it destroy your heart faster than anything else can,
but also will have the effect of triggering fat storage at a very accelerated rate.
There’s an enzyme called fructokinase that gets activated in the presence of fructose, and it basically
hearkens back to the days where we were eating ripened fruits and berries at the end of the summer in
order to fatten up for the winter. Nowadays I don’t
care if you’re living in Minnesota in February when
it’s 40 below outside, winter “ain’t coming” for us

perpetually living in a temperate climate, and it’s a
major vector for we
