I'm sorry, but High Fructose Corn Syrup is not the boogeyman.
People need to stop blaming products and corporations for obesity and instead stick to the Food Pyramid. Grains, cereals, vegetables = good. Fats and sugars = Limit use. It's not just corn syrup, all sugars need to be limited.
Sugar is sucrose, sucrose is 50/50 glucose / fructose. High Fructose Corn Syrup is usually 42 / 55 glucose / fructose with the remainder being higher saccharides. There's a slight difference in how healthy they are for you but the truth is, sugar, HFCS, its all bad for you. Avoid all sugar sweetened products. Avoiding only HFCS and then eating the same amount of sugar sweetened stuff isn't going to help.
Princeton University researchers have demonstrated that all sweeteners are not equal: Rats with access to high-fructose corn syrup gained significantly more weight than those with access to table sugar, even when their overall caloric intake was the same.
kind of hard to avoid it when you have limited income. i tend to eat the most nutritious stuff i can afford, unfortunately that includes very little organic and high quality stuff. i quit drinking pop and sugar drinks quite a while ago and i lost a lot of weight just from that. but i have a feeling the last 30 pounds is the hfcs in breads and stuff i eat.
@AshtonPhoto I am simply trying to point that a lot of people getting over excited of ONE study it seems. It was on rats and we don't know how many and how they tested. I also find it hard to believe that corn syrup is bad for you when it is almost chemically Identical to sugar. So why are you jumping to conclusions?
"Today, you are that person." Thank you thank you!
If you had said that in the first place, fine, but nine times out of ten anybody who joins a debate with 'moron' doesn't typically have much to offer. I'm glad we can converse without name calling.
There are many things that are chemically similar to water but I wouldn't drink them.
I came to the conclusion that HFCS is unfit for human consumption at least 5 years ago.
Go to WebMD and look up the article 'mercury-in-high-fructose-corn-syrup'.
@AshtonPhoto Yea I know I should have said so. I'm sorry. But it's usually expected that there are only "morons" in the comment section, they only want to yell insults.
I had a feeling you would bring up how other things are chemical similar yet, very different. Good point.
I will look that up as you told me. I have a source of my own but I can't post it here. I can't post links.

