Fructose is at the root of a lot of controversy. Modern HFCS has proportionally more fructose in it than does the older sweetener sucrose, or table sugar. It might be less satisfying than sucrose to some. Other controversial claims is that, nonintuitively, it packs on measurably more pounds than the same calories of sucrose.
Usually fructose does not occur naturally in an isolated form (that is, not without glucose), and sucrose (table sugar) consists of glucose and fructose chemically bound to each other. Fructose without glucose to balance it out seems to be what causes trouble here . . .
Do either of you know the difference between fructose as mentioned in this article and fructose in the form of say an apple or berry? I wonder as the only ‘sugar’ I eat is in the form of an apple, berry, or lemon or veggies (limited amounts of course). I wonder if the fiber limits some of the negative reaction in the body vs the fructose used in article. Thoughts?
