Is baking with fructose safe ?


No I havent yet, but thanks for your recommendation
I will give it a look
 

Thank you so much for all of these alternatives ideas !! I will definitely give it a try
I usually enjoy berries with plain greek yoghurt as a dessert or snack but wanted to eat something different today

Anyway my BS was down to 5 mmol/l 2 hours after the porridge, I will still be cautious
 
I tried a pizza test yesterday while wearing a libre constant bg monitor.
Before eating 5.6
1 hour 7.4
2 hours 9.2
3 hours 8.6
4 hours 6.9
5 hours 4.9
So yes, I am a classic example of slow rise which stayed high and only went down slowly .
In future I will have the toppings but not the base, or use a fathead type dough
 
I'm now struggling to see the downside of Fructose in moderation.

Plus - does not go directly into the bloodstream as glucose but goes via the bloodstream to the liver where it is converted into fat.

Minus - loading too much fat into the liver can be a BAD THING but how much is too much? If you already have a fatty liver then this is likely to make things worse, but if you don't then what is the downside?
 

Have you heard of Dr Gary Fettke (known on Twitter as @FructoseNo ) ?
Claims remission from inoperable brain tumour by cutting down on Fructose.

The ability of fructose to promote cell survival through an allosteric metabolite thus provides additional insights into the excess #adiposity generated by a Western diet and a compelling explanation for the promotion of tumor growth by high-fructose corn syrup. #Nature.
