Fructose. He is still considered "very healthy". Because it sounds so natural and occurs in healthy fruit. But he is a silent killer. If it is taken in large quantities. Fewer fruits are not the answer, because he still hides in a popular "old acquaintance" ...

"Fruit is healthy!". A saying like chiseled in rock. Nutritionist Patric Heizmann explains the problem of fructose. He says "I too am an advocate of fruit, because fruit is actually something very original. Well, if the word "actually" was not there. "

Seasonal food and storage roller

Our ancestors did not have pineapple, papaya and kiwis on the menu all year round. At least not in Europe. In the winter it looked pretty bad with the "5 a day" as the DGE has been praying down for decades (a bid where everyone feels caught as a "sinner"). Patric Heizmann illustrates the problem behind our fruit: The fruit, which Fred Feuerstein plowed directly from the tree, was also brimming with vital substances. Today, for example, oranges are allowed to sit in warehouses for several years (!), Until they have been sold. That is so in EU law. Whether such fruit still has the same vital substance quality? Today, the high-bred apple varieties are also considerably more nutritious than the cartilaginous, small tubers bitten by our ancestors.

This is how it looks now with many foods. Specialist Patric Heizmann, makes you aware in his free online seminar, why you should pay attention to the list of ingredients of your products. GET THE TRICKS

Juices and Co.

Since today fruit in large quantities available and highly bred supply much more fructose than before, this makes our metabolism from a double point of view:

Fructose (fructose) is converted into triglycerides in excessive amounts in the liver. Fat. This fat then likes to visit colleagues in the fat stores and also worsens the blood lipids quite considerably!

Our millions of years old metabolism could do with little

Handle fructose well. It used to be just a few grams a day. Today we do not just eat fruit. We drink it! Orange juice, apple juice, multivitamin juice. A liter is gone quickly. "It's healthy!". And delivers a whopping 100 grams of sugar. This fructification provides many people with an incompatibility, because they are the "transporter" through the intestinal wall is not sufficiently available. Abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea. Typical symptoms of the widespread "fructose malabsorption". Watch out for fruit consumption, how are you. If you feel unwell, you can test it once at the doctor.

Of course, fructose is not just found in fruits. An "old acquaintance" carries him around secretly: sucrose. Table sugar. Extremely common. This is a so-called double sugar, so a combination of the simple sugar "glucose" and the simple sugar "fructose" - fructose! Sweet-toothed cats and sweetmouths unconsciously ensure a veritable flood of fructose.

Never again fruit?

Oh no. Certainly my tip is not to give up fruit now. Too valuable are the ingredients of which science does not even know thousands.

But a very small rule is not only for the character chic, but also ensures a good "gut feeling": fruit should be eaten, not to be drunk. A small, freshly squeezed juice is fine. Exceptions prove the rule. But no industrial juices. Not!

Possibly also helps now the realization that the widespread household sugar consists half of fructose. The just NO healthy sugar is when it is fed or consumed in large quantities. This ensures that too much sweetness not only for thighs thickened, but also for the derailment of blood lipid levels.
