>Coconut oil Opposite macros of olive oil. High in saturated fat (solid at room temp) and low in unsaturated fat. Perceived as healthy by hippies and idiot stay at home moms.
>Kale Tasteless and tough as shit. No healthier than any other leafy green and toxic in high amounts.
>Stevia Much less studied than aspartame. No health benefits, not proven to be any safer than aspartame which is made of two amino acids aspartic acid and phenylalanine (building blocks of protein that all of our bodies use regularly).
>Against MSG Another animo acid, a glutamine ion, bonded to a sodium ion. Very rarely is anyone allergic to it contrary to what they commonly report. Used all the time in our bodies and found in high amounts in many other common foods. Parm cheese, tomatoes, anchovies, fish sauce, seaweed etc contain high amounts of MSG.
>Cane sugar better for you than High fructose corn syrup. All sugars break down into the same constituents. There is no difference in health value in HFCS compared to cane sugar. There may be a slight difference in taste, which is a positive but comes at a higher price. The real downside of HFCS is that it is dirt cheap and is added to many cheap processed foods in high amounts unnecessarily.
Literally the only thing there I give a shit about is the corn syrup thing
Corn syrup may be sweet, but it tastes like shit. I can actually taste it, too many soft drinks just taste of fucking corn
Nolan Allen
>all saturated fats are unhealthy
Lucas Gray
Cane sugar is arguably more healthy because its not as calorie dense. Plus it tastes waaaaaaay fucking better. HFCS is super cheap and super high calorie but not as sweet as cane sugar so manufacturers dump a lot more of it in than theyd comparably use of cane sugar. If youre given the choice and choose HFCS youre an idiot
Elijah Lee
They may not all be unhealthy, but the point is coconut oil as a whole is not a healthful oil. It has opposite macros of olive oil which is universally agreed upon to be one of the healthiest if not the healthiest oils out there.
Samuel Adams
Do you have a single fact to back that up?
Benjamin Long
That also doesnt inherently make it an unhealthy oil

Of course not, deniers never have facts to back their stupid claims up. And they especially enjoy throwing out generalized scare terms like >toxic in high amounts Nearly everything is toxic in high amounts, including water.

You would need to drink 4 cups of olive oil to receive any type of beneficial effect from the low amounts "health benefits" it carries on a daily basis. Other than imparting flavor, it's a shit teir" health" junk food.

Aspartame can release methanol into your body as a byproduct of metabolism. More than is safe daily if you consume it with any regularity too.

Owen Cruz
Uhhh ok? The logic is correct. If you only cooked with coconut oil over a long period vs olive oil you would see a difference health wise. High saturated fat (less desirable) in coconut oil vs high mono and poly unsaturated fats (omega 3, omega 6, etc) in olive oil. I don't expect you faggots to know anything about fats or proteins I only studied it for two years in while getting my degree in chemistry so I guess you guys are smarter than me.
Luke Bailey
> Getting protein from beans isn't any healthier than getting protein from beef
I mean this is basically just wrong the issue isn't that the protein from beans is better than the protein from beef the issue is that beef also has a bunch of saturated fat and cholesterol that comes with that protein whereas beans have virtually none of that stuff
Gabriel Smith
I agree, people are also scared of "chemicals". Scary names like ascorbic acid. Oh wait that's vitamin c. Everything in the universe is made from chemicals.
Camden Martinez
The problem with getting protein from beans vs beef isn't even the extra fat or cholesterol or any of that. The problem is that beans do not contain "essential" amino acids that our bodies need to be healthy. Essential amino acids can only be found in large quantities in animal protein. Vegan diets don't contain all the essential amino acids and people that follow them often have to take supplements to get those essential proteins otherwise they can get sick.
Ryan Ramirez
you don't have to eat meat to get all of the essential amino acids at all though nor do you have to take supplements if you ate nothing but beans you would but why would you ever do that? there are a lot of foods that give you essential amino acids
Dominic Nelson
I'm fortunate enough to have had few if any food allergies, but I think I am allergic to MSG. Or something in pork rinds, at any rate. I grabbed a bag on a whim a few months ago and, maybe 5 minutes after finishing them, my body got flushed, my head got light, my lips tingled, my tongue swelled, and it was difficult to breathe. Does that sound like a food allergy?
Jace Russell
Takes one more ATP per molecule of fructose though. La de fucking da, but still.
James Thompson
I should have been more clear. Animal protein contains all 9 essentials. Plant based protein is often called incomplete protein because different profiles are found in different plants. Quinoa and soy have the most complete protein profile but you still have to eat a varied diet and think about what you are eating a lot more in order to get all 9 essential aminos. Lots of vegans do take supplements to easily get their aminos. People have weird diets. I for one think being vegan is fucking weird.
Michael Gutierrez
You get more methanol from tomato sauce
Cooper Mitchell
you are 4/5 but kale is just flat broccoli son
Luke Lee
this is true but at the same time if you ate nothing but beef that would still be terrible for you even though it is a complete protein
So it really doesn't matter what diet you have it pretty much has to be varied no matter what otherwise you will run into some kind of nutritional problem

