Fructose: the silent enemy of your liver
Fructose, a sugar found in fruits, table sugar, agave syrup, and high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), is particularly harmful. Unlike glucose, fructose is not used directly by cells to produce energy. It is metabolized in the liver, where it overloads the organ and contributes to the accumulation of visceral fat.
Regular consumption of products containing HFCS, found in sodas, fruit juices, syrups, candies, and many processed foods, damages the liver in a similar way to alcohol. Furthermore, these products are often made from genetically modified corn treated with toxic herbicides.
