I'm kindda split on the whole fructose issue. I do take limited amounts of fructose during my carb-up and it doesn't seem to affect my fat loss at all. I don't think its the leptin factor at work as i get very little fructose. You are correct however that Leptin can be raised using other methods, like insane overfeeding, something close 3000-4000cals in ~5 hours for a 165# person, but i still enjoy fruit and oatmeal with apples and cinnamon is good.

I wasn't telling everybody on here to start eating HFCS or anything, but just offering a not-so-well-known fact. Don't want to start a debate as i still do believe that fructose isn't the greatest sugar around, but i don't know why we should avoid it like the plague. I doubt minute amounts will affect fat loss.
