Answer 1

People who are insulin resistant have chronically high insulin and that makes it hard for them to build fat. They end up with high levels of fat – triglycerides – in their bloodstream. When they eat fructose, the liver converts that to fat. In normal metabolism, it would be released from the liver and burned, but the inability to burn fat means that’s not really possible.
