The lesson of the day: LCHF/keto food gurus think the two chemicals below are identical and cause the same problems. (Their Dunning Kruger moment) I pulled this picture off a prominent MD's twitter account to make a point that the food gurus are not aware of what they do not know.

Black Swan Mitochondriacs know they are quite different and they lead to different problems, some with good outcomes, and others with bad ones, depending upon the environment and season.

Do you know why this is true?

ANSWER: Fruit juice glucose and fructose levels are controlled by the photosynthetic process dictated by the sun, water, and photosynthetic pathways used, (C3, C4, CAM). Fructose in soda is controlled by man. Most of it is HCFS and that is made in a lab with NO hydrogen isotopic control. So this is why SODA is WORSE than fruit juice 100% of the time. I am a bit shocked that none of you smart guys knew this, but it is VERY COMMON knowledge. In fact, if on sending often 100% fruit juice to the lab and soda you will find that fruits ten to have 145-155 deuterium in ppm. Soda goes from 155-200 ppm in testing. The deuterium (D) abundance of the carbon‐bound hydrogen atoms of photosynthetically formed carbohydrates is influenced by the D abundance of the water taken up by the plant, which depends on the climate, and by Deuterium isotope discrimination within the plant.
HFCS is not a REGULAR plant. In fact, most HCFS is now made synthetically in a lab with NO PHOTOSYNTHETIC CONTROL in place.
This is why the deuterium content can rise above seawater levels. In plants, the latter can occur during evapotranspiration or by deuterium isotope effects of metabolic reactions. The D abundance of plant material could, therefore, give information about the physiological response of plants to changing environmental conditions, and could serve as a climate indicator to the colony of mitochondria who consume the plant product.
