Harvard Medical School professor and lead author C. Ronald says that the most important thing that came out of this study is that fructose rich diets cause harm.
He said that the bad effect is not due to its high calorie but due to its effect on liver metabolism. By taking fructose rich diet, your liver stores more fat.
