Hi,
I am by no means an expert in this. Most plants / fruit in nature that are sweet, the sugar is coming from Fructose. This is purely my understanding of it. So, since it's a leaf I'd say that yes it is Fructose.
I am not sure there is a way to have a 100% free fructose free diet. The question is how is it delivered. Apple versus apple juice, an apple was meant to be eat with the peel and fiber. When we take out the fiber what is left is just a flavored cocktail of glucose, fructose, and water.
Now, how much fructose is in 1/8 tsp of stevia sweetner is a question? But at least that 1/8 tsp of stevia gets you a full teaspoons worth of Sucrose. If Sucrose is 1/2 glucose and 1/2 fructose logic would be it's 75% less fructose? That is if stevia is 100% fructose, which is my question... how much of stevia is fructose? Say in SweetLeaf SteviaClear Liquid Stevia.
A lot to think about!

Is therelactose free and sugar free milk?
Lactose is a form of sugar, but in terms of how our body manages it, it is all good sugar, so no problem with unflavored milk. The only "bad" sugar in milk is when we add flavoring (eg; chocolate milkshake). When we talk about sugar and the harmful effects it has on our health, it is the Fructose component of sugar that is the problem. There are quite a few "sugars" which are fructose free and milk (in fact virtually all unflavored dairy products) are fructose free.
