I’m not aware of fructose from fruit or fruit juice being associated with any pathology. Fiber slows the absorption of fructose.

HFCS55 in soft drinks correlates rather well. It started being used in the early 1970s. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease showed up about a decade later.

And I thought the evilness of fructose depended completely on dosage and context. I also thought the reviews and meta-analyses linked a high glycemic index diet to the same adverse effects as a diet high in low glycemic fructose....like obesity and diabetes.

It's interesting to note that NAFLD began showing up about the same time as the obesity epidemic.

I'm still waiting for you to sing the praises of HFCS 42, since it offers so much less fructose than the sucrose it replaces.
