The 2nd paper is not a study - it is theory based on other studies and the 'in theory' metabolism of fructose - and it is jaw dropping.It proves nothing either.  Its main findings are based upon fructose intakes beyond what most people consume. As mentioned - isotope studies show the fate of fructose. It does not potentiate de novo lipogenesis and it does not promote adiposity, It does not raise blood sugars in the way glucose does eitherI was once very interested in fructose, its potential as a unregulated source of NEFA, was interesting to me. However real studies looking at its metabolism show that unless consumed in quantities far exceeding what we currently ingest - it is not the smoking gun that people such as Lustig argue that it is. It is good that you are so interested in this stuff, if I was Diabetic I would never stop trying to understand it.There is a lot of grey areas with diabetes management and we are not there yet with the optimal dietary approach to its management or even, to stop its aetiology. But I am certain that fructose is not where we should be looking</blockquote>
