Shafrir noted that fructose places a metabolic load on the liver, which responds by converting it into triglycerides (fat) and then dispatching this in lipoproteins out from the liver around the body.[271] The title of the conference that I attended, Fructose – the lipogenic carbohydrate derives from this fact. Glucose entering the blood stream has the chance of being used for energy before being turned into glycogen and stored in the liver. Fructose goes straight to the liver to be stored.
