Is fructose bad for you

Answer 1

We get our energy from the food we eat which is where sugar and carbs is derived from. The body breaks down starches and carbs into simple sugars and it is distributed to our organs as fuel to perform daily functions. The body does stock pile a reserve of glucose and fructose in the liver in the form of glycogen which it releases when it needs it. Glucose and or fructose is also stored in the muscle. So as far as where it comes from within the human body, its the storages in the liver and muscle but those storages are built up from the food we eat.
