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).
Avoid sweeteners that are rich in fructose, especially honey, high-fructose corn syrup and agave syrup. If you want to add a sweet touch to your diet, use lower-fructose alternatives, such as maple syrup, brown sugar, granulated sugar, stevia or artificial sweeteners, to keep your intestines happy.ll other vegetables have a very low fructose content. However, if you are sensitive to fructose, it is possible that you also react to other similar short-chain carbohydrates, such as fructans, polyols and galactans, found in other vegetables, such as cabbage, onions, garlic, broccoli and cauliflower.
