Obesity - Why Corn Syrup is Bad

[jojocatlady]

This guys needs to go back to school.

1. Fructose doesn't raise blood sugar. It's shuttled directly to the liver.

2. Glucose raises blood sugar and thus insulin. But insulin plays a role in telling the brain to stop eating.

3. Whole grains are problematic on many fronts: high in starch and potential food intolerances. Plus most grains we eat are GMOs.

His overall message is correct and is indeed an important one, however his mention of fructose causing an insulin spike is a false claim. The pancreas does not have receptors for fructose (only for glucose) and in fact fructose can only be metabolized (broken down) by cells found in the liver. It is interesting to note that this characteristic of fructose is one that forms the basis of the definition of many of the modern day chemicals that we have labelled toxins/poisons to the human body.

Only sugars you should be getting is from fruits, you have to eat the skin with it to to get the full benefit.

HFCS has nothing to do with getting Fat. I drink 6 sodas a day or more. Have been for decades. I weigh 115. And I'm a guy at 5 foot 7 inches. Actually I only have 8 percent body fat. I have always been between 115 and 125 pounds.

[samreyut]

its everywhere in the food that we buy except the fresh and all natural foods. prepared manufactured foods chances are have HFCS. SO PLEASE READ THE INGREDIENTS CAREFULLY.

The rats are jumping ship.

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.

What about brown rice syrup?  Is that any better/less worse than HFCS?

[Boarpower]

I feel that one is misled about the evils of corn in our food. Corn syrup is simply sugar, period. They simply found a cheaper sugar. There is no conspiracy It is simply our competitive market providing products that the consumers want. If people would start buying more healthy foods the industry would respond. Again there is NO CONSPIRACY, ANYONE CAN EAT WHATEVER THEY WANT TO!

Bullshit! I used to be able to drink a bottle of Coca-Cola without drinking this SHIT! Now it's made with HFCS. As are most processed foods. HFCS is being shoved down the throats of anyone who doesn't eat totally organic food. And Organic foods are priced higher than many people can afford. BS it's no conspiracy. If it weren't the CRA wouldn't Be lying on TV about it being "safe in moderation" Try to eat it in moderation. It's in nearly every damn processed food.

DUMBASS!

I don't want poison.

Government subsidies to corn growers (despite massive surplus corn production) and import tariffs on natural sugar from cane and beets is NOT a competitive market. It is an artificial market promoting an artificial product, in this case. And no sugar found in nature shares the same chemical makeup found in HFCS, which is the product of a 17 step lab process.

AMERICAN COCA COLA- sweetened with MAN MADE HFCS

[excavatoree]

If you can find it, Mexican Coca-Cola tastes MUCH better than the US version with HFCS.

Not to mention that many foods that young children eat are purchased by their parents. So they get no protection from this poison.

[imyersweetheart]
