Number 14 Fructose and Soy Engineers

from Health Topics by Kelly Gregg MD · host Kelly Gregg

We eat a lot of fructose compared to man's diet in most of history.  I estimate at least three times as much over a year's time.  Certainly when fruit was ripe, man ate a lot of it.  These were valuable sweet calories to be used for energy and perhaps store as fat.  Now we can eat fruit three times a day, every day of the year.  Government guidelines actually advise you to eat a lot of fruit.  Sucrose is half fructose, and we eat a lot of that.  High fructose core syrup is about half fructose, and we eat a lot of that.  We just eat a lot of fructose. We also have a lot of obesity, diabetes, autoimmune disease, arthritis, and dementia.  Believe it or not, there is a relationship.  After reading about fructose, you may change your diet a little. Same with Soy.  Hardly any used in the US u to about 100 years ago.  About when we started the obesity epidemic.  If the only thing it caused was obesity, we could handle that.  That is not the only thing is causes.
