Sugar is 50% fructose and 50% glucose. The user you mention advocates for a higher amount of fruit which has mostly fructose so my take on this is that he prefers his pancreas over his liver.



Eating whole fruit means you consume fiber at the same time as the sugar, so the latter is metabolized more safely.


Eating whole cake means you consume fat at the same time as the sugar, so the latter is metabolized more safely.


Could you liquidize the cake and still get that benefit?
