high fructose corm syrup = bad

I love the new commercials saying that high fructose corn syrup is good, and then the person stating it was bad cannot rebuke. This is why they don't hire good old Dane to act these out:

The biggest problem is the link with HFCS and obesity. Why, in America where all things sugar go down the gullet, would this one be picked on. HFCS has high amounts of fructose (duh), and when it comes time to turn that into stuff our body uses, it is a bit different than what sucrose would do.

Sucrose (sugar) is slowed down by an enzyme that needs to be made called sucrase (easy to remember). Fructose will be made eventually, and the paths start to look the same. Fructose obviously has no need for this enzyme, and the rate limiting step is nullified.

So moderation of the stuff is correct, as the commercial says, but let's face it, the American diet thinks moderation is not supersizing... My biggest beef, especially with colas comes from where the fructose goes next. When absorbed by the small intestines, it will enter the hepatic portal. That is to say, the high way to the liver...and without brakes like sucrase, you are looking at home. Rats have been shown to have significant live problems when on high fructose diets compared to controls, but I am sure that in no way would have any bearing on us non-rats.

I was told by a powerlifter friend of mine, honey. Myself, I use unpasturiezed honey, since it's more intact like that.

I once read the process on how white sugar is made. Beleive me dude if you read that paragragh you'd never have whit sugar again.

I'm talking phosphoric acid, chalk, silca sand.

They use alot of very toxic deadly chemicals to make white sugar. Essentially white sugar has no bioavalability. It's no different than eating Mcdonalds. Maybe you knew the experiments of ppl taking cheeesburgers & boxes of fries & putting them in the closet for a year & coming back &, no mold no rot, looks the same as day one.

I'm too lazy to look up white sugar, but if you do you'll have an epiphany, legit. It's like smoking dude, no kidding.

From all the research i have read off of it, high fructose corn syrup is the main cheap sweetener in just about all junk food and soft drinks. they have been trying to link it to the whole obesity epidemic in the U.S.

I don't see it being that bad in moderation

for all practical purposes:

HFCS = regular sugar

[cu10]

fructose = sugar
corn = omega-6 power house

therefore: high fructose corn syrup = high sugar omega-6 syrup

it should be everyone's first step in their journey toward metabolic derangement.
