In addition to stimulating CCK, Whey protein reduces hunger by lowering circulating levels of the hunger hormone ghrelin. A recent Australian study found that a Whey protein drink produced a prolonged suppression of ghrelin compared to glucose and fructose beverages. Whey also causes fullness by activ...
Thanks for the article – this is a subject that is near and dear to my heart as I have spent hours, days, weeks, months in research trying to combat my husbands Type 2 and bring his glucose levels to normal with minimal medication. A point I would like to make – The Netherlands st...
While glucose is a necessary fuel, fructose is a tasty reward that fruits evolved to deliver so that animals would eat them and spread their seeds around through defecation. Moreover, too much fructose can lead to bacterial overgrowth in the gut, causing malabsorption and other digestive problems...
Real Honey Crystallizes When your honey crystallizes, it means that you’ve chosen a real, natural honey product likeNate’s raw & unfiltered honey. Crystallization occurs because of the natural qualities inside. The natural sugars in honey (glucose and fructose) will bind together and begin to ...
And that’s why the mixtures of carbs that provide both glucose and fructose are safer than fuel sources that are just one or the other. But don’t fear, 60g per hour should be more than adequate for you. In fact, 40g for marathon intensity will probably suffice, and that means you ...
Interestingly, women who consumed a lot of fruit juice--which is high in natural fructose--were not at increased risk of diabetes. This fact leaded researchers to suppose that naturally occurring sugars may have different metabolic effects than added sugars. It is quite possible that vitamins, mi...
High fructose corn syrup is corn syrup (100% glucose) that has been partially converted to fructose (42-55%). It is used in place of white granulated sugar which is 50/50 glucose/fructose. Nothing to do with fooling anyone, just a different product. BTW, not suggesting any sugar is ...
Is Too Much Natural Sugar Bad? Let’s look at fruit or fruit juice. And just because the fruit is not candy or a sugar-sweetened beverage, doesn’t mean it’s not glucose or fructose once broken down. Yeah, there’s some fiber in there. And additional vitamins. So, then save it as...
Just because many fruits are loaded with vitamin C, potassium, fiber and many natural anti-oxidant doesn't mean that the fructose in them is less toxic. A few pieces of fruit per day shouldn't be a problem at all, but over-doing it could be the reason why so many fail to lose the...
Sugar sweetened beverages like soda, some sports drinks, and fruit drinks either contain sweeteners likesucrose(which is table sugar),glucoseandfructose(which is sugar mainly found in fruits and honey). Or fruit juice concentrates that are added to the beverage by manufacturers. ...
