Your body needs glucose for basic metabolic functions, but fructose can be somewhat problematic because fructose bypasses the rate limiting step of glycolysis. Thus, it is broken down quicker, raises the blood sugar levels higher, which leads to more insulin release to counteract it and ultimately, more fat and glycogen storage.

Pretty sure i read fructose does NOT stimulate insulin response and is processed mainly by the liver. When liver is full, you getz fat.
