So you can eat a natural fruit and you won't get any fructose to your liver, you know, because it's all removed by the intestine. And it's really in the liver where it controls this metabolic syndrome. And so if you just eat occasional fruit, you're going to get all the good things in the fruit. Phytonutrients. Yeah, vitamin C. Fiber. Potassium, fiber, and all these things are good.

And actually, vitamin C and flavanols and all these things, potassium, they actually counter the effects of fructose. So we actually did studies where we put animals or people on a low fructose diet and we supplemented them with natural fruits. So they were getting back fructose, but only in the form of fruit, not in the form of refined sugars.

And they lost weight and they did well, just as well as the people who did not get the natural fruit supplements.

So fruit juice. So fruit juice is where you take multiple fruit, you juice it, you get rid of some of the pulp and the fiber, and you end up with a drink that often has like three or four fruits in it. And so instead of having three or four grams of fructose, now it can have maybe have 20, 20 grams of fructose. And now it's similar to like a fruit, like a soft drink and, you know, apple juice.

I love apple juice, but it's not good for you because there's a lot of sugar in it, a lot of fructose, and it will trigger the switch. It will trigger this this activation.

so um so i don't recommend fruit juice so anyway so you know the first discovery was that fructose was diff different from glucose or from other foods that it really dropped the energy in the cell and that this uh and that this activated an alarm signal that triggered metabolic syndrome the second discovery though was that there are other ways you can make fructose you can make fructose and some of them are from high glycemic carbs and salty foods

And and then we realized that if you ate a lot of those foods, you could get into trouble, too. And so but it all related to fructose, because if we blocked fructose metabolism, animals could eat salt and they wouldn't get fat. They would. They could eat salty foods. They could eat processed foods, you know. But and so it turned out to be fructose.
