Eating fructose appears to alter cells in the digestive tract in a way that enables it to take in more nutrients. These changes could help to explain the well-known link between rising fructose consumption around the world and increased rates of obesity and certain cancers.
The research focused on the effect of a high-fructose diet on villi, the thin, hairlike structures that line the inside of the small intestine. Villi expand the surface area of the gut and help the body to absorb nutrients, including dietary fats, from food as it passes through the digestive tract. The study found that mice that were fed diets that included fructose had villi that were 25 percent to 40 percent longer than those of mice that were not fed fructose. Additionally, the increase in villus length was associated with increased nutrient absorption, weight gain and fat accumulation in the animals.
…the team put mice into three groups: a normal low-fat diet, a high-fat diet, and a high-fat diet with added fructose. Not only did the mice in the third group develop longer villi, but they became more obese than the mice receiving the high-fat diet without fructose.
Dr. Goncalves added that humans did not evolve to eat what they eat now. "Fructose is nearly ubiquitous in modern diets, whether it comes from high-fructose corn syrup, table sugar, or from natural foods like fruit," he said. "Fructose itself is not harmful. It's a problem of overconsumption. Our bodies were not designed to eat as much of it as we do."
"There are already drugs in clinical trials for other purposes that target the enzyme responsible for producing fructose-1-phosphate," said Dr. Goncalves. "We're hoping to find a way to repurpose them to shrink the villi, reduce fat absorption, and possibly slow tumor growth."

Screw this bs. Enjoy life. It’s the only one you got.
Almost all the sweeteners are loaded with fructose (or sucrose that is half fructose). Honey, agave, etc, they’re all about half fructose. The clear Karo brand corn syrup is straight glucose — no fructose. It’s the only sweetener in the store that is fructose free.
High fructose corn syrup (glucose and fructose) is the same as corn syrup (just glucose). HFCS has had some of its glucose turned into fructose.
Don’t talk to me about the bizarre sweeteners like mannitol, saccharine, stevia, etc. They’re worse than fructose.
I’ve found that I have keep my carbs low in general. No more big portions of bread, pasta, potatoes, etc.
Mostly anything processed. Salad dressings, coffee creamers, bread ....
You have to read labels. High fructose and partially/ydrogenated oils are in so many things. The 2 together keep Big Pharma in business.
More here and lots more out there

Correction: HFCS is the same... should be HFCS isn’t the same.
Cane sugar contains as much fructose as HFCS. The “high fructose” label distinguishes HFCS from regular sorn syrup (which contains no fructose).
Anything that uses sweeteners, because it’s cheaper than cane sugar due to government [Corn lobby] rule, not market rules..
Here is world prices for sugar:

Compare this to what YOU PAY at the grocery store for ‘domestic’ sugar..............
They did.
It’s called ‘Your Brain’..................
Soy is. On men it grows boobs and shrinks testicles.
Yes, avoid high fructose corn syrup like it was the Wuhan.
Getting more nutrition from food sounds like a great therapy for African starvation.

It appears to only have a little glucose.
Interesting to note that Colorado is today the thinnest state in America but it is fatter than the fattest state (Mississippi) was in 1990.
Life is more enjoyable for a longer period of time if you eat healthy and avoid becoming diabetic.
I think you want this:
Glucose syrup, also known as confectioner’s glucose, is a syrup made from the hydrolysis of starch.

bttt
“It appears to only have a little glucose.”
From your own damn source!:
“While HFCS is comprised of approximately 45 percent glucose and 55 percent fructose (the exact percentage of fructose can vary depending on the product), plain corn syrup is simply glucose...”
I had a rice cake for breakfast with diet peanut utter and a cup of black coffee, for lunch i had a salad with diet dressing. Yhe next person to even look at me is going to get a pitchfork thru their eyes as I now in line at taco bell for some real food. WTH?
