  1. I think there's a little too much glossing over the handling of fructose in the liver here. There's quite a bit of research showing that consumption of fructose causes increased triglyceride levels where consumption of glucose does not. Even if the issue turns out not to be significant (and there's certainly information that suggests otherwise), that tells us right away that the body's handling of fructose can't be as simple as it all getting converted to glucose by the liver right away.

  2. I don't understand why people blame sugar and not their eating habits. There are quite a few friends around me who have been diagnosed with diabetes or who have passed the crisis of being diagnosed, but they all blamed their eating habits and wrong lifestyle, and none of them blamed sugar.

  3. In my case sugar is good for my well being. Of course I consume it in reasonable amount : by putting it in my tea ( 2,5 teaspoons in a glass) , eating a piece of cake a day etc. I Don' t take into consideration sugar coming from fruit because it' s not so much. Sugar is necessary for living just like water, air, vitamins etc. It improves concentration, mood, gives energy… At least in my case it does. If I do some mental work and suddenly I find it difficult to concentrate or remember what I should, it' s a signal that I must eat something sweet but made by myself because that one bought contains artificial sweeteners, aspartam, palm oil, glucose – fructose syrop etc.

  4. What about the toxicity of fructose metabolism's byproducts? You've said that in the liver fructose is turned into glucose, but at what cost? Ever seen prof R. Lusting lectures? By the way, I can run a trail marathon in hard terrain in the early morning, eating the day before a low-carb meal in the early afternoon, then again the next low-carb meal in the early afternoon. Feeling great during the run and after. No carbs are needed during the run and 3 hours after.
