Your argument is that is something is unnatural it is bad for you. I don't think that this is the case for many, many substances. For example, if I take a vitamin D pill in the morning, I can't see that having any adverse health effects. I'll concede that HFCS is probably the leading cause of the metabolic syndrome in America, but please, show me some biochemistry which can justify your claim that all unnatural substances are "bad" for you.
You know what I like about this guy? He's obvious against some foods out there, and he's mostly right about them (IMO). But he also says you can have a little HFCS here and there -- not gonna kill you. It's the OVERCONSUMPTION of such foods (or really ANY foods) that becomes a major health problem. Proves to me he's thinking, and not just a health religionist.
@thumper300z I think people have gone WAAAY overboard with the healthy stuff. I like the rule 'only eat what your Grandmother would recognize' (maybe that doesn't apply to the 35 year old grandmas out there :)). If you want to eat some Malt-O-Meal (which IS processed), go ahead. But don't eat liquid suckers all the time. You want a soda? Do it like grandma did -- those came in the from of 8 oz. glass bottles, and maybe once a month for a middle-class family. Moderation rocks.
THANK YOU! I am glad there are still people out in the world like you that doesn't buy it! HFCS = BAD, all sugar is bad! Eat grains, fruits, and other things for sugar! Thank you (subscribed)!
I stopped drinking soda a few years ago and I've drank various things in its place, water, gatorade, stuff like that. I eventually settled on a mix of water, some milk, and frozen juice concentrate (not the best source, I know). I mostly drink orange juice.
While many people are feeding their risk for diabetes, I am keeping my immune system healthy and fighting off diseases. For example, orange juice (+ other antioxidants) help ward off cancer.
I got the same as you Booger, although sometimes some milk won't hurt me, recently i started drinking Aquarius when jogging as well.
The thing is that i got a low glacier layer on my teeth (its what the dentist told me) so when i eat sweets like..candy or cola whatever, my teeth get super sensitive and things hurt when i chew hard things. In my opinion it only keeps me away from eating those things!
Guess some bad things can have good side effects huh =)
I cut out HFCS after the Oprah W. show & I lost 60 pounds or more. Yes just by cutting this one thing out of my diet.Serious HFCS is shit & it makes people eat more because it blocks a natural that tells your body when its full.
I cut out all sugared drinks for many months. I only used stevia to sweeten the occasional drink. Lost 7 pounds like magic. Not saying the stevia caused me to lose weight, but it did curb my sweet tooth. When I did try drinking something with any form of sugar, it was horrible.
I know you're trying to be funny, but if your body doesn't digest a sugar, like some folks who lack the gene responsible for the creation of sucrase, you'll have terrible diarrhea and gas as the bacteria beyond your upper intestine go to work on the undigested sugars.
ok at least part of what this guy said is wrong. fructose is a aldose sugar named by IUPAC nomenclature and theres no way you can chemically modify it without it being called something else. What he probably mean is that they process the corn and extract the fructose. not the same thing.
i agree wholeheartedly with this guy's dietary recommendations, he shouldn't be seen as an authority when his degree is in something as stupid as chiropractics. they don't deserve the title of doctors imo
My mother is a registered dietitian who has been fighting to reform the public school system in Kentucky for the past 10 years in order to get tougher restrictions on the "foods" sold.
It's been a tough fight because the foods that include simple sugars, enriched flour, etc. are cheaper to produce and store, and thus gain a larger revenue for the school. Currently, the schools are well funded by these junk foods, but the children's bodies are being poisoned in the process.
A few more facts would have made this more impressive Like when you say "do you know how much sugar in a beverage?" Why not look it up and say how much. Thanks tho.
