I know all about fructose and I'll take my chances

Re: An alternative healthy option.
I also love my fruit veg and salad, here in France they make a point of selling local produce as any thing from abroad is much more expensive. Its always really fresh and taste like fruit use to.... I buy large amounts from the markets when its the right season plus neighbours ply me with soft fruits so I freeze them (cherries apricots strawberries) then in the winter I have them with yogurt or make smoothies from them. I would say now my diet is 80 per cent fruit veg or salad 10percent cheese and 10 percent the other food groups...08-03-2013, 09:36 AM
