Excessive Fructose is Poison & Burden To The Liver & Mitochondria
Forum memberr @tyw figured this out long ago, fructose is poison. Sure wish I would have listened to @tyw back then. The liver sees it as a toxin and clears it as such while being a burden at the same time. So table sugar is poison, Mexican coke is poison, ice cream poison, and on and on...raypeatforum.com
I will say that I do think fruit is good for puting on weight, which is what nature intends for food to do in many cases, help people survive. The problem is too much of anything is going to make a person fat. I fresh squeezed myself two or three oranges and mix them with water and add sugar and salt. I have been soaking frozen raspberries and blueberries in water and added a sliced orange to it since yesterday morning. The color, vitamins and minerals that come out of the fruit into the water serves as my multi-vitamin. Fruit is precarious in many ways, from the seeds, skin and fiber, but also things like melons and coconuts harbor mold. Ray Peat said to eat a piece of fruit before a meal to stimulate digestion, not eat lots of fruit, or sugar for that matter. I think people took the ball and ran with on the sugar, and use it wrong. Mixing sugar WITH fruit is wise, but eating white sugar alone is not, as it is empty calories. Sugar, as well as fruit should be used to help with proteins. With all of that to consider, then we have the problem of pesticides and other things sprayed on our fruit, poor soils money maker companies grow the fruit in, the degradation of the fruit from the manufacture processes which destroys the integrity of the fruit, and shockingly long storage times. I think fruit, as well as vegetables, are meant to be eaten in their appropriate seasons, in harmony with the sun, vitamin D and body temperature. Eating juicy fruit in the winter and an apple in the summer is the opposite of what nature intended. Fruit is a wonderful thing and has more nutrition than any other food, but like grains, one needs to think about how it should be prepared and when it is most beneficial. Fruit and other sugar sources are metabolized differently depending on if you are overweight or underweight. It isnât a one size fits all. The problems with fruit is sometimes the fruit and sometimes the personâŚ
âObesity, like diabetes, seems to involve a cellular energy deficiency, resulting from the inability to metabolize sugar.â -Ray Peat
âBudd's prescription included 8 ounces of white sugar and 4 ounces of honey every day, and again, instead of increasing the amount of glucose in the urine, the amount decreased quickly as the patient began eating almost as much sugar as was being lost initially, and then as the loss of sugar in the urine decreased, the patient gained weight and recovered his strength.â -Ray Peat
âRefined granulated sugar is extremely pure, but it lacks all of the essential nutrients, so it should be considered as a temporary therapeutic material, or as an occasional substitute when good fruit isn't available, or when available honey is allergenic.â -Ray Peat
âMost store-bought types of orange juice arenât made by simply squeezing fresh-picked oranges and pouring the juice into bottles or cartons.
Rather, theyâre produced through a multi-step, rigorously controlled process, and the juice can be stored in large tanks for up to a year before packaging.
First, oranges are washed and squeezed by a machine. Pulp and oils are removed. The juice is heat-pasteurized to inactivate enzymes and kill microbes that could otherwise cause deterioration and spoilage (1Trusted Source, 2Trusted Source, 3Trusted Source).
Next, some of the oxygen is removed, which helps reduce oxidative damage to vitamin Cduring storage. Juice to be stored as frozen concentrate is evaporated to remove most of the water (4).
Unfortunately, these processes also remove compounds that provide aroma and flavor. Some of them are later added back to the juice from carefully blended flavor packs (5).
Finally, before packaging, juice from oranges harvested at different times may be mixed to help minimize variations in quality. Pulp, which undergoes further processing after extraction, is added back to some juices (1Trusted Source).â
âOrange juice and whole oranges are nutritionally similar, but there are some important differences.
Most notably, compared to a whole orange, a serving of orange juice has significantly less fiber and about twice the calories and carbs â which are mostly fruit sugar.â
âFor example, in one study, store-bought orange juice had 15% less vitamin C and 27% less folate than home-squeezed orange juice (4). Though not listed on nutrition labels, oranges and orange juice are also rich in flavonoids and other beneficial plant compounds.
Though not listed on nutrition labels, oranges and orange juice are also rich in flavonoids and other beneficial plant compounds. Some of these are reduced during orange juice processing and storage (1Trusted Source, 4, 11Trusted Source).
âWhatâs more, one study found that â compared to unprocessed orange juice â pasteurized orange juice had 26% less antioxidant activity immediately after heat processing and 67% less antioxidant activity after about a month in storage.â
