Fructose is a simple sugar found naturally in fruits, vegetables, and honey. Synthetic fructose (in the form of corn syrup) is used as a sweetener in many foods, including baby food, and sweetened beverages. Other simple sugars include glucose (the form in which sugar circulates in the blood) and galactose (produced by the digestion of milk). Simple sugars can be absorbed by the small intestine.

Digestion of food begins in the mouth, moves to the stomach, and then into the small intestine. Along the way, specific enzymes are needed to process different types of sugars. An enzyme is a substance that acts as a catalyst to produce chemical changes without being changed itself. People with fructose intolerance do not have the enzyme 1-phosphofructaldolase (also called aldolase B enzyme and fructose 1-phosphate aldolase). This enzyme is necessary for the absorption of fructose.

There is growing agreement among obesity experts that fructose does not promote obesity any more than other carbohydrates. Fructose is sweeter than table sugar so less is needed to achieve the same sweetness, offering calorie savings. Fructose has a low Glycemic Index, which is useful in formulating foods with a low Glycemic Load. Crystalline fructose offers unique benefits when used in a variety of products, including improved product texture, taste and stability.
