In this video, Dr. Salcedo, a board-certified OBGYN and nutrition practitioner, explores the surprising connection between fruit consumption and weight gain in women. She addresses issues like midsection weight gain, skin problems, and painful periods that can persist even with a healthy, fruit-rich diet. Dr. Salcedo explains that while glucose is processed by insulin, fructose is metabolized solely by the liver, where excess can lead to fatty liver and insulin resistance. She warns that sucrose and high fructose corn syrup exacerbate these issues, contributing to obesity and diabetes. For long-term health improvements, Dr. Salcedo makes recommendations for viewers.
