DIABETES DEBACLE
Nicole, a diabetes expert, and Vinnie went through the twitter "shit-storm" together
The two wanted to find out why people were upset and quell everyone's fears
They had literally just recorded a podcast touching on the differences between Type 1 and Type 2
So, Vinnie brought on some people who were prior upset with Vinnie because they are affected by Type 1 diabetes, but with Vinnie they brought awareness on this show
SUGAR IN FRUIT AND IN FRUIT JUICE
Your body does not know the difference between fructose from an apple or high fructose corn syrup
If you are gonna eat fruit, eat it in the whole form
This is better because limits the amount of fructose
Fructose is metabolized in the liver, if you have big doses of fructose, it can hurt your triglycerides, cause liver disease and diabetes
When you eat high levels of fructose, you do not feel full because fructose does not raise insulin levels, which is what makes you feel full
Fenfen - was given to overweight people
Sped up metabolism and made your brain feel full
Drug was taking place of what we can make our bodies do anyway
When it was taken off the market, really hard for many people
Apple juice- one of the highest fructose things
Coke would be better because it has glucose which is better for your liver
8oz of apple juice in a 16oz bottle
So so bad for you
2:1 fructose:glucose
58g of sugar, no fiber
Naked juice is not healthy -- it is straight fructose!!!
10 cups of carrots, many apples, tons of raspberries, etc etc
You overeat this fruit but don't even notice because of how it is presented!
Green juice -- it is cold pressed
first ingredient is apple juice then pineapple juice, cucumber juice, spinach juice, romaine lettuce juice, swiss chard juice, lemon juice, kale juice
35g of sugar -- the fact that it is green makes no difference
To get that much sugar from raw spinach, you would have to eat ~350 cups of raw spinach, OR 97 cups of swiss chard
