      I don’t think no 1 is a valid argument as that applies to all food. Also, fructose is a sugar

      Fructose is the element in sugar (Sucrose) that actually taste sweet, it is also the part that is unhealthy. it acts somewhat like alcohol.
      Giving similar problems and can also cause dependency.

      If you want to know the basics about sugar I don’t think there is much better info than this out there, absolutely worth a watch:

            Sure, but the fact remains that glucose is sweet.

            Unless you have FLD the vast majority of metabolic damage is from persistently elevated blood glucose. There is no dietary requirement for exogenous glucose in our food.

            So is 100g of fructose worse then 100g of glucose? Sure, but glucose is still quite bad and abundant in most people’s diets.

              This is true, we can make all the glucose we need without eating any sugar at all.

              glucose is still quite bad

              True.

          You made 2 false claims, and now you say you don’t actually know what you are talking about.
          Yes, I kind of figured that out already.

        If lembot_0004 is a bot, it is in fact a shitty bot as was commented, that gives clearly false information.
        It was clearly an error in judgement by the moderator to remove the above post.
