All fructose must be metabolized in the liver. The livers of the rats on high fructose diet looked like the livers of alcoholics, plugged with fat and cirrhotic.

Maybe a little won't hurt Layla, but personally, I wouldn't eat it or even give it to my dogs.

Thanks Donna. What kind do you give the girls?
