Sugar is the root cause of most obesity in the world today.
There is no “sugar” in Mountain Dew. It’s high fructose corn syrup.
That garbage will give you pancreatic cancer.
“ Sugar is the root cause of most obesity in the world today.”
Absolutely. The misconception among many is that fat leads to fat. The French eat a lot of fat but they are not fat. Insulin is the real culprit. Insulin is triggered by sugar.

Oh if it were just that simple. There are a number of reasons for obesity besides sugar consumption. The first and obvious is that if a person uses more calories than they intake, they will lose or maintain weight. But there are a number possibilities.
The world around us influences our ability to maintain a healthy weight. Not having area parks, sidewalks, and affordable gyms makes it hard for people to be physically active. Oversized food portions increase Americans’ calorie intake, making even more physical activity necessary to maintain a healthy weight. Some people don’t have access to supermarkets that sell affordable healthy foods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables.
Certain medicines also may cause weight gain, including some corticosteroids, antidepressants, and seizure medicines.
Research shows that genetics plays a role in obesity. Genes can directly cause obesity in diseases like Prader-Willi syndrome and diabetes I or II.
Some hormone problems may cause overweight and obesity, such as underactive thyroid, Cushing syndrome and polycystic ovary syndrome.
Some people eat more than usual when they are bored, angry, upset, or stressed.
Studies also have found that the less people sleep, the more likely they are to have overweight or obesity. This is partly because hormones that are released during sleep help control appetite and the body’s use of energy.
Our bodies are an incredibly complex machine. And more can go wrong than right. And each person has to find their right. But it takes a lot of wrong to do so. So they invented Pepto and jogging shoes to watch the back.

That’s right.
Refined sugars like glucose are extremely bad in any excess. There is research however indicating that HFCS poses an additional or synergistic issue. Sometimes you’ll hear people say things like “sugar is sugar”. They might be similar from a chemical standpoint, though not the way the body tries to deal with it.
Anyone who is overweight or morbidly obese almost certainly has some degree of non-alcoholic fatty liver. Unlike glucose, which can be utilized by practically every cell in the body, Fructose is only metabolized in the liver. While it is difficult to consume too much fructose by eating fresh fruit, juices might cause issues. So much for fruit juices being “healthier” than Soda!
Almost all sodas use Corn Syrup for sweetening. And this guy was drinking a 12 pack a day. The beauty of the human body, if he quits that shit and loses the fat, his organs will recover including the liver, blood pressure will come down, blood lipid parameters fall into line, blood sugar, he’ll be able to wipe his again, all kinds of health benefits.
I would argue it's the high fructose corn syrup in the drink in this instance.
It tells you right in the name...high - fructose (or fruit sugar)
That means...it's got LOTS of CORN sugar in syrup form.
The caffeine hooks, the corn latches.
Lose self control, you can't fit through hatches.
I try to only buy foods with no added sugar. However, this means you need to stay away from "low-fat" versions of anything. Because when the fat is artificially taken out of anything, sugar must be put in instead so that the product will still taste good.
Yogurt is an excellent example. People think they are doing good for their body when they buy "low-fat" versions of sugar but if you read the ingredients, you will see the sugar added in (and they may have other names for it besides sugar like dextrose or fructose). The best yogurt to eat is the full fat versions, which are much more creamier and tastier. Some yogurt brands have "cream layer on top" which is the best.
If you eliminate added sugars from your diet, then you quickly lose your appetite for foods that are overly sweet. 85% dark chocolate will actually start tasting not quite so bitter and dark chocolate is far better healthwise than milk chocolate.
Beware of sugar in liquids however. During the recent hot weather, I switched from red wine to ice cold "hard" lemonade. I started putting on pounds quickly and I realized it was due to all the sugar in those hard lemonade drinks.
Wrong. It's High Fructose Corn Syrup, not sugar. Your body readily coverts cane sugar to energy. Not so much with HFCS.
Very true. You cut sugar out of your diet as much as possible and you will lose weight.
