if the levels of fructose in your blood go up with consumption you will see this reflected in your hemoglobin A1c and your fructosamine

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

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.
when you feed mammals excess fructose you see a rise in both hemoglobin A1c and fructose
when you feed rats tons of fructose you see increases in fructosamine and hemoglobin A1c so I think that if you're worried about fructose glycation those will be reflected in fructosamine and hemoglobin A1c in your blood work I don't think those are a problem
fructose also binds to hemoglobin but it does not bind at position one therefore you don't measure it in hemoglobin a1c so it binds at positions 66 and 110 now the hemoglobin a1c assay is not set up to look at 66 and 110 this requires a major research lab
