Sure but the effects aren't all that different.
- benaadams 9y agoVery different; glucose is metabolized by all cells in the body; fructose only by the liver. Fructose isn't good for you (or sucrose 50% fructose, high fructose corn syrup 42%-65% fructose etc) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM But its sweeter than glucose; and has side-effects like switching of appetite suppression and prolonged exposure does similar damage to the liver as alcohol. Glucose doesn't do that.
- rand_r 9y agoThey actually are quite different. Glucose is directly usable by every cell in your body, whereas fructose has to be processed by the liver. There are no adverse health effects from taking pure glucose. Here is a good video explaining it in more detail: https://youtu.be/dBnniua6-oM https://youtu.be/dBnniua6-oM
- cup-of-tea 9y ago> There are no adverse health effects from taking pure glucose. Most people shouldn't be taking glucose. People should get their energy from food so that they get the nutrients and fibre with it. For most people taking glucose means either you'll get too much energy (and get fat) or not enough nutrients from real food. On top of that it causes a strong insulin response which will decrease insulin sensitivity.
