Everyone is different when it comes to digesting fructose. I write about this in my book “The Way In: 5 Winning Strategies To Lose Weight, Get Strong and Lift Your Life.” The short of it is that any fructose you do not have enough receptors to take to your liver to be turned to glycogen well, then continue down into your intestinal tract, where it will feed bacteria there. This is what causes gas, bloating, diarrhea, or other unpleasant issues. If you suffer from these symptoms, you might test switching to portions of fruit that are only a half cup to one cup per meal and seeing if that makes a difference for you. Working with people for three decades, I found that people think they have really dramatic food allergies or metabolic issues… but when they tested smaller portions of certain foods, they "miraculously" no longer had symptoms. S#Sometimeshe best answers are not found in lab results or medication. Just in simplicity to figure out what works best for you and then believing what your body says.
