Too much fruits can cause liver damage

And that is a process which has the potential to cause long-term damage. more

Excellent information from the Wikipedia on fructose: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fructose A relevant study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1994910/ The study essentially finds higher absorption of fructose at consumption levels of 50gm or above. As a reference, there is 35g fructose/100gm of apples, peaches, etc. An average apple weighs 70 to 100gm.

Precisely my questions too. How much is too much and how trustworthy are these so-called research papers? Till a little while ago it was said that diabetics can have only v limited fruit and definitely bananas, mangoes and grapes were a no-no. But lately I've been reading that no amount of sucrose is harmful for diabetics. more
