The Difference Between Glucose and Fructose

Do you know the difference between Glucose and Fructose? It’s ok, most people don’t. Which is a bummer for those people with gels sitting in their cupboard that have fructose listed as an ingredient. Why? Because approximately 50% of the population suffers from fructose malabsorption – and many don’t even know it?
Glucose and fructose share the same molecular formula (C6H12O6), but are arranged differently, resulting in stark differences in their metabolism. Seemingly not a big deal, the arrangement of atoms in similar molecules makes a huge difference in how they are used.
