LOW-FRUCTOSE DIET BASICS
Fructose is a simple sugar found mainly in a lot of ultra-processed foods as well as naturally occurring in fruits, vegetables (in small amounts) and sweeteners. Whole, unprocessed foods are generally lower in fructose, and although it’s the natural sugar found in fruit, the fiber in whole fruit helps to mitigate any health risks.
The easiest way to avoid being “fructed” is to stay away from highly processed, sweetened foods and beverages and to be moderate in your fruit intake, opting for low–Glycemic Index fruits such as dark berries and stone fruits.
