Fructose, commonly found in fruits, honey, and processed foods (particularly in high-fructose corn syrup-containing beverages), is typically metabolised in the liver through a process distinct from glucose metabolism. Unlike glucose, fructose metabolism is not tightly regulated by insulin and follows ...
[56]. As such,high fructose corn syruptoday is believed to be the most commonly consumed sugar[57]. In animal, when there is an oversupply ofdietary carbohydrate, the excess carbohydrate is converted into triglycerides. This involves the synthesis of fatty acids from acetyl-CoA andesterificat...

Whether dietary fructose (as sucrose or high fructose corn syrup) has unique effects separate from its role as carbohydrate, or, in fact, whether it can be considered inherently harmful, even a toxin, has assumed prominence in nutrition. Much of the popular and scientific media have already dec...
A good 30 percent of High-fructose corn syrup calories consumed end up as body fat deposited directly on your belly. "Fructose exerts toxic effects on the liver that are similar to those of alcohol."[Lustig 2012] If that was NOT bad enough the consumption of this chronic liver toxin encour...
While consumption of table sugar decreased over the last 25 years, yearly consumption of fructose has increased over this period of time from 0.5 lb to over 60 lb per person18. This increase is primarily due to an explosion in the use of high-fructose corn syrup. Fructose is sweeter than ...
Consumption of high-fructose corn syrup in beverages may play an important role in the epidemic of obesity. Am. J. Clin. Nutr.79(4):537-543. Chenon, D., M. Phaka, L. H. Monnier, C. Colette, A. Orsetti and J. Mirouze. 1984. Effects of dietary fiber on postprandial glycemic ...
Labels do not disclose the excess-free-fructose/unpaired-fructose content in foods/beverages. Objective was to estimate excess-free-fructose intake using USDA loss-adjusted-food-availability (LAFA) data (1970–2019) for high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) an
It seems to be human nature to want to find ONE SOLUTION to complex problems. Obesity is no different. Every few years something new is blamed as THE CAUSE OF OBESITY. At least one of those is high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). Like others before, it has been blamed as the cause of ...
Fructose is much sweeter than other hexoses and is therefore widely used as a sweetener in processed food and beverages in the form of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), which is a mixture of approximately 40% glucose and 60% fructose. People in developed countries may ingest up to 50–100 ...
