High Fructose Corn Syrup Not Good for Humans

I love those commercials on TV where they say that, "...high fructose corn syrup is fine in moderation...". BS! The following story clearly shows that.

It's hard to find a pantry without high fructose corn syrup. It's in cereals, salad dressings, baked goods, fruit juices, crackers and even baby formula.

The sweetener has been linked to obesity and diabetes. Now researchers at Duke Medicine say it may not be good for the liver as well. You may have heard about the study last week on WRAL-TV. Read the story and watch the video by clicking here.

The researchers found only 19 percent of adults with the liver disease reported no intake of fructose-containing beverages, while 52 percent consumed between one and six servings a week and 29 percent consumed fructose-containing beverages on a daily basis.

The study evaluated any beverage with fructose (and 100 percent fruit juices contain fructose). But Abdelmalek told me that more than 90 percent of all the beverages contained high fructose corn syrup.
