Sugar-sweetened beverages such as sodas, energy drinks, sports drinks and juices are by far the biggest sources of added sugar, specifically high fructose corn syrup in the average American diet. Sugar: sweet an
This occurred due to an industrial preference shift from sucrose to high-fructose-corn-syrup (HFCS) that began ~ 1980. During this period, HFCS became the main sweetener in US soda. Importantly, there has been more fructose in HFCS than thought, as the fructose-to-glucose ratio in popular ...
Why proclaim that a cereal is good for you when it contains a potentially harmful ingredient like high fructose corn syrup? I wrote about the debate between HFCS and regular sugar before, and mentioned this: “In soda, it has been found that by using HFCS instead of pure sugar it can mak...
“This study revealed the surprising result that colorectal cancers utilize high-fructose corn syrup, the major ingredient in most sugary sodas and many other processed foods, as a fuel to increase rates of tumor growth,” commented Lewis Cantley, PhD, co-corresponding author and professor of can...
For example, people swigging all-naturalsodas sweetenedwith pure cane sugar are still doing themselves harm, just as if thesodashad been loaded instead with high-fructose corn syrup, said Mario Kratz, a research associate professor at the University of Washington School of Public Health in Seattle...
They actually claim that this syrup is ‘made from corn, doesn’t have artificial ingredients, has the same amount of calories as sugar and [is] fine in moderation.’ In fact, high fructose corn syrup is anything but natural and it’s high time to shed some light on this ingredient ...
detecting other sugars, especially maltose, 2) compare data across all methods to determine the actual free fructose-to-glucose ratio in beverages made either with or without high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), and 3) expand the analysis to determine fructose content in commonly consumed juice ...
also known asglucose-fructose or isoglucoseandglucose-fructose syrupis a sweetener made from corn starch. The United States Food and Drug Administration states that HFCS is a safe ingredient for food and beverage manufacturing. High-fructose corn syrup is a common sweetener in sodas and fruit-flav...
17 This led to development of the 'fructositis' hypothesis which raises the possibility that consumption of unpaired (excess free) fructose, as occurs in high fructose corn syrup and certain other foods, contributes to the intestinal in situ formation of pro-inflammatory advanced glycation end-...
carbonated fruit juices containing HFCS have one-third the amount of reactive carbonyl species found in carbonated sodas with HFCS, while non-carbonated tea beverages containing high-fructose corn syrup, which already contain EGCG, have only about one-sixth the levels of carbonyls found in regular ...
