I have a hand-crank geared juice press that does a pretty Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17033443643442246531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30206473.post-62044520786736049202010-09-26T12:39:31.841-04:002010-09-26T12:39:31.841-04:00Fruit juice has much more sucrose in it than fruct...Fruit juice has much more sucrose in it than fructose. You get maybe 3 g of fructose eating a whole fruit. Compare this with the 76 grams you may be getting in a 24 oz regular Pepsi. HFCS may contain up to 90% fructose.<br /><br />And of course you are getting tons more fructose from HFCS in soup, bread, salad dressing, and a dozen other foods you wouldn't expect to find it in.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17384082448952856117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30206473.post-6113735208481139922010-09-26T12:16:40.474-04:002010-09-26T12:16:40.474-04:00So if you were to replace all fructose with sucros...So if you were to replace all fructose with sucrose, that would be better?<br /><br />I can't imagine that drinking raw fruit juices is bad... just ask jack lalane or jay kordich!benn686https://www.blogger.com/profile/14415571820563632059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30206473.post-23172794114151447062009-09-20T03:23:12.156-04:002009-09-20T03:23:12.156-04:00Jenny,

That is NAFLD appears to be basically the same as AFLD.

I'm also not enthralled with the idea of quick fixes or protein powder shakes, either, even if they are "homemade" shakes and not an OTC just "add water" formula. I prefer real food an overall food philosophy. The multiple shakes per day part is only two weeks, though - 3 shakes a day (with varying amounts of protein powder in Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17033443643442246531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30206473.post-41626451256155414492009-09-18T20:40:37.371-04:002009-09-18T20:40:37.371-04:00Okay, those links came though broken.

Just a couple nights ago at a reception one of my husband's colleagues were talking about lovely Alpine Swiss butter and eventually the topic moved over to sugars. He said to me, "but fructose is the fruit sugar so it's ok, except when it's in soda". Arrrrgh. That's the sort of misguided claptrap I expect someone to hear at a parent/babyAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17033443643442246531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30206473.post-56516537975721890512009-09-18T14:57:08.707-04:002009-09-18T14:57:08.707-04:00Michael Eades new book "The 6 Week Cure...&qu...Michael Eades new book "The 6 Week Cure..." addresses liver fat and the relation with fructose consumption. I think he links the creation of visceral fat to the fatty liver as well.
