For fellow medfags, here's some evidence I have found that fructose may be just slightly worse, or may lack mechanisms regulating satiety and fat storage

>Fat produced in the liver isn't regulated or stored in the same way as the fat from glucose.

>To sum up, fructose does increase intra-abdominal fat gain, decrease insulin sensitivity and increase cholesterol in overweight and obese people more than glucose — but glucose still increases fat and increases cholesterol.
