fructose and insulin resistance
Fructose is a type of sugar found in fruits, vegetables, and added sugars like high-fructose corn syrup. Insulin resistance is a condition in which cells in the body become less responsive to the hormone insulin. When excessive amounts of fructose are consumed, it can contribute to the development of insulin resistance, making it harder for the body to regulate blood sugar levels.
