So that's the alternative to scholarly journals Harvard's been looking for! Youtube comments!
Someone else posted this guy's comment (real guy, apparently, funny coincidence he's called Richard Feinman), so here's the reply:
"Hi Richard, Maybe you could update the Wikipedia entry on Fructose then? It's here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fructose http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fructose . I know it says glucose can be metabolized anywhere in the body, but fructose needs to be trapped in the liver first. So it is handled by the liver, just like alcohol. Also mentioned is how it doesn't trigger insulin, like glucose, nor leptin, and doesn't decrease ghrelin - this means it is sort of invisible calories to the body, it doesn't make you feel full like glucose. Surely you agree that a sugar that makes you feel full is different from a sugar that doesn't when it comes to people living healthy lives? There are a lot of links to studies on weight gain, fatty liver disease, metabolic syndrome, and insulin resistance there as well."
