So, what is fruit sugar?

Fruit sugar, also known as fructose, is a natural sweetener commonly found in fruits and honey. It has a slightly sweeter taste than regular table sugar and a lower glycemic index, meaning it doesn't cause spikes in blood sugar levels. Fruit sugar is often used as a healthier alternative to refined sugar in various foods and beverages, including soft drinks, baked goods, and breakfast cereals. Due to its unique chemical structure, fruit sugar is metabolized differently in the body than other sugars, making it a popular choice for people with diabetes or those trying to maintain a healthy diet.
