25 分钟Is sugar poison?
Sugar is like alcohol.
So, is alcohol poison?
Depends on the dose.
Right?
The dose determines the poison.
Paracelsus 1537.
We have an innate capacity to metabolize alcohol.
And if we stay below that, it doesn't do too much damage.
If we go above it, different story.
Same thing with sugar.
Same thing with this molecule, the sweet molecule, fructose.
And the reason is because fructose and alcohol are metabolized virtually identically.
What's the difference between sugar and fructose?
So, sugar, dietary sugar, the sweet stuff, the crystals, the stuff you put in your coffee.
The stuff I've got over here?
Yeah, like that stuff.
Yeah, that stuff.
The five-pound bag right there.
That's called sucrose.
