Increased sugar consumption is increasingly considered to be a contributor to the worldwide
epidemics of obesity and diabetes and their associated cardiometabolic risks. As a result of
its unique metabolic properties, the fructose component of sugar may be particularly harmful.
Diets high in fructose can rapidly produce all of the key features of the metabolic syndrome.
Here we review the biology of fructose metabolism as well as potential mechanisms by
which excessive fructose consumption may contribute to cardiometabolic disease.