Well, sometimes it's good to have the 500 limit on things!
You're quite welcome to PM me.
Here's my thing:
I don't want to watch the news in 15 years time and hear, "Oh dear me, we made an awful mistake. It turns out HFCS causes cancer and the FDA just reversed its approval of the stuff..."
You know? I just don't trust them.
Maybe I'm wrong and it's perfectly benign, but every person I know that's into healthy living won't touch it.
did you know that if you use truvia, splenda, or other 0 calorie sweeteners your at a higher risk for cancer? the healthiest kind of sugar is the regular kind you put in your tea
@wannabetvchef The sucrose molecule is actually 1 fructose and 1 glucose attached together with a small chemical bond that is instantly broken when digested. Sucrose is metabolized exactly like HFCS because its the same thing ... and science shows exactly that.
@wannabetvchef Table sugar is actually a disaccharide, I herewith confirm. Hydrolysis will produces 1 mol of Fructose and 1 mol of Glucose (=Dextrose) out of 1 mol SUCROSE (=Saccharose). BTW Sucrose is largely degraded in the same way in the "stomach" of the bee, to become processed in to honey w/ 70%(Fructose+Glucose)
What the heck!Iv'e seen sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many commercils were a dud is eating somthing. then he asks his friend if he wants a bite. The firend says no it's got HFC. Whats bad about it the guy asks. The friend stutters and the guy replies"high fructose corn syrup is fine in moderation" This is 2010 do think people a gonna eat things in "moderation"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's fascinating! Since corn syrup turns off leptin, people eating and drinking corn syrup won't feel full, so they'll just keep ingesting more corn syrup! And get even fatter.
Please tell me who did the study! I am keen to know this.
I've been studying heart disease. Just guess what makes low density lipoprotein go bad and turn into foam cells (The ones that clog up arteries.) It's not cholesterol or saturated fat. They're healthy.
@kleenex3000 No doubt. And to think that supposedly environment-friendly President Obama made the first hire of his administration a Monsanto lobbyist - Tom Vilsack head of the USDA. He then followed that by hiring a half dozen more Monsanto lobbyists including Michael Taylor to head the FDA. Taylor is the Osama bin Laden of the food system.
Great vid, all v true. Also people who suffer from overweight or obesity should stop trying to cut out their favorite foods. What they should do is just increase their consumption of vegetables and fruits, things like fresh unsweetened veg juices packed with vitamins, salads, stirfry vegetables, fruit salads etc. They will find their appetite naturally changes & they gain control, the problem is they are undernourished & body keeps craving food. Cravings stop when body has nutrition it needs.
no not really, it would probably be best to just limit or watch your total sugar intake. it's pretty hard to avoid all hfcs so just try to eat by the food pyramid suggestions.. you know, 2 cups of fruit, 2-3 cups veggies, look at the labels on whole grains for hfcs, eat beans, lowfat dairy like milk or cheese, lean meats... none of those things have hfcs in them. the reason people are obese is because they consume more energy than they burn.
this is a little extreme, HFCS is not the reason people are obese. it mainly has to do with genetics, how well your hormones are working, how plentiful food is in your environment, your level of activity, etc. I'm not encouraging people to eat foods with HFCS I'm just saying it doesn't matter how healthy you eat bc if you eat more calories than you burn you're going to gain weight.
HFCS doesn't make you fat in and of itself per se, but it makes you hungry, which means you eat more than you need to, and there you go. Just avoid it if you can because you know the government won't ban it.
I wish people would talk about this, because even though high-fructose corn-syrup is terrible for you and is junk. It is essentially the same as sugar, even though I think sugar tastes better in soda, etc - it's really is a personal choice. But the important thing is, a lot of people are going to go "HFCS is terrible! But sugar is good!" NO!! They're both terrible for you. Get real, it's like people who get fat when they become vegans cause they chow like mad.
hfcs is not the only thing that is consumed that is associated with obesity increases, don't forget devitlized stuff (white menance carbs). so is it hfcs that caused it? or a combination of stuff that leads to chronic long term malnutrition? if you fill up on empty caloires your not hungry enough to eat the good stuff. this causes a vicious cycle of food cravings and more junk and malnutrition. then eventually disease.
@don25451 That's not even close to being accurate. The body absorbs less sugar in the raw than it does refined white sugar. It absorbs less honey than it does refined white sugar. It absorbs less maple syrup, agave nectar or fructose directly from fruit than it does refined white sugar. The body absorbs less refined white sugar than it does HFCS. HFCS has been proven to be a catalyst not just in obesity but also pancreatic cancer and diabetes.
@Lachy101 Exactly right. The science is currently inconclusive. All this hate for HFCS is just another panic spurred on by ignorance of basic science and fear mongering by the lamestreet media.
If it comes in a box or a can, don't eat it. Buy your food from the outer perimeter of the store. That would be produce and meats. Buy organic and buy local if possible. The food industry has no interest in your health. Like any business, they are only interested in profits and the only people they feel a responsibility to are their shareholders. If you don't look out for yourself no one else will.
People make it sound like HFCS is totally or even mostly responsible for Americans eating way too much unhealthy food and not exercising properly. It probably isn't terribly good for you and it's definitely in way too many things but it is only a small part of the problem
When I ingest corny syrup, my appetite goes through the roof. I can tolerate it in small doses such as in breads but soda, popsicles, candy bars etc. and I not only get fat and hungry but I have horrific acne break out. Sugars breaks me out but corn syrup by far breaks me out the worst. And artificial sweeteners aren't absorbed?
Bullshit!
If that were true, they wouldn't cause me to break out with acne too!
These people are greedy liars and should have to watch their children die of cancer!
First partially correct answer to youtubing "causes of obesity". Congrats. But I would add the HFCS is economically evil. Sucrose is just as bad, it's just not injected into all items in the grocery store. I would also add that lack of symbiotic bacteria can inflame the hypothalmus as another way to induce leptin resistance due to increased intestinal permeability.
Calories and Fat consumed without care or exercise cause obesity, choosing to single out one ingredient and jump on the political bandwagon against it only shows your stupidity. You deserve to be fat if you listen to this idiot. And fat people are idiots if they aren't trying to control their weight, and should be descriminated against. There is no such thing as uncontrolable fat, you're avoiding blame with the help of people who want you on their side of the political fence cheering you on.
