The difference is between fructose found in fruit and sucrose from HFCS. I think they effect insulin differently

Natural sugar is processed in the body more effectively than other sugars.

>>11364482
Strawberries have a lot of water content, fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. Milky Way is almost all fat and sugar, little to no fiber, and insubstantial nutrition.

I didn't realize they were different kinds of sugars. I'll jump on Google and check it out. Thank you very much.

>>11364525
This is the most important thing.

>>11364528
That should have been taught to you before even high school.

Wrong guys
>>11364525
The correct answer

There are only three different kinds of sugars (they have a bunch of different names) and they are all the same thing fructose, dextrose, sucrose.
To add to that sucrose is one part fructose and one part dextrose so really there are two sugars but sucrose is it's most common form. Fructose and dextrose are the same elements in the same amounts the molecules are just shaped/aligned differently, neither is better than the other and the body treats all three the same way.

Fruits mostly add fibre and vitamins with the sugar where as the snickers is sugar and fat with some cocoa butter for flavor the fibre of fruits helps you digest then easier and fills you up faster for less calories that's why fruits are better than candy even though both have a decent amount of sugar

>>11364528
Are you five years old? Even Nickelodeon would have adverts talking about shit like fructose and sucrose

Food is more than just caloric content.

>>11364591
What about lactose?

>>11364591
Look up glycemic index and its effect on insulin

>>11364591
>Fructose and dextrose are the same elements in the same amounts the molecules are just shaped/aligned differently
I agree with you on your overall conclusion, but not on this point. Arrangement of atoms makes all the difference to enzymes, and fructose will enter into glycolysis at a different point than glucose/dextrose.

Natural or artificial created.

Are you a human or an NPC?

>soda doesn't make you fat
>hating soda is """"fatphobic""""
choose one or the other moron

I used to drink soda every day, as soon as I quit I immediately started getting thinner and was finally able to appreciate drinks for something other than sweetness and a sugar fix

>>11364482
i just did the math,

to equal the amount of sugar you get from eating 10 fun sized milky ways, you would have to eat 250 strawberries, which is physically impossible.

>>11364482
Fruit is never good for you unless it's a tomato

>>11364482 (OP)
i just did the math,

to equal the amount of sugar you get from eating 10 fun sized milky ways (100g of sugar) , you would have to eat 167 strawberries, which is physically impossible.

Found the ketolard

It's dextrose that comes from milk. Lactic= milk those is just the suffix for all sugars
Fun fact dextrose and glucose are two different names for the exact same thing
Maltose is just fructose that comes from barely
They are compound sugars that are made up of different amounts of the three sugars listed above
>>11364655
That's true, I more wanted to strees that neither sugar is healthier than the other alot of people see fructose think fruit and assume it's a 'healthy sugar's which is flat out wrong as high fructose corn syrup is practically the same thing as glucose syrup

Added/processed sugars aren't broken down by your body as easily as natural glucose.
Also strawberries, and other fruits, have fiber that passes through your body more easily and aid in digestion.

>>11364700
There are three monosaccharides: galactose, glucose, and fructose. Sucrose is made up of one glucose and one fructose, lactose is made of one galactose one glucose, maltose is two glucose, etc.

>>11364482
Fiber.

>>11364482
>Your hatred of soda is class snobbery and fatphobia
literally neither of these things are bad tho

>>11364528
>>11364560
To be fair, there was that big TV ad for HFCS pretending to be a legit PSA saying "Your body can't tell the difference! cause sugar is sugar :)))))" And people truly believed that shit. Misinformation is more powerful than a lack of information.

>>11364818
That was the counter PSA to all the bullshit propaganda that HFCS is horrible for you because it's not real sugar.
You've managed to go full retard.

>>11364679
>tomato
>good
Kek. Yes goy, keep eating solanaceae. Enjoy never making it, ZOGbot.

>>11364591
>neither is better than the other and the body treats all three the same way.
This is untrue. Any cell of your body can process glucose (dextrose). Only your liver can process fructose.

Fat people should be taxed heavily

>>11365447
Not likely at present.

>>11364482
The main differences are:
1. The candy won't have inulin or any other type of fibers. The combination offiber with the sugar regulates your blood sugar value in a way healthier manner.

2. The candy bar does not give you any vitamins and not very many minerals either.

3. The strawverries provide you with fluids thr candy does not.

4. The candy is more caloric (of coursethis can be either good or bad) since it also contains a decent amount of fat on top of the sugar.
I don't think there are other differences

>>11364482
I eat fruit once a year or so. Never drink soda.

>>11364591
You're close to being a little correct but overall you've missed the mark.

Also, your bully-manners turns me off, none of my cellulose or ribose for you!

>telling someone they are killing themselves with food is fat shaming
oh kaye

>>11364591
what if i drank a can of soda with a nutritious meal as my only sugar intake for the day?

>eating sugar
I'd prefer ketofags.

>>11364831
but it is horrible for you...
