[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 2108894, member: 408573"] Fructose is a funny ol' carb. It can only be metabolised in the liver and what isn't used straight away is stored in the liver as fat leading to worsening Insulin Resistance and as has been said Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). For those of us with Insulin Resistance there is another problem, fructose on its own should not raise bg much more than any other food containing glucose but through the polyol pathway plus IR the amount of fructose raises the bg to a level 10X that of the insulin sensitive person. (From 3% to ~30%) I am not a fan of Fuhrman and your confusion after following his advice is no surprise. I would advise eating lower carb/fructose fruit in small quantities with a healthy fat such as full fat Greek yogurt or double cream and after having had a low carb meal not as a stand alone snack. Such fruits are raspberries, strawberries and blackberries. Edit for atrocious typos. [/QUOTE]
