[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2174269, member: 196898"] Let us turn Lustig on his head a bit. What his research demonstrated was that there is an association between fructose and fatty liver. For years nutritionists have been claiming that fructose does not produce a glucose response, and had not effects on the body. It was not absorbed and passed straight through, so was deemed to be safe for diabetics to consume in vast quantities. What Lustig demonstrated was that in fact fructose is not metabolised like other carbs, but does go straight to the liver where it is stored as lipid fat and eventually becoming a possible cause of NAFLD and Insulin resistant pancreas. So for a T2D, fructose has become a serious no-no and a food class to use only in moderation. I pose the question so far unanswered, and that is if fructose is linked to NAFLD, then what about the other sugar forms such as maltose, dextrose, and even lactose that manufacturers add to sweeten low sugar products? Given that, then how about the sugar alcohols malitol, dextrol, sorbitol etc. Do they also bypass the metabolism inly to end up in the liver as well? Is this the scourge of modern man causing death by a thousand processed meals? [/QUOTE]
