- What is Fructose
- Fructose is a simplest form of sugar found in many plants. Fructose absorb directly into the bloodstream during digestion. Fructose can also be called ruit sugar, levulose, D-fructofuranose, D-fructose, and D-arabino-hexulose. Fructose is found in flowers, berries, trees, vine fruits, most root vegetables and honey.
- Glucose and fructose are both simple sugars--and equal parts of each is the recipe for table sugar. (High-fructose corn syrup is a bit more intensely sweet because it's made up of 55% fructose.) But scientists have long suspected there are differences in the way the human body processes these two forms of carbohydrate. But much of that research has been conducted on animals, leading many to question whether the human body makes any distinction between glucose and fructose.
