The more I think about that presentation on fructose/sucrose the more important I think it is. I wish someone would make a formal transcript with the accompanying slide illustrations. I may even try and listen to it again. There certainly was a lot of great material there.

I would also like to hear more of the guy's ideas especially as to what he thinks is a good fat and a bad fat and what exactly is a bad carbohydrate (besides fructose and sucrose). He even said something about good and bad proteins.

I was thinking that the main thing wrong with bread could be that it contains fructose not that it contains wheat per say.

Wheat is a starch and so it should be converted to glucose which should not be nearly as harmful as fructose or sucrose.

Also he said something about fructose not stimulating insulin and that being harmful-kind of like saying that the concept of the GI (glycemic index) may need to be altered.

Also I think he mentioned some direct beneficial effects of fiber in ameliorating the effects of fructose.

So this would be another reason that eating a piece of fruit is OK while drinking fruit juice is definitely not. The most obvious reason is pure quantity. When you drink a glass of fruit juice it contains the juice and fructose of maybe 6 pieces of fruit. And how often to you eat 6 apples or oranges at one sitting?

I guess I will have to take another listen-maybe in the late afternoon today.
