    Glucose by itself tastes sweet

    Glucose by itself is also very unhealthy

        Sure, but the fact remains that glucose is sweet.

        Unless you have FLD the vast majority of metabolic damage is from persistently elevated blood glucose. There is no dietary requirement for exogenous glucose in our food.

        So is 100g of fructose worse then 100g of glucose? Sure, but glucose is still quite bad and abundant in most people’s diets.

          This is true, we can make all the glucose we need without eating any sugar at all.

          glucose is still quite bad

          True.
