ratbert90 posted:Because it doesn't. Carbs are counted completely different than sugar to the AHA. I understand their basically the same, the populace does not. You don't understand what you're talking about, since sugar is literally a carb. Because there's no different percentage to put than the percentage the total carbs have, which is defensible under current dietary science.

The AHA suggests no more than 36grams of sugar a day, yet the 26 carbs on the bottle of orange juice are labeled as 9% of your daily value. So tell me how they are labeled the same? Oh wait they aren't.

Nutrition labels should never be arbitrary, they're supposed to be based on the best possible scientific evidence. The AHA suggests that, but other entities do not say that's the actual recommended value nor is there is nearly enough reliable evidence out there to support making a daily value percentage based on that one entity's suggestion. Sorry that you want to do some dumb kneejerk labeling though!

Have you considered the environmental impact of constructing and maintaining enough solar, wind, geothermal and hydropower to actually meet needs? Are you considering the fossil fuels that will need to be used in setting up a "green" power solution? Do you have an accurate idea of what radiological hazards actually are and what they do? There is a huge amount of bad feelings that tend to replace information about actually how it breaks down in the end. Instead of understanding what the hell is going on, we have a bogeyman here. Might as well rail against chemtrails and vaccines for how dangerous they are.

They are in fact labeled the same way as sugar, since sugar is a carb, and you are currently angry because they're labeled the same way as sugars. Get your own dumb arguments straight at least.

The material inputs and physical footprint of a renewable grid dwarf those of a nuclear solution. Animals and plants don't poo poo bricks over overblown radiation panic. There is no valid environmental argument against Full e: once you exclude arguments based on ignorance of actual radiation effects on the environment, ignorance of relative material inputs and land use for nuclear vs every other power, and ignorance of actual radiation vs. other energy source health impacts, the only coherent arguments against nuclear power are social and made by people who want to decentralise all the things for a more localised personal production of everything to make people feel ~connected~ to their resources. suck my woke dick fucked around with this message at 19:28 on Nov 28, 2015 |

Carbs ARE labeled the same way as sugar. You are demanding they be labeled differently by listing a different daily value for sugar instead of a single daily value for all carbs. Most world governments have health organizations behind their labeling requirements, they do not think there is sufficient evidence that specifically simple sugars need a separate value, the way saturated fats do within all fats.

What aren't you getting, exactly? There has only been 50 year at best of real nutritional science, and during that time there has not been strong enough evidence that simple sugars need a separate recommended daily value from all digestible carbs in general. Those numbers you keep throwing out are also ridiculous on the face of it, because different people have wildly varying needs. They put both on the label as a courtesy to those who are interested, perhaps as part of a specific diet plan. In fact, on many foods, they don't bother to separate it out on the label at all! ratbert90 posted:Which is why I am trying to say that sugar should be labeled differently.

They shouldn't be labeled differently, because there isn't actually evidence supporting that. The health orgs behind government labeling in most countries agree it's ok for someone who should have a 2000 calorie diet, i.e. an older woman who's kinda short, to have 288 grams of sugar, so long as she has 0 grams of other carbohydrates.

The funny thing is, the U.S. did have a truly horrifying nuclear accident. But it wasn't a commercial power plant and it was well before we had anything close to the level of safety regulations and knowledge we have now. And most people haven't even heard of it. There are videos from the episode of Engineering Disasters that show what happened: http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=rocketdyne+nuclear+accident&FORM=HDRSC3#view=detail&mid=847F784E2FE33BD49DF8847F784E2FE33BD49DF8 And here's the wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Susana_Field_Laboratory#Accidents_and_sitecontamination We still have no idea how many people were killed or sickened in the long term. But using this, TMI, or Chernobyl as evidence against nuclear power is like using the Titanic as evidence against cruise ships.

Wouldn't how long a carb takes to be broken down into usable glucose be pretty relevant seeing as glucose spikes are a bad thing? Sugar breaks down quicker than simple carbs which in turn break down quicker than complex carbs. Sure if you eat ons bite every 20 minutes there's little difference but given realistic eating patterns there's a huge difference between a bunch of sugar in a meal and a bunch of complex carb. The difference is all in the release over time.

How do you somehow generalize that into a recommended daily amount? A diabetic must avoid carrots to the same extent they avoid cake and pasta to the same extent they avoid peas - carbs is carbs. (Unless it's dietary fiber) Edit: Oh, wait. Refined sugar isn't even the bogeyman of the glycemic index measurement idea.

The indigestible carbs do not count towards the daily value int he first place. Sugars do count the same as other carbs on the long term basis that the recommended daily values are about though, which is why they are not split. They should not be separated, because the current scientific consensus does not agree there a) needs to be a separate limit b) that such a separate limit is known. Masonity posted:Wouldn't how long a carb takes to be broken down into usable glucose be pretty relevant seeing as glucose spikes are a bad thing? Not for what recommended daily values are for, which is not "optimal health hour by hour" but "proper feeding over the long term". Like in reality almost no one is going to consistently get their carbs purely from simple sugars for months on end, it would require quite active effort.
