Welcome to the Dr. Burg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr.

Burg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.

It's a sugar, but it's still a carb.

Now, here's what you need to know about fructose.

Table sugar has about 50% glucose and 50% fructose.

High fructose corn syrup has about 55% fructose and 45% glucose.

A GABA nectar has like 90% fructose, so this is the worst.

And then fruit does have fructose, but it has a lot of fiber,

phytonutrients, vitamins, and minerals.

So even though it has fructose, it doesn't nearly create the damage,

but it will stop you from getting into ketosis.

It's something because they've been breeding fruit very, very sweet and high in sugar.

The only thing I would recommend related to that would be certain berries, like raspberry and

blackberries. They're very low. If you had like a couple of those a day, I think that would be

fine instead of the fruits, like the apples and the pears and the grapes, which are very, very sweet.

So that's my point about that. But let's just get back to fructose.

Glucose will increase insulin because all of the cells can absorb glucose,

but not all the cells can deal with fructose, mainly the liver, okay?

So all the fructose goes to your liver and the liver is forced to deal with this fructose.

Now, the amount of people that are drinking their fructose in sodas and juice,

incredible amounts. So it creates some serious damage because it will turn into fat in the liver.

It will give you a fatty liver, which will then cause insulin resistance and make your insulin spike.
