I would then say that if fruit juice is slower than say fructose/glucose in coke for example that the fruit juice is still better? Must give your body more time and less stress in dealing with the sugar. I dunno, getting mixed up now.
Read one thing and it says all sugars are the same, then another says natural is better but fructose causes cholesterol levels to increase (probably why marketplace was right afterall on the plant sterols thing, no point taking plant sterols and drinking tons of sugar that causes cholesterol problems) then another says avoid glucose altogether but fructose is fine.
I'd just be sensible, I prefer fruit juice and water to coke and only drink coke every so often these days (lost weight doing so aswell)
And yeah probably right about the mercury
