[net.med] SUGAR!

gknight@ut-ngp.UUCP (gknight) (01/19/86)

Now that all of you bright people have set me straight on the
vitamin problem :-), how about addressing the sugar issue?
Tell us about glucose (which the brain needs), sucrose (which
is table sugar, right?), fructose (in fruits, right?), et al.
Are people who contend that table sugar is bad for you (why?)
correct in saying it's okay to use honey?  What's the metabolic
pathway for the various sugars and what are the good and bad side
effects of consuming various sugars?  Have at it!

Please disregard my earlier request for a debate on the
relative merits and demerits of sugar.  I understand the
oldtimers still have scars from the last sugarfest!  I'll
think of something else I want to know later!
