I would say that you still want SOME fructose to refill liver stores, perhaps in the post solid meal, you agree w/that LAM?

Your body will use your post workout carbs to refill both muscle and liver stores. Frustose is just a poor sugar overall...one that not only does not refill muscle glycogen, but also is easily converted to triglycerides in the liver.

If someone does not wish to use dextrose, some good choices are white rice, white potato, rice cakes, white grits, plain corn flakes, even white bread.

If you are eating fruit as part of you diet that is fine. but there is no good reason to intentionally fill liver glycogen by using fructose. your body will do that on it's own from your complex carbohydrate intake. remember when you eat carbs what serum glucose is not uptaken in skeletal muscle will either be oxidized for energy or pushed back into the liver by insulin. and if liver glycogen is full that's when spill over occurs and fat gain...
