subversion! The place where fructose accumulates the most is "not the liver"! How much fruit to eat a day to avoid fatty liver?

A study turns your perception of "fructose" upside down! Past evidence has shown that fructose is metabolized and stored directly in the liver through a special pathway, resulting in fatty liver. However, a Princeton University study found that the organ that metabolizes fructose in the human body is mainly the "small intestine", and the liver accounts for only 14%. How much fruit can you eat a day without causing fatty liver?

Xiao Jiejian, attending physician of weight management at Sanshu Orioles Clinic, mentioned that it was often said that fructose cannot be directly utilized by cells, but can only be processed and metabolized in the liver, resulting in fatty liver and triglyceride elevation, which in turn leads to visceral fat. Metabolic disorders such as elevation and insulin resistance. Fructose is as terrible as alcohol.

But fructose doesn't seem to be so evil, according to a study! Xiao Jiejian shared a study from Princeton University, which found that the human body metabolizes fructose mainly in the small intestine, while the liver accounts for only 14%. The study used isotopic GPS to track where fructose went.

Rabinowitz, a professor at Princeton University, found in a study that mice that drank glucose immediately detected elevated glucose in their blood, but mice that drank fructose did not draw blood. So he wanted to know where the fructose went.

In this study, isotope-labeled fructose was used, which means that these fructose were installed with GPS trackers, and even if the ends of the earth were turned into ashes, they could not escape the palms of scientists. It was found that the place where fructose 1-phosphate accumulated the most was not in the liver, but in the liver.in the small intestine! The fate of fructose is this: 42% is converted to glucose in the small intestine, 30% is converted to organic acids, and 14% of fructose goes to the liver.

Xiao Jiejian emphasized, don't be afraid to eat fruit "in moderation"! How much fruit can you eat a day to avoid fatty liver? The answer is to use "weight" calculation. Xiao Jiejian explained that a small amount of fructose is almost metabolized in the small intestine, and the limit is 0.5 g/kg. For example: a 60 kg person who does not consume more than 30 grams of fructose a day does not have to worry about fatty liver problems, which is roughly equivalent to a 300-gram big apple.

Xiao Jiejian also sorted out the fructose content of the following common fruits (per 100 grams, not every piece), and those who like to eat fruit can calculate it by themselves. Also, no added fructose or sucrose is recommended.

✔Grape 7.1g ✔Apple 6.3g ✔Banana 2.4g ✔Guava 4.7g ✔Orange 1.9g ✔Kiwi 4.0g ✔Blueberry 2.6g ✔Mango 2.9g

Xiao Jiejian also emphasized that fruit is not only fructose, but the calories also come from the glucose, sucrose and other carbohydrates contained in it; for example, bananas have low fructose content, but high carbohydrate content, although eating more will not cause fatty liver, but The heat will still break the meter.
