An extent? Was anything claimed not actually true?
If you consume an excess of calories no matter what the food you'll gain weight, so that seems like pointless pedantry.
- nradov 5y agoPlease go back and read my comment, and the linked pages, more carefully. Obviously a positive energy balance will result in weight gain. The issue is that excess fructose will specifically cause fat gain as opposed to gains in other types of tissue. Other nutrients don't activate the same metabolic pathway. This is a crucial distinction and not pedantry.
- throwawaylinux 5y agoI read your comment and one of the linked pages was a summary (and I'm not listening to the 2 hour discussion) and the other behind a paywall. Are you claiming that a large excess of calories due to consumption of which other nutrients than fructose does not cause adipose tissue increase? Because that would be pretty astounding. Can you copy a verbatim quote from the scientific american article (or timestamp from the video) that supports this?
