HFCS entered
the American food supply in the 1970s and the rates of obesity began
to rise about the same time. Consequently, many blame HFCS.
However, the calories in HFCS are no different from those in refined
white sugar. The makeup of HFCS (55 percent fructose and 45 percent
glucose) is close to that of white sugar (50 percent fructose and 50
percent glucose) and our bodies digest HFCS and sugar in very
similar ways. Nutritionally speaking, the two are virtually
identical.
Interesting Fact: Coca Cola produced in Mexico is still made with
sugar (as opposed to corn syrup in the US), and many people claim to
be able to taste the difference, but after numerous tests, results
vary widely in their conclusions.
I seldom comment, but after browsing a few of
ReplyDeletethe remarks here "High-Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) and Obesity".
I actually do have 2 questions for you if it's okay. Is it only me or do a few of the comments appear like they are written by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are writing at additional sites, I'd like
to keep up with everything fresh you have to post.
Could you post a list of all of your public sites like your
twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
