Does that clear things up? Not really. Sugar (sucrose) contains fructose in a form that must go through the digestive process before it's released. We don't fully understand the process, but it is believed that the digestive process reduces the effects of of fructose on the body.

Also, the natural occurring fructose found in fruits and other plants may be less harmful than the processed form.

LOL!

Ok, so fructose is fructose except when it isn't. Got it. What you're also saying then is that honey (where fructose is a free sugar) is dangerous even though people have been consuming it for centuries. Who knew?
