Re: Your thoughts on HFCS?

[Guest guest]

Well, I don't see the evidence that you do and certainly not from the

study. I think it was a leap of faith from the study results to the conclusion.

Look, I agree. Let's go back to using sugar. I'm with you on that. And the

truth is that if people ate less processed foods, they'd get less HFCS and

that would be the end of it. I'm more interested right now in the effects

of fructose itself if that is indeed an issue. Fructose from honey? From

agave? From other sweeteners. Doesn't really help to demonize HFCS....it's

really the foods their in that we should be working to get people to stop

eating. Eating too many sweetened foods.

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.

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?

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

d

oesn'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.

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.
