Ok but this does not only apply to fructose. It applies equally well to glucose and fat/oil. Anything in excess can had dire consequences, including a lot of vitamins and minerals. Even water in excess can be bad for you.
When the messaging is centered around "carbs are bad" or "fructose is bad" it will lead people to believe that fruits are bad for you. I've seen several health channels on youtube recommend not eating more than the equivalent of one apple per day in terms of fruits.
- inglor_cz 5y agoGlucose can be processed by every single cell in human body. I don't think you can eat or even drink so much glucose that you overwhelm the capabilities of the entire body to cope with it. You will vomit sooner than that. While people can and do consume excessive amounts of fat/oil, we are somewhat protected by the fact that fat has a very strong satiating effect, which makes it a little harder to completely pig out. Fructose has no satiating effect at all. Generally, yes, anything in excess has dire consequences, but in some things those consequences manifest sooner than in others. Sweetened beverages as consumed today are very much a definition of excess: big packaging, a lot of sugar within, and their mass consumption is societally normalized.
- CuriousSkeptic 5y ago> Glucose can be processed by every single cell in human body. That processing hinges on a healthy insulin response to keep blood sugar levels in check. Which for a large part of the population is probably not the case. Again with a suitable amount of fibres to go with that glucose intake, the load can be levelled somewhat though.
