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,
