Back when Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw were big names in the life extension movement, they published a book or 2 on the subject. I seem to recall them recommending that people use powdered fructose in place of regular table sugar.
This is one of the few times when they seem to have come down on the (as it turns out) wrong side of an issue.

I remember watching them YEARS ago. I always wondered what happened to them.

Back when Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw were big names in the life extension movement,...I'm assuming the reasoning is that table sugar is composed of molecules of fructose mated to molecules of glucose. Fructose tastes much sweeter than glucose. So, by using fructose only and leaving out the glucose, you can achieve the same amount of sweetening with a smaller amount of added sugar.

They may have somewhat come down on the wrong side of the issue, true. However, I’ll bet they never recommend the MASSIVE DOSES of fructose that people ingest to cause diabetes.
