Spencer -you now have to star Ryan on your page, haha..
I disagree with those sugar stacks – it's great to see with cokes, etc., but the fruit one is misleading. Yes, fruit has sugar in it, but you get a completely different hormonal response when you eat fruit vs. when you eat say cookies. I think it's a little misleading to stack sugar and assume all are equal.
Maybe all sugar isn't the same, but it is a way to quantify, not qualify, the amount of sugar in a food or drink. Not all fruits are equal. The zone frowns upon high sugar fruits such as pineapple and mango and favors berries.

John- I agree with you on using the stacks to quantify the sugar. My issue is how it is presented. You have an awesome knowledge base on zone and how to view sugar, what are the best sources of carbs, etc. I feel that if Joe Public lands on this site and sees there are as many stacks of sugar in a coke as in say pineapple (or whatever is comparable), it's easy to say, "I'll have the sweet stuff I like because there's as much sugar in ____ (what I like) as in ____ (something that is a more healthy choice)." That's where I see it as misleading…
(And, I'm totally looking at it from a girl's POV, reading more into it than is there, haha..)

I would offer up this site: http://www.byersgetsdiesel.com/2008/10/healthyfuck-off-scale.html (If I want something sweet and it ranks high on the scale, I'm eating it!)
