Casey Means Says Berries Are Going To Make You Fat!

Casey means is back on her BS. Honestly, as someone who comes from a conservative household, I am EMBARASSED by the nominations from the republican party, especially Casey Means being nominated as surgeon general because she consistently does NOT understand science

In this video she claims that fructose is why bears eat berries because it helps fatten them up for winter & that’s why we should avoid fructose

Do I need to point out the obvious that we aren’t f***ing bears?
Do berries & fruit make people fat? Unequivically NO. In research studies where people eat more fruit, they have LESS body fat, BETTER insulin sensitivity, & better overall metabolic health (PMID: 29643151, 26996228, & 31139631)

She then claims that high fructose corn syrup is 1000x (she fabricated this number) more potent than regular fructose & is associated with violence

WATCH OUT FOR THE FRUCTOSE RAGE!

The reality is that people in lower socioeconomic areas are MORE likely to consume more HFCS & people from lower socioeconomic status are 700% MORE likely to engage in violence, but oh yea… it’s the fructose rage Casey 🙄(PMIDs: 19631043 & 25147371). Just for comparison the increase in risk with HFCS consumption is an 11% increase in fighting (PMID: 32150827) meaning that the increase in violent behavior associated with HFCS consumption is COMPLETELY explained by the confounding variable of socioeconomic status

Also HFCS is not magically fattening, in studies that replace HFCS of fructose containing sugars with other sources of sugar or carbohydrate but keep calories equal there is no effect on body fat or markers of health (PMIDs: 30463844, 26358358, 28536126, & 22351714)

Until you are willing to go back to school to learn how to properly assess scientific research Casey, you need to SIT DOWN
