Yeah overfeeding mouse with a single isolated nutrient tells you exactly and only that overfeeding a mouse with that single nutrient is bad.
Giving people actual fruit and telling them to only eat fruit and as much as they want, and 99% of people will lose weight. Not that fruit only diet is good. Just giving an example on how most of this studies are not applicable to humans in real worlds.
- belltaco 5y agoYou're probably right, but this study has profound implications for consumption of fruit juice, especially highly processed ones like orange juice, soda with high fructose corn syrup and table sugar (50% fructose).
- xboxnolifes 5y agoMaybe, but I thought it has been relatively known for a decent while now that fruit juices weren't great for you due to the rate you ingest sugar from it. Maybe we'll learn they are more bad, but it's not like we didn't already know you should limit your sugary drinks.
- pieter_mj 5y agoEnhanced (all-)nutrient absorption through fructose-induced villi surface enlargment (in mice) is a new fact, no? IANAS, but I would expect this mechanism to be present in humans too.
- ssijak 5y agoBig maybe. And still, it is a fake condition with another animal, in an overfeeding condition. Very large chunk of problems in humans related to nutrition go away if you are not overeating calories. And I guess nobody would argue that if you would imprison a human being in a horrendous conditions (like mice) and overfeed them extracted HCFS syrup, that they would be a paragon of health.
