Dietitian Carolyn O'Neil talks about food myths and added sugars on WCBD-TV's News 2 Today.

She didn't say anything about the insulin resistance in the HFCS. I'm type 1 diabetic, I inherited it. I have been for nearly 5 years, and I have payed attention to what food does to my blood sugars. I count carbs to know how much insulin to take. Fruit doesn't do anything to my blood sugars. Cane sugar doesn't do anything as long as I count the carbs it says on the label. When I eat HFCS, like jelly or crackers with HFCS in it, I have to take more insulin than what the carbs say on the label.

So, half fructose is not "high fructose"? That's like saying meat has to be more than 50% fat to be considered "high in fat."

@LegozFreak Our goal is to clear up misinformation about high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). One of the misperceptions is that HFCS is high in fructose compared to table sugar. HFCS is available principally in two formulations, 42 percent & 55 percent fructose. The HFCS 55 has the same sweetness as table sugar, and the HFCS used in breads, jams & yogurt is 42% fructose – actually less fructose than what's found in table sugar, and both HFCS 42 and 55 are metabolized the same as sucrose.
