Wellness tip: Fructose                                         
Fructose is a naturally occurring sugar found in fruit. Current nutrition guidelines encourage eating 1.5 - 2 cups of fruit a day to promote health.  However, fructose is also a very popular food additive. The food industry adds it as high fructose corn syrup to a variety of processed products such as soft drinks, snack foods, and desserts. In this form, fructose contributes excess calories and may promote weight gain. Wellness tips are brought to you by the OSU Seretean Wellness Center, dedicated to making OSU the Healthiest Campus in America. For more information about services for students, faculty and staff, call 744-WELL (9355).
