We already knew that an excess of fructose was bad for the liver, but today a group of researchers from Princetown University explains how it is possible that an excess of fructose “fattens” the liver , causing the so-called non-alcoholic streatosis, but also insulin -resistance and finally diabetes, as well as obesity.
Fructose, we know, is the sugar of fruit . So are researchers telling us that eating fruit puts us at risk for diabetes and fatty liver? No. Indeed. They made the appropriate distinctions between moderate fructose consumption and excessive fructose consumption , because they discovered an interesting thing: excess fructose is metabolized differently than moderate fructose consumption.Therefore fruit should not be demonized, unless you eat a kilo a day.
But how does one get to excess fructose in the diet?
Fructose _ is a monosaccharide type sugar that we find mainly in honey, molasses, maple syrup, fruit, also dehydrated and in fruit juices (among natural sources) but also in all sweetening products (industrial) that contain syrup corn, honey and glucose-fructose syrup as main sugars. That is: biscuits, fruit yogurt, fruit juices and drinks, some brands of plant milk, breakfast cereals, snacks, sweet snacks and bars, but also salty snacks and some salty products may contain fructose. Fructose, given its low glycemic index, was once a widely recommended sugar in diabetic nutrition.
It has only recently been discovered how wrong it is to use fructose to sweeten. 
But let’s see it with the words and images of the researchers. (CONTINUED ON PAGE TWO)
