For anyone still naive enough to think that sugar doesn’t negatively impact metabolic health and accelerate diseases like cancer and dementia, here’s an excellent presentation by Dr. Richard Johnson:

I’m not sure who is funding these communications by the Mayo Clinic, but obfuscation about the primary causes (chicken or egg) aren’t helpful. The culprit, as Johnson explains is fructose and the fructose pathway, recently clarified in research. Depending on one’s phenotype, you can experience metabolic derangement whether obese or slim if this pathway is unnecessarily turned on with frequency. While some think you can simply cut back on fruit, fructose is found everywhere (table sugar, anything with HFCS, alcohol, etc.) and the pathway can even be turned on by salt. Consumer beware.