@CodeguruX Wow! which company do you work for and do you make a living
connected to this product? Because there is no other reason you could be standing up for something that seems to be in everything we eat because it is cheaper to produce. Although now even big companies are seeing the light.
Consumers always control the market, They have just become a little smarter.
This is just the start of change so get used to it.
@CodeguruX Did people before 1970 whip out calculators, count calories, and call up Richard Simmons to encourage them to lose weight? Occam's razor: people used their appetitie. Difference is, it worked accurately back then. Fructose and leaky gut damage the hypothalamus.
@2trey4five Energy intake is up over 600 kcals since 1970 and still rising. There are increases across the board and not just in sugar(biggest increases are meat and fat calories). This increase has occurred while activity levels have plummeted.
Blaming a single nutrient, even more so a single item is a terribly flawed approach to this issue. No diet is composed entirely of HFCS, therefore an argument blaming HFCS has no place in reality.
Saying that people are overeating because they're eating more calories is circular logic with no etiology. It's not science. Fructose in it's various forms, grains, and omega 6 fats from seeds are up, meat is the same, animal fats are down (from milk mostly). And without controls the characterize the dose dependent toxicity of fructose, you cannot say that one must have all fructose to get fat. HFCS is in over 50% of grocery store items, sweet or not. Economically evil.
@2trey4five Dairy is up 3%, Meat is up 4%, fat is up 7%, added sugar is DOWN 1% since 1970.
Sorry, but you are simply wrong due to your poorly researched argument.
It is funny how you touched on dose-dependency when that is the chief issue(along with poor research) with your blaming of fructose.
Also, If you blame a certain item for obesity, you fall into a logical pitfall. I didn't say you must have only HFCS to get fat, but you are shrinking your argument to just that.
While I don't discriminate against heavier people, I do support eating food made out of food. In the case of bread, I think the HFCS is used to feed the yeast, which turns it into delicious bubbles for the crumb. I don't know if they add more to sweeten it, since adding too much sugar to the dough will make it rise really really slowly. It sounds like a reasonable cost cutting device in this one very specific case. I would also like to be shown otherwise if this isn't the case!
@CivitasUltraAporia Thats part of it. But its the chemicals in the food that messes up the body hormones which makes a person want to binge more and store fat easily. If you grab your loaf of bread and look at the ingredients you would be surprise you more than likely couldn't pronounce some of the chemicals in it.
@CivitasUltraAporia And bullets kill people. What shoots that bullet? Or to complete the analogy, what causes people to want to overeat? What causes people's metabolisms to store fat rather than provide it to lean tissue for fuel?
@2trey4five You just touched on calorie partitioning. It is called the "P" ratio by some. It is highly genetic but is also determined by activity levels and diet composition.
@CivitasUltraAporia Calories are irrelevant if the body's satiety feedback mechanism is healthy. The more body fat you have, the more leptin the adipose tissue creates, the more reaches the hypothalamus, the more the hypothalamus suppresses hunger and increases energy output. If the hypothalamus is damaged, it defaults to hunger. Google "fructose induced leptin resistance" and "gut flora drives obesity in rats".
@2trey4five Calories are never irrelevant. You can't throw physics out the door because you have a woody for criticizing HFCS. Both your studies are done on rat subjects, and sorry to break it to you, but we aren't rats. Your argument is inherently flawed because your sources are flawed. They have a different metabolic system, particularly their higher rate of de novo lipogenesis.
There are probably a shit ton of factors that go into obesity. Most likely, this is just one of many reasons why our collective asses are getting larger and larger.
Sugar IS better, for one it doesn't contain mercury, two it is metabolized by every cell in the body unlike hfcs which is matabolized by the liver only.
Good, except you didn't differentiate between HFCS and fructose itself. Fructose does not cause the same problems as HFCS and is a very different molecule.
"Coincidentally as the availability of HFCS rose so did the rates of obesity"
I knew it!
And for those of you who believe that it has NOTHING to do with food or toxins and its just an issue of being under active you are wrong. The biggest looser feeds its contestants "ORGANIC" foods. Obesity is an issue of Bio-chemistry and fuel. To say that Chemicals and sugar has nothing to do with it is like saying gas has nothing to do with an engine! How much exercise would you need to burn of the S.A.D.?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
HFCS has nothing to do with the obesity epidemic. Americans live in a push button world, driving everywhere and the availability of more food, more calories, less fiber and less calories burned daily. Obesity happens slowly over time.The fact that it happens slowly proves that Americans, or any other culture in the same situation, are putting on only A FEW extra calories worth of fat daily. Maybe only 20-50 calories extra per day. HFCS comes from corn starch. It has nothing to do with obesity.
Whatever. Keep reading labels folks, you'll see this stuff everywhere. It's chemically extracted from corn..... just that makes it crap. But it's your life.
All i know is that americans seem to be the fattest people in the world. Europeans laugh at us.When i was a kid few people were fat now it seems most are.Just my opinion but i dont think it is because we are over eating...i do think it is the food.
and maltodextrin1000. You're absolutely correct between sugar, high fructose corn syrup and fructose. Let me tell YOU my hypothesis: Americans are lazy and stupid. When a company markets "fructose is natural and sweeter" they all think wohooo! Instead of using it like normal sugar, they double the dose. They think now "this is natural" so they can use it in everything - it won't harm. So they excessively use it in all of their foods. THAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH SOCIETY EVERYONE - RESPONSIBILITY!
Americans aren't ALL lazy and stupid. Yes alot are fat, but there are lazy and stupid asses where you live to. Stop putting everyone into the same catagory, cause they're not. Just because someone may happen to be lazy dosen't mean they are stupid as well.
(yea yea comment back loser, but don't except me to read what stupid response you'll come up with. bye)
I will comment back... and you will read this :). Don't be soo uptight. Whenever anyone generalizes, it obviously does not imply to the whole populations. That's the whole point of making generalizations - otherwise they wouldn't exist... And yes. americans are by far the laziest... I'm not sure about Canadians - I wouldn't disaagree... but you fatassses have no problem with.... being fatasses alone. peace
