I use fructose for anything that calls for sugar. I use it in baking and for everyday items. I feel that it is healthier for me than processed sugar. I was pleased to find it on Amazon.com. It is outlandishly expensive in specialty shops.

Item not recievedJun 16, 2011
By Jessica A. Marrast
Dear Amazon,
It's about a month since I ordered NOW foods fructose, however the item was not received. I was not there to check myself, when the packages arrived and only now that I'm an checking through my stuff I realize that the fructose is missing. I am not getting any information from the shippers. Has the item been returned to you? Please give me some information. Thank you.
Jessica.

 this is corn-based, not fruit basedMar 12, 2011
By debe
The description of this product is misleading - this fructose does NOT come from fruit but from a vegetable -CORN! If you are following the Sugarbusters diet or diabetic in general - this will cause a sugar level issue - from the corn (starch converting to sugar) and the fructose together! Big problem! There is nothing in online description to indicate this difference. Found it on side panel of product when received. The "100% granules" is misleading too - making it look like a natural product - it is not derived from 100% fruit sugar. Do not buy if you are following a low-glycemic index diet. Coordinating with Amazon to return.

Very dangerous - research before you think about buyingNov 29, 2011

I finally put pieces together -- why fructose had disappeared off any store shelves and I had to order it here, and also why they're having to advertise it on TV to try to turn back public perception.
Fructose, and high-fructose corn syrup are proving to be very dangerous, causing many disruptive health problems. It's processed differently in the body than sucrose -- yes, our bodies CAN tell the difference -- and while they used to think that was good, they're now finding many ways in which it is bad.
This is not returnable, so when I received my (2nd) order, I dumped it in the dumpster. It caused "non-alcoholic fatty liver disease", intense intestinal swelling and distress, highly-elevated blood pressure, and other problems that indicate these warnings were getting more serious.
If this is from corn and not fruit, it's even more dangerous. (Thank you, reviewer "Debe".) Really check this out through Google, etc., before considering adding it into your life.
