"Excessive fructose consumption can disrupt insulin sensitivity, paving the way for insulin resistance and the development of type 2 diabetes. It's like a key that doesn't fit the lock anymore, leading to a cascade of metabolic issues." - Dr. Robert Lustig

 

"Fructose, unlike other sugars, doesn't trigger the same satiety signals in the brain. This leaves us feeling unsatisfied and more prone to continuous snacking, contributing to the cycle of weight gain and obesity." - Dr. Mark Thompson, Nutritionist

 

"High fructose intake can trigger inflammation and oxidative stress in the brain, both of which are key players in the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. It's like throwing fuel on the fire of cognitive decline." - Dr. Maria Johnson, Neuroscientist

 

According to experts, including the American Heart Association, women should consume no more than 6 teaspoons (25 grams) of added sugars per day, while men should limit their intake to 9 teaspoons (38 grams). Sadly, the reality is quite different. On average, Americans consume around 17 teaspoons of added sugars every day, which is more than double the recommended limit. Harvard says that 4.2, or 4 if rounded, grams of sugar equals one teaspoon of sugar.
