garland, just a small correction to what you’ve said: what is sold in stores as sugar is sucrose (a compound made of fructose and glucose, which the organism has to break down to the two components (and spend some energy in the process) to be able to absorb/metabolize them), and is structurally different from fructose. I totally agree that overindulgence in carbs is what made our society fat. A huge percentage of what we eat nowadays is derived from corn. We, Americans “snack” too much compared to the rest of the world.
