No, actually it's not the calories that are different it's the fact that the only organ in your body that can take up fructose is your liver. Glucose, the standard sugar, can be taken up by every organ in the body, only 20% of glucose load ends up at your liver. So let's take 120 calories of glucose, that's two slices of white bread as an example, only 24 of those 120 calories will be metabolised by the liver, the rest of it will be metabolised by your muscles, by your brain, by your kidneys, by your heart etc. directly with no interference. Now let's take 120 calories of orange juice, same 120 calories but now 60 of those calories are going to be fructose because fructose is half of sucrose and sucrose is what's in orange juice. So it's going to be all the fructose, that's 60 calories plus 20% of the glucose, so that's another 12 out of 60 - so in other words 72 out of the 120 calories will hit the liver, three times the substrate as when it was just glucose alone.


just a little quote form this article

Fructose is one of the worst sugars for weight loss, really bad for insulin resistance, lactose needs to be converted in your liver as well. Havn't read article yet, will soon.

Hey Jojo I just read that whole article this morning, its very interesting. Of course the sweet tooth in me ponders.. I wonder if it would still be the same story if we replace sugar and HFS with glucose LOL
