I won’t dwell heavily on this since I’ve done it any number of times in the past, but futurepundit has a pretty good piece talking about new research that further implicates fructose in the obesity and diabetes epidemics we’re undergoing in western cultures and the US particularly. The one bummer outcome of the research from my perspective is they also tied increased uric acid levels to the problem, and the high protein diet I eat increases my uric acid levels. I just can’t win, by the time I’m 60 I will be eating a diet that consists of green peppers, hearts of celery, and 4 slivers of almond a day.
