You CAN have cane sugar :)

Hello! Thank you for reading my blog and for all the comments. I thought I would just take a minute to shout out to the world that:

YES CANE SUGAR HAS FRUCTOSE  AND YES- NATHAN IS EATING A CANDY BAR WITH SUGAR? WHY??

Because http://fructoseandbellyachefree.blogspot.com/2012/07/sugar-and-fructose.html!!!

Im sorry but if one more person asks me I'm going to scream!! We are so thankful that cane sugar is 50% fructose 50% dextrose naturally and that with this ratio it seems that intolerant people do not experience symptoms. Now I wouldn't go cane sugar crazy (diabetes, rotten teeth) but when you're 8 and super skinny and already have a long list of "can't have foods" a Hershey Bar sounds awesome!!

Most people associate fructose with sugar & fat bellies.

I associate fructose with a child who gets sick and looses weight. I know that cane sugar naturally has that nice 50/50 ration of dextrose and fructose- the 2 work together and do not cause symptoms. I am thankful my son can have cookies and ice-cream and all the other foods sweetened with cane sugar! We have eliminated so many foods already. Remember always read those labels though, honey, fruit, hfcs are in so many foods!

Okay sorry for my rant but it's so frustrating when people talk to me about fructose and weight loss and sugar and it has little to do with fructose intolerance. Good luck with your journey! You're not alone :)
