Definition

A monosaccharide in fruit and honey. Widely used in processed foods as high-fructose corn syrup.

Metabolized mainly in the liver; in excess it can promote triglyceride synthesis and fatty liver.

The concern is added fructose in drinks and snacks rather than fruit itself. A single can of soda often holds 20–30 g.
