The effects of sugar — particularly fructose — can set the body on a vicious cycle known as metabolic syndrome.


In one study, UC Davis' Kimber Stanhope and her colleagues altered the diets of a group of volunteers. Instead of consuming carbohydrate-rich foods such as rice, pasta, and bread, participants were given sugary beverages. The metabolic effects began in the liver, where fructose is primarily processed.

Quitting problem foods is so much easier when you understand just exactly what's going on inside your body.
