Re:Smoothies and fruit juices are a new risk to health by vanderZwan on Sunday September 08, 2013 @11:30AM (#6349014)
You are grossly oversimplifying a complicated process of digesting food and its interaction with the overal metabolism of the body. Yes, calories play a factor, but also in what form you ingest them. Then there's genetic factors, gut bacteria, physical exercise and probably a whole slew of other things that interact with each other.

The article oversimplify the topic too. Saying that fructose is bad is oversimplying the reality.

Metabolism plays a very important role and even if it's really complex, fructose is very good for the metabolism (glucose is inferior in that regard).
