Document Summary

1)too much at once (modern diet ~10% fructose) (cid:272)a(cid:374)"t (cid:271)e (cid:396)egulated like glucose (insulin) so is processed in liver and if too much, makes fats: fat i(cid:374) (cid:271)lood = hea(cid:396)t disease (cid:396)isk. 2)bypasses appetite signaling system: no (cid:862)filled up(cid:863) sig(cid:374)al . 4) promotes ages (advanced glycation end products) Ages: can go to eye and cause cataracts (sugar cataracts, when older, bg rises up more and needs longer to process = ages . West indes grew sugar canes (needs 21 c to grow) ~15% sucrose. Slave trade (western africa) grind in windmill then heat. Norbert rillieux got us patent for latent heat of water to lower heat of water dangerous to work in sugar cane mills. Beet sugar (cold climate ie russia), in freshly squeezed oj: more production of sugar and also more consumption. Top = brazil, then india and then e. u (european union) Brazil = 61kg/person/yr; cuba = top consumption 80kg/person/yr: world consumption 2010-2011 (1tsp = 4g)
