[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2052579, member: 41816"] Um, just a small point: Fructose enters the body by exactly the same method as any other food - via the stomach and from there it enters the small intestine to be absorbed somewhere along the small intestine. Once broken down into small enough molecules to be absorbed through the intestine wall, it is carried through the blood stream to the various parts of the body that will use those molecules - in the case of fructose, this is the liver. With other molecules may go directly to the cells that will use them, but fructose and alcohol (and probably many other things) are 'dealt with' by the liver, before the de-toxified or broken down parts are used in the liver, or returned to the blood stream to travel to cells where they will be used. By no means all fructose ends up as fat in the liver (we would have enormous livers if every g of fructose from every piece of fruit turned to liver fat). The liver turns fructose into a number of different things, used by different parts of the body - and only a small proportion ends up as fat, of which only a small proportion is deposited in the liver.
