Hereditary fructose intolerance is a disorder that your born with and it may strike more people of European descent or Caucasian people.
This disorder can strike about 1 in 20,000 people which makes it a somewhat common health problem.
Fructose intolerance will lead to fructose metabolism problems which can create unpleasant as well as very serious health issues.
And the only way to deal with a serious fructose metabolism problem created by a hereditary fructose intolerance may be to adopt a fructose free diet.
This is a genetic disorder that you were born with and it can be inherited from someone in your family - like your parents.
The people that have hereditary fructose intolerance will not be able to properly metabolize fructose.
This is due to a deficiency of a particular liver enzyme which converts fructose into glucose. Which will end up being a big problem for people with this genetic disorder these days.
Normally, fructose is absorbed through your small intestine and is then sent to your liver to be converted into glucose.
However, when your liver is missing "the" particular "enzyme", fructose can no longer be converted and you will experience fructose metabolism problems.
This will put a huge strain on your body, especially your liver and kidneys!
When fructose can't be converted, it will then start to accumulate in your body and this may result in Acidosis.
Attempts to deal with this unusable sugar create toxic substances such as uric acid and severe abdominal pain. Vomiting may soon follow the ingestion of fructose.
If you think that you suffer from a fructose metabolism problem like HFI, please pay attention to what happens after eating fruit or other foods that contain an ample amount of fructose.
And if you suspect that you can't digest fructose - have it checked out by someone licensed to do this type of testing.
*Even though a sugar alcohol does not actually contain fructose - it can affect your body similarly to fructose.
