The dieting ‘F’ word: Is fructose in fruit making us fat?

FRUCTOSE is like the F-word these days with many blaming it for the rising rates of
obesity and other health problems. But in the rush to avoid the sweet stuff, does this mean you avoid fruit?

It’s also found in honey, maple sugar, some vegetables (e.g., onions, potatoes), some grains (e.g., wheat, rice, barley and rye), and it makes up half (50 per cent) of sucrose (table sugar) — the most common form of ‘added sugar’ to processed food and drinks, and consequently a major source of fructose in Australia. Making headlines this week was a small study published in the PNAS, which showed that fruit sugars ‘may worsen food cravings’.
