      @DragonTypeWyvern ha ha that link was meant as an illustration not a proof. It’s not even a scientific paper, it’s Harvard Health.

      I seriously doubt that fructose is the “root cause of obesity” like this article claims. But @AnaGram is right, all calories are not equal and the science has been clear for a long time when it comes to metabolic differences between how the body processes, say, fructose vs glucose.

      I think there are probably a bunch of TOFI addicted to HFCS who don’t want it to be true though!

          @DragonTypeWyvern yeah turns out I had the wrong link, it was meant to be one about how the liver processes different molecules.

          Anyway there’s one in my other comments.

          The way the body processes fructose specifically is really interesting and challenges the old beliefs, but you’ll learn about it sometime if it interests you.
