The Deadly Effects of Fructose â Part 2. Fructose and fatty liver. Fructose is even more strongly linked to obesity and diabetes than glucose. From a nutritional standpoint, neither fructose nor glucose contains essential nutrients. As a sweetener, both are similar.

Answers from Katherine Zeratsky, R.D., L.D. Fructose is a sugar found naturally in fruits, fruit juices, some vegetables and honey. Fructose is also a basic component in table sugar (sucrose), and high-fructose corn syrup is used to sweeten many processed foods and beverages. When your digestive system doesn't absorb fructose properly, it can cause abdominal pain, diarrhea and gas. People who have fructose intolerance should limit high-fructose foods, such as juices, apples, grapes, watermelon, asparagus, peas and zucchini. Some lower fructose foods â such as bananas, blueberries, strawberries, carrots, avocados, green beans and lettuce â may be tolerated in limited quantities with meals.
