Short video excerpt of Dr. Richard Johnson explaining that dietary fructose promotes metabolic dysfunction (via raised uric acid) independent of excess caloric intake. He describes animal (rat) experiments where caloric intake was restricted yet high-sugar groups still developed metabolic effects such as insulin resistance, hypertension, and fatty liver due to fructose-driven mitochondrial and uric acid-mediated pathways.
