Dangers of High Fructose Corn Syrup w/RogerDrummer

[SuperEroyale]

your body needs sugar but not additional,only from the natural foods you eat.

[ben11172]

high fructose corn syrup can destroy your brain cell right?

[ViciousAlienKlown]

HFC was first introduced in the late 70s and most scientists/nutritionists were up in arms about it. Now we know with obesity and diabetes is on a sharp rise which DIRECTLY connected to the introduction of HFC. Its real simple....High Fructose Cornsyrup should be banned....period.

[blabla9able]

Thanks for this information. People please wake up and stand up against the food industry! Go to your supermarket, ask all kind of questions about whats in a product, untill they get bored with you. Call up food companies, annoy them with all kinds of questions. Meanwhile, get even with the food industry by eating biological products, grow your own vegetable, use water filters on your tap water, etc. etc. Wake up, they are slowly killing us with msg, mercury, sweeteners, vaccins, fluoride etc.

[blackbootparty]

Thank you! We need a class-action lawsuit against the manufacturers of this poison but I won't hold my breath-that'll kill me quicker than the HFCS!

[dan17shp]

It's in bread, pickles, powerade, jelly, etc wow this makes me sick no wonder we are the fatest country bc we mass produce it because our government don't give a shit

[ThePowerWithinMe]

The food industry makes us sick and the pharmaceutical industry makes us better.... and they are bedfellows.... result... some very rich people and billions of people who suffer so they can be rich.

[q7spiz]

I knew it! Damn GMO's!

[consciousnessofone]

Crap food group, great idea!

I get so TIRED of reading every label on every product every time to insure they have not started adding it.

I say make it a LAW to put a big red X on all products made with HFCS or aspartame.

[tinarawks]

What if they are being dishonest on the labels? If the FDA pushes aspartame and high-fructose corn syrup, what makes us think businesses will tell the truth about ingredients?

[Rhamsody]

@tinarawks they wont. pretty soon we'll all need a chemistry lab just to be sure...

[ThePowerWithinMe]

@tinarawks What do you mean what if? We live in a world where money is more important than the health billions of people.

[JMoore4291]

nick diaz sent me here

[carnin]

@JMoore4291 he didnt sent you here you look at his like and came here

[vdfgsrthsrt]

@JMoore4291 are you seriou ufc  nick diaz

[JMoore4291]

@vdfgsrthsrt no, im not seriou, but i am serious!

[AnimeFanPan]

well I am still alive from drinking and eating stuff with that in it

not much we can do about just like aspartame

[LoveVanillaRose]

AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET US FREE

[mordred612]

The US is ranked 50th for life expectancy at birth among Portugal, Bosnia, Panama, Costa Rica, and Cuba. Interesting to note that the countries ranked at the top have socialized health care. Living longer means more of a strain on social security, doesn't it? I've lived outside the country and the number of people we have with allergies by comparison is astounding, but allergy meds are big business, aren't they?

[ALPHAandOMEGA44]

A FREE MARKET WORKS.

THE FDA JUST LOBBIES FOR BIG CORPORATIONS in which our stupid ass government gives those subsidies to in which we pay off the interest to a national debt owned by a non-Federal private European Bank.

GREAT VIDEO

[babelnumber5]

Very informative and great advice! I'll definitely keep this in mind when shopping and getting drinks at the gas station.

[DietSolutionReviews1]

I personally do whatever I can to avoid Hight Fructose Corn Syrup

[Kparris7]

This guy doesn't know what he's talking about. Nearly all plant food products you eat are genetically modified. If we actually made a move to organic food a few billion people would die because you can't produce enough of it.

This is just another person trying to control other people lives. There has been only one effective study done by Dr. Hoebel at Princeton that shows mice gaining weight because of HFC. HFC isn't poison but consuming enough, like everything else can make you fat.

[nadiya1is1here]

@Kparris7 oh yes you can. if we would stop polluting our world so much then we would be able to have organic food enough, and more than enough.

