Better the devil you know. A few examples. Butter vs margarine. Which one do we know, if we believe they're both bad? Lard vs Crisco. Salt vs whatever other substitute. Sugar vs substitutes. Meat vs soycrap. Milk vs soycrap. Fresh vs processed. Fresh meat vs processed meat. Bacon vs bacon bits, you know the ones that come in a box with a list of ingredients. Home cooking vs restaurant.
So, do we know fructose? Maybe, but we certainly don't know fake sugars.
When it comes to long-term information, if we don't have that in the form of modern recent scientific experiments, we can instead use common sense as a fair substitute. So, as a species, it's how long we've been eating it, and how much.
Then, we're talking about sweeteners, we put that stuff on something else. And we're talking about two processed sweeteners. And we're talking about two processed sweeteners that are added to other processed foods that contain a list of processed ingredients. Basically, we're arguing whether filtered or non-filtered cigarettes are the best, when it's obvious to anybody that neither is good.
After we've figured out all the above, let's look at the real question. What kind of crap did we already decide to put in our mouths, that we're now faced with a choice between highly processed pure fructose and highly processed fake sugar, just to make that crap palatable?
Does this whole line of questioning fit even a little bit the big idea of low-carb friendliness? I mean, Dude, if you gonna put crap in your mouth, you're a long way from the question of good vs bad for ya.
