The study I want to see is the one where they compare consumption of processed
foods
sweetened with fructose to those sweetened with sucrose and THEN compare those
results to
consumption of naturally occuring sugars in fruits.
Additionally, I found the most fascinating thing about that article to be the
relative de-
emphasis on the elevation of triglyceride levels leading to increased risk of
cardiovascular
disease. It is a sad commentary on the level of thinking in our society that a
condition which
contributes to the leading cause of death in America gets buried deep down in
an article which
is more concerned with how we look. Granted, obesity is an increasingly
serious problem which
can also lead to life-threatening conditions, but to make the triglyceride
thing a mere footnote
is telling IMHO.
