In the below-referenced video, I discuss fructose. Fructose can be ingested and is also produced endogenously in your body. I review the absorption of fructose and how excess fructose is processed. I discuss how your body produces fructose. I discuss how fructose affects multiple body systems. I discuss the potential survival benefit of fructose in times of scarcity, but how most of us don't live in scarcity. I discuss how fructose leads to obesity, hypertension, diabetes, cancer, dementia, and even gout. I discuss how salt affects hunger, basal metabolic rate, and works synergistically with fructose to cause health derangement. I reviewed uric acid and gout. I discuss sources of high fructose corn syrup. I review sources of purines and umami, foods that can worsen gout.
