Sugar

I also like barley or quinoa cooked with apples and a little cinnamen when I get tired of oatmeal. For the quinoa I cook the apples for a bit first before putting the grain in because it cooks so fast.

Interesting thread. Very interesting about fructose, though it does sound a little bizarre. You'd think the one thing we definitely had evolved to eat safely would be fruit. And if fructose does have those negative effects, eating too much fruit should do it too, not just the syrup? But maybe nobody is going to overdose on bananas or grapes anyway

Flavoured yoghurt over here has so much sugar that some kindergartens don't want kids bringing it in as food. You can buy so-called "healthy snacks" that are sweet flavoured yoghurt with sweet cereal to put in it... makes my blood sugar go through the roof.
