The Coffee House

[Gary A.]

Mary Lou and Gary spent a pleasant afternoon watching Infinity Wars. 2.5 hours of movie, nearly all entertaining, (if you’re not a big Sci-Fi/Marvel fan), or completely entertaining (if you are a Sci-Fi/Marvel fan).

Saw this the other night and loved it. Might have to nerd out and start a spoilers warning thread discussing what it all means going forward!

What was odd/funny ... was that when the lights and credits came on, we were the only ones that stood up to leave. I guess we didn't get the memo. But halfway down the stairs, (we always sit in the middle of the back row), we took a seat figuring the entire theater knew more than we ... and they did, lol.

Every Marvel movie has that little bit after the credits. Sometimes more than one. It's usually a clue about the next movie. Did you get the clue at the end? I didn't but had a total nerd with me who explained it.

Everyone is so serious these days, how about a little levity to brighten your day!

THE BLONDE PILOT-

This is the story of the poor dizzy blonde flying in a two-seater airplane with just the pilot. He has a heart attack and dies. She, frantic, calls out a May Day.

"May Day! May Day! Help me! Help me! My pilot had a heart attack and is dead.

And I don't know how to fly. Help me! Please help me!"

She hears a voice over the radio saying: "This is Air Traffic Control and I have you loud and clear. I will talk you through this and get you back on the ground. I've had a lot of experience with this kind of problem.

'Now, just take a deep breath. Everything will be fine! Now give me your height and position."

She says, "I'm 5'4" and I'm in the front seat."

"O.K." says the voice on the radio....

"Repeat after me: Our Father. . Who art in Heaven. . . ...."

Gary tends to think of carbs as pure sugar ... and 'sometimes' limits his consumption of breads based upon that fearful assumption. (For the record, carbs are a combo of fiber and sugars.)

Sugar (sucrose) is [effectively] half carbs and half fat (fructose is metabolized by the liver into fat, much like alcohol).

Actually, they are both carbohydrates. Sucrose is a combo of two simple sugars, glucose and fructose. Oddly, both glucose and fructose share identical chemical formula but their molecular structures are different.

Glucose is the sugar of preference by it body. Glucose generates insulin to be released into the bloodstream which facilitates glucose to be absorbed and metabolized immediately by the cells or stored as glycogen. Fructose does not generate insulin release and is only metabolized in the liver, as you mentioned. Fructose gets metabolized after sucrose and tends to be stored as fat (lipogenic), as opposed to glycogen. The body breaks sucrose into its basic two sugar components of glucose and fructose, then treats the sugars separately as described above.

Table sugar is a sucrose.

I think we agree. I said "Sugar (sucrose) is [effectively] half carbs and half fat..." (1/2 glucose = food; 1/2 fructose = toxin processed into fat by liver).

ahhh ..not really. Sucrose, glucose and fructose are all 100% carbohydrates as well as a 100% subset called sugars. We do agree that sucrose is a combo of glucose and fructose. But, the big but, fructose is not a toxin. Sucrose and fructose each take a different metabolic pathway as an energy provider to the body. Glucose generates insulin delivery and is immediately available for energy production, hence glucose will/can create an energy spike based upon insulin. Fructose, which does not trigger insulin delivery will not produce an energy spike. Only in recent times, due to a readily and plentiful access to food, is fat production unhealthy, (well ... let's make that fat over-production). Primitive man generally had long spans of unscheduled fasts, which in turn gave an advantage in survival to those with a storage supply of fat. If Gary recalls some of his college classes correctly, most all organs/body elements will metabolize glucose, but a few body elements cannot and require fructose for energy ... sperm cannot metabolize glucose and needs fructose. Fat is not a toxin. While an overabundance of fat is unhealthy ... an overabundance of most anything ingested by the body is harmful.

It'd definitely be pretty weird to have something that a healthy body requires in the 10-20% range to be a toxin.

Gents (and any interested ladies)- watch this, then let's talk. Yes, to a biochemist, fructose is a "sugar". The human body does not recognize it as a sugar; it only recognizes glucose as a sugar. When the body sees fructose it sends it straight to the liver and says, "get rid of this". What do you call stuff in the blood stream that the liver immediately sets out to eliminate? A toxin. Like alcohol. Alcohol is also eliminated by the brain (thus the buzz). Fructose is not. This video will explain that fructose is eliminated by the liver in a manner very similar to alcohol.

The body requires NO fructose. Only glucose. Fructose is there to sweeten things up; nothing more.

XXXXXXX ... ?

No Spoilers! LOL. Apparently every person in the country has already seen the movie... it broke the Force Awakens opening weekend record.

Hey y'all. Apparently I had 5.05 hours today because 15.35 for the week so far and yesterday it was 10.30. Floor machine worked perfectly. Buffer buffed like it was supposed to. The young fellow that took over for Robert (who got fired) spilled a mop bucket. I used the floor machine to suck up quite a bit of it. Cleaned the bathrooms. Swept. Had biscuits, gravy and two pieces of sausage in the deli. Planning to fool around until noon to get my check.

Recent research at Yale has determined that the brain when exposed to high levels of glucose will make fructose.

Yay summer!

Recent research at Yale has determined that the brain when exposed to high levels of glucose will make fructose.

Recent research has also determined that when the body is exposed to carbs at high levels, it will make the taste receptor cells happy.

Interesting. Here is a link. Not sure the implications. Maybe a mechanism in the healthy body to get rid of too much glucose (in the study they infused glucose).

Fructose is generated in the human brain

Especially when cold, with lots of fat and air whipped in. Or maybe that's just me.

I don't think the recent research evaluated cold vs hot or dense vs airy carbs, but I tend to agree with you. I'm assuming, depending on the form of the carbs, the taste receptors will not discriminate against types of carbs and will be happy with any or all of the above.
