Ray Peat on Fructose

Ray Peat, a brilliant researcher, has been led to believe that fructose and sucrose, which is 50% fructose, are advantageous over starch and glucose due to the fact that they do not cause insulin to rise as high as well as other properties. 180degreehealth tends to disagree, mostly because of fructose's impact, or lack thereof, on the hormone leptin.

Ray Peat is the brilliantest guy ever on the diet scene. His diet healed me from my problems and it works much better than low carb or high starch.

@edwardjedmonds Do you live in the Germany I live? Germany has the biggest problem with obesity in the whole europe!

But you´re right - it´s not the soda. German people like whole grain very much and of course many of toxic oils.

But all fruits contain fructose and glucose. If you want only fructose you have to eat HFCS.

@spellititti have you read Linus Paulins book with Judkins research - slightly alarming as sucrose intake goes up CVD goes up and when it goes down CVD goes down - and when you look at the numbers its almost like as you cross a certain invisible line - the risk factos start multiplying exponentially... Very interesting

Ray Peat said he had a friend run out and get him "huge milkshakes" every hour to help him keep his energy up during a long radio interview session until 1 AM. Later, he slept well that night - which caused him to consider the value of sugar in his diet.

For some reason the words, “huge milkshakes” makes me laugh every time I think of how he said it.

To the uploader, Gotta say, Ray Peat is way more convincing than you. The points you bring up seem pretty basic, I find your belief that Ray Peat has "overlooked" such simple ideas.... well not likely. Not saying that Ray Peat has everything right, but I am surprised that you find yourself more informed than him.

@edwardjedmonds they use real sugar in Coke in Europe. In the US, it's high fructose corn syrup, and they are not the same.

This is all ridiculous, looking at a food in terms of one of it's components alone. According to "medical literature"  yeah that's always so reliable. The guy making this video acts like he was there in the lab for every experiment ever done on sucrose. He's just parroting what he's read, his confidence is misplaced. To look at the benefits of a potato based on one thing only is insane. People are making this so hard and so counterintuitive and so dry. Learn what's right for your own body!

@TheCrosswind You should eat starch after bodybuilding. Starch highers insulin much more than fruits and sugar.
