Even when matched for fructose content, high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is more damaging than table sugar because the fructose is 'free' and not bound to glucose, leading to worse fatty liver.

Fructose can activate a biological switch that triggers a program for the body to gain weight, independent of its caloric value.

If you don't feed your gut bacteria with dietary fiber, they will resort to eating the protective mucus layer of your intestine for food, causing inflammation.

Fructose acts as a 3-in-1 mitochondrial toxin by inhibiting three separate enzymes that your mitochondria need to produce energy.

Fructose is seven times more potent than glucose at causing glycation, the harmful process of sugar binding to proteins which contributes to wrinkles and disease.

Taking even a 15-minute walk after eating dinner will dramatically blunt the subsequent sugar and insulin spikes.

Insulin resistance is an ancient survival mechanism that helps shunt glucose to the brain, but it becomes a problem when chronically activated by our modern diet.

When you eat sugar, your resting energy metabolism slows down, meaning your body burns fewer calories at rest.
