Exactly this.
Fructose adds to your intake of free (added) sugars. Whole fruit, on the other hand, does not.
Whole fruit contains fibre (roughage), vitamins and minerals, which are good for your overall health. The fibre helps to slow down the speed the fructose is absorbed into your blood stream and can help you feel fuller for longer. This is why it’s better to eat whole fruit, rather than fruit in the form of juice or a smoothie.
Fruit juice and smoothies, on the other hand, have most of the fibre (roughage) removed when they are made and it’s very easy to drink large quantities in a short space of time. This means you could be drinking a lot of extra calories, carbs and sugar.

Thabks for linking, ironically this guy makes patriotic shoes with flags and ones that say “Gulf of America” on them according to the thread.
So much to unpack here…
- Comment on Elon Musk's X lost 11 million users in the EU over the past 5 months 1 week ago:
Yeah that’s 20% of the population of the EU (total population figure of 450 million used). It’s mental that after all of the things that have happened recently, 1 in 5 people still use Xitter and that’s not even excluding babies.
- Comment on Why do news articles and such call the governments of countries/groups of countries after the capital? 1 month ago:
South Africa has three capitals but they have different roles: Pretoria is the executive/administrative capital, and this branch of the government is run by the head of state. The other roles are the legislative (Cape Town) and judicial (Bloemfontein) capitals. I would assume depending on which branch of the government is delivering news they would use the appropriate capital, but it’s most likely to be Pretoria.
Feel free to correct me I am not an expert or South African.

Nah no problem with it being about Vegan nuggets or anything, but that faux surprise/O-face trend was pretty played out although it did birth good memes.

Ah IDK not actually angry that was hyperbole. It’s just the silly expressions they’re pulling.
- Comment on braaiinnss 2 months ago:
Top tier use of that meme. That original photo of those two guys pointing at the vegan nuggets or whatever it was makes me irrationally angry: sometimes I look at it just to wind myself up.

Something similar is suggested to a lesser extent about psychedelic mushrooms by Melvin Sheldrake in Entangled Life. No where near the same scale as wheat, of course.

Ok ignoring the fact that this isn’t a speaker, if it was and the question is what would I play on a speaker this size, then probably this.

Convince my SO to watch Vampire’s Kiss with me recently and she hated it but I’ve got love for it. It doesn’t make much sense, has an awesome soundtrack and he really went in on just being weird with the role.