[Kparris7]

@nadiya1is1here I am sorry to inform you that you are incorrect. I realize that you heart is in the right place but people would die as a result. We faced the crisis of not being able to produce enough food to support population growth until synthetic fertilizers were made. Organic farmers only use natural fertilizers, i.e. manure which can lead to environmental hazards in the quantities used. I must warn you you're thinking will only increase the price of food for those who cannot afford it

[nadiya1is1here]

@Kparris7 well if I WAS incorrect, how did ppl live earlier? when EVERYTHING was only organic. that just explains everything. this earth was created organic, and should continue like that.

[Kparris7]

@nadiya1is1here I suggest if you want to continue this conversation you should just pm me. In 1900 there was less than 2 billion people. Now in 2011 there is 7 billion. We have to feed almost 4 times as many people than before when we were only starting to get synthetic fertilizers. If you want to make the earth organic, you'll have to starve a few billion people on this planet.

[chaparra71]

@Kparris7 Why is it that so many folks think that peole who promote arganic farming methods are crazy? Actually, organic is the way it had always been up until the 1900's, that was just the way it was. It is not some new and crazy idea. Synthetic fertilizers in no way compare to natural fertilizers. For one thing, synthetics only contain 3 compounds, omitting any and all of the important trace elements plants need. Also, in using only chemicals, we are taking away from the soil, never enriching.

[Kparris7]

@chaparra71 It's not that a few people buying organic food is bad. It's when people try to get their legislatures to force farmers to be organic. It's a selfish thing to do. One: Not all people choose to eat organic and it is their choice to do so. Two: Organic foods are much costlier to produce, not everyone can afford to buy organic all the time. Three: If we did make a total transition to organic we wouldn't have enough food to feed everyone. People would starve to death.

[tgurlplaymate4u]

this guy has the right idea about the food groups, but it will never happen, The FDA knows whats in our food and does NOT give a rats ass!

[imeat]

you are 100 percent wrong about GMOs

[tgurlplaymate4u]

@imeat lol.....glad you think so....YOU can eat it all you want, ME and thousands of others WANT NO PARTSOF FRANKENSTEIN FOODS!!!

[orbitmint4]

your old

[SnootsDwagon]

@MrVogue: That evaluation makes sense. I'm no chemist; I just examine what I read and hear for grains of apparent reality. Your analysis of refined sugar vs high fructose corn syrup seems reasonable enough. I would still ask manufacturers however, aside from pure greed-based profit... why not just use raw sugar in the first place? I mean, food vs fat... and why does the government continue to allow these companies to poison us? Without a doubt-- a very corrupt system.

[paulpaid]

@SnootsDwagon "aside from pure greed-based profit... why not just use raw sugar in the first place?" You just answered your own question, family.

[gongoloo]

@SnootsDwagon greed runs our economics.

[TheMrVogue]

I have a question my good sir: Where did you do your chemical analysis of HFCS, and from which manufacturers? Also, what are your credentials (please include reputable sources aswell)?

[MrTerrificII]

@TheMrVogue

Don't worry about it. Keep sucking down that HFCS! Suck it down good!

[SnootsDwagon]

This guy was *almost* right-- except that refined sugar and fructose is about on the same scale. Now, NATURAL sugar (raw sugar) metabolizes into glucose... which is food. Both refined sugar and fructose metabolizes into fat. So yeah, eat raw sugar instead-- it's good for you just like honey is good for you. Nothing wrong with raw sugar-- in reasonable amounts. But as this guy says, there are no "reasonable mounts" of high fructose corn syrup. Bottom line: eat natural. Duh.

[TheMrVogue]

@SnootsDwagon Not necessarily. Refined sugar is Sucrose, a disaccharide composed of a glucose part and a fructose part... So its still better than HFCS, which is completely fructose.

[arynify]

@TheMrVogue HFCS is NOT completely fructose - where did you even get that from?? "high fructose corn syrup has either 42 % or 55% fructose, with the remaining sugars being primarily glucose" but that is from the corn growers association, so "primarily" glucose means glucose and then a host of other stuff that they chose not to mention.

