Abstract
The abundance of dietary sweeteners and overconsumption of fructose are widely thought to promote metabolic disease. In this issue of Cell Metabolism, Andres-Hernando et al. (2020) identify the liver as the major site of fructose metabolism-mediated metabolic dysfunction and identify a surprising role for intestinal fructose metabolism in driving fructose intake.
