Are cherries good for the liver? This is a question that I wanted to see what research had to say about cherries and fatty liver as cherries are high in fructose. Even though cherries are high in fructose and natural sugars, they are also rich in polyphenols, anthocyanins, and vitamin C, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that promote a healthy body and healthy liver by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. ~ Didem