@djaaa86 I have you know that it is the food industries that decide the dosage of the highly processed HFCS. This stuff has a similar addiction responds as illegal drugs. That means American and non-American consumers would keep coming back and over eating those foods. Then these corporations deceive the people by claiming it is natural even thought its highly processed. Americans do not add extra HFCS to there foods and don't even know its in there! They believe the FDA has there back.
Your so called "highly processed" HFCS is only an enzyme difference from normal table sugar. BUt you're right about sugar as drugs and FDAs. But you've just proved my point even further with that. People don't like to take on responsibility of what's healthy for them, they point fingers at other (i.e. FDA, companies, marketing etc.). Fructose is really not all that bad for you btw... people always label things sooo negatively. and HFCS hardly has any much more fructose than normal table sugar.
@djaaa86 Humans should get there energy from Natural Fruit and Carbohydrates. I wouldn't say that HFCS is unhealthy and Table Sugar IS healthy! I maintain that they are both unhealthy. People do need to take responsibility for there health but they are still being played by corporations! This is evil no matter what way you put it.
@SpatialVortex refined/concentrated fructose is toxic, as added in foods. Natural fructose still bound to the fiber in fruits and vegetables is safe. Even regular fruit juice, w/o added sweeteners, is the refined/concentrated form.
One thing I NEVER understood and will never understand - the way scientists label the link between FRUCTOSE as a causative agent of DIABETES. I NEVER understood how at all in anay shape or form we humans can extrapolate data to confrim the link between fructose and diabetes. The way I see it is that fructose is found in ALL carbohydrate foods. ALL of them. Every fruit/breads/ sugars/ whatever you name it! So how do they isolate this one variable?
HFCS is in foods that you would never even suspect - such as ham steaks "corn syrup solids"! You need to educate yourselves on how to identify these poisons. For example; HFCS in Canada is labeled sugar, glucose/fructose! Corporations have many tricks and phrases to fool the unsuspecting public.
The fructose in HFCS is NOT fructose, anymore. It is a dirty, chemical concoction, that's been mixed with chemicals and bacteria to break it down! Did you know that the former Vice-president of 'Monsanto' (GMO, HFCS) is now working right along side Obama as the new food "safety" guru? We're all fucked!
ok yes high levels of fructose can cause obesity, however HFCS does not mean its 100% fructose. It is only called High Fructose Corn Syrup when compare to the regular corn syrup, which is 100% glucose. Sugar is a dissacharide composed of 50-50 ratio of glucose and fructose. Whereas HFCS is 46%glucose and 55% fructose, with similar composition to sugar. There is no logical argument to say that HFCS is bad for you and causes obesity just as much as sugar can do the same.
well, there are other issues with it as well that go well beyond our diet. The real dietary issue is that HFCS is in everything. Unless it came directly out of the ground/sea/you killed it, it probably has HFCS in it.
The reason it is so common is its cheapness. Corn is a subsidized crop that grows easily, however now that all of our food is coming from corn, our food security and ecology go out of whack.
Bottom line: Be good to your self and the Earth. Eat Right.
There was a great study on rats that showed otherwise. Two groups of mice were allowed unrestricted access to both. THE HFCS group gained 2X more weight than sugar group. Why is that?
I guess they put mercury in the corn syrup to damage the people with high metabolisms that wont get fat.. This is why i fish.. And now this is being attacked by the marine life protection act. Look up the MLPA. It's designed to make it hard for coastal californians to obtain their food from sources other than government farms. I will continue to use fish and kelp as my main source of food. They are going to have to kill me directly to stop me.
Fluoride's potential to impair thyroid function is perhaps best illustrated by the fact that -- up until the 1970s -- European doctors used fluoride as a thyroid-suppressing medication for patients with HYPER-thyroidism (over-active thyroid). Fluoride was utilized because it was found to be effective at reducing the activity of the thyroid gland -
For more info see the Thyroid Section in the Health Effects Database at
CHEMRISK - a research company hired by the Corn Refiners has recently taken down it's YouTube page.
The removal was in response to negative public perception resulting from the high-fructose corn syrup ad campaign. Apparently it has become a liability to defend the sweetener.
See the last remaining ChemRisk video at CornRefinersAssoc on YouTube.
u do know that if you dont want to eat things with high fructose corn syrup in it then... omg this is amazing.... dont buy it! it really isnt that hard to read a package and see the ingredients and say to your self..... hmmm.. i dont think I should eat it. wow people get a life.
At some restaurants ALL the offered beverages are sweetened with either HFCS or Aspartame. This is especially true at fast food restaurants, cafeterias, and so on.
Easier said than done. I've spent a great deal of time reading labels, only to find that it's in nearly EVERYTHING. The point is, it shouldn't even be ALLOWED in food or beverages; obesity and diabetes are both diseases, and HFCS is one of the causes. Simple solution? Go back to simple sugars that can be easily broken down.
How about this for a simple solution, instead of eating anything processed. Eat only raw fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. They were put on this earth for a reason other then to process them. Instead of eating Cheerios for breakfast, which the FDA tricks people into thinking they're healthy. How about eating an apple, a few blueberries, raspberries, black berries, maybe a banana, some spinach, kale, carrots and a cup of orange juice which you just juiced with real oranges.
Here in Pitts Pa, I like to fish (never eat what I catch!!!) in the Ohio river. The spot where I fish is right across a main trunk line RR track. Often there is a train passing that I have to wait for. While watching one go past, I looked at the placards wondering what sort of evil stuff was roaring by. Car after tank car was HFCS. Look for yourself, many tanker cars on the tracks are carrying HFCS! How much of this crap are they pouring into our food chain???
I like how you made me paused the player just to read very carefully each grocery from that rather fast list of products that rolled up at the speed of lighting, starting at 0:52 !
Since USA goverment just passed the bill for the Free Trade Agreement between USA and Peru (I live here in Lima) many of these "goodies" might end up in our supermarket racks!!
Not According to HFCSFacts(dot)com! They say HFCS doesn't cause obesity and diabetes because places that doesn't Have HFCS has obesity and diabetes! HFCS Facts are just idiots who think we are idiots. Where is one highly populated, even mild, that doesn't have an obese kid or adult, or an adult with diabetes.
Well, H.F. corn syrup is mainly used because taxpayers subsidize it, which makes it cheap to buy for the processed foods manufacturers. Over $50 billion dollars since 2005 went to subsidizing U.S. corn. Aside from health benefits, we should protest H.F. corn syrup because taxpayers shouldn't have to fucking pay 10 billion a year subsidizing it. Check out EWG (Environmental Working Group) for more details.

