- just-juan-post 6y agoCould you elaborate? I'm reading this on wikipedia: > Under one percent of ingested fructose is directly converted to plasma triglyceride.[2] 29% - 54% of fructose is converted in liver to glucose, and about a quarter of fructose is converted to lactate. 15% - 18% is converted to glycogen.[3] Glucose and lactate are then used normally as energy to fuel cells all over the body. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fructolysis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fructolysis
- ravar 6y agoI can't find my source[1], but the amount of fructose converted to glucose is highly dose dependent. Over 30 grams (if i remember correctly) it basically all gets shunted to fat. edit: [1]https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/joim.12993 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/joim.12993
