Examining the Health Effects of Fructose.

The author reflects on the health effects of fructose. He argues that if high dose of fructose was toxic, then people consuming large amounts of fruits might experience adverse effects. According to him, the absence of harm from fruit consumption links to the slow digestion rate of fruit compared with a sugar-sweetened beverage that produces fructose concentrations. He opines that fructose in its natural form is not linked with adverse effects up to the limits of consumption.