@KingFahtah Yeah.... HFCS is in almost all snack foods which are sweet in the USA. I had to search for 10 minutes to find 1 Ice cream brand which used actual sugar, Breyers. Every other one has HFCS as the main sweetener. Most fruit juice is mostly corn syrup here as well. It is quite sad.
@Kyocus Haagen Dazs doesn't use HFCS in their simpler flavors such as vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry. They also have a "five" line of ice cream that only contains five ingredients- cream, milk, sugar, eggs, and the flavor (vanilla, strawberries, etc.)
Other flavors, like Banana Split, have "corn syrup" and corn starch, for example. Keep reading your ingredients lists! :)
@Kyocus That's sad. Well if it's a choice between this HFCS rubbish and all the stuff with aspartame in, it's a good incentive to have a healthy junk free life. In the mean time enjoy yr ice cream :)

@wannabetvchef Table sugar is actually a disaccharide, I herewith confirm. Hydrolysis will produces 1 mol of Fructose and 1 mol of Glucose (=Dextrose) out of 1 mol SUCROSE (=Saccharose). BTW Sucrose is largely degraded in the same way in the "stomach" of the bee, to become processed in to honey w/ 70%(Fructose+Glucose)

Great vid, all v true. Also people who suffer from overweight or obesity should stop trying to cut out their favorite foods. What they should do is just increase their consumption of vegetables and fruits, things like fresh unsweetened veg juices packed with vitamins, salads, stirfry vegetables, fruit salads etc. They will find their appetite naturally changes & they gain control, the problem is they are undernourished & body keeps craving food. Cravings stop when body has nutrition it needs.

