What do you mean that some people react badly to fructose??

Structures of L Forms

I have removed these structures from the article because they seem incorrect to me. They are not mirror images of the α-D and β-D forms. The two "front-most" hydroxyls need to be "flipped". I think that the strucures shown are not fructose at all, but some other ketohexose.
