There are now various foods available for the known intolerances lactose and gluten. That is very positive!
What about fructose intolerance, i.e. products that are fructose-free and low in fructose? Many people "now" suffer from this disease and it would be nice if this issue were addressed in future.

Hello katjes77
Thank you for your message. I think our product developers are not quite as advanced in this area as they are with lactose-free products, for example.
Are you currently missing something special?
I would be happy to pass on your request so that those responsible can think about an appropriate range.
Kind regards
Tanja
Even if the article is already a year old, I agree with katjes!

Hello everyone
We do not currently stock any fructose-free specialty products, but we are constantly reviewing the situation. In addition, there are numerous products in our normal range that are also suitable for people with a fructose intolerance.
Kind regards

Is there any advantage for Migros in using fructose apart from the fact that it is cheaper than normal sugar? Because the health disadvantages compared to normal sugar are considerable for consumers. https://www.codecheck.info/news/Wie-schaedlich-ist-Fruchtzucker-200216
ETH Zurich has discovered that the combination of fructose and high blood pressure causes heart muscle cells to grow to the point of heart failure. https://www.blick.ch/gesundheit/medizin/schweizer-studie-zeigt-fruchtzucker-ist-gefaehrlich-fuers-herz-id3899314.html
Migros will do almost anything to make even more profit, even at the expense of health!
Hello taso. The influence of fructose on health is the subject of controversial debate. In risk groups such as overweight people or diabetics, a high fructose intake can possibly have a negative effect. In people of normal weight, fructose does not appear to have any serious consequences for health as long as it does not lead to excess energy. However, replacing fructose with other calorie-containing sugars does not appear to be advisable based on current data. As a rule, fructose is used in foods in combination with sweeteners, and therefore only in small quantities.
In general, it is advisable to reduce the consumption of added sugar rather than fructose alone, as we mainly consume fructose in the form of table sugar (sucrose). We are aware of our responsibility with regard to food recipes and are constantly working on recipe improvements. Migros has also made a promise to produce over 150 products with less sugar, salt and fat but more dietary fiber by the end of 2018. You can find information on this at https://generation-m.migros.ch/de/versprechen/rezeptur.html Kind regards, Miriam

Hello Pasci, thank you for your message. We are happy to clarify the following: When we talk about fructose intolerance, we usually mean the relatively widespread fructose malabsorption - also known as intestinal fructose intolerance. It should not be confused with hereditary fructose intolerance, which is a severe, congenital metabolic disorder that requires strict treatment. In intestinal fructose intolerance / fructose malabsorption, the fructose ingested with food is insufficiently absorbed in the small intestine. The undigested fructose reaches the large intestine where it is broken down by the intestinal bacteria to form gas. Fructose intolerance manifests itself in varying degrees of symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, flatulence and bloating or discomfort. The extent of the symptoms varies depending on the tolerance threshold and the amount of fructose ingested. The following measures are usually sufficient to reduce symptoms: - Avoid foods sweetened with pure fructose (check the list of ingredients) - Avoid foods containing the sugar substitute sorbitol (E 420) (check the list of ingredients) - Limit your consumption of fruit, dried fruit and fruit juices.
Household sugar, honey and sweeteners used in industry such as invert sugar, glucose-fructose syrup or fructose-glucose syrup consist of a mixture of fructose and glucose and are usually well tolerated, as the glucose promotes the absorption of fructose in the intestine. Incidentally, you can take advantage of the latter if you take a fructose-rich food together with pure dextrose (powder or sweets); this increases the digestibility of the fructose. Migros does not stock any special fructose-free products in its range. However, there are many products in the normal range that contain neither fructose nor sorbitol etc. You can find more information on this topic here. Best regards, Tabea
