Anti-GMO activists are the ones practicing “tobacco science”. HuckleB Apr 2016 #245

The tobacco guys had evidence. Epidemiological. immoderate Apr 2016 #336

So you have nothing but fictions to offer? HuckleB Apr 2016 #337

I'm pointing to what your source said. I make up nothing. immoderate Apr 2016 #345

In other words, evidence is meaningless to you. HuckleB Apr 2016 #347

Meaningless evidence is, indeed, meaningless to me. immoderate Apr 2016 #353

Thanks. Fixed it. Copy/Cut/Paste error. n/t TalkingDog Apr 2016 #7

I'm not familiar with this debate. Why the focus on fructose in HFCS? Buzz Clik Apr 2016 #4

I think because HFCS is in EVERYTHING. TalkingDog Apr 2016 #6

I see. It's not a comparison to glucose. Buzz Clik Apr 2016 #8

Indeed. Sugars weren't compared, the N is too small, & the study itself is at odds with the article. HuckleB Apr 2016 #10

Yep, just more click bait intended for the consumption of those who have no idea what sugar is Major Nikon Apr 2016 #12

But, but them durned "SKEPTICS"* are WRONG! Dang nabbit! HuckleB Apr 2016 #13

Princeton Univefrsity is "click bait"? puffy socks Apr 2016 #277

So, you have no idea what to say when you're propaganda is debunked. HuckleB Apr 2016 #326

You havent debunked it. nt puffy socks Apr 2016 #328

I did. Your denial doesn't change that. HuckleB Apr 2016 #330

Always spend time exploring before posting things that confirm your preconceptions. HuckleB Apr 2016 #320

I see, only your sources are the correct ones. puffy socks Apr 2016 #327

I see you can't accept that the study was clearly debunked. HuckleB Apr 2016 #329

surely you admit glyphosate has some toxicity to people? Fast Walker 52 Apr 2016 #62

For perspective. HuckleB Apr 2016 #66

Of course, but that level is so low as to be practically irrelevant from a product safety... Humanist_Activist Apr 2016 #103

Wondering why HFCS and Sucrose were not tested....... yellowcanine Apr 2016 #18

Because that was what they were studying. And Anti HFCS Woo mongers are misinterpreting. Thor_MN Apr 2016 #80

In sucrose fructose and glucose are chemically combined as one molecule. yellowcanine Apr 2016 #99

When sucrose dissolves, the fructose and glucose separate. They are the same. Thor_MN Apr 2016 #102

Not really - needs to undergo hydrolysis, a chemical reaction. yellowcanine Apr 2016 #104

Did you read what you posted? Thor_MN Apr 2016 #105

Yep, it is a chemical reaction. And you mistated what I said about metabolism. yellowcanine Apr 2016 #106

See ya. Thor_MN Apr 2016 #111

For that matter, what about grapes and grape juice? D Gary Grady May 2016 #404

Sucrose is not a "mixture". It is a disaccharide with one glucose and one fructose molecule n/t eridani Apr 2016 #131

True, and that weak bond is broken virtually immediately by a weak acid Major Nikon Apr 2016 #135

So why did our digestive tracts ever evolve sucrases? eridani Apr 2016 #202

Because your body needs enzymes to digest all carbohydrates Major Nikon Apr 2016 #216

OK--then stomach acidity is irrelevant. Glad we agree n/t eridani Apr 2016 #296

I agree to no such nonsense Major Nikon Apr 2016 #298

I discovered a third form of carbonic anhydrase, so I know what an enzyme is eridani Apr 2016 #299

Well you certainly failed to demonstrate that knowledge Major Nikon Apr 2016 #300

You need digestive enzymes. That's mostly what breaks down sucrose into eridani Apr 2016 #301

Wrong Major Nikon Apr 2016 #303

That is bullshit. The enzyme catalazed rate is 1000X the uncatalyzed rate eridani Apr 2016 #361

I am aware of the chemical structure of sucrose. Thor_MN Apr 2016 #153

It does NOT mean a molecule. Salad dressing is a mixture. Sucrose is not n/t eridani Apr 2016 #201

I have a BA in chemistry. I am well aware of the technical differences. Thor_MN Apr 2016 #217

If acidity alone does the trick, why do we have sucrases? n/t eridani Apr 2016 #297

You think there is only one way to skin a cat? Thor_MN Apr 2016 #304

I don't just think, I KNOW that catalyzed reactions are thousands of times faster than eridani Apr 2016 #362

And,,, You've admited uncatalyzed reactions exist, destroying your line of... Thor_MN Apr 2016 #365

If uncatalized rates were fast enough, there would be no sucrase or invertase n/t eridani Apr 2016 #372

