Scott Harding

Scott Harding, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Nutritional Biochemistry whose research explores dietary sugars and public health policies. He discusses the unique metabolism of fructose and its rumored link to obesity and diabetes. The conversation emphasizes that risks associated with fructose largely depend on context and quantity. Harding explains how public perceptions have shifted as newer studies provide clarity, urging a focus on overall dietary patterns rather than demonizing individual nutrients, even those found in fruits.
