What’s so bad about fructose?
|
|
Why having a sweet tooth may be the new alcoholism
|
|
It naturally occurs in fruits as well as in
honey and cereals. It’s 1.2 to 1.8 times sweeter than table
sugar—meaning you need less and consume fewer calories to achieve
the same sweetness—and is cheaper and has a longer shelf life.
Fruit juices, herbal iced-teas, natural “sugar-free” fruit jams
and other self-proclaimed health foods have it. So too do most
processed foods—from soft drinks to hotdogs to hotdog buns. It’s
fructose and it is ubiquitous.
But as a growing number of doctors allege, just
like alcohol, excessive amounts of fructose can also damage your
liver and turn it into a fatty mess. And just like alcohol, they
contend that it can hook you into craving for more.
