Yes, your fruit makes you fat just like your beer gives you a beer belly. . .

It is fascinating how similarly fructose (the sugar in fruit) and alcohol are processed through the liver.  Both of them increase insulin and both increase triglyceride production as a byproduct of their metabolism.  This is clearly pointed out in Robert Lustig’s paper published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association in 2010.

The metabolic pathways are very clearly outlined below:

Metabolism of Ethanol

Metabolism of Fructose
