fructose and weight gain

Fructose is a type of simple sugar found in fruits, vegetables, and sweeteners like high-fructose corn syrup. When consumed excessively, fructose intake can contribute to weight gain. This is because the metabolism of fructose differs from other sugars, leading to the greater production of fat in the body. Additionally, consuming high amounts of fructose can lead to increased hunger, decreased satiety, and overall higher calorie intake, all of which can contribute to weight gain.
