Excessive consumption of fresh fruit causes fat accumulation in the liver (hepatic steatosis) due to its fructose content.

It is accurate that fructose consumed in excess, particularly via free sugars in sugary drinks and juices, is metabolized by the liver where it can stimulate fat production, as shown by the meta-analysis of clinical trials by Chung et al. (2014). However, automatically attributing this effect to whole fruits is a major exaggeration. A meta-analysis of observational studies published in Frontiers in Nutrition (2024) points out, on the contrary, that fresh fruit consumption is generally associated with a neutral or reduced risk of hepatic fat accumulation. Whole fruits provide fiber that slows the assimilation of sugars, as well as water and protective antioxidants. There is no solid clinical evidence showing that eating whole fruits, even in abundance, causes a fatty liver in a healthy person. Only one 2022 randomized clinical trial observed an increase in hepatic biomarkers in subjects already ill who consumed massively more than 4 servings of fruit per day without controlling their total calories.
