Every time God plays dice with the universe, it seems to be that same scientist talking about it.

Maybe it's always Robert Lustig because he's the name people already recognize. Maybe he's the one doing most of the research in the area. Sometimes, the public need a figurehead to keep explaining something to us until we get it.

Sure. Like the guy who said smoking is bad for you, or the guys who said excessive fat and cholesterol are bad for you. They stood up to Big Agro and fought the good fight. Who were those guys again?

Attention economy, power law distribution of links.

A simple googling of "fructose daily consumption" (or equiv) yields zillions of links. It's not like Lustig is a lone wolf.
