EU to approve health claim for fructose

yarwell

From the new year it will be permitted to make a health claim on products containing fructose -

Consumption of foods containing fructose leads to a lower blood glucose rise compared to foods containing sucrose or glucose

In order to bear the claim, glucose and/or sucrose should be replaced by fructose in sugar-sweetened foods or drinks so that the reduction in content of glucose and/or sucrose, in these foods or drinks, is at least 30 %.

Dr Lustig will be overjoyed :-)

I foresee sugar manufacturers putting in plant to make 85% fructose syrup from sugar.
