[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1803570, member: 41816"] I think the key phrase is ‘over-fed’. I mean, for me and my body then being ‘over-fed’ carbs is eating more than around 10-15g carbs. I am v carb sensitive and my body shows this by a number of signals, including raised blood glucose and insulin resistance. But that isn’t normal, is it? Normal people can gallumph 200+g carbs a day without blinking. So their idea of carb ‘over-feeding is v different from mine. The signs are not quite so easily spotted with fructose and a fatty liver, but heck... i would want to err well on the side of caution. And lets face it, most T2s have a fatty liver which makes it likely that they have been having too much fructose (amongst other things) for years. So if I have a carb sensitivity, and a tendency to a fatty liver, then any fructose is unhelpful. I’m not messing about guessing [I][B]how much is too much [/B][/I]no matter how much i enjoy apples. That kind of thinking is what got me to diabetic blood glucose levels, isn’t it? I’m not repeating the error with fructose and my liver. Having said all of that, i have a tower of wee strawberry plants growing on the garden table. 9 baby plants. Maybe 6 strawbs per plant this year. 50-60 strawberries spread over June and July. Mr B may see a couple of them. That is a fructose intake I am willing to ‘risk’ ;) It is a race. Me or the blackbirds. They don’t stand a chance. [/QUOTE]
