High fructose corn syrup is a sweetener that manufacturers make from corn starch.
As with other sugars, it can cause tooth decay, obesity, and metabolic syndrome when a person consumes it in large quantities. Health experts continue to debate whether or not high fructose corn syrup HFCS is worse than other sugars. Many natural and organic health advocates argue that HFCS is more dangerous than other sugars.
HFCS is not necessary for a healthful diet. In fact, avoiding it may help a person maintain a healthful weight. HFCS is a very sweet derivative of corn starch. Starch consists of chains of glucose, which is a sugar. Breaking corn starch down into individual glucose molecules forms corn syrup. To create HFCS, manufacturers add enzymes to corn syrup that convert some of the glucose to fructose. Fructose is the type of sugar present in fruit and is very sweet.
Research has consistently shown links between the consumption of HFCS and obesity , metabolic dysregulation, and similar health issues. According to a study of mice , HFCS consumption increased fasting glucose and reduced the ability of mice to clear glucose from the body.
The study also found changes in dopamine signaling in the group that consumed HFCS. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that affects feelings of motivation and reward. Past research has linked impaired dopamine signaling to obesity. Contrary to some previous studies, HFCS did not increase body weight. This suggests that HFCS may undermine health even if it does not cause weight gain. Several other studies have linked HFCS availability to higher rates of conditions such as diabetes and heart disease.
However, this research is correlational and does not mean that HFCS directly causes these conditions. I was like what? So off to look it up and I found this Blog to read and I have enjoyed it completely and all the comments thank you so very much for the knowledge. Using no HFCS is very important to ones health. Phosphoric Acid is another dangerous ingredient used in commercial food products.
It chelate calcium out of the body resulting in osteoporosis. Thank you for this list! I am just getting started on learning about how bad the high fructose corn syrup is.
I do want to begin the process though of finding healthy alternatives. Thanks again! Please email me any updates. I have recently learned I am allergic to corn in all forms and have been finding it hard to find foods without corn syrup! Thank you very much! Thank you for taking the time to compile this list. I do wish it was longer! I love bread and I will switch now. Keep up the great work! Thanks again, Christine. I hear you on the bread sister, if I had my way I would live off of bread wine and cheese!!!
Thank you so much my grandson is 10 years old and has been diagnosed with a Fructose Intolerance it has been awful for both him and I. There is hardly no literature about this diet what are we to do he is very optimistic that he will grow out of it one day.
Foods with HFCS are not really foods at all. It will be harder for him to understand that at his age especially when his peers are eating a bunch of junk food at the lunch table, school parties and holidays. Please keep us updated … much love! Gwendolyn, I was diagnosed with fructose intolerance last year.
My doctor gave me a list of foods to avoid and which ones are safe. Basically, everything containing HFCS is off limits lots of ice creams, industrially processed cookies and pastries, regular soda, salad dressings, barbecue sauces,…. Further, honey and fruit juice concentrates should be avoided as sweeteners. As far as fruits go: they should contain glucose in balance with our in excess of fructose both are found in fruits as natural fruit sugars. To avoid: apple, pear, melon, watermelon, sherry, grapea.
Safer are stone fruit, berry fruit, bananas, citrus fruit, kiwi, pineapple because they have a higher glucose content. Also good are glucose-rich accompaniments to offset a higher intake of fructose: glucose sweetened sports drinks — note that Powerade contains HFCS, Gatorade does not. For yogurt, add chobani, it is high in protein and low in fat and sugar. Uses natural and unprocessed fruit. Debi, HFCS is an artificial sweetener because of the way it is processed.
It is also extremely addictive. There has been a recent study in California, they fed rats with HFCS and cocaine and the rats were observed for several weeks. Another study was with two groups of rats, one was given glucose and the other HFCS, the group with glucose went to sleep like a normal animal after a big meal however the group fed with HFCS wanted more, and was anxiously looking it.
Or if you have an allergy to any and all artificial sugars and now found out you have a corn allergy as well omg hate life right now. You are correct that other Bryer flavors do have it, even vanilla ice cream, other than the Natural Vanilla you mentioned.
Your Mayo list is definitely incomplete. Also look at La Brea Breads…. I am planning on making my own mayo sometime soon. I personally prefer mayo without sugar when I make homemade, I use oil, vinegar, egg, and a pinch of mustard and salt.
No wonder we are getting so obese. Even foods you would not expect it to be in. HFCS also lengthens the shelf life of the products it is used in. It should be banned along with not labeling GMOs as such. If it is so safe, then why not label it and let me make the choice.
If money talks, they should get the message loud and clear. High fructose corn syrup makes me sick. It brings out my GERD, and I am now diabetic, or very close to it insulin resistant I am loaded with skintags all over my neck, and elsewhere, which is a sign of diabetes.
I have become quite fat, especially in the belly, and around my waist. Population control, and pure greed is the reason these companies want us dead ASAP! It is certainly working. It is all out of control as more than half the population is dying of cancer, and numerous other manmade for profit diseases. I once read a book that talked about the FDA. The food corporations alternate CEO s on the board through political means. So aspertame a poison declared as toxic in the 70s is in many diet products.
You cannot sue the FDA. Americans are obese ,diabetic , and hyper tension due to the poisonous food supply.
This puts a tremendous amount of pressure on our health care system. Heart disease is rampant. Americans are a mess. Bloated and mass brainwashed by the corporate media who is owned wholly by only two corporations both of whom are nothing but propaganda ministries. We are being poisoned on purpose so that pharmasuitical corporations sell billions of pills that do nothing but exacerbate the problem. What can you do? Eat whole foods ,raed labels spread the word.
Well said Paul and do true. The FDA and big pharmaceutical companies are every bit as evil as the drug cartels in Mexico. Amen Lloyd, you are absolutely right. The FDA is so crooked.!!
