A Princeton University research team has demonstrated that all sweeteners are not equal when it comes to weight gain: Rats with access to high-fructose corn syrup gained significantly more weight than those with access to table sugar, even when their overall caloric intake was the same. In addition to causing significant weight gain in lab animals, long-term consumption of high-fructose corn syrup also led to abnormal increases in body fat, especially in the abdomen, and a rise in circulating blood fats called triglycerides. The researchers say the work sheds light on the factors contributing to obesity trends in the United States.
May be? People love to bitch about how "diet" cola is bad for you. I would never classify diet drinks as nutritious or beneficial, but I'd rather drink that stuff than the high fructose corn syrup-laden non-diet drinks.
High-fructose corn syrup is found in a wide range of foods and beverages, including fruit juice, soda, cereal, bread, yogurt, ketchup and mayonnaise.
Guyjin, that is obvious.
Diet soda won't make you skinnier, but regular soda is worse for your overall health.
HFCS is practically an industry standard. The corn industry is friggin' HUGE. It's almost as if real sugar is illegal... the proliferation of HFCS sure makes it seem that way.
Duh!Though I am an anomaly. I drink pop all day and dont get no fats from it
lol.. you're also around the 20. just wait till ya grown bit older
Was it? I had no idea it was in bread until I read about this: I went and looked and all my bread has HFCS in it.
I hear if you eat too much of it, it causes drain bamage.
