Re: honeydew?       09/30/07 05:40 AM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA On average, the USDA database says that honeydew melons contain about 2 grams of fructose per 100 grams while cantaloupe contains about 3 grams per 100 grams (about 35% more). However, on average both melons have about 0.3 grams more fructose than glucose. Generally speaking both melons should have the same effect if you are a fructose malabsorber. However, the values in the USDA database are averages and different varieties could well have quite different amounts of these sugars. Also the ripeness of the fruit and the amount you eat will also be a big determining factor in the actual amount of excess fructose for these two types of melon. So I am not sure there is a clear answer to your question. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
