High Fructose Corn Syrup: Tasty Toxin or Slandered Sweetener?

Still, none of this alters the fact that a diet high in fructose has been shown to cause — or at least contribute to — hyperlipidemia, obesity, insulin resistance and cardiac disease. However, those who have been paying attention will have noticed that HFCS is not the ONLY sweetener that contains significant amounts of fructose.

snip

For people who are worried about their health or their children’s health — and who isn’t, these days — the data suggest that the best choice is to reduce intake of all sweeteners containing fructose. That includes not only the evil HFCS, but also natural cane sugar, molasses (which is just impure cane sugar), brown sugar (ditto) and honey. Even “unsweetened” (no added sugar) fruit juices need to be considered when limiting your family’s fructose intake.

Finally, the best nutritional advice is to eat everything in moderation — and that includes sweets. While a diet high in fructose may increase your risk of obesity, diabetes and heart disease — maybe — a fructose-free diet is not guaranteed to prevent those diseases. Eat a variety of foods, including a small amount of sweets, get enough exercise, watch your (and your children’s) weight and see your doctor for regular health check-ups.

And stop worrying that HFCS is poisoning you and your children.

Cancer cells slurp up fructose, US study finds

Study shows fructose used differently from glucose

* Findings challenge common wisdom about sugars

WASHINGTON Aug 2 (Reuters) – Pancreatic tumor cells use fructose to divide and proliferate, U.S. researchers said on Monday in a study that challenges the common wisdom that all sugars are the same.

Tumor cells fed both glucose and fructose used the two sugars in two different ways, the team at the University of California Los Angeles found.

They said their finding, published in the journal Cancer Research, may help explain other studies that have linked fructose intake with pancreatic cancer, one of the deadliest cancer types.

Princeton University study notes that HFCS DOES have different metabolic properties because the Fructose in HFCS is “free and unbound” unlike sugar’s binding with glucose and therefore is immediately ingested.

The explosion in cancer and other diseases caused by the corporate-induced diet. Meanwhile Big Pharma, the for-profit medical industry, and the Big Agra laughs all the way to the bank. They make you sick through diet and lifestyle, then financially rape you to treat it.

Sites like ScienceBasedMedicine.com are collaborators/shills in this. In this case it is a coporatist elite using manipultion to encourge group think, stigmatization of dissent, and use of their horrid product.

The same tactics were used to sell such disparate things as the WMD lies that drove the USA into Iraq, as well as eugenics from the 1890′s to the 1930′s which led to the forced sterilization of millions thruout the USA, Europe, and other parts of the world.

For a seminal treatment on advertising, mass psychology, and social conditioning see Edward Bernays' (he was Sigmund Freud’s nephew) 1928 book “Propoganda”. Bernays was the father of the PR (Public Relations) industry, and foundational to the modern advert industry. Orwell cited Propoganda as a major source of inspiration for his dystopian classic '1984'.
