The fructose in fruit isn’t as easily absorbed due to fibre. Also there’s a natural limit to how much we can consume, no one eats 20 oranges in one sitting.
Nevertheless we are physically limited by our stomach capacity and would be very unlikely to consume bioavailable fructose at the rates made possible by industrial fructose such as HFCS.
@msage even that isn’t as hard on the liver as processed orange juice that has no fibre in it. But it’s the things that have extra fructose added into them that I would be wary of.
An Australian guy did a documentary where he ate the exact same number of calories he’d eaten before, and worked out just as much, but he went for food with added fructose. It’s really interesting.
So, is this an open door to scare people away from fruit?
@qyron fruit is healthy.

Unless they are looking for a serious case of the runs.
But I admit to have over indulged on this particular fruit more than once.
@qyron grapefruit is my particular achilles heel!

The runs? No. A run to the store to buy more Tums is more likely.
When in doubt, both!
That sounds like a challenge to me…
@FleetingTit I’m still haunted by that scene in Se7en where the guy has “striations” in his stomach from being forced to over eat.
So like freshly squeezed orange juice in large quantities?

Try fruit nectars. The entire fruit is used and water is added to dilute the puree to a more liquid state.
Just make sure there’s a bathroom available if you want to try prune nectar.
Yuck.
Peach, apricot, apple, pear…
Who was the sadist that created that?
