A new study which claims that fructose may play a unique role in the development of obesity and diabetes is limited by several study flaws, including contradicting research, exaggerated consumption levels, small sample size and reliance on animal research. In the 21-person study “Fructose ingestion acutely stimulates circulating FGF21 levels...

In the review, researchers considered evidence from 27 observation and intervention studies that considered the association between fructose...
