Fructose is a type of sugar that is metabolized differently than glucose and can contribute to elevated blood lipid levels. Sucrose and glucose should also be limited, but they are present in many whole foods, such as fruits and grains, so it is important to focus on added sugars. Sucralose is an artificial sweetener and does not contribute to high blood lipid levels.
