Anyone wants to comment on the apparently short legs? That's weird. But at least it's sugar and not radioactive materials that cure everything.

Whoa, 18cals/teaspoon? Now, I feel shrink-flation; it was 15cals/teaspoon when I last checked.

Artificial sweeteners kind of taste like burning to me. I don't know what that means, but I take it as: "do not."

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

I can't believe you have to advertise sugar

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

I can’t believe it’s not butter.

Well, it isn't butter; it's a (vegetable) oil blend, which is not butter.

[-] BoosBeau@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

Curious question - what's the jaybone connected to?

[-] NotSafeForWorld@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 18 hours ago

Probably the silentbobbone

Vintage fear mongering to mothers to get their children addicted to sugar. Classic marketing.

Okay I’ve got to turn this into a cocaine ad

[-] ramius345@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 day ago

Just put nose in front of sugar and youve got it.

[-] fireweed@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

I don't consume artificial sweeteners because they make me sick.

You don't consume artificial sweeteners because they don't give you Watusi energy.

We are not the same.

Well, in fairness, we do need carbs for energy. It's just that we also need protein and fat for longer-term energy and carbs for shorter-term energy. And we need to match input and output calories. And it's complicated, but for the most part you don't need to worry TOO much about it - just make sure you walk and get exercise, which makes up for a whole host of ills.

[-] Funkt4st1c@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

You can eat zero processed sugar and still get too many carbs in your diet, which is, i think, the important part here. Carbs are not processed sugar, but processed sugar is a carb.

Its correct to say "you should probably eat carbs" but absolutely misguided to say "you NEED to eat sugar; and the children too!"

[-] daychilde@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I agree, just as long as you don't say "You shouldn't eat processed sugar at all" - although I would say it's better to minimize processed sugar unless you need quick energy (i.e. exercise or other manual labour). :)

[-] BilSabab@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

everything needs balance and too much of anything can be poisonous

[-] daychilde@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Including water, yep :)

I totally load myself full of sugary carbs on my heavy cardio and heavy lift days. It makes a huge difference if I slam 40-60 grams of sugar about an hour before my wprkout and sip a sugary Gatorade during it.

I absolutely hate how this reads. How is “for energy” its own sentence on its own line, reads so poorly

[-] bampop@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

For energy? Perchance.

There I fixed it

[-] BilSabab@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

it was acceptable in the 60s

[-] brownsugga@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

All that advertising in mid century western culture was meant to divorce us from the natural world. Careful engineering went into building post wwii American society

Too complicated. Any more than 2 or 3 steps, and it's a Broadway production.

Long time ago a breakfast bar or something was advertised as "full of food energy". After some consumer action the company had to male a second commercial saying "by food energy we meant calories!" as if they assumed viewers would translate that in their heads like duh. What they didn't say was that calories in their case meant sugar.
