How to really MAHA

[TimHauck 2,856]

It’s not banning food dyes or frying French fries in beef tallow.

It’s getting Americans to exercise more.

What are some suggestion on how we do that?

[TimHauck 2,856]

It’s also not drinking Coca-cola with cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup

This isn't necessarily true. 

Energy deficit is foundational, but it's not ALL you need to know to lose weight.

I thought this going to be about trump making America hate again

It kinda is

[TimHauck 2,856]

But yes, your food choices can impact how that calories in vs calories out occurs

It has been a while since our nation has been unified. Trump has definitely exacerbated the split

JHC.  He's literally tagged me 2, 3 and even 4 times IN THE SAME POST.  I probably got about 6000 tags from him over the last week or two.

Not in this thread.  Thanks for your contribution.

And thanks for confirming tagging you annoys you, @EternalShinyAndChrome.

Whoops, I guess now I tagged you in this thread.  Carry on with your whining.

I’m not sure if RFK knows it.  He seems more focused on food dyes

He didn't ask the stupid questions. You did.

I forget which thread it was where @jerryskids was saying HFCS was significantly worse than sugar and repeatedly said to “google why is HFCS bad” and never compared it to sugar lol

Obama and the Democrats did that, not Trump.

I recently learned that insulin resistance is our body's way of "holding on to" water and salt.  Said another way, if you aren't ingesting enough salt and water, our body will endeavor to keep what it has.  When our cells are resistant to insulin, many things are triggered....

A good article from Breitbart Business on how HFCS came to replace sugar in the 1980s...

But nutritionally there is very little difference between HFCS and sugar

"Nutritionally", this is true... long term, sugar is better.  HFCS has a bigger negative impact on your metabolism, liver, and gut health.  Neither are particularly good for you, but considering that the majority of people consuming them aren't doing it in true moderation, they're definitely better off, with cane sugar.

Link?  The only study I’ve seen showing HFCS as significantly worse than sugar in any metric was in a “marker for inflammation,” but no difference in all other metrics.

School and endocrinologists I talk to. 

This is NOT and good vs bad situation, it's a really bad vs just as bad, but slightly worse  situation.  Every nutritionist and endocrinologist will tell you to avoid both, but if you don't and have a choice, choose sugar cane.

Both will do the same thing to your body, but the risks are greater with corn syrup.  Also, your brain doesn't recognize corn syrup as an adequate nutrient.  When that happens, your body doesn't register it as satiating and you're more likely to keep eating/drinking.  This is why the risks are higher.

Again, people should avoid both.  There's no winner.  In a way, it's like a football team losing 14-0 or 17-0.  No one wants either, but you're better off losing 14-0.  Like you noted, the difference isn't great, but one is worse.  Why choose that one?
