The Claim
Under high-fructose feeding, de novo lipogenesis contributes approximately 2.55% of hepatic triglycerides in mice, compared to 1.13% under high-glucose feeding.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In mice fed a high-fructose diet, the liver produces 2.55% of its fat stores from new fat synthesis, while in mice fed a high-glucose diet, this process produces only 1.13% of liver fat.
See the scientific wording
In mice, de novo lipogenesis contributes approximately 2.55% of hepatic triglycerides under high-fructose feeding compared to 1.13% under high-glucose feeding, indicating that fructose strongly stimulates internal fat synthesis.
When fructose enters the liver, it is rapidly processed into molecules that flood the fat-making pathway, causing the liver to produce significantly more fat from sugar than when glucose is present.
What the research says
1 studyWhen mice eat lots of fructose (like in soda), their livers make about twice as much fat from sugar as when they eat glucose (like in table sugar). This study proved fructose is much better at turning sugar into liver fat.
