Hi David,
Thank you so much for posting your story and for the excellent link. I
think that issues with fructose may be a crucial missing piece of the puzzle
for those experiencing troubling symptoms despite eating paleo. Just heard
an interesting interview with Richard Johnson, MD who feels fructose and
fructans play a big role in obesity.

I have discovered that fructose is a problem for me. It may be a problem
for others also so I am posting this message. I recently cut out and
minimized all foods with fructose and fructons. I am eating meat/fat,
tubers/squash, leafy greens. My face cleared up, I feel better, and stubborn weight
is coming off. My carb level is less between 50-100 grams a day.
I think that some of the Paleo failures MAY be the liberal use of fruit as
a carb source. Once we left Africa fruit was only available a couple
months a year. Drying fruit is a mess without technology.
In my bouts with acne and rosacea, I tried everything under the sun.
Sometimes it was clear sometimes I had breakouts on a paleo diet. My
dermatologist said it was an immune issue.
Long story short it seemed like a liver issue. Fructose seems like a
liver toxin! Great explanation of the science.

The question is how much can you fructose can you handle. For now I am
trying to keep it as close to zero as possible.
Frequently you hear low carbers say a calorie is not a calorie. The truth
is a carb is not a carb also.
I just discovered (yesterday)a Blog/website that may give anyone
interested more info,

Again, this is my experience,
