It’s gotten to the point that I see news like this, and I don’t think “hurray; we monkeys have learned more, which will help us improve our lifestyles and help people”.

Aye, lad - me, too. And further, why fructose and not sucrose? I assume it’s because domestic sugar producers are protected against foreign competition by our lovely legislators (cough! lamposts! cough!).
