Dr John Sievenpiper Summary

Dr. John Sievenpiper, a professor at the University of Toronto who specializes in medicine, is a vocal critic of the anti-fructose group. His main argument is that there is no unique harm from fructose when calories remained the same or added to a controlled diet and the link to overweight obesity and diabetes. His findings or premise is that although biochemistry has shown that fructose is metabolized differently than glucose and could potentially promote fat and weight gain, the argument needs to be looked at further with regards to metabolism and calorie intake overall. An additional premise is that the concerns about fructose are fueled by speculation based on limited data, poorly designed observational and animal studies.
