Fructose
All sugars are not equal — even though they contain the same amount of calories — because they are metabolized differently in the body. Table sugar is sucrose, which is half fructose, half glucose & High-fructose corn syrup is 55 percent fructose and 45 percent glucose. With fructose hiding in practically all processed food we would be safe to minimize the intake.
Did you know that eating Fructose causes us to overeat!!!
When we consume fructose, we may actually be “programming” your body to consume more calories, as fructose fails to trigger that feeling of fullness, and may even trigger continued hunger pangs!
RECOMMENDED INTAKE—keep your total fructose consumption below 25 grams per day. For most people it would also be wise to limit your fructose from fruit to 15 grams or less
