Re: Your thoughts on HFCS?

I write a weekly newsletter, and this is what was in yesterday's issue:

Yet another reason to avoid high fructose corn syrup

I am totally against high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), and so aremany other

nutrition professionals, but there has been an ongoing campaign toprove that

high fructose corn syrup is safe and “no different than sugarâ€. It doesn't

matter what you are being told byadvertisements or by anyone else, the ONLY

thing that matters is how your bodyprocesses it. A research team atUCLA came

to a very important conclusion, and made the statement that pancreatic cancer

cells use fructose todivide and proliferate! This answers the question as to why

we are seeingso much more pancreatic cancer, since there are millions of people

who drinksodas and eat foods with this sweetener. The research team found that

the tumorcells, when given glucose or fructose, used them in different ways.

This challenges the argument that all sugarsare the same. Pancreatic cancer is

oneof the most deadly cancers, and everyone would be wise to pay attention to

thisinformation rather than listen to the rebuttals from large companies who

aretrying to make money selling the product.

Other reasons to avoid HFCS – it has been found to contain tracesof mercury,

and it is made using genetically modified corn, which has its ownset of health

related problems. Too much sugar of any kind not only addspounds, but is also a

key culprit in diabetes, heart disease and stroke, and wehave known for a long

time that tumor cells thrive on sugar, but they use the fructose toproliferate.

As you can see, consuming HFCS is pretty much likethrowing gasoline on the fire.

Your thoughts on HFCS?

I would love to pick your brains and see what you tell your patients

regarding HFCS. I've heard so many different things over the years from RDs,

from " it's okay in moderation " to " avoid completely " . Not to mention the

definition of " moderation " varies. Published research seems conflicting as

well.

Thanks in advance.

I strongly advise client/patients to avoid it in all food and drink. It is

interesting that when we removed fat from our food we added HFCS. Since then we

are fatter, have more diabetes then ever in all the history of eating high fat

diets. It is in everything and we now prefer more sweet foods and sweeter sweets

then ever. I won't touch the GM food issue, God help us when the public finds

out about all the problems GM foods cause in rats, let alone humans and how we

encourage GM foods such as corn and soy.

I would not rely on 1 study to claim that fructose (different from HCFS) can

cause pancreatic cancer.

A search on google sheds much more light on this claim.

This is my take on HFCS - it is an added sugar, and we want to help our

clients reduce added sugars in their diets as much as possible. Since it is

found in so many unexpected foods, it is important to teach them to read the

food label.

As for claims about fructose, I've heard that table sugar and honey would

have the same metabolic effect because they all contain similar amounts of

glucose and fructose. There seems to be an emerging body of research

pointing to problems specifically with HFCS but in general the jury is still

out.

Also, there seems to be controversy regarding agave nectar and fructose, but

that is something I need to look more into.

Personally, I just think the stuff is gross! I am always looking for other

RDs' insights on these controversial issues! Thanks for all of your replies.

in general the jury is still

out.

The jury will be out for a long time because it is backed by a large, large,

large industry that stands to lose a lot if HFCS is

discontinued in the food industry. By the way, it's not the ONLY study, but

several of the studies were very abruptly

hushed or immediately disproved. Sure sugar contains glucose + fructose, and so

does honey, but they were nature-made.

High fructose corn syrup is not nature made, and the body obviously doesn't deal

well with the overkill.

If you want more proof, go to google scholar and type in " how is fructose

metabolized " . Lots of proof there in scientific journals.

hushed or immediately disproved. Sure sugar contains glucose + fructose, and so

does honey, but they were nature-made.

High fructose corn syrup is not nature made, and the body obviously doesn't deal

well with the overkill.

If you want more proof, go to google scholar and type in " how is fructose

metabolized " . Lots of proof there in scientific journals.

Cancer cells use all sugars to proliferate and multiply. At least, that's

what I've read, hence the expression " sugar feeds cancer cells " . Do you have

the exact reference for the HFC/cancer relationship?

More evidence coming out that FRUCTOSE is not well utilized and may be

inflammatory in >50 g/d. More items being sweetened with concentrated fruit

juice, corn syrup, etc. My philosophy has always been " eat your fruit, don't

drink it " .

I would love to pick your brains and see what you tell your patients

RDs,

from " it's okay in moderation " to " avoid completely " . Not to mention the

definition of " moderation " varies. Published research seems conflicting as

Interesting to me how they jump back and forth between HFCS and fructose.

The research was done with fructose, not HFCS so I think it's a stretch (and

one that I understand why they're making) to presume that consuming HFCS

is the same as consuming fructose.

I googled fructose and pancreatic cancer and read that these cells grew on a

petri dish, not in humans, that they also grew in sucrose

but not as much.
