There are many opinions about nutrition. Mike and Alan Aragon have one about Dr. Robert Lustig's presentation on the dangers of high fructose consumption. I agree that Fructose is not bad, consumption of large amounts of fructose are bad and I think Lustig has to be over the top to counteract all the programming we receive from marketing messages that encourage us to over consume. Look at the evidence - watch Lusitg's 90 min video, read Mike and Alan Aragon's opinions, watch this and read the blog post on GettheSkinney.com entitled Fructose - Good or Evil? I will embed this in that post.
The USDA's figures on changing caloric intake from '70 to '07, (Aragon's main piece of evidence), are obviously skewed. The USDA's main purpose is to help the food industry sell food, not to improve the health of consumers. Anyone who believes their claim that added sugars have gone DOWN 1% from '70 to '07 isn't paying attention. How Aragon can be so skeptical & analytical, yet so trusting of this biased organization's info, is suspicious, at best.