[TheMrVogue]

@arynify I didn't know that... So it's actually healthier than I thought it would be... But I'm a little bit confused by your extreme opposition lol...

[CoolNASCARGuy]

Cool, XyloSweet. I use that, mostly in coffee.

[kwamesei]

Thanks for the info... People need to be more aware of what they consume.

[EuroHebrew]

Thanks for telling the truth. I only wish my wife would listen. She still buys "crap" all the time and I still end up eating it.

[Ambushcrysis]

what the SHIT, IVE BEEN EATING HFCS SINCE I WAS 2 YEARS OLD.!!!!

[dromycatcher]

is xylitol not chemical either?

[simpsonstewie]

@dromycatcher xylitol is commonly referred to as "sugar alcohol". what this means is that sugar is fermented into an alcohol. Some sugar alcohols are absorbed into the body while others are simply excreted with your feces. The alcohols that get into the blood stream get filtered in the kidneys. Research needs to be done to show whether in the long run sugar alcohols may cause kidney complications. Xylitol is not absorbed and will be excreted with feces. xylitol is a naturally occurring chemical.

[auggiedoggy]

I like your idea of the CRAP food group.

[auggiedoggy]

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.

[psychosis5041]

Mercury makes you go crazy.

[ensanglant]

@butterflys firstly, it is spelled mercury, just fyi. Secondly, while there is a lot of real science in here, there is even more skewed opinion. Mercury is one of those words that makes people freak out. Mercury is horribly deadly, but only in vapor form. In the ingested form, organ damage from mercury takes a decade or more to kill you. Mercury used to be a laxative and people would swallow a liter or more. The entire baby boomer generation played with and ate mercury. Character limit got me.

[simpsonstewie]

@ensanglant no mercury is spelled Hydrargyrum

[JulianDaniEmilyShow]

what is murcry?

[butterflys17]

When are they going to list murcury as an ingredient in foods? We as consumers have a right to know!. I no longer consume high fructose corn syrup or fish because of the murcury. But I ate so much murcury as a kid because my parents didnt know. It just makes me so angry!

[ZZz7ZZzzZZz7ZzZZzz7Z]

what about honey? is honey bad for you?

[Awaitingcertainty]

@ZZz7ZZzzZZz7ZzZZzz7Z Unfortunately honey is not great, nor is maple syrup (believe me) BUT some low carb doctors use them in recipes to a small extent: Like the Eades and their Low Carb Comfort Food Cookbook; the Primal Blueprint Cookbook (Mark Sisson)...The Schwarzbein Principle books are really against DIET SODA (and sugar of any kind)...Watch Robert Lustig's Sugar, the Bitter Truth on YouTube. WOW! Also Gary Taubes "Good Calories, Bad Calories" is 5 years researching the reserach

[Awaitingcertainty]

Mr. Herbal Wisdom is wrong. Sugar is identical to HFCS. Sugar=50% fructose & 50% glucose. HFCS=55% fructose & 45% glucose. A Japanese scientist invented the enzyme process to make it in the 1960s (payback for WWII) and our gov't under Prez Nixon wanted to stabilize food prices and came up with HFCS to do so. It's cheaper than sugar, doesn't (or didn't) have the bad rap of sugar ("It's NATURAL, it's made from CORN!") & can be transported in big tanker trucks and put in EVERYTHING.

[rickydepths1]

@Awaitingcertainty he is right...aspartame is a poison..and high fructose corn does have mercury in it.

[Awaitingcertainty]

@rickydepths1 I agree completely with your two points. I LIKE Mr. Herbal Wisdom; he just doesn't understand that sugar is sugar is sugar (the fructose aspect). One has to condemn IT just as much as HFCS.

[meesphht]

@Awaitingcertainty Sugar's chain is different whereas HFCS has no chain with its fructose - its just fructose so the body doesn't have to process it as it does sugar. Although sugar is not good for you either it isn't right to compare it to the dangerously pure form of fructose as HFCS. That's why you saw heavy people in the past but nothing like you see today. HFCS has super blown people up and the worst thing is - no one was told we had to find this out by mass experimentation.

