Dr Adrian explained in the video that while many people blame traditional fats for liver issues, it’s actually excessive sugar, especially fructose that poses a greater risk. “Unlike glucose, fructose is more readily converted into fat in the liver, increasing the risk of liver damage,” he added. This fat buildup over time can lead to serious health conditions, including insulin resistance, inflammation, and even liver scarring. “HFCS is commonly found in processed foods like cookies, candies, breakfast cereals, soft drinks, and even sauces and condiments,” he warned. “These products might seem harmless, but they’re often packed with hidden sugars that can silently stress your liver.” “Avoiding HFCS doesn’t mean giving up everything you love, but being mindful of what you consume can go a long way in protecting this vital organ,” he emphasised.
