There is actual real data on how bad fructose is for us, in moderate to high amounts tho. And from what I’ve read and heard, it doesn’t seem debatable.
As a personal anecdote, I stopped adding honey to my 3 meals each day, and within a couple weeks my triglycerides went from 100 to 30. Which doesnt definitively prove that a moderate to high fructose intake is bad for us, but it does reinforce the things I’ve read and heard, and is what I expected to happen. I just didn’t think it would drop so much. Obv pleasantly surprised tho
as far as a standard lipid panel goes, a person‘s HDL to triglyceride ratio is the single most important predictor of their overall cardiovascular status/ risk. So a drop like that in triglycerides is absolutely huge
