So Dr Robert Lustig who was on RN’s The Health Report and has at least one Youtube video is talking nonsense?

Unlike glucose, fructose doesn’t trigger two key satiating hormones. “The digestion, absorption, and metabolism of fructose differ from those of glucose,” researchers in a review published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition wrote. “[U]nlike glucose, fructose does not stimulate insulin secretion or enhance leptin production. Because insulin and leptin act as key afferent signals in the regulation of food intake and body weight [to control appetite], this suggests that dietary fructose may contribute to increased energy intake and weight gain.” George A Bray, Samara Joy Nielsen, and Barry M Popki – Consumption of high-fructose corn syrup in beverages may play a role in the epidemic of obesity1,2 – Am J Clin Nutr April 2004 vol. 79 no. 4 537-543

Dietary cholesterol has very little affect on blood cholesterol (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19852882). So would enjoy the eggs and butter. But gluten is a major trouble maker causing 55 major diseases (Farrell RJ, Kelly CP. Celiac sprue. N Engl J Med. 2002 Jan 17;346(3):180-8. Review.) So I’d be ditching the bread!

Enrico, your statement makes no sense. When you say “having 2 eggs for breakfast cooked with a tea spoon of butter every day one slice of whole grain bread toasted butter thinly spread have a negative affect on cholesterol level”, it begs the question: compared to what? Regards, Bill

Stella, these days taking an on-line drubbing is a badge of honour. Regards, Bill

I recently took an on-line drubbing for making the outrageous claims that there is fructose in fruit and that the very word fruct-ose means “fruit sugar”. Apparently, fructose is only synthesized from corn, GMO, no doubt. I suspect that not everyone was paying attention in 9th grade life sciences the way that I did. Thanks Mrs. Post, for leading me astray!
