Probably not the same sugar as a soda. The subtle differences can really make a big difference when it comes to biological processes.

- jimmar 5y agoThe sugar in milk is lactose (glucose + galactose). Soda is basically fructose and glucose. So the glucose if common between the two. I want recommendations of "don't eat sugar" to dig into the details, because sugar is everywhere. My mother-in-law "doesn't eat sugar" but constantly snacks on figs/dates, pours honey over everything, and drinks fruit smoothies daily. In my opinion, she has a very high sugar diet despite not adding any table sugar or corn syrup to anything. Many recommendations say to limit "added sugar" without explaining why naturally occurring sugar is okay.

- sul_tasto 5y agoHere’s the best explanation I’m aware of. It’s long but worth it. It changed how I think about food. I’ve been much more successful in eating healthily now that I understand how the body processes different types of sugar. Refined sugar (fructose) is poison. https://youtu.be/dBnniua6-oM https://youtu.be/dBnniua6-oM
- Thorentis 5y agoSucrose is table sugar, and fructose is the sugar found in fruit and veg. Fructose is also often used as an additive in the form of high-fructose corn syrup. Unfortunately fructose is even worse for you than sucrose, despite fructose occurring in otherwise healthy foods.
- toxik 5y agoWhat a great presentation, I hadn’t seen this. My question would be: what of the diet or zero calorie products? I heard they make you overconsume later because basically they are anti-satiating. Would be interested to know.

- brnt 5y agoI'm not a big fan of sugar, and I regret that I even avoid fruits on account of them being too sweet. Some apples are sour, but that's not preferable either. What's a nice fruit that's not bred to be way too sugary?
- flavius29663 5y agoLook at keto diet fruits: berries(raspberries, blueberrie, blackberries etc.) and I think cantaloupes as well.

- y4mi 5y agoNuts too!
- 0dayz 5y agoI would argue what mainstream stores would call "asian"/exotic, like dragon fruit.
