Thanks, this article makes sense. Glucose is absolutely essential for life, fructose is not. Fructose metabolism produces fat, normal amounts of glucose (from starch) produce glycogen (energy storage) or enter glycolysis for production of ATP. There is a big difference between calories from sugar and calories from starch. I've found this out personally, from years of dieting.

I’m with you, I now STAY CLEAR of High Fructose Corn Syrup like the plague. I just feel like an IDIOT for not figuring that out sooner.

Glucose is absolutely essential for life"

Serum glucose is absolutely essential for life. Dietary glucose is not.

The body is perfectly capable of manufacturing all the glucose it needs from protein and fat.
