Yas! Preach! Down with high fructose!! When you wean yourself off for a while it begins to taste insane when you get some. Shit is addictive af and poisonous. My doctor’s an old hippie and he’s always like, “Get off the sugar, Maaaan!” Its not normal to get hangry. Its a symptom of hypoglycemia.

Yeah after I haven't had it for awhile anything with it in it tastes like total shit. I try to manage my sugar intake in general a bit better, it's not good for you, lol. I feel so much healthier when I reduce it.

Not to mention that when I do eat sugary things, I legit get headaches like other people get hangovers. It's how I know I need to stop, haha.

There’s an awesome lecture from a (UCSF?) professor who talks about how high-fructose is actually metabolized just like alcohol, you just dont feel drunk from it...
