why is this downvoted ? do people not understand that water is wet, or that large amounts of sugar is bad for you ? sand is considered sandy, so why wouldnt water be considered wet ?

It's downvoted because the research is much more nuanced than "too much sugar bad". And because those kinds of comments reek of know-it-all attitude through oversimplification.

Not this one.

It is already specifically about fructose. That in itself is a distinction that is swiftly overlooked in the comments. Not to mention that what is discussed is more about the action of the substance, and not necessarily the amount.

Lemmy got redditized, that's why.