The brain will use ketone bodies a source of energy during periods of starvation. But that's generally not the usual source of energy for the brain. A typical, healthy person shouldn't assume that their fat is being used as an energy source, and thus cut all carbohydrates from their diet. Your brain needs them. :)
That's sort of the standard response from a biochem textbook but if you look at the recent literature, it actually shows that the heart runs more efficiently on ketone bodies
Well, that would make sense, if that's the emergency response to starvation. The process has to be more efficient for the brain to get energy fast enough when engough glucose isn't present.
yeah the body is amazingly adaptable that way and besides if using ketone bodies isn't sustainably health wise, the Eskimos are in real trouble. their diet has practically no carbohydrates or plant matter
The statement early in the video that sucrose does not occur in nature is false. The crystallized sugar that we buy is purified and crystallized, but also directly extracted from plants. The sugar in sugar cane is sucrose. many fruits also contain sucrose. Some fruits contain monosaccharides (especially frustose) but sucrose occurs naturally as well. The sugar in an orange is mostly sucrose. But that's a minor quibble. The rest of the video is quite accurate.
I'm basing this strictly off of what my biochemistry professor has said, but fats and sugars ARE good for you.. in moderation. You NEED them to survive. If you stopped eating carbohydrates (sugars), your brain would literally shut off. Your brain can't use fat as a source of energy. HFCS is made with a genetically engineered enzyme, and unlike real sugar, it is not broken down by the enzyme sucrase, so the digestion of HFCS is not controlled like the breakdown of sugar is. Thus, obesity.
Explain how uptake of the mono saccharides fructose and glucose are "controlled" once they've been liberated from sucrose. We know that sucrose is largely broken down in the upper small intestine into it's component sugars; glucose and fructose. That glucose and fructose is chemically identical to that found in HFCS55, invert sugar, and honey among others. With that known, the burden is proving fructose from HFCS is taken up faster than fructose from sucrose, and there's no evidence for that.
I suppose you're right. That's something that I haven't studied too extensively, so I'll have to look into that. On a separate note, I have heard that diets high in fructose can lead to type II diabetes. But I believe this theory is still under investigation. It could simply be that the US population consumes more sugars than other countries on a per capita basis, and diets high in sugar are linked with obesity, which entails diabetes.
But the main point is that sucrose and HFCS55 have nearly identical amounts of fructose. The burden is proving that the fructose in HFCS55 is worse than the fructose in sucrose. The best argument I've seen for that is unbound fructose entering the blood stream faster than the fructose from sucrose, but there's no citation for that.
And did you know that when you are diagnosed with diabetes, doctors prescribe drugs that actually promote weight gain, and yet they tell you that you need to lose weight. Honestly, no one cares about your individual health, in fact, they are willing to induce a sickness in order to exploit you and increase their own income. This is all about money. Don't ever let a doctor talk you into a prescription before you are fully informed of it's side effects.
Dr. Vincent why don't you explain this on a basic level of science this would help all these people understand it better. I have done the research and you are absolutely right. But i know that you understand what happens chemically to make high fructose corn syrup. Explain it in basic terms!
So the companys producing make money, the government makes money, the doctors make money, the drug companies make money and we keep getting fatter as a nation. HFCS is only the tip of the iceberg of the problems with our diets
comments. The medical community, the government, and the media are leaving everyone sick, obese, and confused. ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY PEOPLE. It doesn't cost much money to mass produce food full of chemicals and fake substances that give it longer shelf life and grow faster. Meanwhile we eat what the government and department of Agriculture tell us to eat. Which causes us to have problems, which causes us to go to the doctor which puts us on meds
HFCS is no worse for you than regular table sugar, and the fructose and glucose in honey is no different than the fructose and glucose in HFCS. Basically this dude is saying that fructose and glucose made from corn is somehow different from the fructose and glucose in honey. No he didn't say that directly, but he referred to honey as natural and HFCS as not therefore it's worse. That's not a scientific argument in fact it's a false argument.
This is important due to the body must use an enzyme (sucrase) to use sugar. Thus it can actualy be naturaly limited by the body. This is a big differance.
HFCS is already in the ~broken down form, thus it acts quite differently in the body.
