Fructose a monosacharide...why is it not legal

[Guest guest]

I was curious about this...can anyone shed some light. A yahoo query on

" fructose and monosachride " came up with a number of websites...here is one

http://ific.org/publications/qa/fructoseqa.cfm

It is listed as an illegal with the following explanation:

" Granulated fructose (or even liquid) that is sold as " fructose " has a mixture

of other trisaccharides, etc. in it. It is extracted from corn and they are not

too fussy about eliminating a few molecules of whatever that may get in with it "

but I wonder if anyone has done further investigative work to see if any

manufacturer has made fructose from fruit or honey...one of the main reasons I

am asking, is my son doesn't seem to like the taste of honey...so I'm trying to

find a legal sweetner

Thanks!
