Fructose V Fruit.

[beaton]

Can anyone explain, We have been told to eat fruit it is good for us. BUT commercially produced fructose or corn syrup is very bad for us.How do we know if the fructose in food is good or bad?

[Beek]

Fruit is good for you - don't worry!

There are several web sites which will explain what is going on. Google 'Robert Lustig' and listen to his video advice.

Here is another link which may help you:

At the end of the day we must make our own minds up about what we are prepared to put up with. There are many with vested interests in us not understanding what the food industry gets up to.

We were preached at ad nauseam about animal fats being bad. Now it seems that they are fine and it is the refined carbs which are bad for us.

Minefields all around or what? Take a look at these link suggestions and you decide!

We need to understand the insulin factor.

Thanks Beek, I so agree but it's hard to fight your corner when you don't know all the facts. I shall look at what you have mentioned.x

If you eat fresh foods that are organic and not genetically modified you won't go far wrong.

Alternatively be guided by the health professionals, especially if you have an eating disorder or other health problem where a specific nutritional diet is required.
