But not sugar in chocolate, sweets, fruit or what we add to coffee. The fact that food that isn't obvious has added sugar for no apparent reason is one problem. Bacon, Salami, roast chicken, tomato puree, low fat food alternatives and pretty much everything else. So it is hard to escape. The other problem is Fructose Syrup made from corn. Nothing to do with fructose as in fruit sugar. It is a chemically made product that causes problems to our liver. HFC is not natural and neither is HFC made from apple juice, hidden on labels as fruit juice concentrate. But is is creeping into lots of foods because it is cheap. <br />So no, sugar isn't the problem. We are all intelligent enough to know, we won't lose weight if we eat large amounts of sweets and chocolate. Hidden sugar in unexpected foods and the increase of HighFructoseCornsyrup instead of sugar is cause for concern.

..."Eat less; move more" <br /><br />Billy Connolly <br /><br />I reference Mr Connolly because I believe him to be at least as qualified as the pseuds you correctly criticize in your post. <br /><br />It looks as though fat people and the food industry will be key targets for self righteous sociopaths in 2014. <br /><br />I also predict that the BBC will remain obsessed with obesity and that reporting standards will continue to be inconsistent Ivan Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18364023294207490403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-59801113020264974572014-01-06T02:28:51.660+00:002014-01-06T02:28:51.660+00:00It's almost too easy to deconstruct all their ...It's almost too easy to deconstruct all their ridiculous, unfunded recommendations.<br />"processed food have hijacked our tastebuds, brain chemistry and metabolism" The term 'Processed food' is used as a buzz word. Nobody seems to question its meaning. Our digestive system is unsuited for larger volumes of unprocessed. i.e. raw, food. Processing food (which means cooking) not only enables the digestive system to extract nutrients, it is also a means to prevent food from rotting or to eliminate bacteria or toxic substances. <br />Can you think of a diet consisting of <b>raw</b> meat, potatoes, coli-flour, wheat (instead of bread), milk, asparagus.<br /><br />And yes, food has to be tasty, otherwise there is no incentive to eat it.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16821473060642204067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-34406585013523605632014-01-05T21:56:46.660+00:002014-01-05T21:56:46.660+00:00I have the impression that these people are trying...I have the impression that these people are trying to turn everyone into anorexics. <br /><br />But why?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-23956055921816448422014-01-05T17:35:32.448+00:002014-01-05T17:35:32.448+00:00Well fisked, Chris.

Are the press so desperate for content that they'll publish anything, regardless of whether or not it has any merit? This is so patently utter tosh that I can't understand how it got past the editorial team.<br /><br />Perhaps I'm just a dinosaur, harking back to the days when editors passed a critical eye over copy before it went to press.nisakimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563041282703559939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-12533174610678000912014-01-05T16:15:16.327+00:002014-01-05T16:15:16.327+00:00'Despite the growing list of diets — from Atki...<i>'Despite the growing list of diets — from Atkins and Caveman to the fasting or 5:2 diet — <b>none of them ever seems to work</b>...'</i><br /><br />...might come as something of a surprise to the Times journalists who devoted much of Saturday's magazine to 'How to get started and lose up to 12lb a month' on the 4:3, the updated version of the 5:2 diet.Macheathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04451439759398780345noreply@blogger.com
