Yet again Livestrong have got their HFI page wrong!
The first time I saw it it was nearly as bad as the one we got sorted in the last few days.. it was full of dangerous info!
It still is!
they state :-
"Diagnosing fructose involves administering a hydrogen breath test, which can measure for a variety of sugars, including glucose, lactose, fructose and sucrose. The presence of fructose in the breath test can indicate a possible fructose intolerance."
This is not even close to being sensible let alone accurate!
Fructose in the breath! (its called the hydrogen breath test for a reason!)
Using this test will not diagnose HFI (which is what the article is about) but could potentially kill a person with HFI!
Good one Livestrong!
I have contacted them to point out the error!
