The Dangers of High Fructose Corn Syrup: Apr 9, 1:19am 2 reviews
http://ezinearticles.com/?The-Dangers-of-High-Fructose-Corn-Syrup&id=28535; Websites like this perplex me. The author has at least a feasible basis for his argument, eating more sugar (calories) makes people fat. . .that's a problem. But his facts are just. . .wacky. Dextrose is "more or less an industry term for glucose". . .no, dextrose /is/ glucose. Specifically D-glucose. Dextrose (read: glucose) is "not as bad as sucrose". . .but it's still bad. (Isn't this article about the dangers of HCFS? Also, isn't the alternative to HCFS Sucrose? Also, later he demonizes the switch from Sucrose (table sugar) to HCFS in Pepsi in the 1980s saying, "Improvements in production [of HCFS] occurred in the 1980's making it cheaper than most other sweeteners. I remember in the 1980's when the price of Pepsi dropped from about $3 for a sixpack to about $1.50. In 1966 refined sugar such as sucrose was the was the leading sweetener / additive." It is important to note here that the cause of the comparatively low cost of HCFS and the high cost of Sucrose can be attributed primarily to corn subsidies and sugar tariffs, NOT improvement of processes.)
Finally, at the end of his recommendations, the author says "Consumption of the limited amounts of fructose that occur in fresh whole organic fruit is not a problem." Keep in mind here that sugar in fruits is almost exclusively fructose (also called "fruit sugar" and that a banana contains approximately 5 teaspoons of sugar, in the form of fructose, glucose and sucrose. this is equivalent to some of the demonized foods on his list, but it's "ok" because the quantities of fructose are limited.

Pseudo. . .if that. . .science.