[Awaitingcertainty]

@meesphht Mostly u r right - but sugar is essentially identical to HFCS: 50% glucose and 50% fructose & HFCS is 55% fructose 45% glucose. I think fructose from whatever source is processed the same by the liver as fat. The heinousness of HFCS (see Robert Lustig's "Sugar, the Bitter Truth" on youtube; Gary Taubes book, Mark Sisson, The Drs. Eades, Diana Schwarzbein's books; Jorge Cruise on youtube: "Death by Sugar") is that it tastes the same as sugar, is liquid & transportable, and cheap.

[theUSER101]

only 3 fat pissed off morons gave this video a thumbs down.

[goil2yrface]

Mercury concentrations in the samples testing positive ranged from 0.012 μg/g to 0.570 μg/g (micrograms per gram). Nine of the twenty samples tested did contain measurable amounts of mercury.[52]

[goil2yrface]

A pilot study reported that some high-fructose corn syrup manufactured in the U.S. in 2005 contained trace amounts of mercury. The mercury appeared to come from sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid, two chemicals used in the manufacture of high-fructose corn syrup. The caustic soda used by HFCS may be produced in industrial chlorine chlor-alkali plants using the mercury cell Castner-Kellner process, and may contain traces of mercury if this specific process is utilized.

[Moksha09]

High Fructose Corn Syrup is one of the most toxic things to put in your body. This has been known for decades. It is so highly processed that the body can't tolerate it. The mercury is bad, yes, the GMO is potentially disastrous, the main known danger is the reaction of your body to corn syrup. This is thoroughly documented in many nutrition books. Look it up. While you're at it, research your bodies reaction to the combination of HFC and formaldehyde found in soda pop. In good health.

[christiebelle1972]

We make maple syrup from the trees on our property which is a delicious sweetener in moderation. I am questioning the mercury issue? where does the mercury come from? where is the documentation? not trying to argue, just curious.

[gledalac1979]

@christiebelle1972

people shouldn't even use sweeteners, it's not found in nature. All the sugar in nature is covered in fiber for a reason to be digested, think all fruits and vegetables

[exclamation3mark]

how did the mercury get there? processing artifact, cropping byprod? confused?

[thereichertfamily]

Each can of soda contains 13 cups of sugar in it. That is like eating a bowl full of sugar each time you guzzle down one.

I'm so thankfull that there are people out there making these videos about the truth and making others aware. keep on posting!!!

[Novatwix]

Think about that for a moment. If 1 can soda = 12oz., how do you fit 104oz of sugar in a can that only holds 12oz? Assuming you have no other ingredients in the can, 13 cups of sugar is an impossible feat.

Of course, soda is still bad for you, but check your math.

[ctchrisf]

@thereichertfamily its 13 teaspoons which is like 1/3 of the can is pure sugar

[thereichertfamily]

I was being sarcastic which is hard to convey late at night when I posted it. I posted the incorrect as it is 13 teaspoons. Thanks for the clarification as I was extremely tired when posting this last night!

[daybyday12music]

Well, as soon as I;m done with my 24 pack of Dr. Pepper, I'm going to stop drinking soda all together

[WolYou]

Sugar is very healthy. Its vital to your health. The type of sugar in the USA is not healthy at all. Have a look at countries around the world. Nobody has problems. Only the people in the USA.

[Nirky]

I had thought that HFCS was identical to sugar in it's effects, glad to know the truth, especially about the mercury! Thanks Ricky.

[theonewillcome]

Thank you my friend, there was certainly no mixing of words or deep decision making when it came to choosing the name for that food group :)

[detoxexpert]

Love the comment about the new "food" group. What a great idea!

[eTernaLBOWLING]

Thanks for posting the video, but most of all thanks for even caring enough to make this video.

[DivineEducation]

Thank you for making this video. With all the new commercials trying to convince us that it is OK for us when we know it helps us gain weight! 50% of it has mercury! How can they think we are that gullible?

[rdalchemy]

Thanks. Staying healthy has as much to do with what you avoid as what you eat. It's all about being aware and sharing information.
