There was once a difference in classification that a Dwarf was below 4' 10, but above 4'' a Midget being 3'- 4' at maturity. However, certainly in England the terms are seen as inter-changeable. Ironically I am good friends with a genetically short family.
Just an example. A sweet onion is about 7% sugar, in-which about 40% of that is Fructose. A white onion (or any non-sweet type) is about 5% sugar, in-which less than 40% is Fructose. The amount of Fructose you are getting from even a few ounces of onion is minute. This Fructose is also bound with the flesh (Fiber) and other forms of sugar (Sucrose and Glucose).
But on the other hand, you may also not. 1  Fructose malabsorption isnât the same thing as FODMAPs intolerance. If you also get symptoms after eating onions, garlic, leeks, cruciferous vegetables, and other âroughage,â your problem is more likely to be FODMAPs than fructose specifically.
