The combination of studies out there show that Fructose can do bad things, so High-Fructose is even worse.

And I agree that cutting out gluten will not help most people other than the fact that it will probably lower the amount of carbs that those people are eating. There is a small percentage of society that has gluten intolerance, and it obviously helps them. And gluten-free products have, literally, been a life saver for a friend of mine who has a very serious allergic (we're talking anaphylactic) to wheat products.

Article 1: They fail to state how much they fed the rats, as far as I can tell, but the rats more than doubled their weights in 24 weeks. I don't think that this should be extended to people.

Article 2: I'll look at this shortly because I really should be working, but hey.

Article 3: The rats ate two thirds of their calories for two weeks as pure fructose. I'm not sure that it's valid to extend these results to anything resembling a normal human diet.

EDIT: re: article 2: cf. response to article 3.
