Guest guest Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Hi folks: Many here have warned of the dangers of HFCS, and I have asked why fructose and dextrose in HFCS would be any different from the fructose in fruit and the dextrose from elsewhere. (Of course the extra calories in any type of sugar will add a substantial number of calories). This paper seems to be laying the blame on non-sugar compounds present in HFCS, presumably produced during processing. So now this seems to be making a lot more sense to me. Here is the report: " In the current study, Chi-Tang Ho, Ph.D., conducted chemical tests among 11 different carbonated soft drinks containing HFCS. He found " astonishingly high " levels of reactive carbonyls in those beverages. Carbonyls are undesirable and highly-reactive compounds associated with " unbound " fructose and glucose molecules [which] are believed to cause tissue damage, said Ho, a professor of food science at Rutgers University in New Jersey.
