is at a harmful level.  Selenium, for example, is pretty toxic, but without it, several biochemical processes don't work.

The dose makes the poison.

And I think honey is worse than HFCS42 because of the higher fructose levels.  Fructose, in my mind, backed up by substantial research, is the bad actor.  Table sugar is half fructose.  

Fructose toxicity: is the science ready for public health actions? - PMC

But, of course, I'm not an epidemiologist, though I worked closely with several over the years.  I once as a joke proposed using palytoxin in our product.  It's supposedly the most toxic nonpeptide known.The epi guy was not amused.

As I said, limiting SUGAR intake from ALL sources is a very good strategy. 

Pretty much me too,except when Cindy brings home pumpkin roll.

Oh and the Banana Cake that just came out of the oven  

This is such a weird article for CNBC:

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/18/dental-supply-stock-rallies-on-theory-rfks-anti-fluoride-stance-will-prompt-more-dentist-visits.html



The premise of the article is that some dental hygene company is seeing some kind of rally due to RFK wanting to limit fluoride in drinking water. 

But then you start looking at the stock chart, and it hardly even looks like anything other than a normal day.  


It just seems like the news media goes out of their way to manufacture the news constantly.
