After intestinal absorption, coconut oil is transported directly to the liver for metabolism. The liver is the sole organ that processes fructose, making it uniquely vulnerable to high fructose intake. Consuming large volumes of liquid fructose, as with HFCS in sodas and processed foods, amplifies the total fructose load on the liver. Liver overload from excess fructose leads to fatty liver disease. Liver overload from excess fructose causes insulin resistance.
