Some of the topics we go over are: 1. What is fructose? 2. How is it metabolized differently from glucose in the body? 3. What started the fear for fructose consumption? 4. Is there a difference between fructose consumed from food and pure fructose consumption? 5. What does the evidence show for fructose consumption in regards to liver health and fat loss?