Candy used to make kids sick- in excess. They would use up all their sucrase and then the sugar would not be digested correctly. Now kids can and will eat HFCS all day.
The fructose and glucose in honey and inverted sugar are exactly the same as those in HFCS. They are not combined into a monosaccharide to make sucrose.
In mammals, sucrose is very readily digested in the stomach into its component sugars, by acidic hydrolysis. This step is performed by a glycoside hydrolase, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose to the monosaccharides glucose and fructose.
"You keep saying that HFCS is no different than normal sugar (sucrose)."
Copy and paste where I said that, oh yea, you can't, because I didn't. I commented that honey and invert sugar are the same as HFCS. Rather than keep making untrue statements, try some higher level debate tactics. Copy and paste what you think is incorrect, and post what the truth is afterward. I can back up the facts in my comments. At the very least, do some googeing, and fact check me. Look up honey and invert sugar.
What I did comment is that your body will have no problem converting sucrose sugar to glucose and fructose. If it didn't, sucrose would be detected in large amounts in blood, urine, or feces, but it's not. Consumption of HFCS and sucrose will have the same effect on blood sugar.
You'll also get bad diarrhea and gas if you don't digest sugars. Some people are born without the ability to digest sucrose sugar, because they don't have the gene that initiates the production of the enzyme sucrase.
Granulated sugar is 99.9% pure sucrose, which means that it has equal ratio of fructose to glucose. The most commonly used HFCS, 42 and 55, have about equal ratio of fructose to glucose, with minor differences. HFCS has simply replaced sucrose as a sweetener. Therefore, despite the changes in the sweetener consumption, the ratio of glucose to fructose intake has remained relatively constant.
Glucose and fructose are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream in the small intestine. Undigested sucrose passing into the intestine is also broken down by sucrase or isomaltase glycoside hydrolases, which are located in the membrane of the microvilli lining the duodenum. These products are also transferred rapidly into the bloodstream.
This was fascinating, you know, years ago, I read an article that stated that sugar was as addicting as heroin. I thought that was the most absurd thing that I had ever read, but as the years have went on, I realize now, that that statement wasn't absurb, but so dangerously true. The big question is: high fructose corn syrup is banned in Europe and Australia...Why isn't it banned here?
I didn't know high fructose corn syrup was banned in Europe/Australia....another interesting thing is that aspartame is banned in Japan (I think some other asian countries as well) because of all the adverse affects associated with it.
And they have recently found that hfcs contains mercury from the processing. But it's ok because that's natural too! If you google "Jhet hfcs" I have a post on it on my blog.
I have learn a lot about HFCS recently and I have been make changes in my diet. Great video, I like that picture of that woman was snorting cocaine after it was process from a plant analogy. Make sense to me after food is process makes it more likely to harmful to your health and it is better to eat the non-process food in your diet.
Great video- its scary how manipulated people are about this ingredient.. and if its so sweet, why do they need to add sweeteners with it.. to hide the taste of the chemicals? Its so weird and I don't trust it for a second!
I'm so proud! My 2year old thought that all of that bright colored candy was fruit. He never said candy, but he said "Oh my gosh. Fruit salad" over and over : D
I'm happy to see that someone hyphenated high-fructose corn syrup, which everyone should do because it's a compound modifier. Chalk up a victory for the English language!
And who made something about it powerful enough to help?
I can do something but my environment are contagious to consume this products,so soon or latter I will be suggested to consume this by anybody around me.
And we are unhealthy because our government doesn't educate us to see many thing that to day are so powerful and control our Politics so who can tell us witch thing are right for the humans since the humans became self destructive lately.
Yeah, that's what I ment. Regardless we've all been lied to and it's time to wake up. We need God in this country before it's to late. America was founded on Christianity but we've turned our backs on God. That's a dangerous thing to do.
Great Video! It is great to hear some truth in this land of "smoking mirrors". HFCS is a poison that directly leads to diabetes, obesity and liver dysfunction. Give any politician enough money and nicotine is classified as a natural health food.
