- specialist 7y agoYea, I was surprised to learn this. I love orange juice like a pirate loves rum. Alas, it's better to eat fruit and avoid juices. Fruit has sucrose. Sucrose splits into glucose and fructose. Calories and glycemic index aside: glucose good, fructose bad. The fiber in fruit helps block the metabolism of fructose, protecting the liver. Dr Lustig's video was my intro to this stuff. It's hard to watch, but I haven't read anything yet that contradicts any of it. Sugar: The Bitter Truth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM Update: Downvoted for science. Yay! I need something to kick my HN addiction. Stop doing this to myself.

- josefresco 7y agoDude I empathize. "Diet advice" invites almost as insane a reaction as "political debate" online. Keep sharing science and ignore the haters, and "hole pokers", the "tech diet nerds" and of course, the astroturfers.
