hello Wellness Warriors today i'm going to help you to understand why the phytonutrients in fruit isn't
actually worth the fructose you're consuming and if you stick around till the end of the video i've
got a fact that's going to absolutely blow your mind if you're meeting me for the first time my
name is Violet Reveira and the reason i make these videos is because when mental health and physical
health are working well together that's how we have that overall sense of well-being if this is
something that you're working on subscribe because i make new videos every week fructose is the sugar
that you find in fruit and the reason that it's encouraged is because when you eat it
you don't have the blood sugar spike that you have when you eat sucrose the other sugar that's
in fruit and other things and and all the other sugars that we have so it's seen as harmless but
in actuality there's a huge problem with fructose that we've been ignoring that is actually really
important recently i was watching a video by dr barry and he was going through all the different
reasons that fructose is dangerous for us naming all the ones that i already knew but he said this
one particular thing he said you know that glucose if you eat too much glucose or raise your blood
sugar it actually causes glycation of your cells and tissues this is what the test hemoglobin a1c
that's what it actually measures the problem is is that fructose even though your body
cells can't use it for energy it actually glycates the cells and tissues in your body
seven times greater than glucose and so eating a high fructose diet or drinking lots of glucose
you're going to cause a huge increase in the production of advanced glycation in
products when you hear something like that it actually does not sound like fructose
is harmless and you know what i understand that the damage is happening slowly slowly over time
takes years for that glycation problem to happen and impact us however
i already learned from dr fung that they did experiments where they fed people
stuff that had high fructose corn syrup in it and the damage to the liver didn't take years
the damage so the fatty liver so the weight of the liver was already going up after just a few months
so we have this this this misperception that we need to wait for the damage to be fatal
before we call it damage but if my liver is gaining weight as soon as i start drinking
things that have high fructose corn syrup in them or eating things that have high fructose corn
syrup in them or eating large quantities of fruit if my liver is already gaining weight just by the
sheer process of doing that then doesn't that mean that damage is already being
caused we don't need to wait for a situation to be dire before we decide to take action
it's very interesting because today we know that smoking causes damage and we inform our young
people and we try our best to make sure our young people do not touch cigarettes ever in their life
because smoking causes damage even though it takes years for the damage to become fatal the
damage is starting from the day you start smoking fructose is the same thing the damage is starting
from the day that you allow yourself to eat or drink or consume anything that has fructose in it
this makes me question why on a very global level why do we fight this information
this idea we have that fruit is healthy and what's it based on who decides what's healthy
is it a doctor is it a nutritionist is it a scientist
or is it your body and the reaction your body has to the things you ingest if i eat sugar fructose
in this particular case is what we're talking about if i eat fructose and my liver becomes
fatty becomes inflamed is that not saying that fructose isn't healthy so i decided to do some
digging to figure out when was the first time that we knew that fructose was related to fatty liver
and there was a doctor samuel zellman and he noticed one of his clients drinking a lot of soda
and having fatty liver and started to do some research and after about a year concluded
that fatty liver and fructose were related that connection happened back in 1952. we are
2021. that's 69 years ago guys and yet still today we're acting like if we don't know even
though when you look up non-alcoholic fatty liver disease one of the things they say is excessive
amounts of fructose so it's not that doctors don't know it's not the scientists don't know
it's that the mass population doesn't know because the mass population doesn't even
know that they actually have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease because the mass population does not
understand why their midsection protrudes the mass population doesn't understand that this
protruding stomach is a sign of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease the majority of us does not
understand that if we are overweight chances are very high we also have non-alcoholic fatty liver
disease we don't know that when we have diabetes chances are we have non-alcoholic fat liver
disease and that connection between diabetes and fatty liver was made back in the 1700s
fructose is damaging to our body and we make it worse by juicing so that we can eat or drink
even more of the fruit that's causing our liver damage and it's very damaging to the body because
it's mostly metabolized by the liver because the body cells for the most part cannot use it
it's not because it doesn't raise our blood sugar levels that it's harmless what it actually means
is that it's worse for our body because the rest of our body isn't using it because small amounts
mean huge impact to our liver it's so important for us to understand this piece of information
because that's a huge cause of fatty liver disease if you found this video
informative and helpful share it because there are people out there that need this information
there are videos on the screen right here they're going to help you to improve your
health wellness warriors i am always happy that you come back and everybody who's new
welcome i want to thank you for watching Mind Blowing Health and Wellness with Violet
and i really can't wait to talk to you guys again next week
