Fructose is a simple sugar found in many fruits, honey, and vegetables. It is also commonly used as a sweetener in various processed foods and beverages.
Fructose provides a quick source of energy for the body and is naturally found in fruits, honey, and some root vegetables. However, excessive consumption of fructose can contribute to health issues such as obesity, insulin resistance, and fatty liver disease.
There is no specific requirement for fructose as it is not an essential nutrient. It is naturally present in fruits and honey, and added to various sweetened foods and beverages. It is recommended to consume fructose in moderation as excessive intake may have adverse effects on health.
Excessive consumption of fructose, particularly in the form of added sugars, has been linked to an increased risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, and cardiovascular disease. It may also contribute to high blood pressure, inflammation, and insulin resistance when consumed in large amounts.
While fructose occurs naturally in fruits and some vegetables, consuming high amounts of added fructose, such as in sugary drinks and processed foods, can have negative health effects. Excessive fructose intake has been linked to liver damage, insulin resistance, and an increased risk of obesity, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. It's important to consume fructose in moderation and focus on obtaining it from whole fruits and natural sources.
