Status: Allowed
Rhubarb is classified as well tolerated for Fructose Intolerance based on current dietary assessments. Fruits and vegetables provide fibre, vitamins and phytonutrients, and are a core component of many balanced dietary approaches. With fructose malabsorption, both the absolute fructose content and the ratio of fructose to glucose are assessed, as the small intestine's capacity to absorb free fructose is reduced. The reasoning given is: low in fructose or balanced. The assessment is based on experience-based assessments and expert consensus.
