What is "fructose"?

Fructose is a type of sugar, classified as a monosaccharide, that is naturally found in fruits, honey, and certain vegetables. It is known for its sweet taste and is often used as a sweetener in processed foods and beverages. When consumed, fructose is absorbed into the bloodstream and transported to the liver, where it is processed and converted into glucose or stored as glycogen for energy. While fructose can provide energy like other sugars, excessive intake, particularly from added sugars in processed foods, has been associated with negative health effects, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, and fatty liver disease.
