I quit any food containing sugar for years. Today I got some pancakes in a fast food that were loaded with sugar. After the first one I had a gag reflex, so I had to spit the pancake. The taste was horrible. The taste of saccharinity has become unbearable for me. I was feeling like there was poison in my mouth, and my organism rejected it straight away.

I only buy jam with natural fructose, no sugar added.

It tastes way better.

Sorry to pop your bubble but fructose in any form other than the unprocessed fruit is bad for you. It is not the same metabolically as glucose and should be avoided for several reasons. If you are curious about the science behind this claim check out The Bitter Truth by Dr. Robert Lustig on youtube.

I mean natural fructose from fruits. Not fructose from processed corn.

Fructose is fructose regardless of where it comes from. HFCS (usually made from corn) is terrible stuff agreed, but the fructose in it is identical to fructose in fruit. The body metabolizes fructose differently than glucose, and this has several negative consequences. However, when coupled with fiber ie. in the unprocessed fruit the negative effects are negated.

Is a tablespoon of jam on your toast once a day going to kill you? Obviously not. My point is only that fructose is not the same as glucose metabolically speaking and that there are consequences for making this incorrect assumption.

There's a fascinating video called Sugar The Bitter Truth by Dr. Robert Lustig on Youtube if you want to learn the science behind why fructose is not the same as glucose.
