(12,180 posts)I am more than a little cynical about so called science journalism. They tend to hype parts and ignore other parts of studies. It is shoddy science reporting that is one of the causes of widespread distrust of science.
Think about coffee - it is bad, it is good, it will kill you, it will increase your life (rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat infinitum. So people say, I dont know what to believe. They are all wrong.
It is my opinion that the overloading oof concentrated sources of fructose from excessive use of both sucrose and high fructose corn syrup is decreasing the health of people. I had a history of high triglycerides. Years ago I read a study on a drug being tested to lower triglycerides. They used Wistar fatty rats and gave them a 10% solution of fructose for their water to cause them to have high triglycerides.
Hello, does high consumption of fructose cause elevated triglycerides in some people?