Actually even honey is processed now days. If you take pure natural honey it tastes so sweet many people wouldnt be able to stand it. Everything has been touched in a lie. But thanks to this guy we have some truth. Thanks for the video.
actually, you're mistaken. my grandparents keep bees and the sweetness of honey depends entirely on the pants they consume. honey can even have a slightly bitter taste to it :)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Sucrose is a natural substance! Glucose and fructose are natural substances!!! the method for procuring these natural chemicals may be unnatural, but that doesn't change the molecular structure. Quit drinking 64oz big gulps of soda and you will avoid diabetes... bees make the same fructose in HFCS using the same enzymes that bees use... OMG!!! Quit persuading people with non-scientific facts, you're compounding unhealthy mindsets becuase you don't know what you're talking about!
I love slideshows of fat people because I always imagine the person sitting at home watching the video going, "Holy shit thats me, but I'm not fat am I?"
EXTREMELY unhealthy for us. Gov't subsidized cocaine would have the same result---easy cheap access would result in mass addiction. As it already has with this absurd non-food substance.
be a viable reason to inject it into pretty much every single processed food on the supermarket shelf. Thus, people would eat less of it. Yes, we are eating far too much sweets, and far too much of what we eat has an overload of sugars in it---but this is because of HFCS! Open your eyes, man. This isn't some hippie movement "blathering" about government subversion and some sort of bullshit organic utopia. The government is sanctioning food that is both plentiful and addictive and
Spurcross, you're right that we have an excessively-sweetened diet. It's one of the staples of modern America. What you're missing is that virtually everything in that category is sweetened with HFCS. Soups, breads, cereals, cookies...it's in an EGREGIOUS amount of food. Why is that? Because it's cheap. It's cheap to harvest the corn and cheap to produce the HFCS. Cheap, cheap, cheap is the important word here. If we were still importing cane sugar, it would cost so much more than there wouldn't
Of course itz done purposely, the government and pharmaceutical companies could not make trillionz of dollarz a year selling dangerous drugz to americanz if we were all thin and healthy now could they.. Dont be a victim, get smart, get healthy.
B. People who blather incessantly about HCFS as containing some evil entity are deluding themselves and others. The point is that we consume too much sugar in all forms. HCFS is just the one that gets subsidized in the USA so it gets used preferentially based on economics and then gets scapegoated by the media.
Bottom line. It's not the HCFS, it's the excessively-sweetened diet that we eat that leads to the pathology we are seeing from the Western diet.
HCFS and cane sugar have essentially the same amount of fructose (55% and 50% respectively) The powdered form of HCFS (used more in baked goods) is actually only 42% fructose.
Honey has about 50% fructose, as well. Agave nectar is 90% fructose.
the guy in the video is refering to normal table sugar which is a processed thing, cane sugar is what used to be used...I think he did stumble on his words there
places like Mexico and Japan, they have cane sugar in their sodas, something that is nearly impossible to find in the US these days, and highly expensive to import thanks to the Corn Czars pressure to keep the taxes on it HIGH
are you kidding? The south of Florida grows sugar cane and I think Louisiana does also. In fact there are huge tarriffs on imported sugar so that US sugar gets bought
I saw the ad today and was like are you kidding me? Like I just gave-up soda and other foods with high-fructose corn syrup a couple weeks ago because of all the bad stuff I was hearing about it. Since than I don't really feel any different, but I did get a six-pack so I mean that's gotta be saying somthing about the obesity part.
