Comment on Major Study Claims to Identify The Root Cause of Obesity: Fructose
java@beehaw.org 1 year agoNo, the study is talking about other sources of fructose:

Though the study doesn’t say that fructose is the root cause of obesity from what I see (search doesn’t work properly there). I’m not sure if in such a complex mechanism as a human body a single cause of obesity can exist. Additionally, our bodies differ and single mutation can change the outcome.
I overstepped on my comment but after years of being vehiculated as an healthy sugar, this is the kind of title capable of triggering that sort of thought.
And agreed. It may be a part of the problem but it is risky to say this or that is the root of the obesity problem.

The title is so misleading that it borders on lying.
The root cause of all obesity everywhere is not fructose. That implies that if you don’t eat fructose or generate fructose, you will not be obese. Fructose might be contributing factor to obesity, but it is hardly a root cause or “the” root cause.
