No, potatoes are not fructose free. In the past it has been assumed that ratios of glucose to fructose were 1:1, but recent research shows this not to be the case, with wide ranging ratios in different varieties.
Fructose has a free ketone group.
Fructose is a sugar found in many foods. It does not contain any gluten.
From a medical perspective, I would suggest that fructose is the problem for us. Sugar is half Glucose and half Fructose, and it is the Fructose which is causing health issues around the world these days.
Potatoes are roots. But you want your potatoes to be free of eyes, and any blemished.
No, not all potatoes can be used as seed potatoes. Only certified disease-free potatoes should be used as seed potatoes for planting.
Examples of carbohydrates include sugars (glucose, fructose, sucrose), starches (potatoes, rice, bread), and fiber (vegetables, whole grains, fruits).
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.

yes they are. you need to be careful about what you put on it
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!
Yes, See : Related links It has a collection of fructose free recipes in addition to other food sensitive friendly recipes. There are also tips on how to make every day recipes more allergy friendly.
Fructose is a reducing agent because it has a free aldehyde group (on carbon-1) that can undergo oxidation reactions by donating electrons to other compounds, thus reducing them. This makes fructose capable of reducing other substances by itself being oxidized in the process.
Hereditary fructose intolerance is a rare genetic disorder in which the body lacks the enzyme needed to break down fructose, causing a buildup of toxic byproducts. This can lead to symptoms like nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and low blood sugar levels after ingesting fructose. Treatment involves following a strict fructose-free diet.
