“Fructose produced in the brain”

WHAT???

I thought this was about diet, as in what you eat.

Also I think the authors ought to revisit the natural metabolism of sugars. IIRC, a five carbon sugar, ie fructose, is part of everyday metabolism of sugar.

Been a minute since I paid attention to THAT process though...

Not inferring the best science from this article.

I'm in agreement with you.

I've a always believed that the "Good Book" held a very valuable TRUTH... "Moderation in ALL Things!"

Unfortunately, most people, in the way of eating, pay little or NO attention to it. They simply eat what tastes good... and inordinate amounts of it.

Without going back to review, I recall sucrose->glucose+fructose->2 x fructose 1,6 di-phosphate at the start of the TCA cycle. Last time I opened my Lehninger Biochemistry book was 1975.
