Liver Function/Metabolic Syndrome

Robert Lustig - Metabolic Syndrome - YouTube videoTLDR; Metabolic Syndrome = mitochondrial overload = health problemsFructose is toxic and causes the liver to work very hard and causes metabolic syndrome and fatty liver.Branched chain amino acids (meat) also strain the liver in similar fashion.Fiber helps reduce hepatic flux. Fiber reduces the amount of fructose and glucose that liver has to process. It also feeds the bacteria in the gut biome, which is also important for protecting the liver (?).I was enthusiastic about this talk until the end where he began saying that BCAAs in meat can also stress the liver and that fiber is important.Then I started wondering if my liver is alright…ㅜㅜ
