Increased triglyceride levels

According to research published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, high amounts of fructose in your diet can increase your triglyceride levels. Triglycerides are the main component of natural fats and oils, and high triglycerides can increase your risk of type 2 diabetes or prediabetes.

Increased cholesterol levels

According to a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, consuming too much fructose can increase levels of very low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, which can lead to fat accumulation around the organs and even increase the risk of heart disease.

High uric acid levels

High uric acid levels may increase your risk of gout. According to a study published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences , a diet high in fructose may increase uric acid formation, which may increase the severity of gout by activating several cellular processes in the body.

Liver problems

Fructose affects the liver's metabolism, making it less efficient at burning fat. Therefore, adding more fructose to your diet will cause your liver to store more fat, which is harmful to your liver.

Causes insulin resistance

Insulin is a hormone that helps convert food into energy and helps control blood sugar levels. Eating fruit high in fructose can cause insulin resistance, which can lead to obesity and type 2 diabetes.