No fucking shit, Sherlock. What kind of stupid crap is that to say? If you only ever eat one thing of course it's going to be terrible for you. That's why you're not supposed to just eat one thing.
Goddamn, dude. Come on.
Joshua Jenkins
>All sugars break down into the same constituents. There is no difference in health value in HFCS compared to cane sugar. There may be a slight difference in taste, which is a positive but comes at a higher price. The real downside of HFCS is that it is dirt cheap and is added to many cheap processed foods in high amounts unnecessarily. This is somewhat false, fructolysis is a separate biochemical pathway from glycolysis . Fructose causes your body to create a higher ratio of triglycerides than glucose.
That being said, both cane sugar and HFCS contain both fructose and glucose... HFCS just has more fructose.

I feel bad for you. You can't think for yourself obviously. Are you 16 years old? People use oil to cook every day. You wouldn't know because you don't cook anything for yourself. Everything in respect to diet happens over a period of time and depends on quantity. Of course you are so educated you concluded that my post meant "a ridiculous amount". Every day usage you fucking idiot.
I have no idea what you are talking about so I'm going to conclude you are a little boy or a fucking idiot. Move to reddit maybe you'll find some friends there crybaby,
Tyler Torres
I bought coconut oil for specific uses but other than that it's stored at the back of the pantry in place for Olive oil or vegetable oil.
Blake Hill
Yes. Get an epipen or see an allergenist. Not kidding, you could die from this
Levi Smith
Yes it's not 100% correct but if I explained everything in full detail no one would read the post. i don't think most people who believe these food myths even know what glycolysis is or know about any biological pathways and their small differences in end products. Basically there isn't enough of a difference between sugars to make HFCS the boogeyman of sugar.
Jace Johnson
Sounds like an allergy but still unlikely to be msg. There's a chance though but a very small one.

