Today, we’re going to talk about the only type of sugar that won’t raise your blood sugar: fructose.
Fructose doesn’t increase your blood sugar levels, at least initially. Fructose is often recommended to diabetics because it doesn’t increase blood sugar levels, but there is another side of this that’s important to look at.
Fructose follows a different biochemical pathway than glucose. Glucose is absorbed by all of the cells, but fructose is only absorbed by the liver. What’s not absorbed can end up in the colon, where your microbes consume it, which can lead to digestive problems.
Fructose absorbed in the liver can be converted to glucose and stored as glycogen. When glycogen is stored in the liver, the body will start making triglycerides and cholesterol. Fructose can potentially lead to a fatty liver very quickly, which can then lead to insulin resistance and diabetes.
Even though fructose is low on the glycemic index and won’t directly raise your blood sugar, it can indirectly raise your blood sugar and lead to various health problems.
The good news is that there are keto-friendly alternative sugars that you can consume. Learn more about these in my next video.

Today I'm going to talk about the only sugar
That won't raise your blood sugar now. I see you're getting pretty excited about this, but before you get too excited
Let me explain sugars classified in a certain way you have something called a monosaccharide and you have
Disaccharides, so let's just talk about those first
So a monosaccharide is like one individual sugar molecule like glucose that would be a monosaccharide
Mono meaning one saccharide means sugar and you also have another monosaccharide called fruit toast
And if you combine these different monosaccharides together, you have different types of sugar
For example, table sugar is about 50% fruit toast in 50% glucose and then you have honey
Which is 30% fruit toast and 70% glucose then you have other sugars like lactose
That's like milk sugar that would be glucose plus another type of monosaccharide called galactose and then you have something called high fruit toast corn syrup because it's a combination of glucose and fructose could range anywhere between
55 to 90% fruit toast and then you have a galvanector, which is combined with glucose and fructose
In fructose and a galvanector is about 85%
Okay, so it's a lot of fructose
Then you have fruit
Fruit is a combination of glucose plus fructose
But the fructose and fruit can vary between 1% and 30%
Now you're probably saying like what would be 1% well
It could be like avocados that would be considered a fruit or maybe
Olits that would be considered a fruit very low sweetness, right very low fructose. What's interesting about fructose
Is that it's the only sugar that does not activate
The beta cells. That's the cells in the pancreas that release insulin
It does not increase your blood sugars at least initially when you think about it when you go to the doctor to get your
blood sugar tested
They're not going to be checking how much fructose that's in the blood. They're going to be checking how much
glucose is in the blood
two completely different
monosaccharides and fructose as a sugar is like twice is sweet as table sugar
And this is another reason why manufacturing companies might be putting fructose in our food because it's just sweeter
If you take artificial sweeteners, you're talking about a factor of like 10,000 to 100,000 times sweeter than sugar
So that's why you need just a tiny bit and humans lack the enzyme to convert fructose into glucose
So when this was studied and realized that wow fructose does not increase your blood sugar
They started to recommend it for diabetics, but
Let me explain the other half of the story. Okay, because fructose
Follows a different biochemical pathway than glucose glucose is absorbed by all the cells
But fructose is only really absorbed by the liver some of it passes through the intestine because it's not easily absorbed
And it can get into the colon where your microbes have a frenzy, okay
It's kind of like crack to your microbes and they will start eating this up and start growing rapidly
And you'll get a lot of gas and sometimes diarrhea and a lot of digestive
bloating and all sorts of digestive problems
This is why a lot of people cannot do fruit or just fructose in generally
But what about the stuff that's absorbed to the liver? I want to talk about that because that fructose in your liver
That can be converted to glucose and stored as glycogen
Now if there's enough glycogen stored in the liver, then the body will instantly start making
triglycerides which are blood fats and cholesterol
It's been well documented that fructose will make a liver very fatty very quickly if you consume an eczema
Is unpredictable
But you can flare less with eczema
A once monthly treatment for moderate to superior eczema
After an initial four-month or longer dosing phase about four and ten people taking eczema
Achieved itch relief and glare are almost glare skin at 16 weeks
And most of those people maintain skin that's still more glare at one year with monthly dosing
Epglyce, LibriKizumap, LBKZ, a 250mg per 2mL injection is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children
12 years of age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40kg with moderate to severe eczema
Also called atopic dermatitis that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin
Or topicals or who cannot use topical therapies
Epglyce can be used with or without topical corticosteroids
Don't use if you're allergic to ebglyce, allergic reactions can occur that can be severe
Eye problems can occur, tell your doctor if you have new or worsening eye problems
You should not receive a live vaccine when treated with ebglyce
Before starting ebglyce, tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection
Ask a doctor about ebglyce and visit ebglyce.lily.com or call 1-800-LilyRX
Or 1-800-545-5979
Off of it, right? But we don't consume very much of it
Well, this all happens that kids, for example, 25% of their calories
are in the form of fructose on average. That is
crazy
So we're consuming a massive amount of fructose in many different forms
The other problem with your liver becoming fatty and you're producing all these triglycerides is that will now
Create insulin resistance in a bad way. Okay more potent than glucose
So now we're going to actually go right into diabetes a lot quicker
And now the body is going to produce more insulin
Indirectly so just because fructose is low on the glycemic index and it won't raise your blood sugars
It will do it indirectly and create problems
way worse than glucose
But in a different way
I'm sorry. You just kind of got excited there, right? You thought maybe you could start consuming fructose well
You don't want to do that that fructose will also be converted to uric acid, right?
So now your gout increases as well
And the more uric acid you have in the kidney the less vitamin D you're going to activate
Because the activation of vitamin D happens mainly in the kidney
So that can be another problem and we're going to end up with more inflammation
And also profound atherosclerosis. That's right. It leads right to
The clogging or the plucking of your arteries now in certain mice studies and by the way like mice and humans
Don't have that enzyme to convert fructose to glucose
There is shown at a spike in homocysteine
By 72 percent also you're going to get low leptin levels and that has everything to do with your appetite
So you're naturally going to not get satisfied and you're going to overeat when you consume
fructose probably another reason why they use high fructose corn syrup and so many
Drinks is to get you to drink more and more because you're not going to be satisfied given that information
You can have
alternative sugars. Okay, these are called sugar alcohols
And for that information you should watch this video right here
