On Fructose… again. Is Fructose one of the big killers of our days to come?

ash13-norm-robillard-did-cavemen-get-heartburn-6-638I had this insight in that theta brain state in the morning when I was about to wake up...

I have been struggling with acid reflux. It started about three weeks ago when I started to enjoy some jam on my toast again in the morning.

I forgot why I'd stopped using anything that has fruit in it... the fructose! duh.

But then, in this half dream half awake, the insights came.

I have a client who can only whisper, because his vocal cord got damaged...
And there is this other client who has a tumor in his throat...

The connection between Fructose and eczema, psoriasis, arthritis, gout, ADHD, Alzheimer’s, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, and autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, thyroiditis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and insulin-dependent diabetes

Fructose has been implicated in numerous inflammatory disease processes including eczema, psoriasis, arthritis, gout, ADHD, Alzheimer's, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, and autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, thyroiditis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and insulin-dependent diabetes.

Fructose is absorbed differently from glucose in the intestinal tract.

Glucose stimulates the release of insulin from the pancreas. Fructose doesn't. Instead of insulin, cells use glut-5 transporter to move fructose into cells. Most cells only have very limited amounts of this transporter, so it's primarily cleared by the liver, where it's easily transformed either into fat or components that eventually increase blood lipids like triglycerides.

And, fructose has a toxicity factor beyond its caloric equivalent.

How do you test if you are fructose intolerant or not?

Just like the test for yeast infection is weird ((for yeast infection, the only truthful test is to kill off yeast by restricting all carbohydrate intake for a LONG while... if you respond with intestinal pain, gas, general malaise, then your intestines were full of yeast aka Candida)).

The way to test for fructose is to buy fructose and consume it instead of regular sugar however you normally consume sugar.

Lemonade, your tea/coffee, bake with it, make ice-cream, just make sure you don't use more of it than you would use of regular sugar.

Not able to form strong relationships? Maybe it is the fructose in the baby formula!

not-able-to-form-strong-relationships-fructoseThere are some unchallenged myths about well-being, being emotionally and intellectually well-adjusted, that are ripe to be challenged.

One of the myths, one of the urban legends is that infants, when they grow up in an institution, and aren't touched, held, they develop to be emotionally disturbed, aloof, self-absorbed, etc. adults.

But what if there is more to this early development than meets the eye? What if it isn't about being held? What if it is the food they are given is at fault? What if it is the baby formula?

Some of my closest associates were either adopted as infants, were prematurely born, and were not breast fed as infants.

We demonstrate the personality traits that are described in the following excerpt from an article by Bruce Perry

Dr Dougherty’s Fructose Intolerance video: fructose the hidden cause of bloating and gas…

fructose intolerance

Dr Dougherty shares her view, as a physician. ((When you hear her words, you know she has patients with this set of complaints, and that she knows if what she says works or not. This is vastly different from all the people, all the hundreds of videos, that know nothing, tested nothing, understand nothing, just repeat something politically correct, like crying wolf about the corn industry, etc. Don't misunderstand me, I am not saying you should eat high fructose corn syrup... but that is not THE culprit, there is a cultural/societal/money component that is underneath it, and I think killed both my parents:

That it is animal fat that makes you fat. That it is animal fat that causes heart disease. That it is better to eat fat-free, cook with vegetable oil, and all the other happy horseshit that fed us, my hunch, since the second world war.

As a child fed formula, it was sweetened with sugar, was loaded with other carbs, I was born in 1947, in Hungary: no corn syrup there.

All sugars have fructose in them. All fruits have fructose in them. And it is not human's natural eating to eat sweet stuff. I'll write an article about this taste thing that has been tempered with so we eat what is bad for us.))

As a healer, patient, and independent thinker, I will go way beyond what she is saying. Maybe doctors can't do it, but as a layperson with deep insights into the way things work, I can detect connections others can't or haven't.

One of these is how the fructose intolerance condition develops.

Fructose: Fructose Intolerance, Fructose Malabsorption and Irritable Bowel Syndrome: are they connected?

irritable bowel syndrome and fructoseIrritable Bowel Syndrome is much like a puzzle. We discover pieces that look like pieces of the puzzle, only to later find out that they were just similar to the real piece...

Fructose malabsorption looks very promising in solving the IBS puzzle.

Fructose is a type of sugar that you can find in most plants. Fructose, the table sugar we know, is a mixture of different sugars, one of them being fructose.

For quite some time the word in the street has been that fructose is good for you, especially to people struggling with their weight, and people with hypoglycemia. New research proves the word in the street wrong: instead of fructose being good for you, it is, by itself, a true poison.

The body doesn't know how to use fructose! The digestive system can't deal with it effectively, when it is by itself, or when the proportion of the fructose is over the proportion of other sugars, like glucose. Instead of it being able to use it as food, it just feeds the bad bacteria and the yeast in our gut, causing horrible symptoms, both inside and outside our gut.

If you have digestive symptoms, like bloating, flatulence, or abdominal pain, it is worth looking at the idea that the fructose in what you it is causing the symptoms.

And if you have depression, mild forms of hallucination, sleeping disorder, confused mind, dyslexia, high blood pressure, headaches, then you may be dealing with the effects of the alcoholic fermentation and its results: leaky gut syndrome, GAPS, and mild alcohol poisoning.
