/ck/ - Food & Cooking

That's a load of loaded question. Why so insecure? why do you need to be validated by the answers of others about the question?

Yes, please help me /ck/

Oops. Still eating dinner.

Just try sugar-coating this: The World Health Organization says your daily sugar intake should be just 5 percent of your total calories — half of what the agency previously recommended, according to new draft guidelines published Wednesday.

After a review of about 9,000 studies, WHO's expert panel says dropping sugar intake to that level will combat obesity and cavities. That includes sugars added to foods and those present in honey, syrups and fruit juices, but not those occurring naturally in fruits.

Dr. Francesco Branca, WHO's director for nutrition, conceded the new target was somewhat aspirational.

"We should aim for 5 percent if we can ... but 10 percent is more realistic," he said in a news conference on Wednesday.

Americans and others in the West eat a lot more sugar than that: Their average sugar intake would have to drop by two-thirds to meet WHO's suggested limit.

WHO's new guidelines have been published online and the agency is inviting the public to comment via its website until the end of March.

Many doctors applauded the U.N. agency's attempt to limit the global sweet tooth.

"The less sugar you're eating, the better," said Dr. Robert Lustig, a professor of pediatrics at the University of California and author of a book about the dangers of sugar. "If the sugar threshold is lowered, I think breakfast cereal is going to have a really hard time justifying its existence," he said, referring to sweetened cereals often targeted to children.

i put honey on my cereal so maybe. don't give a hoot, though.

I don't believe in science, so this really doesn't affect me.

Only fedoras think it is real.

>feeding children technicolor grain-based candies that are "packed with everything they need to start the day"

Several generations having grown up with a diet like this might be contributing too.

When WHO last revised its sugar guidelines more than a decade ago, it recommended sugar should be less than 10 percent of daily calories. The U.S. sugar industry was so incensed it lobbied Congress to threaten to withdraw millions of dollars in funding to WHO. A contentious reference to the sugar limit was removed from a global diet strategy, but the recommendation passed.

Lustig said WHO's new guidelines could alter the food environment by forcing manufacturers to rethink how they're using sugar in processed foods like bread, soups, pasta sauces and even salad dressings. He called the amount of sugar in processed food an "absolute, unmitigated disaster."

YES YES, put sugar in everything /ck/. YES.
Cosan Ltd and Rogers Sugar Inc need you to give in to your primal urges. Put sugar on your toothpaste while you are at it.

>>5261624
now that i check, though, a serving size is 16g at 1T. probably only used a teaspoon. cereal has zero grams sugar. so i'm well under including my lunch as well

>>5261630
>you are a child because you like sweet things.

>>5261635

Yes because you have a child-like palette you child.

>>5261639
palate

Yes, /ck/. Put sugar on everything. It will make you into a "real woman". Treat yourself, you deserve it. yes.

Don't listen to the WHO or NIH, /ck/. Those doctors are nerds. And nerds are creepy, not hot.

Consume the sugar. You need to treat yourself. You are a hardworking career woman, you deserve all of this sugar after a hard day's work. Put it in you. DO IT.

there was about half a teaspoon in the dough of the pizza I made

otherwise no significant amount of sugar today other than natural sugars of the passata and veg on the pizza

Don't think about the tire that has run over roadkill rolling over the sugar that's about to get into your mouth.

If you weren't supposed to eat sugar, it wouldn't even exist /ck/. You need this. Let it penetrate your every orifice. Yes. Yes.

>>5261650
>other than natural sugars
How much does that add up to? Sucrose, glucose and fructose will always be sucrose, glucose and fructose, no matter where they came from.

Don't give me up. The weight I add will make you into a "real woman". Don't you want to be a "real woman", /ck/. You need me in your life. Help support the corn industry.

What are you talking about? She is the patron saint of all "nerd girls", which is every female on 4chan. You guys should love her, because she is everything you are.

>>5261659
according to the internet approx 11.4g (7g 1 red onion raw, 3g 1 tomato raw, 1.4g in 70g of mushrooms)

add the half a teaspoon and its 13.4g

well shit that's more than I expected

>>5261673
You mean I have to take those into account too? All poultry and spinach/kale diet is seeming like a better idea every day.

>>5261654
> being this retarded

Breakfast was a cup of homemade unflavored yogurt and homemade sugar-free granola with probably a tbs of raisins.

Then I had a bunch of steamed carrots and broccoli and some homemade falafel.

Then I had two eggs and some sauteed onions and mushrooms.

So I haven't eaten any granulated sugar today. There was some fructose in the raisins. but probably no more than 10g or so.

>>5261672
ugh I hate her but would anger bang the shit out of her

>>5261665
is she the fool who called Gabe "Garry Newell" when half life 2 won that shit?

>>5261607

Well, my drink of choice is plain water and I generally avoid processed food and do my own cooking, so yeah, I'm usually under 25 grams. I still think OP is a massive faggot though.

Now, barring the inevitable bleedover from other boards, we're largely not children and neckbeards on this particular forum. If you think about it, it's because we, y'know, cook and all. Now do me a favor, and go make a thread about the benefits of exercise on /fit/ or something.

>Robert Lustig

He's fat.

I've eaten 500g today.

I eat no added/refined sugars, but I eat lots of fruit

In fact, when I do use "sugar," it's date sugar, which is just whole date fruit with the fiber and nutrients intact, dried and crushed into a powder. It's great for baking or for mixing into oats, but not so good for liquid things like tea or coffee since the fiber makes it hard to mix into liquids

>>5261705

Yeah, I've never understood why so many people look at an obese guy as an expert on curing obesity

And then on the flipside you have John McDougall, Caldwell Esselstyn, and Neal Barnard saying that fat is the problem, and they're slim as hell and have more way published works and credentials than Lustig

Robert Lustig once said in an interview that "no food in nature has both fat and carbohydrate at the same time" because "that's what God did"

>tfw your job is to distribute sugar on an industrial scale
>tfw you are helping the children of America kill themselves

> 5 percent of total calories
I guess you'll just have to stop eating apples and oranges unless you can split them with someone.

>>5262118
Fat lady mental gymnastics, everybody. Look at her. Look at her and laugh.

>>5262152
Oh, I got the mental math wrong, that's actually more like 100-125 calories from sugar per day, which is about a whole apple instead of a half of one.
Okay, so I guess "an apple a day" is just right then?

Keto here. I'm lucky if I get 25 net carbs in a day.

>>5261632
i thought we did make sugary toothpaste. how else bubblegum super sweet flaovr. I'd eat the shit out of that if it didn't give me heartburn and I had was still 6

>>5261642
