Apples: Complete Lipids and Fats Profile

Apples: Considered a quality source of lipids?

Yes, apples are a good source of sugars. Apples contain natural sugar called fructose, which is part of the naturally occurring fruit sugars in all fruits. Fructose is converted to glucose more slowly than other types of sugar, providing an extended release of energy. Because it does not cause marked elevations in insulin levels like other forms of sugar, apples can be included as part of a balanced diet for those who must monitor their blood sugar. Additionally, because frucose is sweeter than most sugars, only about half as much is needed to get the same sweetness compared to other kinds of sweeteners used in food and beverages.
