    Try just glucose. Fructose is major contributor to imbalances in your body. (Seriously. It’s almost always converted to fat before being used in oxidative phosphorylation, and also can deplete your phosphate in large quantities, leading to a cascade that ends up with you having gout)

      Right. Fructose in moderation is typically no issue, but I feel for all the folks that switched to 100% agave syrup and kept a sugar-rich diet. Liver and kidney failure due to fat buildup if they were unlucky. Don’t remember where I read the study but it’s out there somewhere for those that want to search it up. Made me rethink what sugar replacements I use.

        It seems like every time I hear about sugar replacements they seem more dangerous than sugar itself
