Fructose - Good or Bad
Fructose is defined as a very sweet sugar, C6H12O6, occurring in many fruits and honey and used as a preservative for foodstuffs and as an intravenous nutrient. Also called fruit sugar, levulose.
THE GOOD
Fructose is naturally present in oranges, apples, prunes, grapefruits and other fruits.
Fructose from fruit is GOOD, natural and healthy and your body turns this into energy. It is one of the three most important blood sugars.
Having intakes of enough fructose does not raise blood sugar levels like table sugar.
We only use natural flavors and natural sweeteners and there are very few sweeteners available to us to flavor our vitamins. And when we say natural, It means flavor and sweeteners from fruits and vegetables.
THE BAD
A lot of people get confused with Fructose, if it is GOOD or BAD.
Do not confuse Fructose with "High Fructose Corn Syrup". These are completely different sweeteners.
High Fructose Corn Syrup is BAD, artificially altered and turns directly to fat - not energy.
High Fructose Corn Syrup is man made and is used in soda, candy and even bread and cereals.
Avoid anything that has high fructose corn syrup in the "other Ingredients" on a food label. This food will tend to make you store body fat and make you unhealthy in several ways.
Deficiencies of GOOD Fructose may lead to low multi-step enzymatic functions in the liver and lack of flora in the lower intestine.
