That is NOT the correct structure of fructose. You’ve posted glucose, which is not the same as fructose, dummy.

[...] Now instead of reading sugar on the labels of many foods, you might see high fructose corn syrup, crystalline fructose, sucralose, aspartame among others. I like what Dr. Janet Hull says in one of her articles; [...]

Folks,

Here’s what I find frustrating in all of these discussions about sweeteners(glucose, CF, HFCS, etc.) No one mentions a quantity that is unhealthy.

For example, if a normally healthy person of about 200 lbs. has two or three teaspoons of CF added to a 10 oz. cup of coffee per day, what are the detrimental effects (if any) on his (her) health going to be?

In other words, are there any feasible studies related to real life circumstances which can serve as a guide?

Thanks,

P.L.

Sugar and HFCS contain nearly the same one-to-one ratio of two sugars—fructose and glucose: Sugar is 50 percent fructose and 50 percent glucose. High fructose corn syrup is sold principally in two formulations — 42 percent and 55 percent fructose. The high fructose corn syrup used in breads, jams and yogurt is 42% fructose – actually less fructose than what’s found in sugar.

Many confuse pure “fructose” — a sugar also found in fruits and vegetables — with “high fructose corn syrup,” a sweetener that never contains fructose alone, but always in combination with an essentially equivalent amount of a second sugar (glucose). Recent studies that have examined pure fructose have been inappropriately applied to high fructose corn syrup. The resulting confusion has been compounded by careless commentators who ignore the important differences between the two products. Not only does high fructose corn syrup always contain glucose which is missing from pure fructose, but the studies that cause confusion examined artificially high levels of pure fructose not found either in high fructose corn syrup or in any normal diet.

This is not fructose – fructose is a pentose – a 5-membered ring.

Thank you for this simple explanation.

I stopped drinking soda and have avoided HFCS since May. The chocolate milk I was drinking for breakfast had HFCS in it so I switched to another brand that was even lower in fat content. No HFCS. When I started it had cane sugar. Not great but better than HFCS. Today when I read the carton the formula has changed. It now has crystalline fructose. The word Fructose sent me off googling. And low and behold, this is worse than the other milk. No more. I guess I’ll be switching to 100% organic orange juice in the morning. Not sure how I’m going to get my dairy and calcium. I hate regular milk. Maybe I’ll try raw milk. The low fat plain milk tastes just awful.
