Fructose is fructose regardless of where it comes from. HFCS (usually made from corn) is terrible stuff agreed, but the fructose in it is identical to fructose in fruit. The body metabolizes fructose differently than glucose, and this has several negative consequences. However, when coupled with fiber ie. in the unprocessed fruit the negative effects are negated.
Is a tablespoon of jam on your toast once a day going to kill you? Obviously not. My point is only that fructose is not the same as glucose metabolically speaking and that there are consequences for making this incorrect assumption.
There's a fascinating video called Sugar The Bitter Truth by Dr. Robert Lustig on Youtube if you want to learn the science behind why fructose is not the same as glucose.
I love when people use the religion of science to tell you that something made in the lab is the same as the thing that naturally occurred from nature.
Science is so infantile that it can't identify the majority of things present in food, but you want to argue using some guy who wrote a book based off science that surely isn't corrupt at all. How can you really believe that a lab modified chemical is the same as natural grown fruit?
AHAHAHAHAHA that's hilarious... oh wait, you're serious.
Sorry to break it to you but a molecule of fructose is the same whether it comes from an organically grown apple or from the lab. And besides the point is how the human body metabolizes fructose, not whether Big Food is out to get you. Did you even watch the video, or did you just skip around until you decided you had enough 'evidence' that supports your misguided theories? Grow the fuck up, hippy.
It's really astounding your level of pomp. It's ok. Keep going through life like a sheep.
I don't know if it's fructose or glucose. I only know jam with only fruit sugar tastes better, more natural than those with added sugar.
