Re: Sugar Intolerance       05/13/03 12:07 PM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA Hi - I've heard of fructose intolerances, and you can be tested for that. I don't think you could have a total sugar intolerance, though, because all carbohydrates break down into glucose in the body. Glucose is what your brain and muscles use for fuel. So if you couldn't process glucose you'd die. Try a web search at google.com for fructose intolerance testing and see what comes up. There should be some medical information on that. Might also be other sugar intolerances that pop up (lactose intolerance is quite common, for example, and there may be others).
