Glucose balances some fructose foods. The most dangerous are ones high in fructose and low in glucose.
The aim isn’t to go for zero fructose but to keep it low. For example if you have an apple have only half or a very small apple and no other fructose foods at the same time. Choose foods low in fructose for preference (examples: bananas berries)
