That's a great question! The article

says high levels of fructose. "The data in

humans are less clear."

It will take time to digest this information,

(ahem). It's not intuitive because of the circular mechanism of leptin,

insulin, and hunger. Would someone on CRON consume high levels of

fructose unless they supplement or ate exclusive furit and Pepsi

(or Coke)? One just has to think there is a difference in effect between

a soda pop sweetened by high fructose corn syrup and an

apple.

This study was published in 2002 and other

studies have followed.

Scroll to the bottom and you will find another 11

follow up or related studies.

<perspect1111@...>Hi :Well if it is true

that: "fructose consumption induces insulin resistance

suggesting one should be cautious about how much fruit one

eats?(Isn't 'fructose' supposed to be 'fruit

sugar'?)Rodney.

From what I read these days, high levels of fructose (or high fructose fruits)

are to be avoided. But when uses fructose in his meals, we don't

know whether it's a high amount, or if he has small amounts spread out through

out the day. I ASSumed the latter because he is on a CR plan. Also noted

was some fiber intake. As Jeff recently pointed out, disrupted fiber is

still better than no fiber with respect to blood glucose & insulin response.

The micro details about his food/supplement protocol aren't known ... but

at least the improvement in his conditions seem to be a good sign.
