The most major finding, which appears to be this:
> The study found that fructose initiates a process that causes the liver to keep making glucose and raising blood glucose levels, even as insulin tries to keep glucose production in check.
Is not ground-breaking. It's how the liver metabolizes fructose. The liver can't respond to insulin because it needs to metabolize the fructose.
