Interesting but odd about glucose. I wonder if humans work in the same way. Robert Lustig is passionate that fructose is the primary cause of diabetes.

And of course WW and Slimming World push unlimited fruit (i.e. loads of fructose). Interestingly a friend was told by their GP to be wary of excessive fructose and calories on the WW diet.

And yet Dr's are referring people to SW & WW!

The friend I referred to has been prescribed both WW and SW but may be their GP is more worried about a BMI over 35!
