You can have the last word on those points because you’re probably right, especially on the math ratio part if that makes a difference. And its conceivable that it may make a difference where in the gut it gets separated and shunted to the liver. More research on this would be a good thing.
The other data that backs Lustig up is that long before the invention of HFCS, civilizations that did not have refined sugar had no diabetes or heart disease. Then they got those diseases and more, after starting trade with western countries that refined the sweet white stuff. And long ago, when sugar was prohibitively expensive to the poor, these were diseases only of the rich and royalty.
Until he’s proven wrong, I’ll stick with the safer Lustig conclusion: that they are both ~~equally bad. Especially for me with an already damaged liver from fructose. There are probably millions of other like me but don’t know it.
How did you get a physician’s diagnosis that you have a fructose induced cirrhosis?
