Fructose is in food and beverages at higher levels than other dietary choices. It is not processed anywhere in the body except for the liver. It is a pretty safe bet that drinking clean water in place of a soda is guaranteed to be better for your health than consuming sugars (sucrose, fructose, and glucose). You can reduce the chance of Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, diabetes, dental disease and dehydration when you choose to Gulpwater®.

Water to drink is all around us in bottles, drinking fountains and right from the faucet. Reach for clean water next time you are thirsty and you will be helping your own health each and every time - guaranteed. 

Metabolic Effects of Fructose and the Worldwide Increase in Obesity

From http://physrev.physiology.org/content/90/1/23.full

Abstract

While virtually absent in our diet a few hundred years ago, fructose has now become a major constituent of our modern diet. Our main sources of fructose are sucrose from beet or cane, high fructose corn syrup, fruits, and honey. Fructose has the same chemical formula as glucose (C6H12O6), but its metabolism differs markedly from that of glucose due to its almost complete hepatic extraction and rapid hepatic conversion into glucose, glycogen, lactate, and fat. Fructose was initially thought to be advisable for patients with diabetes due to its low glycemic index. However, chronically high consumption of fructose in rodents leads to hepatic and extrahepatic insulin resistance, obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and high blood pressure.
