==Fructose and Fruit==
The health risks of high fructose consumption and not generally seen with high intakes of whole fruit<ref name="FructoseExerciseHealth"/>. While fruit does contain fructose, it's not easy to consume significant quantities of fructose from whole fruit. For instance, an Apple contains about 10g of fructose, and a 16 ounce soft drink contains about 26g of fructose. The Apple is generally much slower to consume than a soft drink, and in addition, the Apple contains fiber couple [[Fiber]] which will slow absorption. However, the health benefits of whole fruit do not seem to apply to fruit juice<ref name="FructoseJuiceKids"/>. There does not appear to be any evidence that fruit juice has a lower health risk than soft drinks.
