Re: Mixing Creatine with Protein Powder

High fructose corn syrup is a known cause of digestive problems. Yet
manufacturers continue to use it, because its cheap. So on the one
hand, food manufacturers are feeding you things that cause indigestion.
On the other hand, drug manufacturers are selling you products to
control stomach acid.

All that money buys a lot of advertising, so we hear all about the
wonderful soft drinks that happen to contain high fructose corn syrup,
and you hear all about the wonderful drugs that are supposed to make
you feel better. What you don't hear is that if you simply avoid high
fructose corn syrup, your indigestion goes away. No one is making
enough money to run an advertisement 17 times a day, every day, to
remind you. So people suffer while corporations prosper.

The problem with high fructose corn syrup is the LARGE amounts of
fructose it contains. Fructose is the sugar found in fruit, so it
sounds like it's good for you. But high fructose corn syrup has MUCH
LARGE QUANTITIES of fructose than you could ever find in fruit--without
the fiber that slows digestion and feeds the beneficial bacteria in
your digestive tract.

Instead, fructose feeds the bacteria that cause gastric distress. In
fruit, the fiber feeds the beneficial bacteria, so they out-compete the
harmful bacteria. With high fructose corn syrup, only the harmful
bacteria get fed. Indigestion is the inevitable result. In addition,
fructose breaks down into formaldehyde in the body. In the quantities
found in fruit, that's not a major problem. But the quantities found in
high fructose corn syrup can produce neurological problems. So like I
said, enjoy your HFCS diet, but don't mind me if I stick to berries,
nectarines, and apples with my creatine and whey.

No, Steve. You said something stupid, and you tried to wiggle out of
it. YOU RECOMMENDED FRUCTOSE for post-workout creatine and whey. I
said you should use glucose or something that has about as much
glucose as it does fructose. YOU THEN SAID FRUCTOSE IS BAD by quoting
resources that don't like the prevalence of high-fructose corn syrup
in our predominantly couch-potato society.

And you still haven't figured out how that makes you look like an
idiot. I think that's the saddest part.
