Some calories are not equal to others. Eating comparatively more fructose at some point in your life for which your body cannot handle would appear to permanently make your body pull more energy from your food intake.

Yes, you actually can become more fat from the same amount of food. On the positive side, it might be responsible for fewer trips to the toilet.

There were articles about this at least 10 years ago.

Maybe now some health conscious people will pay attention

I am thinking that it would be an interesting treatment to counter the process described in the article. Perhaps some smart person will figure it out in my lifetime. Till then I am stuck with low carb and fasting.

Back in the day soda was sweetened with cane sugar. Not HFCS.

What common foods contain the most fructose?

I’m sure I need to be avoiding this as I get older.

"There are already drugs in clinical trials for other purposes that target the enzyme responsible for producing fructose-1-phosphate," said Dr. Goncalves. "We're hoping to find a way to repurpose them to shrink the villi, reduce fat absorption, and possibly slow tumor growth."

In nutshell we see the error of modern Pharma. A drug is the cure. They even admit that the problem is eating too much fructose, but they won't tell people to stop consuming fructose; apparently they want people to keep right on with the fructose because they can sell anti fructose treatments.

So the question needs to be asked, what gave rise to “big corn?”

America grows a lot of corn, and we use it to make expensive car-fuel (ethanol) and we use it to replace sugar, making us fat.

Strangely, glucose and maltose (two glucose molecules in one) would be sweeteners that would not have fructose, but, unfortunately, the study seems to show that even these would be absorbed up to 40% more, once the aggravating fructose event happens with our intestinal villi.

And our food supply is flooded with high-fructose corn syrup. High-fructose corn syrup is in EVERYTHING today.

This is intentional. Along with soy lechtin and MSG. They are intentionally creating a toxic food supply. I suspect this is to keep us chronically ill and dependent on drugs and medical treatments. Big Medicine is behind this and has donated to politicians to drench our food supply in high-fructose corn syrup and soy lechtin.

We are really screwed.

Almost all the sweeteners are loaded with fructose (or sucrose that is half fructose). Honey, agave, etc, they’re all about half fructose. The clear Karo brand corn syrup is straight glucose — no fructose. It’s the only sweetener in the store that is fructose free.

High fructose corn syrup (glucose and fructose) is the same as corn syrup (just glucose). HFCS has had some of its glucose turned into fructose.

Don’t talk to me about the bizarre sweeteners like mannitol, saccharine, stevia, etc. They’re worse than fructose.

I’ve found that I have keep my carbs low in general. No more big portions of bread, pasta, potatoes, etc.

Getting more nutrition from food sounds like a great therapy for African starvation.

Typical ‘modern’ medicine solution. Instead of doing something simple, like adjusting one’s diet away from sugary foods, there will be a pill one can take. A pill that will no doubt have a long list of side-effects.

Sort of related, but foods high in fructose are potential trigger foods on the FODMAP diet for IBS.

FODMAP stands for Fermentable, Oligo-, Di-, Mono-saccharides And Polyols, and consists of groups of certain types of carbohydrates that are thought to trigger GI symptoms. I have been following this diet for 3 years now and have been able to keep my IBS at bay (mostly). A trigger for me not listed are the seed oils - cottonseed, etc. Olive oil does not.
