It certainly seems to be the fructose that is the most problematic, due to the different chemistry it is subjected to in the liver. What I had failed to get was that sucrose is half fructose and half glucose, and the body splits it apart, so you end up with some good (glucose) and some bad--fructose. So that is why Dr. Lustig said that HFCS and table sugar were equally bad--both were (round numbers) half fructose.

As for P&P (profit and politics), he touched on that also. No comment.

Art in Fl's article was interesting also, but if I read it correctly, it downplays the Fructose problems because the Fructose is consumed in combination with other things. I think the different bio-chemical pathways in the liver for Fructose seem to argue against that theory.

Somehow, I think consuming 10's of pounds of fructose every year for many years is being shown to be a really bad idea.
