New study highlights fructose’s unique role in metabolic disease

This bit from the article is what caught my attention:
Fructose is not just another calorie. It acts as a metabolic signal that promotes fat production and storage in ways that differ fundamentally from glucose.” — Richard Johnson, MD, professor at the University of Colorado Anschutz and study lead author

Very interesting, thanks for sharing!
And very good to know, thanks for waking my interest!
That high fructose corn syrup
So fruit makes us fat now, too?
Fruit is not the same as pure fructose.
I didn't say that it was. But fruit contains fructose.
Yep, that's right. The conclusion that fruit is unhealthy because it contains fructose would be misleading, though.
More likely high fructose corn syrup.
