I doubt there has been much research on the matter because there are many other factors that also contribute to diabetes... many of them being more significant. I still feel that HFCS is a contributor simply based on the biochemistry. With an insulin spike and a molecule that can bipass PFK (the regulator of glycolysis) it certainly lends itself to be a contributor to diabetes.

I have a five year old and I'm concerned about calcium. He doesn't like milk, and all the yougurt's are laden with HFCS and cheese is so high in fat and salt, so I'm looking for suggestions.<BR/><BR/>What's your take on the whole grain breads and pastas on the shelves these days? I know the "wheat" products are mostly scams, but these are labeled "100% Whole Grain" and list whole grain wheat flour as the main ingredient.Johnnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15408843278116235923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2062044641165131850.post-55828339437574008752007-03-01T20:04:00.000-07:002007-03-01T20:04:00.000-07:00OK, this has nothing to do with nutrition, but it'...OK, this has nothing to do with nutrition, but it's a pretty neat fact that Sans' kid can say "phosphofructokinase" - and he's only 3!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2062044641165131850.post-19030163355149185772007-03-01T17:14:00.000-07:002007-03-01T17:14:00.000-07:00Another great post, also thanks for answering my q...Another great post, also thanks for answering my questions from last time. Two questions:<BR/><BR/>1) On some days I'll have some sort of cardio workout at lunch time. On these days, I'm not hungry at all for lunch when I get back to the office. A few hours later I'll be ravenous, but by then it's dinner time. However, if I don't go workout during lunch, and just hang around the office, I'm starving for lunch. Is it a psychological thing or is there some real connection between activity and lack of hunger (I assumed it would be the opposite).<BR/><BR/>2) What about drugs? Is Diet Coke the perfect beverage, or am I killing myself in some other way? I'm assuming alcohol is processed as just sugar, but am I better off drinking wine, hard liquor or beer?Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04205902320665392346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2062044641165131850.post-67219117568779716162007-03-01T14:08:00.000-07:002007-03-01T14:08:00.000-07:00So...

I prefer not - there are some seriously kick ass choco milk's (organic valley for example) that i'm pretty sure are HFCS free (and more expensive)...<BR/><BR/>Or get your plain (white) milk and dump some kick ass choco syrup (or make your own with cocoa powder and sucrose).<BR/><BR/>can't agree more with you about the HFCS and trans fat elimination.<BR/><BR/>I've been preaching for years and years and years... if it ain't natural occurring don't eat it... the one recommendation i have is never to eat a 'substitute' either eat the real thing (in moderation) or satiate your hunger with something else - some people (like greenhorn vegans) have a hard time not fueling a craving with fake cheese and fake hot dogs and fake sausage and on... and on... and on...<BR/><BR/>Keep this stuff up eh!<BR/><BR/>While ya on sports nutrition, how about the Baking Soda application to help buffer lactic acid build up???gewillihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17245908398787098575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2062044641165131850.post-21453223179789605982007-03-01T11:06:00.000-07:002007-03-01T11:06:00.000-07:00Norm, you're right, milk has a relatively low GI b...Norm, you're right, milk has a relatively low GI because lactose is a disaccharide made up of glucose and galactose (I think). Obviosly galactose won't raise blood glucose levels (which are what is measured in a GI test), but it still enters cells and is able to be stored as glycogen (as far as I know, I'm venturing a little here in uncharted waters). I also think there must be some glucose that is added to chocolate milk as a sweetener (or it could be HFCS, most of which would be stored (glucose), the rest of which would be metabolized by an active individual (fructose). Anyway, the elevated insulin levels would promote storage and the extra sugars will be readily stored. <BR/><BR/>We'll see about a Maltodextrin post, frankly I don't know much about it and it would take a little research. I'll put it on the burner for when I have a little more time.Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12970191392795369846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2062044641165131850.post-28068161474059885032007-03-01T10:35:00.000-07:002007-03-01T10:35:00.000-07:00Interesting, thanks for the info on HFCS.

So it's good to have a little more to back up why one might do that.<BR/><BR/>On dairy, doesn't milk have a low GI and thus lend itself to not being the most efficient way to replenish one's glycogen?<BR/><BR/>On that thought, another good blog entry would be the best carbs to use in terms of emptying from the stomach, osmosality, and the like (during exercise). I've tried to find as much info as I can to back up the maltodextrin-as-a-perfect-bike-food that Hammer Nutrition puts forward, but several things remain unclear to me. They claim rapid absorption from the stomach, rapid replenishment, and yet go on to suggest it's a complex carb that burns long and slow. I remain perplexed about maltodextrin.Normhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13600050957984793451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2062044641165131850.post-57037385013186081232007-03-01T10:02:00.000-07:002007-03-01T10:02:00.000-07:00I love these nutrition articles.
