  • Are you kidding me? You're fine with people using recreational drugs and don't want moral choices regulated, but want what people can eat? What the fuck is Stef trying to say here, because I'm seriously confused. It's nice you're educating people about fructose's effects, but regulation? What the fuck twisted logic is that?

  • duuude, it's not my article, I'm just reading it - perhaps try cutting down on the sugar a little? ;)

    Well we all see the tragic Irony in the article itself don't we? Government subsidies are the reason fructose is so prevalent. It's hard to find food that doesn't have some fructose in it. Yet here this guy is implying we're all clinically addicted to it, and must be forced to stop consuming it as if we had any choice to begin with. I'm pretty sure all that needs to happen is for the corn subsidies to end.

  • Sugar addiction is due to chronic neurotransmitter deficiencies. The solution is a 100% pure amino acids supplement (i.e. no fillers, no additives, no sugar/stevia, and manufactured at very low heat). Such a product is called AMINOKIT Recovery Formula and can end sugar cravings in 24 hours. The above product has been used in drug rehab centers for 15 years to end cravings for not only refined sugar but cocaine, heroin, alcohol, and other drugs. Avoid sugar and achieve fast, healthy weight loss.

  • @roysensei Like Stefbot said, he was just reading it but to a larger point...we have to work with the system we have. Regulations are the only tools that we have at this point other than education but you see how great that works in America.

  • I have had gout for years, and tried just about everything without success.I reduced meat to, minimum once

    a week, stopped alcohol altogether.I was having LOTS of fruit and vegetables and my gout was worsening.

    Finally I have read something about Excessive fructose increasing uric acid.I experimented reducing my fruit

    intake to 2 a day, and bingo within days I saw a dramatic improvement

    No, believe it or not, it's being read by Stefan Molyneux (stefbot). he just has a very computer like voice.

    "I'm pretty sure all that needs to happen is for the corn subsidies to end."

    It would also help to end the high sugar tariffs.

  • @Fetchdafish the second that you start believing you have no choice is the exact same second you gave away any possible choice you might have had; responsibility is a blessing, not a burden...

  • this be red by a computa, aaaaight?
