Does the liver convert fructose and galactose into fat?
Fructose cannot go straight into the bloodstream like glucose. It goes to the liver first. The liver can take the fructose, convert it to glucose, and then release that glucose into the blood. It can also take that fructose and store it as glycogen. Finally, it can convert the fructose to fat. It is this conversion to fat that causes a lot of confusion.
