Product Information

The sweetness presented in fructose doesn't linger as long as it does with other sugars. If you're wanting a dessert with less residual sweetness, fructose is an excellent option. Careful with the use of Agave “Nector”, it’s not as good/healthy as it’s promoted and there are better alternatives to use in gels. Savage JS, Marini M, Birch LL.

Fructose doesn’t suppress appetite as much as glucose does. As a result, it might promote overeating ( 11).Manufacturers create high fructose corn syrup by adding certain enzymes to corn starch, which is essentially pure glucose, another type of sugar. They then use this glucose to create a syrup that contains varying amounts of fructose. For example, both high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and fruit contain fructose, but their effects in the body are different. HFCS is essentially a simple fructose delivery system – there’s nothing else to it, while fruit contains additional nutrients along with fibre, which affect digestion and absorption of the fructose. Plus, the amount of fructose in the average apple is much less than, say, the average can of soda. However, fructose needs to be converted into glucose by the liver before it can be used by the body.

Once they get to this stage, manufacturers further concentrate the liquid into a syrup that’s just a little thinner than commercially processed honey. You’ll find varieties in the store that range from light amber color like honey, to dark brown hues like molasses. Consumers thought the different colors of agave were like the variety of colors you find when you buy honey, which typically represents the type of blossoms the honeybees found their nectar from. This is because foods with high levels of added fructose usually also contain high levels of other sugars, such as glucose. Scientists conduct many research studies into the effects of fructose in rats fed combinations of sugars. HFCS can also harm your liver. In fact, it may be a leading cause of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which affects around 80 to 100 million people ( x).Fructose is a simple sugar found in fruits and vegetables, and makes up around 50 percent of today’s table sugar. Fructose is a monosaccharide, the purest form of a carbohydrate. Only one sugar group comprises monosaccharides, and the body cannot break it down any further. Impair the composition of your blood lipids. Fructose may raise the levels of VLDL cholesterol, leading to fat accumulation around the organs and potentially heart disease ( 5, 6). Insulin resistance means glucose can build up in the blood, causing a range of health problems, including type 2 diabetes . Groff JL & Gropper SS. Advanced nutrition and human metabolism. 3rd ed.
