The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
and so when we gave it we found that the mice over time became very very fat and insulin resistant and and i was a little depressed but i was hoping that we would find that the glucose was being converted to fructose and when we looked in the livers we found that about you know maybe as much as 25 percent of the glucose was being converted to fructose
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
so the way we did this experiment was we gave glucose in the drinking water okay so it was like 10 glucose in the drinking water and we gave it to laboratory mice... the wild type mice the control mice they they get fat when you give them fructose in the water they get fat when you keep them glucose in the water it's pretty significant
and this takes weeks to months and really to to see the effects of glucose or fructose to cause obesity it goes through a period of of time several months and what happens is initially when you put uh when you give glucose or fructose in the drinking water the animals like it so they drink a lot more water than they normally and they they're getting a fair amount of caloric intake from the water from the drinking water because it has sugar in it
