How Much Sugar Is Too Much?
Most consist of about half glucose, half fructose: Table sugar is 50-50; high fructose corn syrup is 45-55. Both glucose and fructose get turned into fat when we eat too much of them. (This is also true of natural sugars in healthful foods like fruit, but would you ever scarf five apples in one sitting?) Excess glucose can up your risk for hypertension and metabolic syndrome; and when the liver can't handle more fructose, the remainder converts to triglycerides, a type of fat that can build up around organs.
