As I understand it, some of the benefit of fructose is that it uses up or lowers ATP (deplete atp?) by releasing phosphate , and it increases thermogenesis, increasing the burning of glucose, and increases "uncoupling". this leads to being able to eat more without gaining weight, increased fat loss, etc.
However, for someone who already has low atp, and the things that go along with that which include low body weight, low bone mass, low t3, etc, should fructose be minimized in favor of more glucose? for someone with already low atp who's underweight, eating too much fruit tends to feel like it goes in the direction of malnutrition, and the cancer type of "wasting", while something like glucose feels more anabolic and it builds up. of course protein is needed to build up too, but even a high protein and high fruit diet feels like it wouldn't be as efficient for someone who needs more atp to use starch + protein instead. insulin is also highly involved with atp and T3, and fructose tends to block those anabolic actions that just eating more protein doesn't seem to fix. only sugar seems to work only if you supplement t3, which would take care of the problem to a large degree. that isn't an option for many people however
any ideas?
