[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2455915, member: 196898"] In our modern low fat low sugar world we have created alternatives that are added to our foods. These alternatives are sugar isolates, sugar alcohols and tertiary sugar molecules. We are talking maltose, Dextrose and malitol.sorbitol etc. Since the only sugar we seem to excrete, is glucose then these molecules all get processed and used within our body in some way or another. They are the hidden sugars, and they are in plentiful supply now compared to our predecessors diets. Add in alcohol and plentiful supply of corn syrup and honey for example, and together with a general migration to the sofa, then this is a recipe for excess by stealth. No one here is seriously putting forward that it is eating fruit or a high carb intake that is the problem, it is the combinations that can push the lipid button. our liver converts fructose into trigs which get stored as glycogen in the liver. When the liver is replenished, then ther is no more room and the liver then spits out lipids to be stored elsewhere in the adipocytes. When the adipocytes are full, they can for a while open up new storage from unprogrammed stem cells in areas not allocated for fat storage (i.e. the pancreas), but once created an adipocyte can only be renewed but not removed. Diet or exercise will empty these new lipid sacs, but they remain available for future use, which is why it is easy to regain fat after a diet. [/QUOTE]