I see logic is not your strong suit either. Thor_MN Apr 2016 #373

I'd like people to quit talking about acidic hydrolysis as if it were meaningful eridani Apr 2016 #377

Get over it. The fact that there are enzymes in no way invalidates other mechanisms. Thor_MN Apr 2016 #378

Food doesn't sit around for months in your digestive tract eridani Apr 2016 #379

Wow. Have fun with your beliefs, you are out there on your own island. Thor_MN Apr 2016 #380

If acid were enough, sucrase and invertase would not exist, period n/t eridani May 2016 #383

Back to the "There can be only one" nonsense, with absolutely nothing to back it up... Thor_MN May 2016 #384

Let sucrose sit around long enough in acid and it will eventually hydrolyze eridani May 2016 #387

We don't have invertase in our guts, unless we add it to our food. Thor_MN May 2016 #388

WE've got sucrase n/t eridani May 2016 #389

Yes, we do. Which still means nothing, as you have no point. Thor_MN May 2016 #390

Acid hydrolysis takes place over time in bottles eridani May 2016 #391

Bargle, garble same old crap. Thor_MN May 2016 #393

Working and being significant are two different things. eridani May 2016 #394

Which skeptics? Your link doesn't compare different sugars. N/t Humanist_Activist Apr 2016 #20

Not sure where those replies are headed, exactly. villager Apr 2016 #61

We are talking about scientific issues, not political or economic... Humanist_Activist Apr 2016 #74

You seem to think the political and economic is entirely divorced from the scientific. villager Apr 2016 #113

The scientific should be used to inform policies, but aren't policies themselves.... Humanist_Activist Apr 2016 #204

Alas in 1986 when I took a college class nadinbrzezinski Apr 2016 #223

Except you appear to want to simply make things up and pretend science will support them. HuckleB Apr 2016 #225

Again, those studies refer to fructose. HuckleB Apr 2016 #227

You have already pushed misinformation about the topic, so your claim is rather misleading. HuckleB Apr 2016 #247

Not off-topic at all. The sub-thread topic was "who is skepticism reserved for?" villager Apr 2016 #149

The addition of the attack on skeptics was without warrant. HuckleB Apr 2016 #151

No -- it was furthering what was stated in the OP, actually. villager Apr 2016 #155

Thanks for the confirmation. HuckleB Apr 2016 #156

" Anyone can call themselves a skeptic." Thanks for the confirmation! villager Apr 2016 #157

I'm glad you liked the Cervantes piece. HuckleB Apr 2016 #210

Well, the OP claims that the fructose in HFCS is "different" from other fructose Scootaloo Apr 2016 #231

Exactly. So little "skepticism" applied to corporate PR spin.... villager Apr 2016 #233

The only spin here comes from conspiracy theory, anti-science silliness. HuckleB Apr 2016 #270

Just FYI. HuckleB Apr 2016 #295

Does the OP not use "skeptics" as a pejorative for those who actually understand science? Thor_MN Apr 2016 #306

It was a riposte to those self-anointed "skeptics" who sought to keep the term to themselves villager Apr 2016 #310

Indeed, and, as it turned out, in a rather ironic manner. HuckleB Apr 2016 #311

It does explain where you are coming from... HuckleB Apr 2016 #312

Well, we disagree, though in a non-incendiary manner, at least. villager Apr 2016 #313

Other countries don't use high-fructose corn syrup in their product. procon Apr 2016 #28

You are really projecting womanofthehills Apr 2016 #121

Do you have anything constructive to contribute or are you just here to insult? Thor_MN Apr 2016 #154

Well it's in the headline of this study womanofthehills Apr 2016 #120

No, it is not, you are 100% wrong. Please try reading it again. Thor_MN Apr 2016 #158

fructose has long been known to be toxic, this isn't really new. ALSO, most sugar has fructose Fast Walker 52 Apr 2016 #35

Of course our bodies don't metabolize fructose and glucose in the same way. TexasProgresive Apr 2016 #37

A little correction... GaYellowDawg Apr 2016 #72

You were consuming up to 60 cubes of sugar a day. Thor_MN Apr 2016 #85

Maybe, if so why do they feed the Wistar fatty rats fructose to elevate TGs? TexasProgresive Apr 2016 #91

Because fructose is processed in the liver and used to create TGs. Thor_MN Apr 2016 #93

I did not test out of normal until after the switch to HFCS. TexasProgresive Apr 2016 #132

Did you not age before the switch to HFCS? Thor_MN Apr 2016 #150

I guess you have to be right TexasProgresive Apr 2016 #165

The studies were about the hormone leptin, which signals the feeling of satiety. BuddhaGirl Apr 2016 #139

It's related to fructose, which is in table sugar at the same basic amount as HFCS. HuckleB Apr 2016 #142

Then don't pay any attention to it BuddhaGirl Apr 2016 #146
