Fructose hijacks immune cells to set them on inflammatory "attack mode"
For the first time, scientists have unraveled just how high levels of fructose affect the body, flipping a genetic switch as it's broken down – one that primes your immune system to overreact to things it would normally ignore. In this "trigger happy" state…
