Thanks man! Got some research to do.

There was a thread on here a while ago, you might have read it or even posted in it, about sugar(s)? I can't remember what it was now.

But anyway, I've always thought refined sugar is worse than naturally occuring sugars in fruits etc. But a lot of people kept suggesting "sugar, is sugar" I still don't believe that to be honest.

If I drank 2 litres of fruit juice one day, and 2 litres of coke another, I believe the natural sugars on the fruit juice day would be better dealt with by my body because they are natural, and give me added benefits. The coke day would probably fuck around with my bodies sugar levels, and give me no health benefits.

I reckon insulin levels, the pancreas, liver and kidneys probably deal with natural sugars from fruits, as opposed to the almost drug properties of refined sugar.

But, I don't know if that's all total bullshit, i'd rather have that mindset to try and stop myself drinking the dirty black stuff
