    "Although examples of pure fructose causing metabolicupset at high concentrations abound, especially when fed asthe sole carbohydrate source, there is no evidence that thecommon fructose-glucose sweeteners do the same. Thus, studies using extreme carbohydrate diets may be useful for probing biochemical pathways, but they have no relevance to the human diet or to current consumption"

    The point was that they're metabolized differently, which is true. If you want to try and argue that the difference in metabolism is not important, then be my guest. But you'll have to do better then that quote.

    Some years ago, a woman gave me heck when she saw me eating watermelon. I'm diabetic, and she told me her husband, also a diabetic, had been told not to eat really sweet fruits like melon. So I asked my doctor. He said any fruit, IN MODERATION, is fine. It's like anything else. Overeat anything, and you will gain weight or see your blood glucose spike. I eat 2-3 servings of ruit every day. My glucose readings are excellent and my A1C blood tests (for diabetics) are well within the normal range.

    Oh, and so far on MFP, I've lost 8 pounds in a month. I consider that to be pretty good.

    ^^This. Moderation is key.
