Fructose is the sugar found in fruit, honey and, together with glucose, in ordinary table sugar (which is half glucose and half fructose). Because the body handles fructose differently, large amounts – mostly from sugary drinks and processed foods – are blamed for part of the rise in obesity and diabetes.

How the body handles fructose
Glucose is used by almost every cell. Fructose is processed mainly in the liver, and in large quantities it can be converted to fat, contributing to fatty liver, raised triglycerides, insulin resistance and weight gain.
Whole fruit is different
- Whole fruit contains fibre, water and nutrients that slow absorption and make you feel full
- It is hard to overeat fructose from whole fruit compared with juices, soft drinks and sweets
- Studies generally link fruit intake with better health, including lower diabetes risk
Practical advice
- Choose whole fruit rather than juice, and have two to three servings a day
- Cut down on soft drinks, packaged juices, sweets and foods with added sugar or high-fructose syrup
- If you have diabetes, spread fruit through the day and check how your blood sugar responds
- Combine fruit with nuts or yoghurt, and stay active
Homeopathic treatment can support people with diabetes as part of an individual plan with regular monitoring.
