But I'm sure you accept that your personal consumption of carbs and fructose is NOT TYPICAL.
Excessive fructose intake ( more than 50 g/d) is probably the cause of Type 2 Diabetes.
The amounts you are talking about are trivial but the message that the average reader needs to understand is that typically the average US diet involves 66g/d of HFCS.
That is the total amount sold divided by the total population.
I don't think most people have any idea that they are consuming anywhere like that amount of fructose daily.
