Sugar-Free Diet
A diet that avoids added sugars—helpful, but not always enough to stop internal fructose production and its metabolic effects.
Cutting Sugar Isn’t Always Enough
A sugar-free diet is a powerful first step—but fructose metabolism can still be activated from within.
Even without added sugar, your body can convert glucose and other substrates into fructose through the polyol pathway. Stress, dehydration, and high-carb meals can all trigger this internal process, quietly driving fat gain, cravings, and inflammation despite dietary discipline.
SugarShield is designed to support your efforts by helping modulate the effects of both dietary and endogenous fructose metabolism. It’s a metabolic ally for those doing everything right—but still looking to reclaim energy, reduce cravings, and break the cycle at its root.
What is a Sugar-Free Diet?
A sugar-free diet typically avoids foods and drinks that contain added sugars—like soda, candy, desserts, and many processed products. It's often recommended to support weight loss, insulin sensitivity, and metabolic health.
Why It's Not Always Enough
While removing sugar is a smart step, it doesn't always stop fructose metabolism. That's because the body can create endogenous fructose from other sources:
- Refined carbohydrates
- Alcohol
- High salt intake
- Stress and dehydration
This means people may still activate the damaging fructose pathway even on a ""sugar-free"" diet.
Fructose Is a Metabolic Trigger
The key issue isn't just sugar—it's fructose metabolism, which drives fat gain, cravings, and inflammation even when no sugar is consumed.
LIV3's View
We believe a sugar-free diet should be paired with metabolic tools that block fructokinase and reduce uric acid. That's where SugarShield comes in—helping to blunt the impact of both dietary and internal fructose, while supporting long-term metabolic balance."

Luteolin: The Anti-Sugar Nutrient You’ve Never Heard Of (But Need to Know About)
Luteolin is a rare plant flavonoid shown to naturally quiet the fructose pathway—the same metabolic switch targeted by pharmaceutical fructokinase inhibitors. By protecting cellular energy and lowering uric acid and inflammation, it helps restore the stable, high-efficiency metabolism that modern diets have lost.
Huntington’s Disease Breakthrough: Gene Therapy AMT-130 and the Energy Failure Model
A new gene therapy has slowed Huntington’s disease progression for the first time — a historic breakthrough. Seen through the energy failure model, it also highlights how metabolic stress like fructose stacks on top of genetic insults, and why research on luteolin is showing promise across multiple neurodegenerative conditions.
Tylenol, Autism Risk, and Fragile Energy: What Does the Science Really Say?
The Tylenol–autism debate shows how easily developing brains can be tipped when cellular energy is fragile. Our research suggests a bigger story: the Fructose Model — a framework showing how daily sugar exposure creates the same low-energy state across the whole body.
The Fructose–Insulin Connection: What Doctors Aren’t Telling You About Weight Loss Resistance
Doctors often blame carbs in general, but that's only part of the story. To really answer what causes insulin resistance, we need to look at fructose. If the engine is the problem, pressing harder on the gas pedal won't help. Instead, the solution is to improve how the cell handles fuel and gradually rebuild insulin sensitivity.
