Fructose reduced lifespan of mice by 95%

[Guest guest]

This information is provided on the website of Manchester College in

Indiana:

" High fructose corn syrup contains what are called `free' or unbound

fructose molecules. These molecules have been found to interfere with

normal heart functioning, among other things. A recent study performed

by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) showed that high

fructose diets shortened the life span of laboratory mice from the

normal two years to an astounding five weeks. One study performed with

human subjects was inadvertently stopped short of completion as some

of the subjects developed abnormal heart conditions. "

I haven't been able to confirm the authenticity of this information.

There is evidence that fructose accelerates the

formation of advanced glycation endbyproducts, one of

the several theories of aging. Example:

This " evidence " might be more credible if it were more recent. This article

is 7 years old, an eternity in the rapidly growing field of nutrition.
