Fructose and Hunger

Fructose, unlike glucose, must be converted in the liver before it can influence the brain, leading to an increase in Ghrelin, the hunger hormone. This shift can make individuals feel hungrier, regardless of calorie intake. While fruits contain beneficial nutrients, those trying to manage their appetite may need to be cautious about their fructose consumption, especially from sources like high fructose corn syrup.
