Fructose bad or good?

Fructose is most heavily industry used sweetener in world, but is it good for you? Answer is simple NO.
Stay away from fructose it is simple as that.

There are many drinks marketed as low glycemic index (it does not elevate levels of blood sugar, which in return does not raise levels of powerful hormone insuline, and it does not make you fat, or at least that is way it is marketed) drinks, loaded with fructose, truth is quite opposite.
Fructose can actually lead to insulin disfunction and to type 2 diabetes.
It can also (and it does) lead to higher LDL, VLDL (toxic fat) levels in blood, which could lead to heart attack.

Fructose gets its name from natural source of it, fruits. While fruits have fructose it is not the same that you will get in soft drinks. Why?, because fruit is loaded with enzymes that will help your body to use fructose properly and digest it in right way, while industry made corn starch fructose is deprived of any kind of enzymes and vitamines that are needed for body to use fructose properly.

Fructose in self makes you high level of bad cholesterol, without much needed enzymes you will end up with clogged veins and arteries.

So in conclusion what should you be aware:
  avoid industry made corn starch fructose that is present in most soft drinks, and many other products, just start to read labels on products and if you see fructose, avoid it or consume in moderation, you are better off without fructose if you care about health in particular about diabates and heart health.
Even if you don't care about health if you care about your looks fructose can make you and will make you fat.
