If it's sweet, be careful what you eat

Yeah, yeah I know ... a bit obsessed, but I want to share my new knowledge & hope someone who needs the info actually finds it. If you are a FructMal, let your taste buds help guide your food choices. If it's fruit, veg or processed food & it tastes or smells sweet it probably contains fructose or fructans. Think about it. Are pears & apples sweet? Onions? Are tomatoes sweet? Asparagus? Cabbage? What about pre-packaged foods? Biscuits? Muesli bars? Processed cereals? Breads? On the other hand, Traditional Oats (porridge) smell and taste a bit, well ... bland. So does rice. Most FructMals can eat a normal sized helping of these; and foods which are made from them but without HFCS added ... be vigilant! Food manufacturers are very sneaky. Use your nose too. Your sense of smell can be a great ally. If it smells sweet ... think mango ... it's probably going to give you grief.
