Amount of fatty deposits around the weight with the sugary products. So very complex cascade of events that go on inside the human body. Its not exactly easy to present to the public but there is a very, a growing and important body of evidence that fructose is a toxic substance that harms the liver and causes a very similar set of consequences in the human body and in the liver to alcohol. It makes perfect sense when you think about it because where does alcohol come from . Sugar. So the connection that we are seeing between alcohol and sugar is related.

Very quick dose such as the kind of heavy dose you might get from having a sugar sweet and beverage on an empty stomach, the liver is bombarded by a large quantity of fructose and this particular substance within the liver is known to be toxin. Its what we call a hepatic toxin, a substance toxic to the liver like alcohol. This is when we see nonalcoholic liver cirrhosis, nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and what we used to see as belly is now sugar belly. For people who dont have alcohol have a considerable amount of fatty deposits around the weight with the sugary products. So very complex cascade of events that go on inside the human body. Its not exactly easy to present to the public but there is a very, a growing and important body of evidence that fructose is a toxic substance that harms the liver and causes a very similar set of consequences in the human body and in the liver to alcohol.
