Low-fructose fruits and vegetables contain fructose in the form of small amounts of glucose, which can cause health problems including obesity and type 2 diabetes.
But it is unclear whether fructose actually causes these health problems.
Researchers from the University of Exeter in the UK have now found that fructose also causes other types of problems.
The findings are published in the journal Science.
Low-Fructose Fruits and Vegetables and Fructose-Associated Hyperinsulinemia: Is There a Problem?
Researchers from Exeter University’s Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics and the University at Basel in Switzerland tested a large number of fructose-containing fruits and vegetable products for their ability to cause insulin resistance, or high levels of the hormone that causes blood sugar control to drop.
They found that, on average, the foods that were tested contained more fructose than those that weren’t.
So what does this mean for you?
There is little or no scientific evidence that fructose causes insulin resistance in humans, according to a review of the evidence published by the US National Academy of Sciences in 2016.
Fructose is a naturally occurring sugar found in a wide range of foods, including fruits, vegetables, cereals and other plant foods.
The amount of fructose in a food is determined by the amount of sugar in the plant, and the amount added to that food.
If you eat too much of one type of food, you will have less of the other type, so you will lose weight.
This is why you shouldn’t eat any high fructose corn syrup-type fruit and drink water with it, or eat sugary foods such as soda or soft drinks.
There are other foods that contain fructose as well, such as bread and cereals.
Low fructose fruits and veggies also contain fructose from glucose.
In the current study, the researchers found that the foods with the highest fructose content had higher levels of insulin resistance than the low-fiber fruits and veg products.
Fruits like apple, pineapple and bananas had the highest levels of fructose, while sweet potato had the lowest.
Fats are a key ingredient in many foods that have been shown to cause a variety of health problems, including diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity.
Low Fructose Fets and Fats in Fruits, Vegetables, Cereals and Other Foods: Can You Eat Them?
The researchers also found that those foods with a high fructose content also had a higher risk of being processed by the liver, causing liver damage.
This can happen even if the fructose in that food is actually low-calorie.
So it’s not surprising that low-carbohydrate, high-fibre diets can be associated with increased risks of obesity and other health problems in people.
But, these findings do not prove that low carbohydrate, high fructose foods cause insulin or other health issues.
Fecal fructose has been linked to colon cancer, but the links have not been proven, so we still need to be cautious in drawing any conclusions from the results.
Fetal fructose, too, is known to affect the developing nervous system.
Low levels of these substances in the fetus can lead to problems like autism, developmental delays, seizures and mental retardation in later life.
This research is the first to look at fructose’s effect on health in humans and to identify whether fructose is a risk factor for obesity.
