description

We recently reported a link between fructose intake and the severity of liver fibrosis in a cohort of Italian patients with genotype 1 (G1) chronic hepatitis C (CHC) [1]. In particular, the association holds true for ‘‘industrial’’ only, not for ‘‘fruit’’ fructose intake. We thank Chiavaroli and colleagues for their comments that give us the opportunity to further strengthen data from our analyses.
