The fructose in fruit isn’t as easily absorbed due to fibre. Also there’s a natural limit to how much we can consume, no one eats 20 oranges in one sitting.
Nevertheless we are physically limited by our stomach capacity and would be very unlikely to consume bioavailable fructose at the rates made possible by industrial fructose such as HFCS.
@Mr_Blott yeah it quite possibly is my browser. Will check sometime. Anyway, whatever the reason, it’s helpful to me when I’m on big threads.
It’s easy to do - kbin pre-populates the comment reply button with your name so it’s not like I have to type it out. (I think this feature is here because we also interact with Mastodon, but it’s also useful over here).
@msage even that isn’t as hard on the liver as processed orange juice that has no fibre in it. But it’s the things that have extra fructose added into them that I would be wary of.
An Australian guy did a documentary where he ate the exact same number of calories he’d eaten before, and worked out just as much, but he went for food with added fructose. It’s really interesting.
@qyron fruit is healthy.

That sounds like a challenge to me…
@FleetingTit I’m still haunted by that scene in Se7en where the guy has “striations” in his stomach from being forced to over eat.
Unless they are looking for a serious case of the runs.
But I admit to have over indulged on this particular fruit more than once.
@qyron grapefruit is my particular achilles heel!

You know you don’t have to @ people, we can see who you’re replying to, mate :)
@Mr_Blott thanks but I find it easier this way because I’m on kbin.social and when some lemmy threads get big they don’t nest properly for me.
Cool but clearly that’s a problem with your browser or client because nobody else on kbin is doing this

The runs? No. A run to the store to buy more Tums is more likely.
When in doubt, both!
So like freshly squeezed orange juice in large quantities?
