I cut fructose out (except for whole fruit). I still eat white carbs like pasta and bread. But nothing with sucrose or fructose.

And I'm down 100lbs in a year so far. Another 50 to go.

Dr. Lustig's talk which is on YouTube I found just after taking a basic biology course in community college. Seeing the actual metabolism process in the liver between glucose, alcohol and fructose really hit home. Fructose is a poison and should be a controlled substance just like alcohol.
