“Fructose helps detox the liver from alcohol 80% faster. • Fructose increases CO2 and energy production. Fructose has little effect on increasing blood sugar and insulin levels. Increased insulin is needed for increased fat storage. Thus, ingestion of fructose has been shown to increase insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism. Fructose can enter the cell without the assistance of insulin and can be used as energy. This makes food with fructose ideal for diabetics. Fructose can improve the retention of magnesium and other vital nutrients.”
