.Layne Norton, PhD: "Biochemically there is very little difference between cane sugar and high fructose corn syrup...if you're telling me a 5% difference in fructose.. is somehow going to change our nations health...you're putting energy into stuff that won't make a bit of difference"

@BioLayne You are obsessed with this and totally missing the mark. All little steps are a good thing. What is your issue with this one topic?

@BioLayne This isn’t the hill to die on bro and I like your work. It’s an incremental step to take down a behemoth. You think they were going to halve all sugar content over night? Take the wins and move on to the next battle

@BioLayne Engineers cream their pants over a 5% improvement. It's not saving the world... But every small step in the right direction should be celebrated.

@BioLayne Positive changes across the spectrum of food products is a good thing, not a bad thing. It all adds up.

@BioLayne Krystal is turning your brain to mush take a break

@BioLayne Saagar lol, give it a rest, food police is never gonna fly in the US. Getting away from HFCS and seed oil are just easy things to implement, general health guidelines are still there and by no means the NIH is saying people can eat these things without limits.

@BioLayne There is a big difference in insulin response. That is key, and it is well-studied. Start there.

@BioLayne Sugar molecules with a hydrogen in a different orientation, although chemically read the exact same, can functionally be different.

@BioLayne Dude starts working out and eating correctly and now wants to say maha is dumb and we need crap in our foods… because calories..

@BioLayne How about we don’t drink soda period

Midwit take. No sense of scale. 5% less sugar across how many drinks per person per day? For 365 days for over 350,000,000 Americans? That’s a lot of sugar that’s not being converted to fat. That’s actually a significant number of lives saved at that kind of scale. But yeah, sure, it’s a nominal difference between two 12oz cans. 🙄

@BioLayne lol, first something with a 5% difference is significant at scale. Second, Human’s share 98% of their DNA with monkeys. That argument lacks merit, as we can see small differences can lead to vastly different results.

@BioLayne Layne Norton is great, wasn’t expecting to see him on BP. 🫡

@BioLayne Stick with your corn syrup then.

@BioLayne The downstream health and economic benefits of not putting corn syrup in everything, not just soda, something you don’t do with sugar… and subsidizing the corn industry as a result, is such a net win. Take the win and stop trying to be the dork in class raising his hand.

Even the guest says that we're eating less sugar and yet obesity continues to rise. I don't think that's all about substituting HFCS for sugar, but I do believe it's due to eating cheaper, processed substitutes for real food, and HFCS is a great flag for which manufacturers just care about the cheapest ingredients possible. I don't understand why anyone would be on the other side of this issue - clearly we need to clean up our food system, and even if this move is largely symbolic - well, symbolism is also important.

@BioLayne Enough with this nonsense Saagar. This is really where you’re at??? I thought Krystal was bad enough. Now you? Ugh.

@BioLayne But wouldn't 5% difference overtime makes a huge difference?

@BioLayne Putting cocaine back in it will

@BioLayne Bro, it’s not just about cane sugar. Let it go.

No matter who is in office it's always going to be about money. If we really wanted to MAHA 🇺🇸 again we wouldn't be changing the ingredients in ultra processed foods. We would be changing the way people ate with access to healthy and affordable foods while educating how to actually eat nutritious foods to live a healthy lifestyle. More lean protein, fruits, veggies, healthy fats and less processed carbs. People would be healthier if we focused on changing habits. 👇 🤷‍♀️

@BioLayne That 5% difference is an overall reduction of 10% in glucose content compared to HFCS. Not to mention it taste better and is in a glass bottle ;)

@BioLayne Thank you, @BioLayne - this fraud RFK needs to be cooked. People are taking victory laps over seed oils and food dyes, neither of which makes a difference to these obese pigs slogging around

@BioLayne wrong. totally. please examine the insulin response and duration. vastly worse with fructose.

@BioLayne Corn syrup (HFCS) hits faster than cane sugar: it’s free glucose + fructose, absorbed immediately. Fructose goes to the liver, bypasses insulin, and can turn to fat more easily—while cane sugar digests slower but ends up the same mix. #Metabolism #Nutrition

@BioLayne It tastes better.

@BioLayne 30 minutes of 2 guys crying how it’s not enough. We all know it will never be enough for these types of people though

@BioLayne Layne has yet to respond to @ChrisMasterjohn very thorough masterclass on the differences between PUFAs and MUFAs and why it matters physiologically. Thats because he only pretends to invite critique and never addresses real ones.

@BioLayne This is so bad. To compare natural sugar that humans have been eating for thousands of years to a man made chemical concoction within the last 50 saying it’s virtually identical is insane. Please bring on @dr_ericberg

@BioLayne Ok listened to the whole thing until it devolved into a GLP-1 commercial. Unless that was the set up, you two must be devoid of critical thinking to not bring satiety into comparing foods. How disingenuous! Saagar, as someone who can’t control own weight, stop sounding so sure.

@BioLayne I'm sorry but I believe that this guy is bought and paid for by the pharmaceutical and agricultural industry. He's going to be proven wrong just like the rest of the doctors who said smoking was healthy. What is natural is always best It doesn't produce cancer And autism

@BioLayne Old Coke recipe or bust. I think there’s a reason why people got so much done back in the day.

@BioLayne Sadly, he’s right. Cane sugar is just a sly less powerful nuclear bomb on your health than hfcs. It’ll be more than compensated for by increased soda intake.

He's right 🤷‍♂️
