[QUOTE="AdamJames, post: 1803471, member: 459333"] I think the fact that only the liver can metabolise fructose is very interesting, but I'm still not sure what that makes fructose bad in small amounts. And that's exactly my question: is it bad in small amounts, such as one pear a day? Also, if just before going on a walk? It seems to me that it goes straight to the liver, where it then gets converted to glycogen, not fat, unless your liver is already stocked full of glycogen. So assuming (and I don't know if this is true) that the liver is a last-in-first-out storage thing, then you are going to be using up that glycogen pretty readily. In some ways it may be kinder to blood sugar levels because it has to go through the middle-man of the liver before, from there, being released slowly as glucose. [/QUOTE]
