I mean it's not as if we're not aware that we're #1 in otbisey but infographics like this are less meaningful when you don't look at our overall consumption of food. More disgusting is that the bottom 4/5ths of that dumpster is a sloshing mess of corn syrup. That dumpster of sugar would be parked behind an apartment tenement made of chicken pork and beef. I'd be much more interested in how many dumpsters we fill of ingredients that don't occur in nature, red dye, preservatives, artificial flavoring, MSG, reconstituted food products.

What do you think of her analysis of the effect on the gut bacteria and lining of consuming polysaccharides (of which sucrose is one, but not fructose)?

This article should really be titled "Fructose 101". Fructose acts differently in the absence of glucose. So you can't compare studies using pure fructose (which we rarely consume) to the foods we do eat that contain sucrose or HFCS. The 'extra' fructose in HFCS is not significant compared to sucrose. You are absolutely correct: We should be consuming less added sugars in general, but singling out HFCS is misguided. Using Agave as an alternate sugar is really misguided if anyone is concerned about fructose (since it is about 75% fructose).
