  no one eats 20 oranges in one sitting

  Unless they are looking for a serious case of the runs.

  But I admit to have over indulged on this particular fruit more than once.

    @qyron grapefruit is my particular achilles heel!

    Nevertheless we are physically limited by our stomach capacity and would be very unlikely to consume bioavailable fructose at the rates made possible by industrial fructose such as HFCS.

    The runs? No. A run to the store to buy more Tums is more likely.

      When in doubt, both!

    @FleetingTit I'm still haunted by that scene in Se7en where the guy has "striations" in his stomach from being forced to overeat.

  So like freshly squeezed orange juice in large quantities?

    @msage even that isn't as hard on the liver as processed orange juice that has no fibre in it. But it's the things that have extra fructose added into them that I would be wary of.

    An Australian guy did a SuperSizeMe type film where he ate the exact same number of calories he'd eaten before, and worked out just as much, but he went for food with added fructose. It's really interesting.
