This should give food for thought to people (e.g. Lustig)that say fructose is almost exactly metabolized like alcohol and hence is as toxic as alcohol. Most fructose doesn't even reach the liver ,says this study.
Mouse study reveals what happens in the gut after too much fructose
Researchers report that in mice, fructose, a sugar found in fruit, is processed mainly in the small intestine, not in the liver as had previously been suspected. Sugary drinks and processed high-sugar foods overwhelm the small intestine and spill into the liver for processing. Additionally, the authors learned that the ability of the small intestine to process fructose is higher after a meal.
