Your body runs on glucose and charlie says that glucose is bad for us.
You'd die if your body couldn't make glucose you berk. |

Go away, check your facts and then come back and apologise.

Shocking! How can that be allowed? Even the supposedly healthy nut and cereal bar snacks (marketed as such) have enormous level of sugar in them of as much as 50%. No wonder The UK has one of the highest level of obesity in the developed world.

Cereals are high in carbs which increase glucose levels.

Have you reported me yet Charlie?
Will I be getting another email from Betfair for winding you up again? |

By:
Drippin
I have never reported you or any one else. The last resort is saying winding you up. Fool. |

Other sugars and starch are converted to glucose which is the source of energy used by the body to perform all of its functions, mainly muscle movements. Too much of it is a problem because the body converts excess energy to fat reserves which can be mobilised if insufficient food is available in the future. That is the simple picture we all learn in biology but there are other things going on. Protein consists of amino acids which are used to build muscle and other tissue. Some are essential because the body can't synthesise them, others are not. Surplus protien is converted to energy (glucose) but it is not very efficient. Fat in the diet is either stored in fatty tissue or converted into glucose if required.

do not oppose those who are right
and will force you to behave well they think they are right just like they THOUGHT they were right about the bears but they were wrong |
|
By:
mind you - I couldn't drink any of those drinks
but a pint of PROPER JOB would go down well right now to blank out the noise from mex and charles |
|
By:
It's easy to have too much glucose, often through carbs such as bread, chips, and sugary drinks that's why the population is getting obese.
|
|
By:
for me it is about examining all angles in any debate which mex and charles are unable to do

Natural fat isn't a problem. You'll have to check what real fat is and isn't.

A bit of lard wont do you any harm it's far better to cook in than vegetable oil.

That's correct sageform, but not energy from carbs. |

Bollocks. You clearly haven't got a clue. |

By:
Charlie, All you're doing is shouting rubbish because you're out of your depth.
You know nothing about the subject and it shows. |

For you I recommend getting a big bowl of cereal for breakfast adding half a bag of sugar and a few slices of toast with marmalade. A cup of tea with four sugars and and a jam sandwich to follow. |
|
By:
The problem is people do not examine the detail.
|
|
By:
Drippin tell me where I'm wrong. Or will you continuous sniping but saying nothing?
|
|
By:
unfortunately all they can do is lash out -
|
|
By:
your body runs on oxygen, but its bad for you in excess....
|
|
By:
Drippin is clueless. Adds nothing to a discussion. Just snipes.
An open invitation to him to explain where I've been clueless in his opinion and why I'm wrong. Chances of him responding with something sensible are zero. |
|
By:
I see Charlie is trying to draw me so I might write something he can report me for.
|
|
By:
He's so obvious and as thick as two short planks if he thinks I'd fall for that.
He must have a mate working for Betfair after the way he got me banned before. |
|
By:
his sort are all about silencing any critique of their beliefs - a typical example of two idealogues
they are at it in germany right now trying to silence critics of the eu euro as it is bad news and they don't like it so want the questioners taking in !!! |

In the 80s, how were ppl consuming the sugar? Same as today? Energy drinks, colas, coffee, chocolates etc?
Lucozade, Pepsi, three spoonfuls minimum in your tea, Spangles ... much the same as today really. But, as 1st Time Poster says, along with all sorts of fruit, medicine, and basically just for the hell of it, because it tastes nice. I can remember it being a real treat eating out as a child in the Sixties, because every caff and restaurant boasted a bowl of sugar cubes on the table from which you just helped yourself. And stuffed a dozen in your pocket to munch on the walk home too. But it didn't matter one jot from the point of view of weight gain, because even by 1970 only half of UK households had access to a car. A regular complaint of housewives was having to lug 2 lb bags of sugar home from the shops (which they had to do regularly, because their families consumed so much of the stuff). When they got home, clothes were washed and wrung out by hand over the bath (harder work than you think), because few had washing machines. They lugged coal in from the bunker to keep warm. Basically, everyone carried things, or did what would now be termed resistance exercise. And now, hardly anyone does that at all. A few people jog, a few people drive to the gym to lift weights, but virtually no one combines the two, and carried something from A to B. Ever. Ergo, lardarses. |

That sums Charlie up to perfection. It would be easier trying to teach a monkey. |
|
By:
Come on then Drippin tell me why I'm wrong. Chances of that are zero.
|
|
By:
Well Charlie Dim, in that particular case it's like saying that it's better to smoke Benson & Hedges cigarettes than Woodbines.
|
|
By:
Wrong.
|
|
By:
You've had 24 hours to come up with an argument and failed. Go on tell us again how glucose is good for you.
|

By:

A lot easier in fact. |

By:
I take it you're self-taught. As usual no explanation just a poor attempt at an insult.