2trey4five 1 year ago
@2trey4five Energy intake is up over 600 kcals since 1970 and still rising. There are increases across the board and not just in sugar(biggest increases are meat and fat calories). This increase has occurred while activity levels have plummeted.
Blaming a single nutrient, even more so a single item is a terribly flawed approach to this issue. No diet is composed entirely of HFCS, therefore an argument blaming HFCS has no place in reality.
CivitasUltraAporia 1 year ago
Saying that people are overeating because they're eating more calories is circular logic with no etiology. It's not science. Fructose in it's various forms, grains, and omega 6 fats from seeds are up, meat is the same, animal fats are down (from milk mostly). And without controls the characterize the dose dependent toxicity of fructose, you cannot say that one must have all fructose to get fat. HFCS is in over 50% of grocery store items, sweet or not. Economically evil.
2trey4five 1 year ago
@2trey4five Dairy is up 3%, Meat is up 4%, fat is up 7%, added sugar is DOWN 1% since 1970.
Sorry, but you are simply wrong due to your poorly researched argument.
It is funny how you touched on dose-dependency when that is the chief issue(along with poor research) with your blaming of fructose.
Also, If you blame a certain item for obesity, you fall into a logical pitfall. I didn't say you must have only HFCS to get fat, but you are shrinking your argument to just that.

While I don't discriminate against heavier people, I do support eating food made out of food. In the case of bread, I think the HFCS is used to feed the yeast, which turns it into delicious bubbles for the crumb. I don't know if they add more to sweeten it, since adding too much sugar to the dough will make it rise really really slowly. It sounds like a reasonable cost cutting device in this one very specific case. I would also like to be shown otherwise if this isn't the case!

CivitasUltraAporia 1 year ago
@CivitasUltraAporia Calories are irrelevant if the body's satiety feedback mechanism is healthy. The more body fat you have, the more leptin the adipose tissue creates, the more reaches the hypothalamus, the more the hypothalamus suppresses hunger and increases energy output. If the hypothalamus is damaged, it defaults to hunger. Google "fructose induced leptin resistance" and "gut flora drives obesity in rats".

