A groundbreaking study published in Science Signaling has uncovered alarming evidence that sorbitol, a widely used artificial sweetener found in diet sodas, sugar-free gums and low-calorie desserts, may significantly increase the risk of fatty liver disease—a condition affecting nearly 100 million Americans.
Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis discovered that when gut bacteria responsible for breaking down sorbitol are depleted—often due to antibiotic use or poor diet—the sweetener floods the liver, converting into fructose, which turbocharges fat accumulation. This disturbing revelation adds to a growing body of research exposing how Big Food and Big Pharma deliberately poison our food supply with toxic additives, all while regulatory agencies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) turn a blind eye.
Sorbitol, marketed as a "healthy" sugar substitute, is just one of many industrial-strength sweeteners wreaking havoc on human metabolism. The study, conducted on zebrafish (whose liver metabolism closely resembles humans), found that without protective gut bacteria, sorbitol triggers fatty liver disease, metabolic syndrome and even liver failure—conditions that were once rare but are now epidemic thanks to processed foods.
The study's lead researcher, Dr. Gary Patti, warned that fructose—the end product of sorbitol metabolism—is a key driver of obesity, diabetes and cancer. Unlike natural fructose found in whole fruits (which is buffered by fiber), high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and artificial sweeteners flood the liver, spiking triglycerides and visceral fat—hallmarks of metabolic disease.
The study highlights another critical factor: gut bacteria. Healthy microbes normally break down sorbitol before it reaches the liver. But antibiotics, processed foods and pharmaceuticals destroy these protective bacteria, allowing sorbitol to wreak havoc. Fatty liver disease often goes undiagnosed until it's too late, with symptoms like abdominal pain, exhaustion, nausea and jaundice dismissed by a corrupt medical system that profits from sickness.
This is no accident—globalist elites pushing depopulation agendas have long promoted toxic food additives while suppressing natural remedies. Worse, mainstream "treatments" involve more drugs, weight-loss mandates or liver transplants—never addressing the root cause: toxic food and Big Pharma corruption.
This isn't just about sorbitol—it's about deliberate poisoning of the food supply. From high-fructose corn syrup to aspartame and sucralose, artificial sweeteners alter gut microbiomes, cause dysbiosis and fuel metabolic disasters. Meanwhile, the FDA, captured by corporate lobbyists, rubber-stamps these toxins while attacking natural alternatives like stevia or raw honey.
BrightU.AI's Enoch also points out that sorbitol can cause severe gastrointestinal distress, including prolonged diarrhea, stomach discomfort and dangerous weight loss. Its laxative effects and potential to disrupt digestion make it a hidden health risk in many processed foods and products.
The globalist elite—Bill Gates, the WHO and the World Economic Forum—push processed foods as part of their depopulation agenda, knowing that chronic disease weakens populations and makes them easier to control. Their solution? More GMO crops, lab-grown fake meat and insect protein—all while suppressing organic farming and home food production.
But with small steps, you can fight back this gl0balist encroachment of the food supply:
This study confirms what independent researchers have warned for years: processed food is chemical warfare. Fatty liver disease, diabetes and cancer are not "lifestyle" diseases—they are engineered plagues pushed by corporations and globalists seeking a sick, docile population.
