Fructose and Liver Fat
Fructose and liver fat links added sugars and sweet drinks to liver fat production—whole fruit with fiber is not the same as soda or juice overload.
Fructose and liver fat ties high intakes of added fructose—sodas, juices, agave-heavy snacks, and some sports drinks—to de novo lipogenesis in the liver when consumed in surplus. Whole fruit with fiber behaves differently for most people than concentrated sweeteners.
Cutting liquid sugars is a high-leverage NAFLD step before exotic supplements.
Common questions
-
Is fruit bad for fatty liver?
Whole fruit in normal portions is usually fine; problems cluster with juices, smoothies with no fiber, and high daily added-fructose from sweetened drinks.
