Fructose, insulin resistance, and metabolic dyslipidemia
FReepmail me if you want on or off the diabetes ping list.
The PDF isn't that long.
This isn't junk science like anthropogenic global warming. It isn't any calorie from glucose is the same as a calorie from fructose. Fructose metabolism favors the production of triglycerides. The 2nd link explains fructose metabolism if you can deal with some biochemistry.
P.S. Non alcoholic fatty liver disease was unknown as a common diagnosis before the introduction of HFCS.
P.P.S. Before this latest paper mentioning the possible variations in actual fructose content of HFCS-55, it was claimed to be 55 % fructose, 42 % glucose and 3 % other sugars. That's almost 4:3 ratio of fructose to glucose, aka dextrose.
Actually it is, just not as politically useful.....yet. There are as many studies one way as the other but the evidence in humans, as opposed to the lab rats upon which most of the doom and gloom studies are based, doesn't support the thesis that HFCS is any worse than sucrose. It's the overconsumption of either that is a problem.
Metabolic effects of fructose and the worldwide increase in obesity.

"There has also been much concern that consumption of free fructose, as provided in high fructose corn syrup, may cause more adverse effects than consumption of fructose consumed with sucrose. There is, however, no direct evidence for more serious metabolic consequences of high fructose corn syrup versus sucrose consumption."
Just one of many.
Is there any evidence that fructose injures people who consume large quantities of orange juice and sweet fruits like peaches, plums, and apples?
That would be a description of my diet, by the way.
