[Alert] Toxic Food Ingredient DESTROYING Your Liver

It’s no secret that our food supply is tainted with nasty chemicals like preservatives and artificial sweeteners.
The FDA will tell you these are all “safe” for you to eat.
But I’m here to tell you they’re NOT.
In fact, there’s one FDA-approved food ingredient that’s proven to DESTROY your liver.
And chances are you’re eating it just about EVERY DAY.
I’m talking about fructose – a type of sugar extracted from fruits and other plants.
Fructose is used to sweeten beverages, cookies, cakes, salad dressing, and many other processed foods.
Experts believe that high fructose consumption to be a key driver of obesity, type II diabetes, heart disease, and even cancer.
Now, we know it’s taking a toll on your liver, too.
New research published by scientists at the Joslin Diabetes Center found that eating fructose blocks your liver’s ability to metabolize fat properly and actually makes it accumulate fat.
This leads to fatty liver disease, which is a growing epidemic and a major cause of pain, suffering, and death… especially in people who have poor blood sugar control.
The most surprising find in the study was the effects of fructose on mitochondria (the tiny generators in your cells).
When you consume large amounts of fructose, your mitochondria fragment and are not able to burn fat and create energy as well and healthy mitochondria.
Fructose damaged mitochondria are not only a problem for your liver, but this also means your brain… and your heart… and the rest of your body is going to suffer.
The bottom line is: AVOID fructose!
And that’s easier to do than you might think.
Just ditch the processed foods and start filling up one whole, nutritious foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, wild-caught seafood, and grass-fed beef.
