Fructose is bad in large quantities.
Fructose is about 50% of HFCS.
Fructose is about 50% of Honey.
Fructose is about 50% of table sugar.
Fructose is more than 50% of agave sugar.

One of the only common sources of sweet that is not loaded with fructose is good old fashioned corn syrup.

Even the most aggressive anti fructose advocates say the fructose you get when you eat whole fruit is okay, but fruit juice is not — apple juice and grape juice are a major source of excess fructose, and are just as bad as HFCS.

A little is okay, huge quantities will kill you, eventually.

Isn't that true for just about everything? Life will kill you, eventually.

Please add “I’m honest” to that list! Thanks for the info.