Plus better to be safe than sorry. I mean they're always changing what foods are safe and not safe. In 20 years they could be like oops we made we made a mistake and half the US has diabetes or something.
why am i an idiot? I use sugar in the raw and i want to know how healthy or unhealthy it is. I'm a bit of a health freak. I believe our bodies are our powerhouses, our temples. We must treat them right so they treat us right :) I do not think this makes me an idiot and I am sorry you feel that way.
actually there is a sugar called "sugar in the raw" and it claims to come straight from the sugar cane unprocessed and unbleached. check it out..google it yourself. I know what I'm talkin bout :)
I def hear ya! I still use honey on some things, but it seems as though the US wants everyone overweight! lol I mean the stuff that's healthy costs so much. It's like a conspiracy. Everyone becomes so overweight and then they become diabetic and have heart attacks etc. Doesn't America want us to be fit? What's the deal? Sorry, just did some deep thinking...It just hit me, is the government doing this on purpose? Is it possible?
I really like how he deconstructs the whole high fructose corn syrup thing. I also likes how he punctuates his sentences with a single dramatic eyebrow lift. Nice touch!
This might sound like a loaded question, but it's not. I really am curious about where the claim of dementia comes from...
Whenever I would like some soda, I will go out of my way to BevMo and get some old fashioned sodas that still use cane sugar. Also, Mexican Coca-Cola uses cane sugar if anybody wasn't aware.
High Fructose corn syrup is that what you were trying to say earlier in the video? Kinda sounded like highfructosecornsyrup wasnt sure if you were trying to shorten the length of the video or what
Oh yes. I've read that they add citric acid which allows them to add much more sugar than otherwise. Without citric acid, the amount of sugar they put in comes out of solution.
THEY PUT IN SO MUCH SUGAR, IT OVERWHELMS THE CAPACITY OF WATER TO ABSORB IT.
I've read that in Japan, Diet Coke uses Stevia. Why not here? Looks like the Japanese not only make great cars and DVD players but have the sense to ingest only the good stuff.
When I'm forced to eat fast food, I try to mitigate the damage by ordering JUST lettuce, tomato and onion. No ketchup, mustard or mayo. Instead of fries, I go for plain baked potato. Then I ask for soda water or carbonated water.
Most fast food restaurants can give you soda WATER. That's what they store in tanks and when you ask for a certain drink, coke, orange etc, the water is plain and then the add the flavor. Watch when they pour you a coke. You see it come out of the tap as two parts.
Evaporated cane juice is the deception used to avoid the use of the word sugar.
It's sugar, they're trying to hide the fact.
I buy pure, soda water. Just highly filtered water and CO2. No other aditives, this is NOT Club Soda which contains various salts. This is pure water.
Co-evolution: Why lemurs can eat giant bamboo leaves that are toxic to humans.
There is some weight to fears of new "foods". We have not had time to evolve the capability to metabolize many of these substances.
Maybe HFCS is fine, but why not stick to foods that we know are safe? If you want to be part of a big experiment, that's fine, but know that this is what you are doing, and it is immoral to experiment on someone without their consent.
I feel so great that I don't drink too much soda, fruit punch, or other things with refined sugars. I drink a lot of filtered water, tea with honey, lemonade sweetened with stevia and vanilla-flavored soymilk.
whoa man ... I think kool-aid is just as bad cause it still has refined sugar. Drink juice that that's 100%. no juice cocktails cause they have the highFructoseCornSyrup.
koolaid is not good but it is still better for you than soda. i would mix the koolaid with splenda if it didnt cost so much for such a small quantity.
Pretty much as bad as table sugar. They'll spike your insulin just the same. They might be "cleaner" sweeteners, but that doesn't mean the general effect isn't identical.
I just ate a healthy bowl of Kellogg's "All-Bran" With over 10 grams of fiber, but then realized it was chocked full of High-fructose corn syrup, now I feel like... well I think you know. The stuff is in everything. I hate it.
hey zardozman7, I feel the same way. For those of us who choose to live a diet-free High-fructose corn syrup life, food manufactors make it so difficult.
I just dropped Fiber One Brand "Fiber Bars" and Fiber One Brand Cereals, because this stuff is in it.
Luckily, the grocery store I shop at has a 'Health Foods' section (though very small section), still it's an alternative, so I can at least find a cereal without this stuff in it.
