What is fructose malabsorption? How does fructose react in our bodies? Why is it actually good that fructose is bad for us? What are people suffering from fructose malabsorption actually able to eat? Want to dive a little deeper? This might be a good place to start. I compiled the following list of scientific articles and videos alongside my very own thoughts and research on these topics. The list is regularly updated, so don’t forget to check back from time to time. Enjoy the reads!
