If sugar is so bad for us. Why the hell is it so good?

11 min later 5989749 Anonymous
It was good for us back when there wasn't any agriculture or animal domestication. Minerals and vitamins aplenty in a standard foraging diet, but fat and sugar can only be found in prize fruit and hunted animals. Salt tastes good because it's a preservative.

It's good for you, it gives you a boost in energy. The problem is not the thing in itself, it is how we take it. It's good because it's rare and powerful. However, today, it is common. So common that we have to watch ourselves not to take it so much. Remember: the dose makes the poison.

It was good for the thousands of years when we collected fruits so we knew fruit was good. Today, your average whatever has more sugar than all the daily needed fruit, we currently live with sugar overdose.

It's not bad .. It's TOO much of anything that is bad for you .. Goes for water, oxygen and every possible substance known and unknown ..

>>5989787 Thank you, but I'm swiss, so there is no need for me to be a specialist in Chem to know that quote. But you must admit that writting a single paragraph, with a single sentence : Remember ("Tadaaaam") : the dose makes the poison. sounds really like a bad-ass advice extracted from a gangster movie That wasn't an attack, why /sci/ is always so aggressive ? It's just that the full original quote "Alle Dinge sind Gift, und nichts ohne Gift; allein die Dosis macht das ein Ding kein Gift ist." is less sexy...

Sugar is metabolized by insulin. For some reason, if you put too much sugar into your body, it stops producing insulin. Now you have a bunch of sugar floating around your blood stream. It tastes good because your body knows of only one criteria in regards to food quality; energy content. Your body rewards you with dopamine when you supply it with energy, and so you seek out the most energy dense foods to obtain the greatest dopamine reward.

>>5990041 but how do you explain (maybe I'm an exception) that the more I grow up, the less I like sugar ? I'm more and more into bit. At the end of lunch/dinner, I prefer cheese than dessert. And I can't even eat more than one or two candies (when I'm forced), it almost makes me vomit (no kidding, really to sweet mor my mouth/tongue) A-Am I sick ;_; ?

>>5990041 >Sugar is metabolized by insulin No, insulin makes cells take up glucose. >, if you put too much sugar into your body, it stops producing insulin. No, it stops being sensitive to normal levels of insulin, thus uptake of glucose from blood is impaired.

because human is the richest ever in terms of food production, the poor is poor thanks to uneven distribution. Thanks to evolution, our body is perfect for the poor instead of the rich but the age of poor is gone. We cant defend ourselves against the obsession of sugar, salt and food.

The better question OP is why the body prefers to burn muscle rather than fat when doing so would logically lower one's ability to procure food.

23 hours later 5991712 Anonymous
>>5991705 muscle mass adapts to your needs. however you are able to procure the food, never waste on things that weren't required. we are not so primitive to make an association between required food and muscle mass.
