#SugarShowdown
Scientists discussed findings and health implications of sugar, HFCS, and fructose at #eb2012. Here are selected tweets from folks using the #sugarshowdown hashtag.
Next up at #EB2012: Lustig, White, Rippe, Kris-Etherton, Bray #sugarshowdown #fructose #gonnabefireworks- #EB2012 Here's a little background on #sugarshowdown evolvinghealthscience.blogspot.com/2012/04/no-dr-…
- Lustig's title slide (already provocative) "Fructose: alcohol without the 'buzz'" #sugarshowdown #EB2012
Added sugars intake has been decreasing since 1999 based on NHANES data -J White #EB2012 #sugarshowdown- Intake of sugar sweetened beverages have been declining for 13 yrs -J White #sugarshowdown #EB2012
- fructose-only protocols don't model human experience with respect to dose & ratio to glucose -J White #EB2012 #sugarshowdown
- J White: support for fructose as a metabolic threat at current levels of intake is weak #EB2012 #sugarshowdown
- Calorie compensation less with liquid than solid foods -G Bray #EB2012 #sugarshowdown
- #EB2012 Bray: Sugar-sweetened beverages provide add-on calories, produce incomplete caloric compensation. #dontdrinkcalories #sugarshowdown
- Bray: sharing data on visceral fat from jci.org/articles/view/… #eb2012 #sugarshowdown getting interesting
- Last study shared by Bray ajcn.org/content/95/2/2… #eb2012 #sugarshowdown Sucrose-swetened bevs increase ectopic fat
- Next up: R Lustig he declares this session the sugar smack down #EB2012 #sugarshowdown
- Lustig talking really fast: entire metab lecture to show fructose closer to ethanol than glucose in few mins #eb2012 #sugarshowdown
- Lustig: Where do you get ethanol from? Fermented fructose. #beerbelly #sodabelly not far apart #EB2012 #sugarshowdown
- Lustig: "Fructose is 7 times more likely" than glucose to form AGEs? #EB2012 #sugarshowdown
- Lustig presents ROS hypothesis 4 how fructose causes metabolic syndrome #EB2012 #sugarshowdown
- I'm pretty sure my body cells can't tell the difference between "added sugar" and other sugars #EB2012 #sugarshowdown #justsayin
- Cardiologist James Rippe to round out debate: Says this is emotional issue, "Perfect Storm" for mistaken identity. #EB2012 #sugarshowdown
