RE: High Fructose Corn Syrup- The Obesity Sugar

in #steemstem7 years ago (edited)

Sucrose isn't really any better. The issue is purely with fructose. The body processes HFCS just fine, I've written on this topic in the past as well. The health issues revolve around fructose. The compositional difference between sucrose (table sugar) and HFCS is only 5% fructose. It's this extra fructose that is the issue, however it should be noted that use of sucrose in stead of HFCS is not an acceptable alternative.

You are 100% correct. I Singled out HFCS because of its widespread use and the fact that many people are not aware of this sugars existence.

I should have clarified, however, that, sucrose is by no means a lesser evil and should also be avoided like the plague.

Thank you for bringing this fact to light as well as your continued support.

Of course, thank you for your hard work.
