A member asked:

How many people die from "hereditary fructose intolerance" per year?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Few: This is easily managed once the diagnosis is made, and a decent pediatrician would spot it by the child becoming sick when fructose is introduced to the diet. In a death (and these are very rare), the pathologist would recognize a metabolic problem and perhaps be able to make the call after the fact; some may be missed so no one can tell you exactly.
