Blow to the LIVER: how sugar affects the liver

We know that sugar is very harmful. However, we all know how difficult it is to abandon it, and add it to tea, coffee, jam, pastries and desserts.

Today we will tell you how sugar affects our liver and how to cure it if it already suffered from excess sugar.

How sugar affects the liver?





Our liver detoxifies the body, synthesizes enzymes and stores glucose (and therefore energy), but also regulates the level of sugar in the blood.

When we eat, the liver pulls the sugar from products which we consume. When our muscles and internal organs need energy, the liver converts it into glycogen.

Why sugar is bad for our liver?





  • White sugar that we eat every day, consists of equal parts of glucose and fructose. Fructose is almost three times sweeter than glucose.

  • Glucose can be absorbed by any body and does not cause any problems, while fructose is digested only in the liver. What happens then? All fructose goes directly to the liver, preventing it to do its job.
  • When excess sugar accumulates in the liver, it begins to turn into fat. Do you know what happens then? In our body develop resistance to insulin. When this occurs, our cells start to resist the hormone which the pancreas tries to balance blood sugar by producing more insulin, causing our body accumulates more and more fat.

  • High blood sugar levels and insulin in the body blocks the action of the hormone leptin, which regulates our feeling of hunger.

  • High insulin levels increases the pressure and lowers the level of so-called good cholesterol, resulting in metabolic syndrome. All this leads to a state of so-called "fatty liver".

  • Many people think that fatty liver is associated with alcohol consumption, but actually sugar is the main enemy of our health, which the body develops inflammation and we get sick more often.
