IT’S ON THE LABEL –

Oct. 20, 2023 – Here, we review the various dietary hypotheses for obesity. We propose that all of the various hypotheses are largely correct, and that although they outwardly seem incompatible, that they can all be unified based on another hypothesis known as the fructose survival hypothesis.”

Fructose is a type of sugar that can naturally be found in fruit. Balanced by the vitamins and fiber therein, your daily apple, banana, and orange isn’t so much an issue. The body can also make small amounts of fructose from carbohydrates such as glucose, and salty food. Added to sweeteners such as table sugar and high fructose corn syrup in high quantities, concentrations of this particular sugar can quickly pile up in our diet, often without our realizing.

Johnson and his colleagues undertook an exhaustive study of all the known contributors to obesity, and found that the metabolism of fructose in the body causes a drop in a compound called adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which provides energy for your body’s cellular processes.
