Fructose is twice as sweet as Glucose, and while we do use Glucose for energy the same is not true for fructose, and fructose is way way more harmful.

    Sure, but the fact remains that glucose is sweet.

    Unless you have FLD the vast majority of metabolic damage is from persistently elevated blood glucose. There is no dietary requirement for exogenous glucose in our food.

    So is 100g of fructose worse then 100g of glucose? Sure, but glucose is still quite bad and abundant in most people's diets.
