You should check out Dr. Lustig's youtube videos and his papers. He cites plenty of evidence. He also explains the mechanism by which fructose is processed by the liver, and why the fructose in fruits does not cause problems.

Fruit is perfectly healthy in large quantities if it is raw with nothing added. The human body is very capable of processing the sugars in fruit. It's when those sugars get extracted and concentrated we run into trouble. Juices and smo

I would like to back that up. I used to be the guy that ordered miltiple additional portions of fries all the time. I thought I really liked fries. Eventually I figured out it was the sugar filled ketchup that was doing it to me. Now I eat

I have had this discussion so many times. I am pretty sure he means "refined" fructose. I.e. fructose that is removed from it's natural state and put into concentrated form. This is basically crystaline sugar and high fructos

Even if she doesn't this is still a very interesting read. Many of her anecdotes have been seen and confirmed by so many different people that they are undoubtedly true. And considering these are true, they are very unusual and interes

Nobody has ever done any great writing while stoned. Even Hunter S. Thompson, one of the most pro-drug writers ever, said that pot is the only drug that prevents him from doing any good work. And no, people should not try LSD. LSD leads to

You still do not have it right. Saudi arabia will not be head of the human rights council. They will be head of one of the panels within the human rights council. Their bid to head the entire human rights council failed. It is still a very

There is no UN Human Rights Commission. That was disbanded back in 2006. There is a UN human rights council. The current president of the UN human rights council is a German named Joachim Rücker.

You do not know how many deaths there have been or will be from Fukushima. Every government always under-reports deaths from nuclear exposure. Saying it is the safest energy technology in existence is a dangerous lie. Solar is safer. Wind i

I should point out that this post shaming the Conde Nast CFO followed about three raving angry posts against reddit that were submitted on the same day. Reddit of course is owned by Conde Nast. Considering that gawker usually has no more th

This is interesting. I want to try CBT myself. I am not prone to violence (thank god) but I do have some bad habits I want to get rid of, such as procrastination.

Well, this kind of looks like an egregious violation of company policy. It looks like she punished an employee for giving an interview to a famous minority politician. There has to be some company policy against retaliation on political bas

Memristors are turning into yet another falso hope from HP. They never created a product that is as good as flash, nevermind this newfangled nanotube memory.

I think a lot of these suicides are not actual suicides, but accidents resulting from exhaustion. I used to have a job where I pulled all nighters and worked 48 hours straight some times, and let me tell ya the exhaustion sometimes makes yo

Those plastic targets are really tacky. I will wait until the alliance for wireless power comes up with their devices. The latter is a little more advanced. It uses magnetic resonance, so the target device can be at a small distance from th

I would like to congratulate curbed.com for finding a new level of annoyingness in ads. They have a sound ad that does not have a corresponding video window (at least i could not find any) where you can kill the sound or pause the whole thi

I don't think so. If it is something unauthorized they probably would have removed it in due time. I.e., they would have taken a couple of days to hire professionals to do it. Now they immediately cover it up so that no-one can see it

There is really interesting yet somehow disturbing trend that a lot of these foreign scams use a westerner to provide a feel of honesty and legitimacy. I read a story before that during the massacre of Rwanda the dominant faction hired a Be

You own the disk, but you do not own the music on it. The disk comes with a license to play the music only in a certain manner. If you do something that is not allowed by the license, you are not covered by the license and therefore you are

It is completely unacceptable that this treaty is being written and negotiated in total secrecy. Its even more unacceptable that the thing is supposed to be secret even after it goes into force. This treaty will have a power of law and you

He said that we need 100 000 new homes to have an impact equivalent to a $75 000 down-payment grant. He said the 30 000 homes would also have an impact but not as great.
