Um when they fed mice more fructose, they clearly saw more glycation that was reflected in the hemoglobin A1C.
The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
So you would see your hemoglobin A1C rise. I mean, that's the best metric that I'm aware of for glycation is like what is your hemoglobin A1C, which is in general kind of a poor metric of I think, you know, average blood sugar. but I do think that there's good evidence that A1C will show fructose glycation.