Finally, the facts come out. When I saw those pro corn adds I was sick to my stomach. It's so biased and misleading they should be sued for false advertising...
Nicely done and easy to follow response to high fructose corn syrup commercials. There's a lot of confusion on HCFS.
If you want, join a campaign to get cola companies to switch to beet or cane sugars at thepoint[dot]com and search for corn syrup ...I just signed my name.
Hopefully this starts the path to better corporate responsibility. Cola companies seem to use cane or beet sugar in countries outside the U.S. Why not in the US?
There are foods it is not in. You have to pay more for better quality and it is worth it because it is so bad for your health to take in artificial ingredients. Read your labels.
Watch the documentary "King Corn". It will open your eyes to how bad high fructose corn syrup is. And its cheap to make and the government substidizes the payment to farmers to encourage them to grow it. And the corn they use for it is a feed grade corn, its not food corn.
Your argument is that is something is unnatural it is bad for you. I don't think that this is the case for many, many substances. For example, if I take a vitamin D pill in the morning, I can't see that having any adverse health effects. I'll concede that HFCS is probably the leading cause of the metabolic syndrome in America, but please, show me some biochemistry which can justify your claim that all unnatural substances are "bad" for you.

That's like saying that cocaine is a "natural" substance because refined from a natural source.
Yes, the substance occurs in nature in an unrefined form. So, it's natural in that respects.
but...
No, It does not occur in a refined form. Man has to refine it. So it's a "man made" or "unnatural" substance in that respects.
There is no such thing as refined, bleached crystallized sugar that naturally occurs without intervention from man.

I'm basing this strictly off of what my biochemistry professor has said, but fats and sugars ARE good for you.. in moderation. You NEED them to survive. If you stopped eating carbohydrates (sugars), your brain would literally shut off. Your brain can't use fat as a source of energy. HFCS is made with a genetically engineered enzyme, and unlike real sugar, it is not broken down by the enzyme sucrase, so the digestion of HFCS is not controlled like the breakdown of sugar is. Thus, obesity.
lessthan3luv 2 years ago
Explain how uptake of the mono saccharides fructose and glucose are "controlled" once they've been liberated from sucrose. We know that sucrose is largely broken down in the upper small intestine into it's component sugars; glucose and fructose. That glucose and fructose is chemically identical to that found in HFCS55, invert sugar, and honey among others. With that known, the burden is proving fructose from HFCS is taken up faster than fructose from sucrose, and there's no evidence for that.
aredditor 2 years ago
I suppose you're right. That's something that I haven't studied too extensively, so I'll have to look into that. On a separate note, I have heard that diets high in fructose can lead to type II diabetes. But I believe this theory is still under investigation. It could simply be that the US population consumes more sugars than other countries on a per capita basis, and diets high in sugar are linked with obesity, which entails diabetes.
lessthan3luv 2 years ago
But the main point is that sucrose and HFCS55 have nearly identical amounts of fructose. The burden is proving that the fructose in HFCS55 is worse than the fructose in sucrose. The best argument I've seen for that is unbound fructose entering the blood stream faster than the fructose from sucrose, but there's no citation for that.

And did you know that when you are diagnosed with diabetes, doctors prescribe drugs that actually promote weight gain, and yet they tell you that you need to lose weight. Honestly, no one cares about your individual health, in fact, they are willing to induce a sickness in order to exploit you and increase their own income. This is all about money. Don't ever let a doctor talk you into a prescription before you are fully informed of it's side effects.

Dr. Vincent why don't you explain this on a basic level of science this would help all these people understand it better. I have done the research and you are absolutely right. But i know that you understand what happens chemically to make high fructose corn syrup. Explain it in basic terms!

