Fructose?

[Stout1]

I know of maltodextrine and dextrose but what about Fructose for PWO needs?

Fructose is derived from natural corn
starch. During this process the starch of the corn is
processed and isolated to present the raw form of fructose.
Fructose is a monosaccharide and is one of the most
common sugars around, some considered fructose as
?fruit sugar?

"Why is fructose so important? First off fructose is over
40% sweeter than regular table sugar (sucrose), so less
is needed for your desired taste. Fructose is absorbed
relatively slow compared to other sugars. Most sugar
substances are metabolized primarily in the small intestine,
fructose on the other hand is metabolized primarily in the liver.
The amounts of insulin that is needed to metabolize fructose
is very little as well as fructose?s properties of slow absorption
place fructose low on the Glycemic Index (32, compared to 92
sucrose, 99-100 dextrose). This low number on the glycemic
index allows the body to have steadier blood sugar levels.
All important factors when trying to attain optimal levels for
an anabolic environment.

Again Fructose has a sweet taste similar to table sugar (sucrose),
but is about 40% stronger in sweetening ability. Fructose easily
mixes and dissolves in any liquid and needs no blending or vigorous
shaking to be palatable."

Bodybuilding Advice May 2002 Q & A

Question:
I am trying to get ripped for summer and was told to avoid fruit. Fruit is so healthy, so why is it not good on a diet?

Answer:
It does seem strange that when trying to lose bodyfat it is best to avoid fruit, doesn't it? However, while it is true that fruit is quite healthful, virtually fat free, and loaded with vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients, it also contains a natural sugar known as fructose. The molecular structure of fructose is such that it is very easily converted into triglycerides(fats)when passing through the liver. Because fructose is basically metabolized like a fat, it can greatly hinder your efforts toward a ripped physique. Fructose is also a poor choice for post workout nutrition, as it does little to refill muscle glycogen. Further, diets high in this sugar have also been shown to lead to insulin resistance, which can, in and of itself, lead to higher blood fats and bodyfat levels.

The main problem with Fructose as it goes mostly towards Liver Glycogen stores and not muscle glycogen stores, and since your liver has only 60-80 grams once its filled the rest of the fructose goes towards adipose tissue unless its used for energy right away...
