Abstract
For most people, eating a wide variety of fruit and vegetables is the cornerstone of a healthy diet.
But for people with hereditary fructose intolerance, even a couple of bites of juicy watermelon or some sun-dried tomatoes in a salad can cause serious health problems.
This rare condition isn’t a food allergy or sensitivity.
But it can lead to serious health problems if not identified and correctly managed.