@2trey4five Calories are never irrelevant. You can't throw physics out the door because you have a woody for criticizing HFCS.

HFCS has nothing to do with the obesity epidemic. Americans live in a push button world, driving everywhere and the availability of more food, more calories, less fiber and less calories burned daily. Obesity happens slowly over time.The fact that it happens slowly proves that Americans, or any other culture in the same situation, are putting on only A FEW extra calories worth of fat daily. Maybe only 20-50 calories extra per day. HFCS comes from corn starch. It has nothing to do with obesity.

RandyBful1 2 years ago
ok yes high levels of fructose can cause obesity, however HFCS does not mean its 100% fructose. It is only called High Fructose Corn Syrup when compare to the regular corn syrup, which is 100% glucose. Sugar is a dissacharide composed of 50-50 ratio of glucose and fructose. Whereas HFCS is 46%glucose and 55% fructose, with similar composition to sugar. There is no logical argument to say that HFCS is bad for you and causes obesity just as much as sugar can do the same.
maltodextrin1000 2 years ago
well, there are other issues with it as well that go well beyond our diet. The real dietary issue is that HFCS is in everything. Unless it came directly out of the ground/sea/you killed it, it probably has HFCS in it.
The reason it is so common is its cheapness. Corn is a subsidized crop that grows easily, however now that all of our food is coming from corn, our food security and ecology go out of whack.
Bottom line: Be good to your self and the Earth. Eat Right.

HEALTH EFFECTS: Fluoride & the Thyroid
Fluoride's potential to impair thyroid function is perhaps best illustrated by the fact that -- up until the 1970s -- European doctors used fluoride as a thyroid-suppressing medication for patients with HYPER-thyroidism (over-active thyroid). Fluoride was utilized because it was found to be effective at reducing the activity of the thyroid gland -

Yeah, HFCS is bad news. Of course, the average person doesn't care. Anything with that in it, I avoid.

Well, H.F. corn syrup is mainly used because taxpayers subsidize it, which makes it cheap to buy for the processed foods manufacturers. Over $50 billion dollars since 2005 went to subsidizing U.S. corn. Aside from health benefits, we should protest H.F. corn syrup because taxpayers shouldn't have to fucking pay 10 billion a year subsidizing it. Check out EWG (Environmental Working Group) for more details.

shh, shh, no lobbyist/bribery/policy/israel talk plz. lets just focus on one man, what a cool web 2.0 rock star he is, how much he loves his good christian family, and how he's a shining beacon of undefined "change." focus entirely on the shiny popularity contest and leave the power where it belongs: in the hands of wealthy CEO politicians.

I hear they put this rubbish in coke in the usa...and it doesn't taste the same.
But besides that...why are the food companies such bastards. Do they want to kill everybody?

@KingFahtah what do they put in it in other countries? some other sweetener?
creamyfilling102 1 year ago
@creamyfilling102 Just plain old sugar..cane sugar that is. Unless you mean the diet drinks which of course have that horrid aspartame

@KingFahtah Yeah.... HFCS is in almost all snack foods which are sweet in the USA. I had to search for 10 minutes to find 1 Ice cream brand which used actual sugar, Breyers. Every other one has HFCS as the main sweetener. Most fruit juice is mostly corn syrup here as well. It is quite sad.

@Kyocus Haagen Dazs doesn't use HFCS in their simpler flavors such as vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry. They also have a "five" line of ice cream that only contains five ingredients- cream, milk, sugar, eggs, and the flavor (vanilla, strawberries, etc.)
Other flavors, like Banana Split, have "corn syrup" and corn starch, for example. Keep reading your ingredients lists! :)

@arielkirkwood Thanks for the info. I was mainly speaking about the brands I could find in my local grocery.

@Kyocus That's sad. Well if it's a choice between this HFCS rubbish and all the stuff with aspartame in, it's a good incentive to have a healthy junk free life. In the mean time enjoy yr ice cream :)

What about increased convenience--cars, and elevators--reducing the amount of exercise we do on a day-to-day basis? It's never just one thing.

I'm still betting that the obesity epidemic comes from people eating more calories than they expend. Lazy and gluttonous fools.