>tasteless I've seen people complain about it being bitter or tasting 'like dirt', but never about it lacking flavor. Either you're buying shit kale or your taste buds are fried.
>tough as shit Are you eating the lower stems or something? Maybe buying those bags of pre-cut, old kale? Trying to eat mature kale raw in a salad, rather than baby kale? It's should be no tougher than other hardy greens when prepared properly.
>No healthier than any other leafy green Yeah the people who act like it's a 'superfood' that cures cancer are retards. It is very nutrient dense, but there's probably no reason to choose it over other greens on any health basis.
>toxic in high amounts I guess you're referring to the goitrogens? The same thing can be said for just about any food. Oxalate in spinach, phytic acid in nuts, etc. It's irrelevant for like 99.99999% of people living in the developed world, despite all the 'health gurus' and fad dieters who obsess over antinutrients. If you don't have thyroid issues and don't do retarded fad diet shit like eating pounds of raw kale every day, there's zero reason to give it any thought.
Isaac Green
true, if you want me to start off the post talking about how all sugars have a slightly different effect on blood sugar then I could have done that. It doesn't matter for the sake of argument though because high fructose corn syrup is actually not on the top of the glycemic index. Its actually somewhere in the middle as far as sugars go. Then we can talk about all different pathways and enzymes and this and that but the point is that its a myth that high fructose corn syrup is the devil.
Adrian Cox
my basic point about kale was that its in style right now but is no different than any other leafy green. People act like it is the end all superfood and want to put it in everything but there are superior greens like swiss chard.
Gavin Jenkins
Ana bitches live off the stuff.
Nathaniel Mitchell
Kale has like 3x as much potassium as swiss chard
Lincoln Richardson
Stupid fucking idiot, red-shirted ass.
Ryder Barnes

What are you talking about? Do you think its smart to choose an oil that has massive saturated fat and low levels of healthy mono and poly unsaturated fats? Or do you just like to swear and act like a little bitch with nothing to back it up?
Ethan Clark
keep eating kale then if you have a potassium deficiency.
Jack Perez
Swiss chard is also like two vegetables in one. Crunchy stems and nice tender leafy greens. The rainbow variety is pretty too.
Owen Moore

Justin Gomez
Glucolysis is a tighter regulated pathway but there really isn't much difference when table sugar is 50-50 and hfcs is 40-60
What's worrying is the level of mercury in sugar processing (cbf to post source, search archive for mercury)
Only relevant to complex carbohydrates, to sweeteners it means fuckall
Potassium chloride salt can be prescribed
Something about free glutamate vs bound glutamate is part of the argument, wish I knew more. As far as cooking oils you want high omega 3 acids and low polymerization, or something. Avocado was good but evoo is fine. Kale is mostly fine.
David King

Oh and HFCS is bad because it runs on (((Big Corn))) subsidies driving corn demand up. I mean corn isn't even a vegetable, it's a sweet starch nutritionally and is technically a grain. Corn is becoming to America what the potato was to the irish. We probably have hundreds of pounds of the shit that gets wasted or turned into ethanol for more subsidy bucks

But you were implying that vegans only get protein and essential amino acids from one source, which they don't. You can easily make a vegan meal that provides all essential amino acids.

Like I said, very rarely. I didn't want to leave that part out because I would get replies from 100 retards saying they are allergic to it.

Yes, but that's a pretty rare condition and they would have to have a special diet anyways to make sure they don't eat any phenylalanine. I remember learning about it in class but I can't remember if it can be treated or you just have to live on a special diet forever.
Logan Barnes
Yeah kale is mostly fine, nothing wrong with it and it is healthy but it has exploded as a good trend. Probably because kale was a someone unused and cheap ingredient that chefs too advantage of in restaurants. Don't get me wrong kale can taste good if prepared right. Kale chips are really good actually. It's just not the end all superfood stay at home moms think it is.
Acai is another food fad that's pretty much pointless. Destroys the rainforest to cultivate and is pretty much on the same level as blueberries antioxidant wise and doesn't taste any better really,
Nathan Morales
Yes I actually get kind of pissed when I see Chinese places with no msg signs. I want the msg it makes everything taste better. I actually use it when I cook. Either accent or Chinese chicken soup powder.
Daniel Williams
Pretty ignorant reply imo. Have you ever heard of the French paradox? They eat tons of butter and fatty foods but still have relatively low instances of heart disease? Part of that is their high consumption of olive oil along with wine and coffee consumption. Greeks are the same way, same with Italians. Olive oil has been known for thousands of years to be very healthy.
Brody Watson
good goy

Also it's not shit tier health food or even food in general. Olive oil can be one of the most delicious things on earth. My family lives in Greece and press their own olive oil. It's incredible delicious just with bread dipped in it with nothing else.
