Maybe they drink poorly? One guy shown in Super Size Me drank 8 litres of soda a day IIRC. The body has no use for fructose, it can only be converted in the liver to fat. You can even get a fatty liver from it, like with too much alcohol. Soda is usually sweetend with HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) no?
- maxerickson 5y agoFructose is converted into glycogen in the liver, which is then converted into glucose or fat, the body uses fructose just fine. Regularly consuming 5000 calories of anything sugary or starchy is going to be a problem for most people.
