Crystalline fructose is produced by allowing the fructose to crystallize from a fructose-enriched corn syrup. The term "crystalline fructose" is listed in the ingredient statements of foods and beverages using this corn sweetener. It is important to understand that the "crystalline fructose" listed as an ingredient comes from cornstarch, not fruit. It has also been speculated that crystalline fructose can have an overall negative effect on your liver if digested over the period of years.
