| This info is for us to learn and examine the Fructose content of some common foods. Keep in mind that 1 gram is 1,000 mg. And 50 grams is alot!! (link) Some are now saying that Fructose is the hidden triglyceride maker! We are all learning together! |
First some common Fruits
Apple - one large
Banana - one large
Brown Sugar - one cup
Cherries - one cup
Dates - one little ounce
Seems almost LoCarb,
till you check the fructose!
Grapes - one cup
About 1 carb per grape!
Mango - one
Orange Juice - one glass
That's why they give it after you donate blood!
Raisins - raisin' your blood sugar!
One small kid sized box
Watermelon
1/16 of a melon... one wedge
............................................................................................
And now, some veggies...
Some of which are really fruits - in disguise!
A fruit, remember, has seeds.
Mostly we think of fruits as being sweet.
Some of these have seeds - peppers for example.
And some are lower carb choices.

Is this what they call "safe" starches?
Or are they just called "veggies?"
Avocado - one large
Sweet potato - one large
White potato - one large
Red Peppers - one cup
Lettuce - one cup
Onion - one ounce
Butternut Squash - one cup
Not sure why I don't have this more often!
...........................................................................................
And then, some berries.
Just what the good Dr Atkins ordered.
Strawberry - one cup
Blackberries - one cup
More bang for your buck!
Blueberries - one cup
Getting up there
................................................................................................
But what about the "natural sweeteners?"
Honey - one ounce
Or HUNNY if you are a bear.
That's a hefty Fructose load
day in and day out.
 |
Agave nectar - one ounce
Many people think this is a safe sub!
And can't figure out why all their hard work
was sabotaged - by what -- they never knew!
Maple syrup
this is one cup - so divide by what, half?
*wink*
Molasses - 1 ounce
Hope this helps!
All this info came from
without a definition of the serving size it tells nothing.
ReplyDeleteHi Fred - The only serving size I can list is the one listed....
ReplyDeleteApple - 1 large.
Molasses - 1 ounce.
There are one or two that need tweaking.... thanks!
Even without the serving size listed,
ReplyDeleteyou can tell if something has higher Fructose!
One ounce of honey is about 28 grams of carbs... the first line ^^^
One ounce is about 28.3495231 grams!
Dr Google told me so!
I found this very enlightening!! I'm one who has high triglycerides despite a low fat, low carb diet. Now I think I see . . . Thanks!!!

Great info, Anne. You gave me a lot to consider.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking of going on a grass and water diet.
ReplyDeleteFood is beginning to scare me.
Holy crap on a cracker! I think I'll just eat fish...like...FOREVER! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my blog today :)
ReplyDeleteThis list is pretty neat, but I'm one of those fructose-lovers. ;)
