But sugar is not bad for you, not even fructose.<p>I recommend on reevaluating that position by reading the article below. Robert Lustig is a liar and a scaremonger.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;anthonycolpo.com&#x2F;sweet-stupidity-part-2-the-bitter-truth-about-robert-lustigs-anti-sugar-claims&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;anthonycolpo.com&#x2F;sweet-stupidity-part-2-the-bitter-tr...</a><p><i>In 2009, the same year Lustig gave his lecture, there was indeed significant consumption of fructose in the Japanese diet. Anyone with an Internet connection can easily verify as much for themselves by visiting the Food and Agriculture (FAO) website, and checking the per capita intake of sweeteners in Japan for that year. Do that, and you’ll see the Japanese were averaging 52 calories per day from fruits, and a far more significant 174 calories daily from sugar. “Sweeteners, Other” and “Honey” supplied another 86 cals&#x2F;day.<p>So just from sugar alone, the Japanese were obtaining 22 grams, or 4.4 teaspoons, of fructose per day. The Japanese do indeed eat fructose-containing sugar, and have been doing so for hundreds of years.</i>
