Message: <blockquote data-quote="Robbity" data-source="post: 1973006" data-attributes="member: 93179">My understanding (for what it's worth) is that our livers can handle small quantities of fructose reasonably well and these can be converted into glycogen and stored for future use. It's the overconsumption of fructose that's the issue as the liver has limited glycogen storage capabilities but far greater fat storage ones and this is where the problem lies as liver fat can't be very easily converted back into any usable form. .(And this applies equally to any alcohol we consume -- in that it also makes for fatty livers.)So this would suggest to me that consuming small amounts of fructose need not necessarily be an issue.Robbity</blockquote>
