"Hi Joy,
It sounds as though this may be correct......so the next thing to determine is exactly how many grams of fructose remain in 1 c. of kefir?
How many cups/day do you drink?

"Yes. i am not an expert, but I've never heard of the kefir organisms changing the sugar to other forms of sugar... just that they consume the sugar and produce alcohol (a small amount) and gas."

"Yes, I can imagine your disappointment. I agree that there is some good stuff on Mercola's site, but the wording and presentation is quite frustrating. Enjoy the kefir!"

water Kefir
Please could someone help me here. I have just read of the dangers of fructose from a Mercola site. However i have been drinking loads of Water Kefir as a valuable probiotic, but have learnt that the Kefir Grains turn the sugar water into fructose. Apparently out of a glass of Water Kefir you consume 1.4% of fructose. Now i would like to know is ALL fructose bad, or is it just the fructose from corn syrup we have to worry about. Do i throw away my Water Kefir?GingerSee More
