Fructose

Fructose is a simple sugar found in honey and some fruits (such as figs). Fructose is one of two sugars that make up sucrose. Entering the human body with food, it is used to produce energy in the liver through the process of glycolysis. Fructose is an important component of the diet of patients with diabetes, since, unlike glucose, its metabolism does not depend on the production of insulin in the human body.

Fructose is a simple sugar found in honey, fruits and other foods. It is one of two sugars that make up sucrose and is an important source of energy for the body.

Fructose enters the body with food and is used by the liver to produce energy. This process is called glycolysis. Fructose is also an important dietary component for people with diabetes.

Unlike glucose, fructose's metabolism is not dependent on insulin production, making it safer for people with diabetes. However, eating too much fructose can lead to health problems such as obesity and high blood cholesterol.

Therefore, it is important to monitor the amount of fructose you consume and consume it only in moderation.

The sugar that is present in fruits is called fructose (or fruit sugar). It is also present in honey in very small quantities.

Fructose is not as sweet as other sugars such as glucose and sucrose (which are found in chocolate bars, for example). It can also cause harm to the body, so the best solution is to consume it in moderation. Scientists have proven that fructose stimulates the production of cholesterol in the body and leads to diabetes or obesity. By the way, it is precisely this point that the famous children's writer Maurice Karem ("The Flying Class", "Smart Dog Sonya") draws attention to in one of the books he wrote in childhood. But don't worry, of course this is a scientific fact! Although fructose is often identified as a healthy sweetener, there is evidence that fruit sugars, like refined carbohydrates, may contribute to high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease and decreased immunity, leading to chronic disease in the long term. Thus, it is important to pay attention to the amount of fructose you consume. And avoid overproducing it in yourself, completely giving preference to a balanced diet and properly prepared food, without unnecessary sweet additives. For example, nuts, fruits or vegetables are rich in fructose.
