Fructose doesn’t also stimulate the satiety hormones unless it gets converted into glucose first, which only a portion of it does. So you’re hungrier on a fructose diet than a glucose diet.
And a metabolic pathway to process it in the liver can lead to fatty liver disease.
But let’s put it in all our food and drinks.

Your body can make all the glucose it requires.

Here is what I don't get: Why does eating a fruit enhance the ability to search for fruit?
If you imagine a person starving then they need food. So currently they don't have this enhanced searching ability, so they fail and starve. And a different person finds a tree with fruit and now they can find another tree with fruit, BUT they already have one?!
So for me it makes more sense to have the starving person forget everything else and focus on searching and the non-starving person can rest.
What I'm trying to say is, how do the researchers know that this is a foraging adaption pathway?

Or perhaps people with such behavioral patterns idly check their phones more.
Causation is an enormous and unwarranted leap. The correlation is interesting and valuable, but that's still all it is.

I’d probably fall asleep for that study.

I can't digest fructose. American food is already a landmine.

The first few times it does. Once you’ve learned “how to drive” it doesn’t make you as anxious.
Also social situations definitely turn up the anxiety so I would recommend doing it alone at home.

I really dislike the taste of them myself. I wonder if they were used in mass produced food items they could somehow fix the flavour.