HFCS is no worse for you than regular table sugar, and the fructose and glucose in honey is no different than the fructose and glucose in HFCS. Basically this dude is saying that fructose and glucose made from corn is somehow different from the fructose and glucose in honey. No he didn't say that directly, but he referred to honey as natural and HFCS as not therefore it's worse. That's not a scientific argument in fact it's a false argument.
aredditor 2 years ago
They are quite different.
HFCS is a monosaccharide sugar is a disaccharide.
This is important due to the body must use an enzyme (sucrase) to use sugar. Thus it can actualy be naturaly limited by the body. This is a big differance.
HFCS is already in the ~broken down form, thus it acts quite differently in the body.
Candy used to make kids sick- in excess. They would use up all their sucrase and then the sugar would not be digested correctly. Now kids can and will eat HFCS all day.
jmcco003 2 years ago
The fructose and glucose in honey and inverted sugar are exactly the same as those in HFCS. They are not combined into a monosaccharide to make sucrose.
In mammals, sucrose is very readily digested in the stomach into its component sugars, by acidic hydrolysis. This step is performed by a glycoside hydrolase, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose to the monosaccharides glucose and fructose.
aredditor 2 years ago
You keep saying that HFCS is no different than normal sugar (sucrose).
Yet you go into long (and not very accurate) discussions about how they are different.
They are quite different and thus they behave quite differently in the body.
Disaccharides must be broken down before they can be absorbed, thus they are obviously different.
jmcco003 2 years ago
"You keep saying that HFCS is no different than normal sugar (sucrose)."
Copy and paste where I said that, oh yea, you can't, because I didn't. I commented that honey and invert sugar are the same as HFCS. Rather than keep making untrue statements, try some higher level debate tactics. Copy and paste what you think is incorrect, and post what the truth is afterward. I can back up the facts in my comments. At the very least, do some googeing, and fact check me. Look up honey and invert sugar.
aredditor 2 years ago
What I did comment is that your body will have no problem converting sucrose sugar to glucose and fructose. If it didn't, sucrose would be detected in large amounts in blood, urine, or feces, but it's not. Consumption of HFCS and sucrose will have the same effect on blood sugar.
aredditor 2 years ago
You'll also get bad diarrhea and gas if you don't digest sugars. Some people are born without the ability to digest sucrose sugar, because they don't have the gene that initiates the production of the enzyme sucrase.
aredditor 2 years ago
Granulated sugar is 99.9% pure sucrose, which means that it has equal ratio of fructose to glucose. The most commonly used HFCS, 42 and 55, have about equal ratio of fructose to glucose, with minor differences. HFCS has simply replaced sucrose as a sweetener. Therefore, despite the changes in the sweetener consumption, the ratio of glucose to fructose intake has remained relatively constant.
aredditor 2 years ago
Glucose and fructose are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream in the small intestine. Undigested sucrose passing into the intestine is also broken down by sucrase or isomaltase glycoside hydrolases, which are located in the membrane of the microvilli lining the duodenum. These products are also transferred rapidly into the bloodstream.

Spurcross, you're right that we have an excessively-sweetened diet. It's one of the staples of modern America. What you're missing is that virtually everything in that category is sweetened with HFCS. Soups, breads, cereals, cookies...it's in an EGREGIOUS amount of food. Why is that? Because it's cheap. It's cheap to harvest the corn and cheap to produce the HFCS. Cheap, cheap, cheap is the important word here. If we were still importing cane sugar, it would cost so much more than there wouldn't

B. People who blather incessantly about HCFS as containing some evil entity are deluding themselves and others. The point is that we consume too much sugar in all forms. HCFS is just the one that gets subsidized in the USA so it gets used preferentially based on economics and then gets scapegoated by the media.
Bottom line. It's not the HCFS, it's the excessively-sweetened diet that we eat that leads to the pathology we are seeing from the Western diet.

A. We eat too much sugar...PERIOD!
HCFS and cane sugar have essentially the same amount of fructose (55% and 50% respectively) The powdered form of HCFS (used more in baked goods) is actually only 42% fructose.
