Comment Re:If you want a Diet avoid Diet food. (Score 1) 294

" Non-sugar Carbs, via calories, are why we are fat"
problem solved, thank /. poster!

Protip: It's more complicated than that.

"The idea fat people are hooked on sweets is BS."
no, it isn't. IN fact sugar can trigger a Dopamine release. In some people as much as some recreational drugs do.
  So people can be hooked on sweets.

"They are hooked on higher-calorie, denser-calorie fatty foods."
that can ALSO be true.

"I just read an asinine study the other day that incorrectly associated sweeter foods with. higher calorie intake"
that can very well be true. I don't know what study you are talking about, so I don't know the specific item they where talking about.

" But the more significant concern is that HFCS laden foods and drinks cause one to crave more since the HFCS interferes with the "I've had enough" mechanisms that normally govern food/drink intake. "
False

"And another concern that bears repeating is that HFCS puts an increased burden on the liver and the blood glucose homeostatic mechanisms that are adapted to handling normal table sugars."

Nope.

" my personal concern is that HFCS on the label is a marker I can use to avoid foods and drinks that predispose me to exercise induced asthma problems."
Does it? or is it a bias?

How can open source software die? the source is there! Anyone interested in the software has had ample time to get the source.

This, right here. Even if it goes stagnant for years? If you can get (or already have) the source, you can resurrect it.

By contrast, if you wanted to resurrect, say, WinCE? Well, good luck with that.
