Goodness only knows! I'd assume some of the same sorts of processing they do

to soybean and corn oil. Ask your druggist for it.

The excess fruit carbs still get stored as fat. And you'll still get an

insulin response to eating a lot of fruit. You might want to check out

glycemic index at this site. They list the GI for a lot of foods. Fruit run

the gamut from low to high GI.
