As I understand it, it's worse still. While glucose can be directly converted to energy, fructose must first be turned into fat, before it can be converted to glucose or ketones.

This fat will be stored in the liver.

The more fat you have in your intestines the more insuline resistance you'll have. Which in the end will screw with the entire body in various ways.

Fructose is mostly turned into glucose and metabolized that way. No need to turn it first to fat. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fructolysis
