"When people eat a diet that is high in calories and high in fructose, the liver gets overloaded and starts turning the fructose into fat.

Lustig and other scientists believe that excess fructose consumption may be a key driver of many of the most serious diseases of today. These include obesity, type II diabetes, heart disease and even cancer."

Lustig is a paid shill of the meat and dairy industries. In reality, it's the animal products most strongly linked to disease, not sugar.

See many, many studies about this on http://nutritionfacts.org
