Hey there, health enthusiasts! Ever wondered about the parallels between sugar and alcohol? Join me in unraveling the intricacies, as we dive into a mind-blowing review from HepCommJournal that spills the beans on sugar's not-so-sweet side and why it's high time we pay attention to what we're munching on.
Sugar Sneaks In: No Warning Labels, No Age Restrictions
You know what's crazy? Sugar doesn't come with those bold warning labels like alcohol does. It creeps into our diets at any age, wearing disguises like "healthy sugars, Jaggery etc." Sneaky, right? And the wild part? No one bats an eye; there's no stigma attached to it.
So, this review, guys—it's like a wakeup call. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or metabolic-dysfunction related steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is on the rise, and guess what's playing the lead role? Yep, you got it: added sugars, especially fructose.
Fructose 101: It's Not Your Friendly Table Sugar
Now, let's talk science. Glucose plays nice with all cells in the body, but fructose? It's a liver party animal. It loves chilling there, making fat and causing all sorts of chaos.
