23 spoonfuls of sugar per cup

You would have to be mentally ill to pay 3 notes for a cup of coffee when you could make it yourself for pennies.

you aint got a nicker you welsh peasant

Sugar is pure energy, just what you need to recharge your batteries or to start the day.

Contrary to what we are led to believe, sugar does not readily turn to fat.
In fact very little of it turns to fat.

Taking fructose is the quickest way to recharge your energy cells if they're run down from exercise.

93.7 g of sugar is an absolutely insane amount.

There's loads of sugar in fruit.

Yet why don't they tell us about that?

Dim or what?

It looks like Charlie needs his bottom smacking again.

With all the education and information on products readily available people still choose to consume sugar in insane amounts.

Like smoking and drinking you can only do so much.

Let them do it. What's the problem?

In the last 30 years or so, sugar consumption crept back down. During that period, it was highest in 1982, when Britons were eating around 42 kilos of refined sugar per head per year, but it fell by 10 per cent, or around 4 kilos, during 1980 to 2000.

...

We still eat around 0.56 kilos of sugar a week – around 30 kilos a year.

In other words, sugar consumption has been falling dramatically for decades, to the extent that we consume 29% less of it now than we did 37 years ago. And that was a time when most of us were as thin as rakes compared with now.

The difference between now and 1982? Back then we actually carried the stuff home from the shops. Now, thanks to supermarket trolleys or online shopping, we don't even carry it to the bloody car.

depends on the cocoa content ... u need a certain amount to offset the bitterness  but people get hysterical about sugar content without taking this into account

sorry Richie  ...was about to add that  £3 is a lot  ,but if youre sitting  down somewhere cosy it's no different to paying 5 for a beer in a pub  imo

depends on the cocoa content ... u need a certain amount to offset the bitterness  but people get hysterical about sugar content without taking this into account

same with lemon .... you need a ton of sugar with that

This argument isn't about sitting down in nice premises it's about the added sugar. Lots of people take it away. No matter what some simpleton's say excessive sugar is very bad for you.

Charlie is the boss Crippen   ...behave yerself

It is a stunning amount of sugar though, picture 23 teaspoons of it in front of you, you'ld puke at the thought of eating that in one go.

it's in with the cocoa so it's not quite the same ...people won't notice it  as such,although excessive for sure  .... people couldn't eat 23 teaspoons in a normal drink .

these companies don't care about sugar/salt ...they will add what sells the drink

In the 80s, how were ppl consuming the sugar? Same as today? Energy drinks, colas, coffee, chocolates etc?

I remember as kids nicking mams cooking apples ,slicing them and dipping them in a bowl of sugar,yuak

2 asprin with 2 teaspoonfuls of sugar to get it down, yak
you wouldn't dream of it these days
sugar on fresh strawberries

SAUSAGES

excessive sugar is very bad for you.

How much is excessive?

Thick as two short planks, he doesn't even know what kind of sugar he's talking about.

Any kind of excessive sugar is bad for you you fool.

I'll give you four types: glucose, sucrose, fructose and milk. Excess in all of them is bad for you. You work out what excess means.

There you go, the berk hasn't got a clue.

Okay you've looked it up, now which one is bad and why is it bad?

How about saying something Drippin. Come on enlighten us or have still got no balls?

the polar bears population continues to grow - the greedy barstewards are eating whales now

see what you have done charlie - all you warmists are responsible for this

Now that is a quick u-turn.

That's Charlie all over.

He jumps in like a lion, then backs off like lamb when it's obvious he hasn't got a clue what he's talking about.

I refer you to my last post.

Let's say ''can be bad.''

Let's say you ain't got a clue as usual.

It is called indoctrination - once you have got it you will be fine - keep drinking the victory gin and you are there.  Your mind closes down.

they did it in germany once and are trying again now  -  orwell warned you

animal farm a brilliant warning against soviet and germanic style control

Excess in all of them is bad for you.

How can glucose be bad, your body runs on it.

Although yours probably runs on alcohol considering the stuff you write on here.

Glucose is the worst you knobhead.

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?

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

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

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.

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.

the body converts excess energy to fat reserves

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

Bollocks. You clearly haven't got a clue.

Charlie, All you're doing is shouting rubbish because you're out of your depth.

You know nothing about the subject and it shows.

Drippin
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.

The problem is people do not examine the detail.

Drippin tell me where I'm wrong. Or will you continuous sniping but saying nothing?

unfortunately all they can do is lash out -

your body runs on oxygen, but its bad for you in excess....

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.

I see Charlie is trying to draw me so I might write something he can report me for.

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.

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.

damn i can do 17 custard creams in a sitting no problem

jokes i can do about 10 max and that's excessive

i could do 17 though if someone wants to pay me, i'd need about 3 cups of tea to finish the job

correct. something to do with how the fats are chained. vegetable oils are polyunsaturated. lard in its natural state is pig fat and will be similar to coconut or something i would imagine, monounsaturated. polys are far worse for us and lower things like testosterone if over consumed

I blame Mary Poppins

That sums Charlie up to perfection. It would be easier trying to teach a monkey.

Come on then Drippin tell me why I'm wrong. Chances of that are zero.

Well Charlie Dim, in that particular case it's like saying that it's better to smoke Benson & Hedges cigarettes than Woodbines.

Wrong.

You've had 24 hours to come up with an argument and failed. Go on tell us again how glucose is good for you.

It would be easier trying to teach a monkey.


A lot easier in fact.

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