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.
eating fruit and honey is not harmful for humans and doesn't seem to physiologically cause excess levels of glycation in us if you're looking for some substantiation of that statement I would direct your attention to this meta-analysis which shows that total fructose containing sugars had no harmful effect on any outcome in substitution or subtraction studies with a decrease seen in hemoglobin A1c in substitution studies
I don't think there's any solid evidence that it happens at all. There's actually evidence that fructose decreases hemoglobin A1c in humans.
