In addition, the mice in Group 1 didn\u2019t develop high blood glucose, a symptom of diabetes.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">All three of the latter groups (4-6) developed obesity and increased their body weight by an average of 40 to 60%. They also all showed signs of fat build-up in and enlargement of the liver.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What the researchers discovered was that while the mice in Groups 4 and 6 developed insulin resistance and high blood sugar and their insulin doubled, the mice in Group 5 didn\u2019t develop these symptoms. (They did gain a similar amount of weight as the mice in Groups 4 and 6 though.)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The findings<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The researchers found that the mice on the high-fat diets with high glucose had lower levels of high liver fat markers, suggesting that glucose aids the liver in burning fat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The team also noticed that the mitochondria of the mice in Group 5 seemed to be healthy, while the mitochondria in Group 6 were not. This suggests that fructose affected the mice\u2019s ability to burn fat.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s new evidence that consuming fructose worsens the effects of high-fat diets like keto by hurting the liver\u2019s ability to burn fat.
