Figure 7.

Experimental fructose dose (%E, percentage of total energy) in representative human and animal studies claiming adverse fructose effects versus Marriott’s 50th and 95th percentile fructose intake estimates. Most experimental doses exceed even the 95th percentile for human fructose intake. Few Americans consume the levels of fructose being tested, and fewer still consume these levels in the absence of glucose. Extreme dosing protocols drastically alter glucose-to-fructose (G:F) ratios and promote a distorted view of fructose metabolism.
