Latest entry in the ongoing debate over fructose and the "toxicity" of sugar:

Scientific Review of Lustig's "Fat Chance" (PDF)

Quote:

Also, according to that research, the only negative effect that is typically demonstrated with intakes above the threshold of 50 grams per day is a transient increase in plasma triglycerides that occurs following consumption of a single high dose of fructose. It is important to keep in mind that a 50 gram dose of fructose would typically be accompanied by at least that amount of other carbohydrates. Regardless, his recognition that negative effects likely occur only at high doses does not fit with the gist of the book, wherein he repeatedly suggests that sugar is a toxin to be avoided.

I find the critique much more compelling (and supported by the evidence) than Lustig's unfortunate hyperbole. But, because I put more stock in moderation, flexibility, and evaluating diets based on the entire nutrient profile - as opposed to rigidity, food avoidance, absolutism, and evaluating individual food items regardless of context - I am predisposed to believe it.

Fortunately, you're all grownups - you have the source material now, and can make up your own minds.

Supplements - "Human Effect Matrix"

Still looking this over, but it seems to be a well-organized and researched matrix of the evidence regarding the effects of various supplements. If, for example, you want to know about the actual data regarding the effects of green tea on fat oxidation, the site will tell you that it's been well-researched, that there is a minor effect, and provide links to the 8 studies upon which the conclusion is based.

Probably worth a look if you use supplements.

Example: Vitamin D
