Sugar is the only food on the planet that is made up of carbohydrate + fat. Even fatty foods like guacamole, coconut and olives don’t contain any carbs. Sugar is composed of glucose and fructose, these together is what causes people to gain weight rapidly. Every organ in our body metabolizes glucose while our liver only metabolizes fructose. This causes us to build up on liver fat, which shows up in our “problem” areas. Fructose is the equivalent to alcohol in the way that it turns into fat cells.
Fructose causes all of the following:
- Liver fat, insulin resistance decreases, weight gain, high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer, dementia and diabetes.
Our body is able to use fructose or alcohol for energy if the people eating them have regular exercise routines. The trick behind all of the “low-fat” products is that they increase the sugar count to make up for the lost in taste.
