"Fructose is the problematic sugar our bodies turn to fat the most readily, and if you are programmed to be fat, an apple will make you that much fatter."

I've been having a problem with Acid Reflux, and I just read that apples are very good for that problem.

Try it. Maybe it's only a placebo effect, but if it helps, so what? But that's not the first reference linking fructose to fat that I've read. Fructose metabolism produces glycerol with one less enzyme required than than glucose metabolism. Glycerol is the "spine" of triglycerides. This biochemistry and physiology isn't for everybody.

Table sugar, sucrose, is composed of equal parts of glucose and fructose, but the ratio of fructose to glucose in the high fructose corn syrup used in soft drinks is almost 4 to 3. The high fructose corn syrup used in baked goods is different from the high fructose corn syrup, HFCS, used in soft drinks. You can check the keyword, hfcs, threads by me if you're curious.
