Which fruit has the least fructose, and why do we need to know it? If we are fruit lovers and want to eat more than three or four servings during the day, it is always better to know the quantities of fructose we consume, especially if in addition to fruit we also eat snacks or baked goods that contain glucose-fructose syrup. or corn syrup among the ingredients.

Excessive consumption of fructose in the diet can lead to liver problems: the liver converts excess fructose into fat. Furthermore, it has been found that excess fructose in the diet is linked to an increase in triglycerides and bad cholesterol , and cardiovascular health problems in general. This has led people to demonize fruit , when in reality fruit lovers can rest assured by following these two simple common sense rules:
– if we love fruit, we reduce the consumption of baked goods such as biscuits or snacks, honey, fruit juices. fruit and sugary drinks. The so-called added sugars are the ones to be limited.

– if we eat more than three average portions of fruit a day, we try to vary the types of fruit, for example by choosing to consume fruit with less fructose. Here is the list of the fruits that contain the least fructose.
