Fructose Tied to Obesity as Study Shows It Doesn’t Cut Appetite

The data “surely suggest that it’s probably not in your best interest to have high fructose-containing drinks because they’re not going to cause you to be full, and you’ll tend to consume more calories,”

HFCS in sodas is about 50% fructose, 50% glucose. Sucrose (aka sugar) is 50% fructose, 50% glucose.

Yeah, switching from HFCS to sugar is gonna make a huge difference.

Better yet, let's tell people to avoid HFCS and instead drink 100% organic, all-natural fruit juice. Which is almost all fructose and very little glucose.

I'm really tired of people searching for a magic food that will fix the "obesity epidemic" either by eating it or by avoiding it. It's really not that complicated - we eat too many calories and get too little exercise. But fixing those takes more work than magic food, so we keep getting fatter while we desperately search for magic food.
