Glucose & Fructose generate free radicals, but Fructose does it 7 times faster.
A short spoken monologue describing how the Maillard reaction and sugar metabolism produce reactive oxygen species (ROS). The speaker asserts that fructose generates ROS about seven times faster than glucose, which can cause cellular dysfunction and death unless quenched by antioxidants located in peroxisomes. The speaker briefly notes dietary antioxidant sources (rejects orange juice, endorses berries) and mentions mitochondrial dysfunction.
