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.
